“We’ve been told to make life as difficult for people as we can,” an unnamed park ranger told the Washington Times. “It’s disgusting.”

National Park Service officials cited the government shutdown as the reason for ordering an elderly Nevada couple out of their home, which sits on federal land.
“Unfortunately overnight stays are not permitted until a budget is passed and the park can reopen,” an NPS spokesman explained to KTNV.
Ralph and Joyce Spencer, aged 80 and 77, respectively, own their home, but the government owns the land on which it sits.
“I had to be sure and get his walker and his scooter that he has to go in,” Joyce Spencer told the local news outlet. “We’re not hurt in any way except it might cost me if I have to go buy more pants.”
Similarly, the NPS forced privately-operated inns on the Blue Ridge Parkway to close during the shut down.
“We’ve been told to make life as difficult for people as we can,” an unnamed park ranger told the Washington Times. “It’s disgusting.”
That ranger wasn’t referring to the Spencers or the Blue Ridge Parkway, though, but rather the NPS’s attempt to close Mt. Vernon — which the federal government does not own.
Mt. Vernon media director Melissa Wood told the Blaze that there had been “a misunderstanding over the ownership of the spaces.”
And sadly this is nothing knew. President Obama, his administration and their minions in Congress have been doing this from day one. Whether it is banning children from touring the White House, even when private parties offered to pay to keep the tours open, to harassing average citizens, to targeting Tea Party Groups, Christian Organizations and any patriots who speak out against administration policies with IRS audits, holding up their tax status applications to harm their fundraising abilities or just calling them names and accusing them of untruths… like Harry Reid calling Ted Cruz, Mike Lee and other Republicans in both house of Congress Anarchists and much worse in an attempt to blame Democrat and administration failings on the GOP. It is the Alinsky way!
If you are not familiar with Saul Alinsky and his famous book in Progressive circles, Rules for Radicals (Kindle), do yourself an favor and read it.
