On September 11th 2001, America’s big bloated money-no-object bureaucracy and its obsolete brain-dead 1970s hijacking procedures utterly failed the citizens of this country. Nevertheless, on Flight 93 brave freeborn citizens acted as an ad hoc militia and did the job their government had proved incapable of doing.

"What kind of fellow - even a federal bureaucrat – is such a dead husk of a human being that he complies with the order to “close” the mass grave of better men than he will ever be?"

Methinks the good Mr. Steyn is onto something...

Well, there IS one federal bureaucrat, who IS such a dead husk of a human being to issue the order in the first place.

took a run to see if Rangers or Police were at the Flight #93 site...sad to report...YES there was a Parks Ranger at the entrance off Lincoln HWY.

that area has been declared Federal Parks Lands..

there was one other car there..otherwise no one but the Ranger...
notices signs in people yards ‘obama sucks’ but we all know that already...

ok..just wanted to let folks know about this depressed area of Somerset County, PA.

Thank you for writing such an accurate picture of the sadistic bureaucratic class. I have started and owned a number of businesses over the years.

Everyone in business has horror stories of sadistic bureaucrats causing needless misery.

I am absolutely certain that a majority of bureaucrats at all levels of government could be easily pushed to act no less evil than the Nazi guards at the concentration camps.

I believe sadistic humans naturally gravitate to become a bureaucrat -- allows them to torture fellow humans under the color of law.

thanks for the update. It is sad that we have no Warrior governors who would take the lead and have the local Sheriffs arrest these sadistic NPS Nazis.

I hope the next Conservative running for President states a promise to close the NPS and terminate all employees who participated in these sadistic closings.
