There are more 'security' people being assigned to block people from parks and memorials than are assigned when the government is open. Some locations are getting security where there has never been a park person assigned.
Anyone want to guess the chances of the national mall being allowed to be open for a tea party event?
Of course. The entire purpose of all of this, is to use government resources to benefit the Democrat Party.
Actually, the point was to block all access to government resources to benefit the Republican Party, remember? The entire idea was that it would be awful and painful, and would make people mad at Obama. Which is why it's so bizarre that the GOP led house is trying to reopen anything that's bad for optics - it's like they're just galumphing around with no clue what they're doing.
I'm quite sure a bunch of smiling, loving, hand holding conservatives could just as easily use the mall to protest something worthwhile like, gays perhaps.
It's a big, big friggin park. It's not really shut down.
Uh; the ONLY thing illegal aliens deserve to get in the US is 3 hots and a cot before they're deported with a 10 year ban on coming back, even with papers.
go monkey and toss poop at the men who saved the world from Hitler
have a love-in with the rable rousers communist who want America to toss open its doors to any illegal out there.
The government is shutdown, the borders are wide open.
What did the Republicans think would happen when they shut down the government?
Yet...

^This is something Republicans did?
I'm thinking not, wouldn't this need to come from higher? Such as someone in the Obama administration?

Acadia fits your description of a big park and the feds closed it down.
See the photos of previous government shutdowns with people still visiting the monuments sans barricades. Obama is firing for effect at the American people.
This is a disgrace to let this rally take place and subjectively lock vets out of cemeterys and close down open air monuments. Never been done before under previous government shutdowns.
Obama hates America, Michelle wants to re-write our history and the shut down proves it.
