Scott Walker refuses federal order to close state parks By SEAN HIGGINS \| OCTOBER 4, 2013 AT 4:07 PM Topics: Beltway Confidential Wisconsin Scott Walker Government shutdown Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker has officially rebuffed a request from National Park Service to close... Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker has officially rebuffed a request from National Park Service to close several state park sites. In rejecting the order, Walker explained that the Badger State, not the feds, provides the majority of the parks' funding so there is no need for a closure. The feds ordered Wisconsin officials to close the northern unit of the Kettle Moraine, Devil's Lake, and Interstate state parks and the state-owned portion of the Horicon Marsh, the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel reported. The state Department of Natural Resources not only ignored the orders but also removed a barricade federal officials had put before a Mississippi boat launch. The DNR officials said their counterparts at the National Park Service could not close the launch because the state had the authority to operate it under a 1961 agreement with the federal government.

"We respect the magnitude of the process the federal government has had to undertake to close its properties and certain activities on properties they own and manage," Wisconsin DNR Secretary Cathy Stepp told department employees, according to the Hill. "However, after close review and legal consult, DNR has clarified areas where the federal procedures are over-reaching by ordering the closure of properties where the state has management authority through existing agreements," Step said.

Saudis: “We Are Learning from Our Enemies How to Treat the United States.” October 5, 2013 By Daniel Greenfield The Saudis were hardly our friends to begin with, but the message that Obama’s pathetic diplomacy has sent is that he’ll like you more if you kick him in the face. The Russians and Iranians demonstrated that for all the world to see. The prominent Middle East historian Bernard Lewis applied Groucho’s famous line (“I wouldn’t want to be a member of any club that would have me as a member”) to misguided foreign policy, saying, “A principle of Western foreign policies is that we do not worry about the friendship of any government that would seek our friendship. It’s only our enemies in whom we are interested.” That’s really the liberal foreign policy and under Barack Hussein Carter, it’s our only foreign policy. Screw our allies. Beg our enemies to be our friends. And the only outcome of that is that everyone learns that the best diplomatic outreach to the United States is enmity. Saudis now feel that the Obama administration is disregarding Saudi concerns over Iran and Syria, and will respond accordingly in ignoring “U.S. interests, U.S. wishes, U.S. issues” in Syria, said Mustafa Alani, a veteran Saudi security analyst with the Geneva-based Gulf Research Center. “They are going to be upset—we can live with that,” Mr. Alani said Sunday of the Obama administration. “We are learning from our enemies now how to treat the United States.” If the Saudis start openly acting like our enemies, instead of covertly, that could be an unintended positive outcome of Obama’s disastrous foreign policy. frontpagemag.com
