SERIOUSLY? National Park Service spitefully removes handles from water fountains

By Marshall Connolly, Catholic Online (NEWS CONSORTIUM) 10/8/2013

LOS ANGELES, CA (Catholic Online) - Until very recently, the National Park Service was one of the least-loathed government agencies in the country. Now, with orders from on high to keep the public from visiting beloved parks and monuments the agency is developing a poor reputation.

.....

It what looks like a spiteful move, the NPS even removed handles from water spigots along the Chesapeake and Ohio canal where bikers and joggers exercise as well as along the Great Allegheny Passage, just to ensure people don't get any water from them...

You shut down water lines by closing their supply valves, not by removing faucet handles. (Nice excuse-making though. Very creative of you.)

Let’s go put them back on!

I see an outstanding marketing opportunity here. Go check out one of the faucets and determine what kind of handle is needed. Then go to Lowes or Home Depot or Wal-Mart and buy a case or two. Then set up a table near the entrance and rent the handles or sell them at a profit.

Of course, you could always sell lemonade!

If an NPS eco-fascist thug lives near you, wait for the slug to leave and use a hand sledgehammer to knock all the handles off his doors. If his Mercedes is sitting in the driveway, repeat the process. It’s time for community harassment.

Now you know how Hitler was so successful. We see all of these American bureaucrats who are, “Just following orders.”

Wait until those orders include bashing the heads of American citizens with billy clubs.

The rape of the American people is just beginning.

Obama cheated his way to reelection. Now he has carte blanche to do whatever he pleases for these second 4 years.

Take a look at Boehner and the rest of the Republicans in Congress. Nearly all of them are totally incapable of dealing with Obama the tyrant. Too bad for America.

I believe it was the Patriot Act that did make them park police, instead of just rangers.

This goes to show you, a bureauKaRATZ is still nothing more than a RATZ.

And the RATZ only consideration is his/her PAYEEECHECK! So that they can go home and feed their scut, feral pig family.

Its how tyrannies operate. Without feral pig RATZ, a tyrant could never succeed.

Go read Animal Farm. Read it twice.

No one should be surprised that these RATZ would behave the way they do. Its the nature of a RATZ to act this way.

And the kenyan knows this and uses it.

If and when these RATZ are put on trial for violating their oath to uphold and DEFEND the Constitution, their NUMBER ONE defense will be: But, but, but, I was just doing what I was TOLD!! (UNT I VAZ CHUST FOLLOWINK ORDERS!)

And they are too stupid to know how badly they have been played, and how much America really does HATE them for that stupidity.

Park Service has morphed into the Gestapo.

Has anyone determined that Obama had the authority to shut it down in the first place?

IF he thinks he can control the entire shoreline of the USA out 12 miles, how come this isn’t more widespread???

Who exactly is PAYING these government bullies...

I think the little creeps think their paycheck is covered only by liberals. They're wrong. Let's get a private company to run the parks... these 'rangers' are thugwannabees...

Who exactly is PAYING these government bullies is my question too. It is interesting that even with a shutdown, Big Government manages to spend money on useless money wasting crap.

I remember reading, about 40 years ago, some NP ranger becoming upset when a kid called him a “Pig Ranger”.

There are people in this country who will do as ordered,
including Killing Fellow Americans. This removes all doubt.

If we think this is bad, it’s nothing compared to the crap they can do to us once they control medical care.

Some of those bikers could get sick or have a heat stroke... and the little bullshit ‘rangers’ won’t care... This is a taste of what’s to come...

Park Rangers are armed but our troops on military bases aren’t.
