MORE SHUTDOWN INSANITY - Talladega Trail of Tears
personal friend on FB ^ | An American Mother

Posted on 10/07/2013 9:28:04 AM PDT by AnAmericanMother

This has to be read to be believed.

A group of competitive trail riders, having just completed 75 and 50 mile endurance rides, were evicted from Talladega NF in the middle of the night. Exhausted horses and humans were forced to move trailers out of a pine grove in the dark under threat of fines and prosecutions.

The local park rangers were sympathetic, but U.S. Marshals were brought in (no doubt at great expense) to ensure that the rangers caused as much pain as possible despite their personal sympathy.

Coming soon to a government function near you . . . < cough cough Obamacare cough cough >

Anybody still wondering if these thugs would fire upon civilians if ordered to?

Regardless of what government owned park you’re referring to, if you try to enter and they don’t want you to, they’ll beat you, shoot you and or kill you or throw you in a cage.

My point is, you don’t own these tax paid parks...The government does.

I honestly believe that some where in this fine country is some Man or Woman that will stand up and others will follow that person, to right this country.
This AM, Judge Andrew P. Napolitano was on Fox Business news and was talking about our(?) government allowing “Mug Shots” to be published when it is a crime. How long before they publish a list of gun owners?
Never mind, they already have.
If a person was to think of resistance to a “take away”, one would have to plan waaaaaaaay ahead. Capt. John Morton has to many Sgt. Shultz’s on the take.
If you fail to take your med.s, they may just shoot you.

*Time to play cow boys and park rangers ?*

Time for some heavy duty Civil Disobedience?

What is a half million people showed up to a place they aren't “supposed to be in”?

The Democrat shutdown could easily be solved if the rigid inflexible tyrant would give up on his dream to make everyone miserable with his UnAffordable Healthcare Act

Not a matter of “if”, but “when”.

When they do... Be ready, ‘cause S is going to HTF quick after that.

I have sent this to Michelle Malkin, Fox news, etc. I hope it gets publicity as it is the perfect example of : No common sense, Spitefulness, causing dangerous situations to make a political point....and probably many, many more!! Anyone have other ideas how to expose this latest stunt????

How long are the people going to stand for this abuse? How long are we going to be compliant with the Gestapo-like tactics of this administration? It is time to stand against them! Before they crush us all.

Well, there’s the crux then...

No where does it say in the Constitution that the FedGov gets to run a Federal park system. Nor that they can deny the public access to public lands.

That’s what patriots are doing all over the country...crossing barrycades and using their property...

We vastly outnumber them.

Thing about the 4th of july...and how many of us shoot off fireworks in states were they are technically illegal....sure if you are blowing them off at 4am you might get a visit....there are simply too many to arrest and 9pm......they just sit and watch...

They are easier to come by when the job market is tight.

I couldn’t help but think that a couple of park rangers disarmed forced to walk away from an encounter wearing a couple pounds of tar and feathers might send quite the effective message.

Maybe a few federal goons and lackeys waking up some morning soon to a sign posted in their front yards saying “You Live Among Us” might also send some kind of message......

As a rider who has enjoyed those parklands and trails myself, this is OUTRAGEOUS!! And with NO concern for the safety of the departing riders, horses OR those that would meet with those exhausted drivers on the highways home.....sharing as far and wide as I can!!

When we were with 1000000-1500000 others at the big TEA party in WDC a few years ago, we thought “what if we surrounded the Congress and other govt buildings and refused to leave until...?” Really, lots of people gathered together are powerful. What could they do...kill or arrest all of us?
