This cannot be legal. Not that “Rule of Law” ever bothered Obama & ilk before …
It appears that private property rights are the latest casualty in the shutdown started by Sen. Harry Reid’s “my way or the highway” stand on Obamacare funding. Some 60 families have been kicked out of their privately-owned homes on Lake Mead by National Parks Service personnel as a result of the partial government shutdown, Newsmax reported Sunday.
“They are all vacation homes and everybody who lives in them are considered visitors,” said Lake Mead Recreational Area spokeswoman Christie Vanover.
“If anybody needs to gather their personal belongings, we’re not going to deny them access. They can go do that. They just can’t spend the nights there or have barbecues during the day,” she added. They need to get in and get out.”
“Unfortunately overnight stays are not permitted until a budget is passed and the park can reopen,” the NPS told KTNV.
Among those forced out of their homes by the Park Service was an elderly couple who has owned a home on the lake since the 1970s.
Ralph and Joyce Spencer was forced to leave their home so fast they forgot a number of essential items, like Ralph’s pants.
The problem, KTNV said, is that the private home owned by the Spencers is on federal land.
In the meantime, the elderly couple is spending most of their time in the family ice cream store and is staying with nearby family members. Still, Joyce said, the move was a lot for the seniors to handle.
One homeowner told the Las Vegas Review-Journal he was never forced out of his home when the government shut down during the Clinton administration.

i want to know where the executive branch found monies to do their shut down. is it a spending item somewhere on an appropriation bill? did the last cr have this money?
a direct confrontation at this point could make baracky a lame duck before 2014 elections.
They’re using the monies “saved” by not bombing Syria, silly.

Amber Alert website is now off-line, too.
orangemen should tell baracky in no uncertain terms any stoppage of payment of us debt is a default of the baracky presidency not the us gov’t. they are not one and the same.
It’s time for Tessio to make his move on the Don.
Spendings, wise and foolish.
There is no such thing as private property. I know it’s a hard lesson to learn, but here we are.
I’d have to say that the Amber Alert thing is way better in theory than reality.
Making my weather radio go off in the middle of the night during storm season when you (usually) get is a crappy verbal description of the kid is not only annoying, it’s totally useless.
What, I’m supposed to go out on the streets looking for this kid at 3 AM? Call the cops for every (e.g.) 6 year old girl with brown hair I see?
Putting it on TV makes sense (especially IF THERE”S A PICTURE). Making people’s emergency radios go off for a useless description doesn’t.
Sorry, sore subject there. I don’t want my emergency radio to go off unless a) there’s a tornado bearing down on me or b) Canada has started bombing us or whatever.
It’s like the guy is strategizing on ways to push my disdain for him over the line into hatred.
I can’t fathom how anyone can look at what’s going on with this administration and really want these folks in charge of health care.
2017 and President Rodham-Clinton to the nation:
We’re going to need to bail out Fannie and Freddie again. Yes, I know we only re-started those programs….. Yes, I’ve asked my Attorney General to investigate, the multitude of cronies currently staffing these programs…… Look, either we bail them out or granny doesn’t get her meds, savvy?
He just has to make sure that the media all say its the Tea Party’s fault. He has never been held to blame for anything yet so he’s all “What, Me Worry?”
Obama’s Shutdown Campaign

Echoing an old Communist Party tactic.
Not saying this is incorrect, but I would want to see more before I went full capslock.
The Spencers have a residence in Overton, or had one. If this is just a cottage that they’ve leased or some such, I would not tend to be as upset. But again: details are important.
Nothing quite sells the benevolence of a “planned” top-down government controlled sole-source healthcare system like a contemporary demonstration of an arbitrarily punitive administration of a temporary cessation of non-essential government services, with a solicitous administration seeking to inflict widespread pain at higher cost to government than a mere brief withdrawal would do.
My, my, that’s an alarming, urgent, attention demanding cancerous mass you’ve got there; it would be a pity if no-one were to do anything about it.
There was a time when a president would not have dared to do the things our current president is doing, because impeachment would have been the least of his worries.
Which bring me to a larger point, which is that we have now officially descended into tyranny. People can prattle on about the various indignities the president is inflicting on the public, but, everyone is ignoring herd of elephant in the room; that the president should not have the power to do such things. And the government officials “carrying out orders” should fucking well know better than to carry out such orders.
Yeah, I’m speaking to you, Michelle Malkin. You’ve got a significant voice, Ms. Malkin, yet, you’re going on about a few fucking cones on a road, rather than admitting the obvious.
Tyranny or Anarchy, Outlaws? I know which way I’m headed.
Senator Mike Lee says. “He’s not a dictator, he’s not a despot — he does have to deal with Congress,” the Utah Republican said on Fox News on Monday morning.

This is how you treat subjects, not citizens. That’s what is so disturbing – he’s intentionally making life more difficult for “the forgotten man” in order to win the budget battle. This is not the behavior of a president. But he’s never behaved as if he was president of all Americans, only the ones who voted for him.
**Just wanted to note that amidst all of the petty, symbolic shutdowns, the Obama admin found $445 million to give the Corporation for Public Broadcasting after the shutdown had begun.
They lease the land but own the structure. The important detail is that there is no government service required for them to reside in their home. The only thing they need is to not be evicted. But the Spite House has decided to close the fucking land, much as they’ve decided to close the ocean.
God help us when they decide we can’t use the air.
[…] New low from the Spite House: Private homeowners thrown out of homes on Lake Mead [Darleen Click] […]
FTFY.
Let me see: I’ll have to research whether the Feds can evict without due process. Nope, couldn’t find it in obamacare. Or anywhere else.
Don’t worry. It’s just a tax.
There is, however, a government need for them to be evicted. Said need is calling attention to the lousy obstructionist subhuman bastards in the House.
