Jake a heads up. All hell is about to rise up over this. Make sure you are on the right side of it.
Whatever side JakeTheFake is on is, by definition, the WRONG side! Haven't you realized that by now?
The fact remains that Obama has thrown no tantrum, but has the numbers, the will of the people, and time on his side.
The only tantrums here are by the reactionaries of the far right.
Because it is on federal land, and the government cannot provide services for which it is liable?
Exactly.
Seriously? Do you read your posts?
And .... that's supposed to be the documentation for what you can't find?
No shit, the most honest thing you've ever done on this board is your choice of screen name.
Some things do not require documentation. Documenting you defending the government would be like documenting the fact that the sky is blue.
This was addressed early in the thread, the inn is located on a parkway that is remaining open and patrolled by the rangers, they are taking extra manpower to block the drive to the inn from the parkway. The business owner is responsible for safety in his area of responsibility. There is no rational reason for this action.
You are assuming all of that.
Please stop.
The decision regarding what is funded or not....and what stays open or closes is not made by the fucking White House.
You assholes are embarrassing.
You are assuming that everyone is as stupid as you.

Thank you. Finally you've admitted what you're doing with this rhetorical wank. You're bankrupt.
I accept your apology. Now go play on the Parkway.

No, I'm not assuming a damned thing, the Blueridge Parkway is a through road and remains open and patrolled and the inn is located on the parkway. The inn is a private business that pays franchise fees to the government based on its income, it does not receive federal funds and the budget has no bearing on their operations. And yes the executive branch does decide what is closed. I know this is a hard concept for you low information voters to understand, but that's the way it is.
Are you going to prove any of it?

You have a link to something I never said?
Pogo, did your source really debunk the story or just put another spin on it? And whose reporters have more authority do you think? TPM? Or the Milwaukee Journal?
State DNR refuses federal directive to close some popular parks
"Left out" as in "misled and then failed to clarify". Here's the wording in the article:
>> Inn owner Bruce O'Connell confirmed to The Washington Times that rangers were parked at the entrance to his inn... <<
Except it ain't his inn; it's the gummint's. What Bruce owns is the business of running the inn, for the term of his lease.
As to whether the gummint's in violation of that lease, I don't have a copy of it so I don't know what provision might be in there for gumint shutdowns, but what I read did mention that they told O'Connell he was in violation.
The first sentence in the article says "holds a concession" seems pretty foresight to me. He has been operating the inn for several years, so his inn seems normal, after all it was Bruce that said "his inn" the article simply quoted him.
My confusion is, it costs the government nothing to let it stay open and the government makes money off the lease and how much he sells. So at a time when the government can make money, it's using government money to keep it shut down. That doesn't make sense.
Actually it's not quoting him; it's a third-person reference. Which means the writer of the article chose the wording.
IOW it wasn't Bruce O'Connell who said "Inn owner Bruce O'Connell"; it was the writer/editor, about him.
