Ordering and causing are two different things in this instance.
To understand why they closed the parks read this article
National Parks Close As Other Public Lands Stay Open : NPR
Now take into consideration the circumstances of how our government shutdown and maybe you'll see why the administration is not nearly at fault as when compared to congressional republicans.
I guess you failed to read the thread, dunno
Obama and the idiots are spending more money to close open exhibits that is spent when they are open. Has nothing to do with the shutdown.
Those are parks, not statues in DC where no one stationed before the shutdown. This is on the stupid ass democrats whining because they are not getting their way.
The federal shutdown by the Republicans includes shutting down federal exhibits, like Mt. Rushmore. They're considered nonessential for the govt to continue running, which makes sense. But I'm sure Cruz knew that and approved, since he was the Pied Piper. I'm not suggesting Cruz wasn't fully aware of what he was doing. That would not be nice...to say he didn't know what the heck he was doing. I'm a little more concerned about children with cancer not getting treatments, though, and the fact that medical research is shut down. A lot of people, incl those who handle the outdoor exhibits, are not going to get paychecks. It's a sad situation. I'm sure Cruz is refusing to take pay, since this was his plan, though. He has money, so he can easily do without a few paychecks, so I'm sure he's declining pay or contributing it to charity.
That's because the National Park Service runs the Monuments. Can you imagine the sheer volume of people moving through there everyday? Now imagine maintaining and supervising these when practically all of your staff has been furloughed.
I was there before the shutdown after dark and did not see or speak to one park employee. You can't defend this except too say you support whining democrats in DC.
Well unless you were quite honestly out looking for employees I don't see this as a very credible argument. Not even considering the fact you have no proof besides your own words.
Anyone that has been there know there are not 30 parking rangers standing around when it is open. Not my fault you choose not to know about things in your own country.
Anyone? Do you know how many park rangers are present at any given time at the national monuments? I'd assume not, just like how you are assuming at this very instant. You chastise me for not knowing something about my country, but you just make blind assumptions about it and believe it to be fact.
Classification as of 2003 Number Area Visitors
National Memorial 29 10,588.45 acres (43 km2) 30,559258
National Monument 78 2,027,864.58 acres (8,206 km2) 22,646,428
National Park 59 52,095,045.71 acres (210,821 km2) 62,950,968
Here are a few samples of national park lands and their traffic during the period of a year in 2003. The Lincoln memorial itself is evem the 9th most trafficked unit of park land.
The nation’s capital has managed to spare itself many of the supposed troubles of the partial government shutdown.
More than 661 Park Service police, a fifth of the 3,266 employees nationwide deemed essential, are currently on duty in Washington, D.C. alone, according to a copy of the shutdown contingency plan leaked to The Daily Caller.
The preponderance of D.C.-based park police makes some sense given that the capital had a large share of taxpayer-funded sites long before the government spending gap. But the figure raises the question of why that number is not sufficient to maintain access to open-air exhibits and monuments, many of which previously had no guards.

Way to copy/paste.
In the past 2 weeks we have seen a man light himself on fire on the National Mall and A women attempted to assault the White house and then presumably make her way to the capitol building. I do not believe it is a strech of any reasonable person's imagination that there is most definitely a potential threat to our national monuments. Also how fair is it for the National Park Service to maintain some lands and not others?
You did not read the post, there are normally no guards at the outside exhibits in DC which was the point of the thread. There is no defense for the sniveling ass in the white house.
Do you think there's a slight chance that Obama may uphold the oath of office he took and enforce our nations laws and order ICE agents to arrest and deport every illegal alien on the Capital Mall ? :2rofll:
I'd love to see that happen!
I'd love to see that happen!
There's suppose to be a big pro illegal alien rally planed for on the Capital Mall this Tuesday. Future Democrat voters demanding amnesty, citizenship and free stuff.
I wonder how Obama is going to react ? :thinking Veterans barred from the WW ll memorial, Veterans barred from the Iwo Jima flag raising war memorial. Vietnam vets barred from the "Wall."
Will Obama order the Park Police to ban the illegal aliens and their socialist activist supporters from gathering on the Mall ?

So would I.
If this administration were to uphold the Constitution, guess who would be voting the Democratic ticket ?
But that would cause the fringe of the radical left to flee from the Democrat tent and go looking for another political party tent to crawl under.
The hypocrisy of the blind Obama haters never ceases to amaze me.

How many here have been to DC? I have. There is no legitimate reason to block off the various outdoor exhibits other than Obama and company choose to act like children. Same with Mt. Rushmore. They are spending more money just to be assholes.
