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 >

Please share this with everybody you know. The local news media is completely IGNORING the story!

Another red line?

Red lines on asphalt. Red lines on water. Now a red line in the forest.

Did somebody give Barry a box of red crayons for Christmas or something?

Guys like Obama have no trouble finding people to carry out his orders.

Maybe we should start sending red crayons to Obama, as a form of protest

Good grief. Well, in addition to making it clear that this is an act of personal spite, directed against users who are most likely to be in the group despised by Obama, it also shows that he doesn't trust all of his minions to carry out his orders and needs to have another set of enforcers.

All these things are OWNED by the people, not the government. I wish I was home because I’d go marching up to one of these closed monuments and dare them to arrest me.

The local park rangers were sympathetic

Why?

Are they not paid agents of the government?

Example reply:

" Yes Luke, I know the house tried to keep them open, if not simply because closing them costs MORE, but that would have lost leverage for the dems so it wasn't happening. Still, there was an even bigger lesson in it...the government is the most inefficient runner of business imaginable!!"

People are getting the message. The MSM is following the Obama Playbook but Facebook and Twitter are getting the truth out.

The pendulum will swing, and my prime hope is that triple that pain will be inflicted on the perps. (Perp does not equal those poor folks at the front line...perp means Pelosi, Reid, and the Stinking piece of White Sewage posing as a human being.) May the flies be with him.

Oh, forgot, they already are.

Obama is slime.

The fedgov drones carrying out these orders are pricks just as much as the dictator.

Not likely. I don't think you'd find that the majority of trail riders are Obama voters.

In fact, I think he's targeting certain national monuments, parks and even land just because it's unlikely that there will be many Obama voters among the users.

Mt bro-in-law is a big outdoors guy, he was saying all corps of engineer land is closed. So no lake fishing for him (in our area anyway) and no hunting. Tell it to Obama, tell it to Reid.

Isn’t the White House on Federal property?

Evict those living there now until this “crisis” is over.

How is it that the Obamas and Bidens get to stay in their residences? Aren’t THOSE on Federal property?

You don't own anything the government can't take...

Don't believe me? Stop paying fees, fines and government taxes and see what happens...They'll beat you, shoot you, kill you and or throw you in a cage..

I wish I were joking.
