A number of us freepers have been posting stories about the over reach by the regime on the National Parks closures. This is a populist issue that along with all the others associated with this shutdown has, according to a recent poll, driven O`Bozo`s approval ratings down to 37%. I believe we need to jump on this and hammer it home to the "low info voters". A simple and petty example of the vindictiveness of the "Spite House" such as this parks issue illustrates it for even the blind.
Or a big bolt cutter, they are silent and quick.
I’m encouraged the millenials you spoke with blame Obastard. I’m expecting people to be angry, but at us.
re: “So is the term, “The Spite House”.
Another great one, thanks!
Well two guys are not the whole crowd and they were very angry at “the right” too but these guys were regulars to the Tow Path and recognized that its the NPS rangers that did the closing.
We’re a nation of law-abiders. We are also a nation of rogues when we think the laws are stupid (see “Prohibition”).
Give them some time...if Boehner doesn’t fold and this goes on for a while, Obastard is going to heap injustice upon injustice and it will eventually topple. But if Boehner caves, the GOP will be lost forever, and a new party will have to replace the 21st Century Whigs.
I understand, I don’t expect them to go “Full TEA Party” on a dime. Just understanding Obastard is not perfect is that first chink in the armor. I’ve been telling my friends (our side) that even the LIVs know who’s putting the Barrycades up, and it ain’t Congress.
Baby steps....
If someone were to accidentally cut the snow-fences in a diagonal pattern instead of straight up and down, it really cuts down on reuse of the fence stock, wink wink. Theoretically of course.
If Boehner had an ounce of common sense or even a millimeter of public relations sense, he and the Republican caucus would be at Andrews Air Force Base to meet the next flag draped coffins to act as honor guards.
I just heard on the radio that the Secretary of Defense Hagel is down at Andrews Air Force Base meeting the plane. Meanwhile, Jay Carney is shucking and jiving in an effort to turn back blame for this fiasco on the Republicans for improperly writing a law protecting veterans and for shutting down the government in the first place. The radio report left it quite open that this was the reason for widows and orphans being deprived of money to bury fallen heroes.
If we want to know why the Republicans cannot win a public-relations battle we ought to understand that, yes, we have the media to overcome but we do not overcome their resistance with talking heads. We need to do show and tell so the media will cover it. Next, I have been preaching since the Sarah Palin fiasco that principal Republican leaders should have a staff not just of speechwriters but of comedians who can break through the media wall with satire and humor.
These guys have millions of dollars to squander on repetitive TV ads but they have not a fraction of this amount to hone their message. These old bulls in the House and the Senate are 60 and 70 years old and they wonder why they are losing the vote of the 20 and 30-year-olds.
Millennials are Libertarian leaning. They believe in things like social justice and community service, but don’t trust the government to be involved.
They voted for Obama from a brand image marketing perspective. Doing so made them feel good about themselves. Just like owning an iPhone does.
Enough woke up to Obama in his first term to cause a six point drop in support for him in the 2012 election.
The question is, where can Conservatives find enough common cause with them to win elections, without selling out on core principles? Very tough question to answer, but if a happy medium can be found the Dems may be relegated to minority party status for 20-30 years. Especially since a lot of Obamas actions are driving them in our direction.
Or cut the zip ties, roll up the fencing, and “store” it for them in the brush?
Too kind. Yes, like that.
Another day, another blown opportunity by our “betters.”
I should mention, though, the military could make it backfire by refusing entry to our Congresscritters, then screaming about how our side is trying to showboat the dead soldiers, so it must be approached with finesse.
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3076717/posts another small victory, for the time being.
The gate I think they would close has a shroud over the lock to keep people from simply cutting the lock. I plan to saw through the gate pipe. That, or hook a chain to the thing and rip it out with my truck.
Those leftists love those parks. They are hurt the most from this over reach.
There’s really nothing to be so concerned about. If you don’t count Miriam Carey and a few other people, our government hasn’t actually started shooting down people in the streets.
