A federal Park Service Ranger admitted being ordered to make life as difficult as possible in order to make Americans feel the most pain as a result of the partial government shutdown brought about by Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid's refusal to work with Republicans on a plan to fund the government while not funding or delaying parts of Obamacare, the Washington Times reported Thursday.

“We’ve been told to make life as difficult for people as we can," an angry Park Ranger told the Times. "It’s disgusting.”

According to the Times, the Park Service has been shutting down streets "on mere whim and caprice."

Rangers closed the parking lot at Mount Vernon, the plantation home of George Washington, even though the park is privately owned by the Mount Vernon Ladies' Association.

We say when they are open and when they are closed.”

Comment by James μολὼν λαβέ on October 7, 2013 at 10:50am: Boats roll on Strip to protest Lake Mead closure

Tourists stared and pointed, phones were fished out of pockets and purses and drivers laid on their horns as several dozen boats rolled along the Strip early Sunday evening.

The boats were hitched to trucks and cars and towed up and down Las Vegas Boulevard between 6 p.m. and 7 p.m. in protest.

“We’re upset with the (government) shutdown,” Boulder Boats owner and rally organizer Stuart Litjens said. “We want to be on (Lake Mead) with our families. We would be out at the lake, but now we had to figure out alternate plans.”
