Maggie I usually like you but you got this one wrong. The rangers should also have a brain.
"I usually like you"
What a lame comment. I think that means that you usually like her posts. As for the substance, I agree with Maggie. I blame the people giving the orders to make visiting unmanned national parks as difficult as possible. Put up your stupid sign telling everyone it's closed and then go back on furlough.
I hope no one ever tells me to my face that they "usually like me". They won't after that.
Republicans are trying to get all that funded but democrats have no interest unless they get Obamacare funded.....
Why the fault of congress? Congress did its job and passed a continuing resolution the democrats and reid won't sent it to the loser in chief - why do you defend the left so much and blame only one party?
The congressman would be wrong in attacking the security guard - on that I agree with you.
Nice of you to leave the loser in charge free and clear -you shine thru with your politics don't kid yourself lefty.
The Republicans have tried to negotiate and harry reid won't even send negotiatiors; your dictator in charge will talk to a nation that stones to death gay people but not house Republicans. Since I don't believe you are too naive to buy into the left wing media hyperbole I can only believe you are just another left wing political hack.
Let me rephrase that for you to reflect reality:
Republicans are trying to get all that funded with the 1-year delay on the ACA insisted upon by a subset of the Republicans in the House.
Democrats would be willing to get all that funded with no modification to the ACA.
Neither side is willing to compromise, and this will not end until either someone compromises or gives in.
Blaming Obama is forbidden. That would be raaaaaacist.
Actually, the park service has to go out of their way to close some of these parks which are un-manned to begin with. While the Park Service falls under the Department of the Interior, run by Obama appointee Sally Jewell. So if there's anyone to blame it's the DoI for following the President's political move of shutting down un-manned parks.
Yep... and the NAZI soldiers at Auschwitz were "just doing their job" too.
The fact of the matter is that what that bitch was doing was wrong.
Exactly democrats are unwilling to compromise yet prortray themselves as transparent compromisers....
She was dead wrong. You don't disrespect veterans especially WW2 veterans.
Tell us again why the monuments had to be 'shut down' and have their access blocked. there is no requirement for staffing and the park department and police are still on the job. So...other than this being just another petty stunt from a petty pathetic excuse of a president...why again were the monuments shut down?
Ever BEEN to those monuments?
the park service is following legal advice to make reasonable efforts to shut out those who would ignore the park closing
but then i understand the term 'reasonable' is something not understood by many of the reich wing

Actually, Reid has been very clear about the fact that the Democrats would be willing to discuss compromise -- just not while the whole of the discretionary budget is held hostage.
how smart is it for a federal employee to violate a direct order to exclude specific persons from the memorial?
“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.”
Almost correct. In this context "reasonable" is one of those wiggle words lawyers use when they believe later they might have to defend their advice in court. The park service should have covered their asses and asked for very specific guidance.
The best course in hindsight would have been to put up barricades with signage saying park closed by order of your federal government. Then step away. Anyone enters, liability is on them.

the park service sought and received legal opinions about the need to secure the federal parks. they followed that advise
now, show us your legal credentials, and then expound about why the park service's actions are legally unsound. without providing the first, i must ignore the last
Derpends, are they getting paid? Because otherwise the answer is, "Sorry Director, we're on furlough and liability is not covered by the job right now".
they are reporting as directed. if deemed 'essential' they are also being paid
those who are not directed to report for duty and still work in their federal capacity are subject to a $5000 fine and potential termination of their position
Nonsense. There are no hostages, no guns, only Democrats refusing to talk. And, by the way, the House is offering to fund the rest of the government... But, again, the Democrats will not play unless they get their way.
Stop drinking the Kool aid...
