LibertyNEWS.com ? Obama?s Feds Shut Down the Parking Lot to George Washington?s Home!

october 3, 2013

George Washington’s home – Mt. Vernon, sustained a direct attack from the Obama Administration today.

The home of America’s first President is privately owned and operated by the Mt. Vernon Ladies’ Association, reports The Free Beacon.

Since the home itself isn’t run by the National Park Service, the house couldn’t be justifiably closed.

However, the parking lot area and the trails surrounding the home are technically owned by the government.

Today, the Feds decided to close the bike/walking trails and barricade the parking lot. They even turned around tour bus full of paying customers, reports The Daily Caller!

Critics of this decision say the Obama Administration is purposefully attacking treasured national parks, monuments, and memorials to deliberately inflict pain on the American public to force an end to the shutdown.

The parking lot could easily be maintained by volunteers and requires zero upkeep by the Park Service. The ownership of the trails and parking lot is a matter of paperwork – nothing more.

Why doesn't obozo shut down the MLK memorial? We all know why. Obozo is the biggest racist in america, excepting eric holder of course.

 

[skye]

I think that the shutdown is giving this President the opportunity to be himself. Not having to hide his anti-American sentiment.

It must be so liberating for him.

If this continues on its going to be much worse that George Washington parking lot.

BTW: I love that home and walking through time, I hope it opens soon so others can enjoy it.

Do they have a "George Whipping His Slave" exhibit? Or do we just do the Sanitized Disney version of history?

Anyway, not seeing a problem here. You cut off government, it means government isn't providing services. Like a National Park system.

Sanitized Disney History... like Democrats not being the Party of Jim Crow?

Both parties were perfectly fine with Jim Crow...

From what I understand the home is privately owned and not operated by the National Park Service. The administration is just shutting down the roads and trails surrounding it because the home is privately owned. While I may disagree with the Republican's tactics regarding this shutdown, it's obvious that what the Obama administration is doing is attempting to inflict as much pain as possible on people so that the GOP receives a greater backlash. There is no excuse for shutting down trails surrounding a privately owned home, or barricading an outside WW2 memorial.

Michelle asked the very sensible question, too?

I'm not sure what your point is, here. This country was founded by slave-owners who talked about "Freedom" and "All Men are Created Equal" and then went home to big mansions like Monticello and Mount Vernon which were supported by the labor of slaves.

I call this the "Founding Retardation", really.

You can call it that, but it really doesn't mean much of anything.

We were founded by a bunch of rich guys who wanted to maintain privilages.

Had the revolution failed, we'd have ended slavery in 1830 without a shot being fired. (That's when the British Empire outlawed it.)

Of course you don't see a "problem" Komrade.

 

[Antares]

Let me help you Joe.....

"Henry Morgenthau Jr."


He was FDR's right hand man...what did he have to say about the Ketnesian shit you advocate????

"We have tried spending money. We are spending more than we have ever spent before and it does not work. And I have just one interest, and if I am wrong … somebody else can have my job. I want to see this country prosperous. I want to see people get a job. I want to see people get enough to eat. We have never made good on our promises. … I say after eight years of this Administration we have just as much unemployment as when we started. … And an enormous debt to boot."[12

It didn't work Komrade....

Makes one wonder if the best way to get the Federal Government to do it's job, enforcing all of the existing Law that it ignores, is by defunding it. Let's start by de-funding Immigration and Naturalization, just to see what they do.

He did shut down the MLK memorial.

Mall landmarks barricaded, closed to visitors as shutdown gets underway - Washington Post

A spokeswoman for the National Park Service said that all the memorials on the Mall — including the Franklin D. Roosevelt and Martin Luther King Jr. memorials, as well as the Washington Monument — would be blocked over the course of the morning.

The parking lots were closed, not Mt Vernon itself. According to National Park Service Blocks Parking Lots at George Washington?s Mt. Vernon Estate ? Removes Barricades After Estate Officials Point Out ?Mistake? | TheBlaze.com they have already been reopened.

Mount Vernon officials approached the NPS, which removed the barricades “as soon as they realized their mistake,” Wood says, adding that the Park Service maintains the parking lots, but Mount Vernon owns the property.

Exept that mt Vernon is not a national park .
