    The fascist Obama regime seems to have plenty of cash on hand to send national park police to barricade national parks and memorials and keep people out. Where the hell is this money coming from?

    To top things off, they are shutting down private businesses that are on federal land. This is outrageous and I hope the federal government gets tangled in thousands of lawsuits from angry businessmen who want compensation from this fascist regime.

    This is what tyranny looks like folks. The government picking on the little guy and putting him out of business.

    Obama ordered this and he didn't have to. These things have stayed open through other government shutdowns.

    It is undoubtedly against the law for the President to use force of arms to shut down law-abiding businesses in such an arbitrary and capricious fashion. Just another charge when we draw up the impeachment papers!!!

    Edit/Rule 2
    ONLY RIGHT-WINGERS CAN BE FASCIST!!!

    Here's the definition of “fascism” according to the American Heritage Dictionary copyrighted 1975. This is a PRESCRIPTIVE rather than a DESCRIPTIVE dictionary, meaning that it tells how words OUGHT to be used, rather than how they ARE used:

    FASCISM: “A philosophy or system of government that advocates or exercises a dictatorship of the extreme right, typically through the merging of state and business leadership, together with an ideology of belligerent nationalism.”

    How does the concept of one man controlling everything have anything to do with what conservatives want? Your whole idea that fascism is "right-wing" is completely and utterly ridiculous. I know the Communists think it has that meaning, but normal people don't. Are you admitting to being a Communist?

    Excuse me? You mean the GOP that lost the election and is now trying to hold the American system of government hostage? The GOP is trying to blackmail their way into legislation they can't pass democratically < You know...the way our government was formed and intended to function.

    So now they are doing direct and intentional harm to the government, America, and most of all American citizens because they're two years olds throwing a tantrum because they can't get their way through elections.

    Its a disgrace to the history of this great nation.

    One man controlling everything?

    You mean the GOP and tea party not being able to get what they want because they lost the elections? So now they're holding the american people hostage throwing a temper tantrum because they can't push aside the rule of law and destroy what was already ratified legally.

    You people are insane.

    One of many mistakes this incident makes apparent is the one of letting the federal government own land. I'm pretty sure never had that right initially. Now? Well, now they control large swathes of land that should belong to us the people, but instead belong to the overblown military and other federal agencies. It's yet another way they gain power over us.

    The GOP controls the House because Americans voted for them. They won fair and square, and unlike the Democrats, they don't cheat to win elections.

    What that means is that the Republicans control one half of one third of the government. If Obama and the Democrats think they can take a "my way or the highway" approach when they don't have ALL the power, well it's time they learned what's what.

    Oh you mean because the GOP and republicans lost two elections, the presidential and the senate....that the people definitely want them in power.

    No, they lost because the american people said enough of their failed policies.

    Now because the GOP can't get the votes for what they want, they are holding the entire american system of government hostage in a fascist attempt to force through their policies.

    NO. That is unamerican, its undemocratic, and its absolutely unacceptable and they will reap what they sow come the next elections.

    Remember if you total houses races last election more democratic votes were cast. They are only in power in the house over gerrymandering.

    I don't think gerrymandering determines whether or not "Democratic politician A" wins or loses his political battle in his district. All Gerrymandering does, is relocate the political sites http://www.thefreedictionary.com/gerrymander

    At the end of the day, the popular vote was split, very slightly leaning Democratic. I think it's false and misleading to say that "Republicans wouldn't have the House if they didn't gerrymander".

    Would some House seats be Democratic otherwise? Perhaps. What, maybe 5-10? That brings the Democratic total to 205-210. The Republicans would still have 225 or 220 seats in that case.

    Shutting the Vet's out is a pathetic move by this arrogant bunch. Pitiful, heartless, disrespectful behavior by a spoiled brat president.

    First if you have evidence of cheating show it.

    Second if you total all the House races in the last election more people voted for Democrats but gerrymandered districts made it impossible for Democrats to win in dozens of districts.

    Most republicans think what is going on is insane and some think it is anti=American. You of course love the fact that a few lunatics are holding the American people hostage.

    Obama is the biggest tool acting as President this country has ever seen. That's what you get when you elect a community organizer. He is shutting down monuments and parks that he has no reason to close. As a matter of fact, he is spending more in dollars and resources completing these shutdowns than if he did nothing. How could anyone EVER EVER EVER have voted for this total moron?

    You are saying that the American Heritage Dictionary is wrong and you are right?

    And the greatest irony of all this, is that you presented nothing to prove this claim. Not a single rebuttal of my statement that Gerrymandering may have had some, but not *all* of the fault to do with Democratic losses in those key House Battles.

    Perhaps if you had better political representatives in those districts, you might not have lost them. Perhaps if you didn't put a gun to every American's head over Obamacare, the Liberals would be more popular.

    Which one's the terrorists? The ones who passes a bill without a single vote from the opposition, then forces every American to comply or else? Or the ones who use the power granted to them in the Constitution to say "no".

    I believe Democrats to be the same as the Muslim Brotherhood. Ideological rather than religious fanaticism being the only difference.
