First of all the author of the OP is an hysterical right wing hack and likely has never been to Yellowstone.

Yellowstone is a wilderness area and home to predators including Grizzly Bear and Wolf. Our last trip to YNP occurred on a few weeks after a Grizzly killed a tourist (Aug. 2012) who got too close to get a good picture.

The park rules require visitors to stay at least 50 yards away from Bison, Elk and other animals and no closer than 100 yards to Bear and Wolf.

Anyone with a brain understands three things: National Parks can be dangerous, especially to the uninformed and stupid - both can and are eaten; the GOP planned for the Gov't shutdown and even campaigned on carrying out this foolishness; and, Speaker Boehner has the sole power to call for an up or down vote on the CR.

If the CR passes, people go back to work and small business won't continue to suffer, if it fails to pass the leverage passes from the D's to the R's.

Oh fuck off that you don't like the source Mr. High and Mighty.

It's in newspapers. And your defense of these tactics is pathetic.

Here's another source sparky. Hope this meets with your approval.

Hodgson said the group was scheduled to spend two nights at the Inn. When they got up on Tuesday morning, they headed out to see Yellowstone for the day, planning to return to the Inn for their second night’s stay later in the day. Hodgson said they headed north out of Old Faithful and pulled over to let passengers out to take photos of bison.

Hodgson said in a phone interview Tuesday that a ranger pulled up behind the bus and told him he would have to get everyone back on the bus — recreation in Yellowstone was not allowed.

“She told me you need to return to your hotel and stay there,” Hodgson said. “This is just Gestapo tactics. We paid a lot to get in. All these people wanted to do was take some pictures.”

'Gestapo' tactics meet senior citizens at Yellowstone


Pat Vaillancourt went on a trip last week that was intended to showcase some of America’s greatest treasures.

Instead, the Salisbury resident said she and others on her tour bus witnessed an ugly spectacle that made her embarrassed, angry and heartbroken for her country.

Vaillancourt was one of thousands of people who found themselves in a national park as the federal government shutdown went into effect on Oct. 1. For many hours her tour group, which included senior citizen visitors from Japan, Australia, Canada and the United States, were locked in a Yellowstone National Park hotel under armed guard.

The tourists were treated harshly by armed park employees, she said, so much so that some of the foreign tourists with limited English skills thought they were under arrest.

When finally allowed to leave, the bus was not allowed to halt at all along the 2.5-hour trip out of the park, not even to stop at private bathrooms that were open along the route.

Rangers systematically sent visitors out of the park, though some groups that had hotel reservations — such as Vaillancourt’s — were allowed to stay for two days. Those two days started out on a sour note, she said.

The bus stopped along a road when a large herd of bison passed nearby, and seniors filed out to take photos. Almost immediately, an armed ranger came by and ordered them to get back in, saying they couldn’t “recreate.” The tour guide, who had paid a $300 fee the day before to bring the group into the park, argued that the seniors weren’t “recreating,” just taking photos.

“She responded and said, ‘Sir, you are recreating,’ and her tone became very aggressive,” Vaillancourt said...

You're repeating yourself and posting as true an event reported by one person and repeated in a rather obscure newspaper. Is the tour operator credible, maybe his/her loss of income (i.e. tips) pissed him/her off.

Using the term "Gestapo" is hyperbole as anyone who has read history or seen footage of the real Gestapo know, and is a pejorative used by contemporary right wingers as a talking point. I'm surprised the tour operator didn't call the Rangers "commies".

Park rangers have a duty to 1) protect park visitors; 2) protect the park; and 3) enforce the rules. Anyone who has ever been charged with enforcing rules to a diverse demographic knows this can be difficult, and rule number one is don't equivocate - be clear, firm and specific.

Your name calling just shows that you are below average in vocabulary skills. Don't worry about it. Many people lack these skills.

 

[boedicca]

Gestapo is a perfect term for what the Obama Thugs are doing.

Our government is holding law-abiding Americans hostage by putting up Barrycades and assigning staff to prevent them from doing perfectly legal activities on public and private lands.

It's horrifying to anyone with a sense of morality and an ability to think rationally.

What is going on now is hardly Smaller Government.

Just sayin'.

 

[Steven_R]

So, if we want a smaller government, we get a temper tantrum and heavy handed police state tactics until we give in?

Yet, you're calling the Tea Party terrorists and hostage takers.

Why insult Barney?

 

[Wry Catcher]

"Park spokesman Al Nash said that when the park is closed, it’s closed to all recreational use. Park staff have been pared down to those involved in the most basic life, health and safety issues.

"“We don’t have staff on duty to deal with any ordinary operational issues,” Nash said Wednesday."

So the tour operator and tinybrain believe park rangers should ignore the rules and disobey The Congress which has put most of the park staff off of work; and, in doing so allow a tour operator to put tourists at risk. What part of 'Grizzly Bear' and super heated water does tinybrain not understand?

Oh? What would you call it? Same government? More government?

I love it when the strict constitutionalist, federal government minimalists start screaming bloody murder when they get a taste of what they wish for in the first place.

Fascism? Are you really that fucking retarded?
