Obama forced a park to shut down… that receives no federal funding. Plus, he even sent armed agents to shut it down with brute force. Why? To make the shutdown seem worse than it had to be for political points. Insanity. That’s all it is. From the Washington Free Beacon, courtesy of WZ: The National Park Service has ordered the closure of a Virginia park that sits on federal land, even though the government provides no resources for its maintenance or operation. The Claude Moore Colonial Farm announced on Wednesday that NPS has ordered it to suspend operations until Congress agrees to a deal to fund the federal government. According to Anna Eberly, managing director of the farm, NPS sent law enforcement agents to the park on Tuesday evening to remove staff and volunteers from the property. “You do have to wonder about the wisdom of an organization that would use staff they don’t have the money to pay to evict visitors from a park site that operates without costing them any money,” she said. The park withstood prior government shutdowns, noting in a news release that the farm will be closed to the public for the first time in 40 years. “In previous budget dramas, the Farm has always been exempted since the NPS provides no staff or resources to operate the Farm,” Eberly explained in an emailed statement. “In all the years I have worked with the National Park Service … I have never worked with a more arrogant, arbitrary and vindictive group representing the NPS,” Eberly said. Look at that last paragraph again. It really is that bad. Our politicians have lost their minds — they are motivated only by power. How much longer do we take it? How much longer until the people stand up? Spread this around. Let people know what’s actually happening. The media will NOT do their job. So let’s do it for them.
