In your face, Spite House! Blue Ridge inn blockaded by Park Police reopens today [legal docs #80]
Twitchy ^ | October 9, 2013 | Staff

Posted on 10/09/2013 9:28:20 AM PDT by abb

The Pisgah Inn on the Blue Ridge Parkway in North Carolina created a publicity crap storm for the Spite House when operators were forced to close during the government shutdown. The inn sits on federal land and despite the owner’s attempt to defy orders from the Park Police, he was forced to close his doors and throw away spoiled food during the height of fall foliage season.

Today, the inn will reopen at 5 p.m. and all October reservations will be honored.

Good for these people! I hope folks make an extra attempt to dine there and enjoy the beautiful surroundings in order to make up for the lost revenue.

We’re winning. The Community Organizer doesn’t understand street theater? He doesn’t understand the people?

This is the worst politics I’ve ever seen. Who is running this guy?

I like the way you think!!

In a truly free country they would have the right to refuse service to Federal Nazis.

Never let a good disaster go to waste. With the shutdown we know exactly where to cut government fat out of the system. Let’s get trimming in 2014.

Keep the names of the thugs who enforced this for a national database of Shameful Americans. The citizens need to come to know that being a government thug is a Shameful thing.

These episodes of park police doing this blockading and closing of even private properties have revealed something: the arrow of their loyalties points away from the people and toward the government.

If things go badly for the country, you might want to keep that in mind.
