Each and everyone should ask for a jury trial. Then we will see what the people would say about this “illegal activity!”

I have known many park rangers who were real Americans and decent people

Just shows:

  1. what they're really made of when the brown stuff hits the fan.
  2. And some people are easily deceived

Nearly two dozen people have been issued citations for entering Grand Canyon National Park after a partial government shutdown President Stompyfeet forced its closure.

Fixed.

DUmmie FUnnies 10-07-13 ("This Land's Not Your Land": DUmmies down with Obama's park shutdown)


THIS LAND'S NOT YOUR LAND
Tune: "This Land Is Your Land"
As sung by King Obama

This land's not your land, this land is my land
Shut down or open, it comes from my hand
From Barack Obama to the bitter clingers:
This land's not made for you to see

If you go driving an interstate highway
And see an orange cone, you'll do it my way
You will obey me and not go forward
This land's not made for you to see

This land's not your land, this land is my land
Shut down or open, it comes from my hand
From Barack Obama to the bitter clingers:
This land's not made for you to see

You'll want to travel and go to Mount Rushmore
But at Rapid City, you won't go much more
Guards will surround you, their voices sounding:
This land's not made for you to see

This land's not your land, this land is my land
Shut down or open, it comes from my hand
From Barack Obama to the bitter clingers:
This land's not made for you to see

If you oppose me, I'll make you suffer
Come near memorials, I'll put up a buffer
I am Obama, I am your land lord
This land's not made for you to see

This land's not your land, this land is my land
Shut down or open, it comes from my hand
From Barack Obama to the bitter clingers:
This land's not made for you to see

If you go looking, you'll see a sign there
And on the sign it says: "There's No Trespassing"
And on the other side: "No Looking or Nothing!"
Both sides were made for you to see

This land's not your land, this land is my land
Shut down or open, it comes from my hand
From Barack Obama to the bitter clingers:
This land's not made for you to see

At the Redwood Forest, in the land of the Canyons
By the Gulfstream Waters, you'll see my minions
As they stand there guarding, you'll stand there wond'ring:
Is this land safe for me to see?

This land's not your land, this land is my land
Shut down or open, it comes from my hand
From Barack Obama to the bitter clingers:
This land's not made for you to see

No one can stop me, my mind is made up
As I go putting my Barrycades up
Nobody living can make me give your land back
This land's not made for you to see

New voices:

But King Obama, this land is our land
So shut your piehole, you can go pound sand
From the bitter clingers to Barack Obama:
This land was founded to be free

This land ain't your land, this land is our land
So shut your piehole, you can go pound sand
From the bitter clingers to Barack Obama:
This land was founded to be free

If no one pays the fine and they all demand a trial, it will shut down the federal court for years.

I no longer have any doubts about that. They will do as they’re told.

We do have a public safety issue at Grand Canyon National Park. People hike down into the Canyon, thinking that they won’t get into trouble and then have to be rescued.

I’m not wild about the National Park shutdown and fail to see the reason why inns on the Blue Ridge Parkway have been forced to be closed or why the parking lot at Mount Vernon has been blocked. I’m no fan of the Barrycades and cannot fathom why Obama thinks imposing these difficulties is a good idea.

Grand Canyon is my favorite National Park and I hate to see it be closed. But, given that people increasingly don’t know their limitations, closing that particular site may be necessary.

As an aside, I wonder what is being done about the rafters on the Colorado River. If all goes well, then they will have no contact with the National Park staff after putting in at Lee’s Ferry, but I assume that someone is manning the emergency call line should a rafting party have an emergency and need assistance.

The states should seize these parks since they are important to the local state economies and keep the roads and parks open.

Where are pictures and names of the park-police who are arresting/fining citizens? I would be interesting to know who these quislings are.

Or that a small, evil minority can wreck the reputation of the moral majority. It would not surprise me if the thugs are offering to pay those who will persecute decent Americans. Brownshirts may be offered status as "essential" workers if they are willing to issue citations to decent people, and it only takes a few who will do it for the money or for the power trip.

The Park Service is notorious for believing park visitors are intruders, invading the park employee’s ‘home’. They are thrilled to have the chance to turn the intruders away!

It seems that there are a lot of them for a "small evil minority." I read that the Barrycades at the Pisgah Inn are manned by 5 rangers 24/7. Running eight hour shifts that's 15 of them just for that. Then you add up all of the rangers that are running around in other parks issuing citations for trespass it ads up to quite a few.

"A big name for a little piss ant."

There needs to be a legal way to make these apparatchiks pay a price for carrying out the emperor's orders and to motivate them to change - be it shunning, refusal to allow them to buy groceries, or be served in local restaurants, posting of their names, pictures and locations so the neighbors know about them, lawsuits for illegal arrests and tickets, or whatever.
