It seems that among the "essential" employees of the Federal Government are National Parks construction workers using heavy equipment to place more stable "Barrycades" to stop 90 year old men from visiting an open air bronze and concrete memorial.


Would that be the only type of people to visit that memorial? How about a group of teenagers that belong to a gang? Coming with spray paint, chisels, hammers, and other assortment of destructive devices? And in the morning, the memorial is absolutely desecrated? Graffiti all over, the bronze working chipped and scarred? The pavement cracked and overturned? Basically they when 'barbaric' over the whole thing?

Will conservatives come forward, offering money for its repairs and without a blame on their lips towards Democrats? What do you think? Of course not! It'll be on all the conservative sites the next morning, blaming the President and Democrats for not posting armed squads of US Rangers at each location across the nation. They will spin the issue so completely out of sanity and never take an ounce of responsibility or accountability for the whole thing.

Oh yeah, that's what got us in this mess in the first place.....

The Mall is guarded and protected by armed police officers at all times, shut down or not.

The Lincoln Memorial is open 24/7, people go there at all hours of the night with usually an armed police officer within earshot an no one else. The BARRY-cades and mesh fencing are an unnecessary and granstanding move by the administration

Because they sound silly calling themselves a gaggle, or baboons**?



**Note: This is a joke. This is not true (Politifact link), and was not intended to demean baboons. It was, however, funny.

So, city police are on the job still. But wait, when does that run out, they are under congressional budgets.

And The Teabags and Obstructionist fencing are a symbol for America today, like the Eagle and the Flag. I pretty much guess that the teabaggers have to disingenuously howl about this as they slash the fuck out of the VA and veterans and have a long history of it. Maybe they can send them to the National Azalea collection, which they gladly funded.

The entire District is a Federal enclave. Soon they might have to erect "barrycades" to stop all unlawful trespass on federal streets.

Status: offline 		Last I checked the President didn't demand the government to be shutdown; that was the Republican/Tea Party. So perhaps FatDomDaddy your title to the thread should be renamed "Conservative Barricades", or 'Elephantades", or "Tea-cades". They KNEW the bills they sent would never be approved. And yet they sent the bills forward. They are the ones that created the problem, and most conservatives cant seem to understand this basic fact of reality.

Would Republican/Tea Partiers sign off on a bill that would avoid a government shutdown but at the same time the 2nd amendment were to be revoked? You and all the other conservatives in the nation have to say 'yes', otherwise your argument is full of crap!

You're certainly not speaking for me, my father, or my man's father, a 93 year old World War 2 vet. We all voted for Obama twice. I wish I had time to find stats for how many vets voted for Obama in 2012. I do see McCain won veterans by only 10 points in 2008.

oh if you bring up starving babies or cancer ridden kids, or pregnant moms going hungry thanks to WIC being stopped or 6 million cut off SNAP, you get accused of playing on the emotions.

The House passed several measures to address your so called "starving babies" but the Senate refuses to vote on them.

What a petty, bitter, vicious little man, our President is showing himself to be with these actions.

Catch his self-righteous comments in the WP, about how he has "restrained his rhetoric" about Republicans?

I cannot help but wonder if he'd be stupid/arrogant enough to try and take some sort of executive action on a budget in direct violation of his Constitutional authority, and we could send him off to Hawaii in disgrace a few years ahead of schedule?

Those guards are Park Police they are not considered essential, or at least they were not in the 80's when I was stationed in DC.

Well, thank God for the safety of the entire Free World, that Michelle Bachman, Rand Paul, Steve King and Ted Cruz just 'happened' to be holding a VFW (Congressional Chapter) meeting there and were able to wrestle the jackbooted thugs to the ground and vaporize the locks on the 20 foot tall razor wire barricades.

Thats what they do when teabaggers shut down the national parks, its like 17 years ago, all over again. Your spelling is atrocious. It is barricade, and essential.


Fat fingers on a smart phone without spell check. I will attempt to fix essential for you...

But.... the other...they will be going down in history as "Barrycades"

The United States Park Police are not "guards". They are however a fully accredited Police Department with a command structure, detectives and specialized units. They are absolutely essential and they patrol the National Mall 24/7/365.

Even in a murderous city like Washington DC, the Mall has not had Barry-cades and mesh fencing surrounding it and the monuments, not even during WWII when most of it was taken up with temporary buildings. As mentioned earlier, the Lincoln Memorial in particular is a beacon for lost and reflective souls who come at all hours without incident. So why is it now covered with fences???

Because the People must be reminded that Government is the single most important part of their lives, of course... I guess it must be what the President means when he talks about "teachable moments."

Not to mention closing Ford's Theatre (just about to launch "The Laramie Project") which is a non-profit organization run by a private board, but whose building is a historic site!

http://behindtheblack.com/behind-the-black/essays-and-commentaries/shut-down-fascism-in-the-smoky-mountains

Tunring people away from the gates of national parks might be a high-visibility outcome of the not-really-a-shutdown, but it's not much of a demonstration of how much we need our vast government bureaucracies. When Arizona went through its own budget crunch in 2010 and closed 13 parks, a private company, Recreation Resource Management, offered to take over the seven largest of the parks and pay the state for the privilege. The company said it would even consider taking over some of the smaller money-losers as part of the package.....

If you find other places that should be open (since it would cost nothing to keep it open.. )send me a link
