President Barack Obama said in his weekly address today that he had set aside more than 265 million acres of public lands and waters as national parks and monuments, which is more than any administration in history.
Among the national monuments he created, Obama said in his weekly address, was Stonewall. This monument commemorates riots that took place in 1969.
Citing Yosemite and Yellowstone national parks, leading into his citation of Stonewall, Obama said: As President, Im proud to have built upon Americas tradition of conservation.
The president said in his June 24 proclamation [1] creating the Stonewall National Monument:
In the early morning hours of June 28, 1969, a riot broke out in response to a police raid on the Stonewall Inn, at the time one of the City's best known LGBT bars. Over the course of the next several days, more demonstrations and riots occurred in the surrounding neighborhood including Christopher Park. During these days, because of its strategic location across from the bar, Christopher Park served as a gathering place, refuge, and platform for the community to voice its demand for LGBT civil rights. The Stonewall Uprising is considered by many to be the catalyst that launched the modern LGBT civil rights movement.

In other words...weve stolen more land from the American people
Yet nobody has seen his a$$ in flooded Louisiana.
The remainder of his term will be filled with such vanity projects as this. We don’t need more monuments, we need less taxation, more jobs and better public education.
Well, he did send jeh down to check it out cause “the (p)resident has a very busy schedule.” You know, like a $32,000/plate fund raiser for the ever entertaining hildabama. Oh and golf. Now, had it been the chocolate city that was flooded..............
Don’t they already have a monument to Stonewall and standing up for state’s rights?
Stonewall NYC: likely to be the next place for winos and other sorted types to hang out and defile.
99%+ of the U. S. have never heard of this Stonewall Inn. It’s a monument to nowhere.
Look what I did, I have mismanaged millions of acres of public lands. It has been all about restricting the use of public lands for the public good. These are lands that would have been making the government money, instead they are being mismanaged and creating a huge fire load. Obama is insane.
I’m guessing the Mooch and the girls are gonna be off on a worldwide gala tour to investigate flooding caused by global warming. Paris, London, Barcelona, Milan, Rome, Prague, et al....you know, all those places prone to global warming flooding. They’ll be back on November 7.
Just think, this gay beer joint joins the likes of other National Monuments such as the Washington Monument, the White House, the Lincoln Memorial, the Grand Canyon,
and Mt. Rushmore, etc.
Force everyone to the Cities and then send them out as Slave to work on Farms
I approve!
Sounds like U.N.Agenda 21.
Set aside for what? Set aside lands for your criminal “pals” via the Bureau of Land Management? FUOtraitor.
“..It has been all about restricting the use of public lands for the public good.”
Yes, the DemocRat socialist playbook. They have been grabbing land from the public for the power and control of the BIG FED GOVERNMENT. Another thing for President Trump to fix.
Follow THAT money.
I wonder who owns the bar, and just got a billion dollar check from the gubmint.
Hundreds of young black men killing each other every year in his hometown, biblical flooding in Louisiana, unknown persons pouring across our borders...and this is what this man wants to talk about.
