A facility being public doesn't mean you can trespass there when it's closed. Go to your local military base and try roaming the grounds and see what happens.
Quite an unbiased little article you got there, from the Washington Times.
LOL that's journalism?
You mushy headed low-information invisible man worshipping magic believing creationists need to get it through your heads. Shut down means shut down. It doesn't matter if there's a freaking "Lady's Association" in a park. The park is closed. Closed. Understand?
And you limp-wristed bed-wetters would go nuts if they closed down the food stamp program.
I'm going to keep posting this article until you idiots get it. It's illegal to keep these parks open without funding. It doesn't matter if you "feel" that is "wrong", it's the law.
Are you serious? We're not talking about Yellowstone, which requires park rangers and security, etc. We're talking about open-air memorials, paid for with taxpayer money, that require nothing except perhaps a security guard/local police to monitor it every once in a while to make sure no one vandalizes it. The government is actually spending more money to keep people out than it costs normally. I can see all those lawyer staffers going through the law books to come up with something to justify their antics, but I don't buy it.

If you are referring to Mount Vernon, then it's you who doesn't understand. Mount Vernon Estate is privately owned by the Mount Vernon Ladies' Association. It receives no funding from the US government. The US government has no authority to close it or to interfere with it in any manner.
Classic liberal method. Attack with no facts--just name-calling and pettiness. It's why I left the Democratic party. They fancied themselves smarter and above anyone who wasn't a part of their clique.
