Although the Republicans seem to have been unable to make political gains during the shutdown, the shutdown has nevertheless served one very useful purpose: President Obama’s spitefulness has opened American eyes to the fact that our federal government does not believe that it works for the American people. Instead, it holds the unconstitutional belief that Americans are its subjects. It was this view that led Obama to instruct the National Park Service to spend extra money during the shutdown to deny Americans access to their own national monuments.

Americans make their first move on the government barriers shutting off the Lincoln Memorial

Within seconds, the barriers are pushed to the side

Many Americans, however, have started to understand that, if everyone simply ignores a tyrant, there’s little that the tyrant can do – provided, of course, that the tyrant is unwilling to shed citizen blood. So far, thankfully, there’s no indication that the federal government intends to use violence to control American citizens.

With the barriers gone, a trickle of Americans head to the statue of the man who proclaimed that American is “government of the people, by the people, for the people”

Eventually people pour onto the Memorial grounds

On Saturday, protesters were joined by hundreds of other people when they took down the metal barricades that the National Park Service, at great expense, had placed in front of the Lincoln Memorial. To their great credit, National Park Service rangers who were present when this took place did nothing to stop them. (It really is to their credit, since we have no idea how much pressure individual rangers are being subject to from the administration.)

Americans made their stand

In the video below, Taylor Hemness, a KLTV-7 reporter, describes a moment he sees as “historic.” Watch to the end to hear the wonderful cheer American citizens given when they reclaim their heritage.

Million Vet March Storms National Mall; 'Barrycades' Fall, Ted Cruz Speaks!

The “Million Veteran March” has come to Washington D.C. to protest the closing of the monuments dedicated to their honor and sacrifice. Many have theorized that the monuments were barricaded merely to heighten the pain of the government shutdown by the Obama administration, but the vets made short work of the closings.

Sarah Palin stands with WWII vets, stumps for N.J. Senate candidate

Sarah Palin returned to the national stage over the weekend at a pair of public events highlighting the tea party's fight against President Barack Obama.

On Saturday, Palin and her Tea Party Express bus rolled into New Jersey to stump for Steve Lonegan, the Republican Senate candidate running against Newark Mayor Cory Booker in Wednesday's special election to fill the seat vacated by Sen. Frank Lautenburg's death in June.

A poll released last week by Quinnipiac University showed Booker's lead over Lonegan — which was 28 points in August — has been cut to 12. According to the New York Times, Lonegan, a former mayor of Bogota, N.J., has surged "by framing the election as a referendum on Mr. Booker’s celebrity."

“My opponent, Cory Booker, was anointed by Hollywood," Lonegan said. "He was anointed by Oprah."

Yet it was Lonegan who called on Palin's star-power on Saturday.

More than 2,000 people turned out at a race track to see the former Alaskan governor and vice presidential candidate praise the GOP's stance against Obama's Affordable Care Act and bash the closing of war memorials during the shutdown.

“But Michelle Obama’s really groovy ‘Let’s Move’ video is still up and running because you can’t be chubby,” Palin said. "And our government thinks they can shut down our memorials that honor our vets? For shame."

Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul and Texas Gov. Rick Perry have both campaigned for Lonegan, but their popularity pales in comparison to Palin, who has a combined 4.7 million followers on Facebook and Twitter. The last time Palin appeared at a Tea Party Express rally was in 2012.

“Something big is happening here," Palin said of Lonegan's surge. “The country knows it, the media knows it.”

At one point, Palin compared the legality of Obamacare to the Prohibition-era ban on alcohol. “I believe now you can get a beer with your famous New Jersey pizza," Palin said.

On Sunday, Palin and her husband, Mark, appeared at the World War II and Lincoln memorials with Sen. Ted Cruz in Washington, D.C., where she continued her rant against the White House.

"We're here to show that the size of America's heart for our veterans is immeasurable," Palin said. "But look around. Barricades to shut down our memorials? Is this how a commander in chief expresses his gratitude? This 'shutdown' priority proves a shameful lack of respect."
Palin then quoted former President Ronald Reagan.
"Ronald Reagan said, 'Some people live an entire lifetime wondering if they ever made a difference in the world,'" she said. "You, vets, need never ask that of yourselves. You made all the difference. Our war memorials remind us of the cost to keep us free. You paid the price. Rest now. We will pick up the mantle. We won't let you down. We now take up the fight for freedom."

Obama’s Record: Infliction of Pain During Government Shutdown

4 Comments

While it is true, that during the partial shutdown of the government, quite a few "non-essential" federal employees have been furloughed; it seems that those who remain on the job, have inflicted much discomfort on the American people. The closing of all National Parks and monuments has been inexcusable, particularly the open air monuments. However, what is even more inexcusable and heinous, is the treatment of our nation's service men and women, coupled with the disgraceful treatment of the families of fallen warriors and also our nations veterans.

Yes, ladies and gentlemen, I do have a "dog in the fight" on this particular issue, being a veteran myself. What angers me the most, is that this issue was "after the fact." Only after a story hit the media about the families of dead soldiers who weren't receiving the death benefits, then there was widespread "outrage" from both sides of the aisle. It should never have been a question, it should have been a given to take care of these families who lost loved ones and such an inexcusable act should NEVER have happened in the first place.
But everything from closing our national Monuments, to the criminal mistreatment of our servicemen ,women and veterans is Barack Hussein's doing, this can be laid directly at his feet. Here is a list by JOHN NOLTE where he clearly lays out what Obama and the Democrats has done to purposely hurt you and me.
1. Treatments for Children Suffering From Cancer - The GOP have agreed to a compromise by funding part of the government, including the National Institutes of Health, which offers children with cancer last-chance experimental treatment. Obama has threatened to veto this funding.
2. The World War II Memorial - The WWII memorial on the DC Mall is a 24/7 open-air memorial that is not regularly staffed. Although the White House must have known that WWII veterans in their eighties and nineties had already booked flights to visit this memorial, the White House still found the resources to spitefully barricade the attraction.
The Republican National Committee has offered to cover any costs required to keep the memorial open. The White House refused. Moreover, like the NIH, the GOP will pass a compromise bill that would fund America's national parks. Obama has threatened to veto that bill.
3. Furloughed Military Chaplains Not Allowed to Work for Free - Furloughed military chaplains willing to celebrate Mass and baptisms for free have been told they will be punished for doing so.
4. Business Stops In Florida Keys - Although the GOP have agreed to compromise in the ongoing budget stalemate and fund the parks, Obama has threatened to veto that funding. As a result, small businesses, hunters, and commercial fisherman can't practice their trade. While the feds have deemed the personnel necessary to keep this area open "non-essential," the "enforcement officers" to ensure no business is done are "essential."
5. Obama Blacks Out Sports, Entertainment Programming to Overseas Troops- The American Forces Network (AFN) that provides American sports and entertainment programming to our troops stationed abroad, has been shut down. For some reason, though, AFN News will still broadcast news, just not any of the popular and fun stuff.
Camp David is essential, but popular programming for heroes overseas is non-essential.
6. Obama Closes D-Day Memorial - The GOP have offered to compromise and fund the National Parks. Obama has said he will veto this compromise legislation. As a result, along with 24 other military cemeteries, the D-Day memorial in Normandy has been barricaded.
7. Obama Tries to Close Privately-Funded Mt. Vernon - Although George Washington's Mt. Vernon estate is privately funded, the feds blocked visitors from entering the parking area because the Park Service maintains the lot. Apparently, the New Media publicity resulted in the feds backing down.
8. Obama Closes Over 100 Privately-Managed Parks That Cost No Money to Run - The U.S. Treasury actually makes money from the rent paid by a private company that "employs about 400-500 camp workers and managers across about a dozen states." No federal money is used to operate these parks. No federal employees are used to staff these parks. Taxpayers make a profit from these parks. Still, Obama had them closed and as a result 400-500 employees and a private business are taking it in the neck.
9. Obama Closes Self-Sustaining Colonial Farm It Hasn't Supported Since 1980 - "For the first time in 40 years, the National Park Service (NPS) has finally succeeded in closing the Farm down to the public. In previous budget dramas, the Farm has always been exempted since the NPS provides no staff or resources to operate the Farm."
10. Obama Tries to Close State-Run Parks in Wisconsin - "The park service ordered state officials to close the northern unit of the Kettle Moraine, Devil's Lake, and Interstate state parks and the state-owned portion of the Horicon Marsh, but state authorities rebuffed the request because the lion's share of the funding came from state, not federal coffers."
11. Obama Closes Vietnam Memorial - The GOP have passed compromise legislation that would fund national memorials and parks, and open them to the public. Obama threatened a veto. Apparently, the "essential" government employees are those erecting barricades, not those who could keep the memorial open.
12. Obama Closes Privately-Owned Hotel, Police Block Parking Lot - "The operator of a 51-room inn located on U.S. government-owned land in North Carolina abandoned his defiant stance on Thursday to keep the property open despite being ordered to close as part of the federal government shutdown."
October is this inn's prime season. The GOP have offered compromise funding opening the parks. Obama said he will veto that compromise.
State troopers blocked customers from entering the inn's parking lot.
13. Park Service Ranger: 'We've Been Told to Make Life As Difficult For People As We Can' - "It's a cheap way to deal with the situation," an angry Park Service ranger in Washington says of the harassment. "We've been told to make life as difficult for people as we can. It's disgusting."
14. Obama Forces Residents Out of Private Homes - "The government shutdown is being felt close to home for some locals. They say they're being forced out of private homes on Lake Mead because they sit on federal land."
The GOP have agreed to fund the parks. Obama has threatened a veto.
15. Acadia Park In Maine Shut Down - '"We've been training for two years at CrossFit for this hike — no kidding," Hart said. She added that the shutdown should be as inconvenient for the Washington politicians who caused it as it is for average citizens.'
The GOP have agreed to fund the parks. Obama said he will veto.
16. Historic Restaurant Open During Last Shutdown Forced to Close - "An iconic Philadelphia restaurant has been forced to close its doors and turn away booked parties because of the government shutdown. …
"Restaurant public relations director Molly Yun said they were notified there was a possibility a closure might happen, but they were allowed to remain open during the last government shutdown 17 years ago."
The restaurant is part of the federal park system, which the GOP have agreed to fund. Obama said he will veto the funding.
17. Obama Shuts Down a Road That Goes Through CO Park: "The Forest Service announcement, in turn, led the Pitkin County commissioners to order that Maroon Creek Road be shut down at the height of the colorful leaf-changing season. Ahead of what is to be one of the busiest weekends of the fall, the road is to be closed to vehicles at T-Lazy-7 Ranch, pending a resolution to the government shutdown."
The GOP have agreed to fund the parks. Obama said he will veto that compromise funding.
18. Residents Plan Protest of Cape Hatteras Closing - "Businesses and residents on the Outer Banks have planned a peaceful protest of the closure of Hatteras Island's beaches due to the government shut down.
"The U.S. House Wednesday passed a measure to reopen national parks and monuments. It will now go to the U.S. Senate."
In the unlikely event the Democrat Senate passes the bill, Obama has threatened a veto of any compromise legislation opening the parks.
19. Obama Blocks People From LOOKING at Mt. Rushmore - "Blocking access to trails and programs at South Dakota's most popular attraction was one thing, but state officials didn't expect Congress' budget stalemate to shut down a view of Mount Rushmore.
"The National Park Service placed cones along highway viewing areas outside Mount Rushmore this week, barring visitors from pulling over and taking pictures of the famed monument.
The cones first went up Oct. 1, said Dusty Johnson, Gov. Dennis Daugaard's chief of staff. The state asked that they be taken down, and federal officials did so with some of them. The state was told the cones were a safety precaution to help channel cars into viewing areas rather than to bar their entrance."
20. Crucial USDA Websites Taken Down - "The U.S. Department of Agriculture has turned off its entire website in response to the government shutdown, leaving farmers, reporters and others with no way to access any of the agency's information online. …
"USDA's total website shutdown goes far beyond the response of other federal agencies, and seems to be part of an effort to make people feel the effects of the shutdown. Thursday morning calls to USDA's press office seeking an explanation were not answered."
This website is down and yet the ObamaCare and White House websites are up.
21. St. Louis Gateway Arch Closed - The GOP have agreed to compromise legislation funding the parks. Obama has threatened a veto.
22. Park Shutdown Bounces Rowers from Potomac - "The ripple effect of a government shutdown has pushed rowers from the Potomac River.



"Multiple high schools rent space at the Thompson Boat Center in Georgetown. But like other places controlled by the National Park Service, it closed Tuesday morning."
The GOP have agreed to compromise funding opening the parks. Obama has threatened a veto.
23. Thompson Boat Center Closed In DC - The GOP have agreed to fund the parks. Obama said he will veto.
24. Obama Closes Military Commissary - "Military members, veterans and families who shop at local tax-free store are shocked to discover the store's doors locked; no progress to end stalemate in Washington."
While the government has deemed the White House chefs "essential," working class military personnel have lost their tax-free store privileges.
Military personnel and their families tell me that they have never lost these privileges in previous shutdowns.
25. Arizona Offers to Fund Grand Canyon, Obama Says 'Drop Dead' - "Obama has ordered the Grand Canyon to stay closed, even after the state of Arizona and local businesses have offered to cover the costs necessary to keep it open. In other words, the shutdown isn't about the money — it's about hurting the American people just because he can."
26. Amber Alert Website Taken Offline - CNN reported that bad press was a factor in the site going back up.
Why would White House chefs and Obama's golf course be categorized as "essential," while the government classified as "non-essential" the Amber Alert website?
Of course, this is the same Obama threatening to veto cancer treatments for children.
27. Miramar Air Show Canceled With One-Day Notice -"The emotional and economic impacts of losing this year's event are great, and I'm extremely disappointed in the political dysfunction that brought us to this point," Gloria said.
"Proceeds from the event go to programs that support families of military personnel, he said."
28. At Start of Peak Season, Shutdown Closes Peaks of Otter Lodge - "Although the Blue Ridge Parkway remains open to travelers, the Peaks of Otter Lodge cannot stay open while the National Park Service is not operating during to the government shutdown. With no Congressional compromise reached by the end of the day Monday, the lodge's restaurant shut down and guests were given 48 hours to find somewhere else to stay."
The GOP have agreed to compromise and fund the parks. Obama has threatened a veto.
29. Federal Prison Guards Not Getting Paid, Inmates Are - "Most of the employees at the federal prison in Forrest City are working without knowing when they will get a paycheck because of the government shutdown, but some of the inmates who get paid for the work they do inside will have no problem collecting their money."
30. Family that Paid $2,000 for Permit Not Allowed to Raft - "Sorry for the inconvenience," it read.

That's when rangers told them they wouldn't be able to put in on the river the next day, despite having paid $2,000 for a permit to do so.

The news was shattering, Scott Lee said.
The GOP have agreed to fund the parks. Obama has threatened a veto.
31. Although Privately Funded, Historic Ford's Theater Closed - "Ford's Theatre, which is a private non-profit 501(c)(3) organization, does not use any federal funding or federal employees for its performances. During previous government shutdowns, the theatre has continued performances."
32. King Crab Season Threatened by Government Shutdown - "The Alaska king crab season is set to start soon, but all the fishing boats will have to stay docked because the government must sign off on permits and quotas.

"Fisherman stand to lose hundreds of thousands of dollars unless lawmakers make a compromise."
Obama's golf course is open. So is the website for Michelle Obama's "Let's Move."
33. Children Might Lose School Lunches - "Minnesotans are adjusting to the partial government shutdown, but if it lingers too long, there is a chance the 300,000 kids who rely on free or reduced lunches at school could go hungry."
The White House chefs have not been furloughed.
34. Feds Shut Down Major Roadway, Puts Children's Lives at Risk - "Nearly a third of Blount County is inside the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. So when the federal government shut down the park, it also shut down one of the area's chief sources of revenue.
"The children live in the eastern Tennessee community of Top of the World – serviced by School Bus 49. Normally, the bus travels along the Foothills Parkway. Other roads leading to the isolated mountain community are impassible by bus.
"It's dangerous," said Nancy Kemp, the spokesperson for Blount County Schools. "It's very curvy and straight up the mountain. It's just not a safe route.""
The GOP have offered compromise legislation funding the parks. Obama has threatened a veto.
35. Road to Brasstown Bald Closed During Peak Season - "It's not unusual for the road to the top of Brasstown Bald, the highest point in Georgia, to be closed in the winter months but in early October, with "leaf-looking" season just around the corner?
"The Georgia Department of Transporation (GDOT) announced Monday, though, that it is, in fact, closed. Why? At the request of the U.S. Forest Service and because of the government shutdown. The forest service operates the facilities on top of the mountain as well as the visitors' center at its base."
The GOP have offered compromise legislation to open the parks. Obama has threatened a veto.
36. Columbia Island and Washington Sailing Marina Closed - Email from reader: "My husband received an email from WSM saying that boat owners could only go to their boats to remove items. If they leave the slip with their boat they are not allowed to return to their (paid for) slip the government re opens."
37. IRS Collections Operational, Taxpayer Advocate Office Closed - Per an email from reader.
38. Eleven Hundred Square Miles of Florida Ocean Closed - Email: "You omitted the ban on Florida charter boat captains taking fishermen into an 1,100 square mile section of ocean of the coast of Tampa. Apparently, government resources patrol it."
39. Iwo Jima Memorial Closed, Barricades Erected - "Another open-air memorial in the Washington area is closed and barricaded off: the Iwo Jima Memorial, just across the bridge from D.C. in Rosslyn, Virginia. A source sends along this picture of the barricade set-up at the memorial, which is also called the U.S. Marine Corps War Memorial."
40. Police Remove Vietnam War Veterans at Memorial Wall - "Via William Jacobson, NBC's affiliate in Washington, D.C. reports that police ordered tourists and Vietnam war veterans who were visiting the Vietnam Veterans Memorial Wall to leave the memorial at one point on Friday."
41. Shutdown Denies Death Benefits to Families of Fallen Soldiers - "The families of five U.S. service members who were killed over the weekend in Afghanistan have been notified that they won't be receiving the $100,000 benefit normally wired to relatives within 36 hours of the death. The "death gratuity" is intended to help cover funeral costs and help with immediate living expenses until survivor benefits typically begin."
As you can see, it isn't the Republicans in Congress who are inflicting pain on the American people, it's Barack Obama and the Democrats. Ideology before duty to one's country and people! That is TREASON!
What really upsets me; it the federal employees who have been willing accomplices to this, whether they be park Rangers, Federal Marshals or the DHS. Every individual who wears a badge, or is in the Military has the right to NOT obey an illegal or an immoral order and as you can see from this list, there are quite of few "immoral acts" or directives there. I am sure that most of you remember the Nuremberg Trials, where Nazi war criminals were brought to justice for their crimes against humanity. The most widely used excuse that these animals used as a defense was, "I was only following orders." Is that what these Park rangers, Police and DHS agents will say about this when asked years from now as to WHY they did what they did; "I was only following orders" ? And what about the individuals who GAVE these immoral orders or directives...will they ever face justice? We are still no closer to bringing to justice the person(s) responsible for the death of Border Patrol Agent Brian Terry, or those killed on 9/11/2012 in Benghazi.
President Obama has shown BY HIS ACTIONS the disdain and contempt he has for the citizens of this country. A president should be a leader and not be vindictive and petty, but again, Barack Hussein Obama Jr. shows us his true self by these reprehensible actions. For all you federal law enforcement officers who have aided him by putting up a barricade or forcing people off public land, we will not forget who you are.

"I was only following orders because my job was on the line" is not a viable excuse or an acceptable reason to hurt your neighbors!
