Jarvis is going to get a BIG promotion when this shut-down is over. Then I’m sure there will be a Congressional investigation, right?

“Our legislators need to go after the persons of the media personally.”

Do you really think the people should leave it up to them? Perhaps it’s time for the public to fire those who abuse their positions of public trust.

Just convince them that returning to work, now or ever, would be a very...unhappy...thing for them to do.

“And we must understand that our Obama supporting friends are not our friends.”

No leftard is friend to any conservative. If you think you have a leftard friend, sorry, but you are mistaken, as you will find out when the chips are down.

‘All about power and leverage’ — feds shut down major roadway, block access to graveyard

http://www.foxnews.com/opinion/2013/10/07/all-about-power-and-leverage-feds-shut-down-major-roadway-block-access-to/

(excerpt)

Folks who live in the Great Smoky Mountains have just about reached their breaking point with the federal government.

“It’s almost like they are pushing to see how far they can push before the American people say enough is enough,” said Ed Mitchell, the mayor of Blount County, Tenn. “We were founded on a declaration of independence. And they are about to push the people to the line again.”

Nearly a third of Blount County is inside the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. So when the federal government shut down the park, it also shut down one of the area’s chief sources of revenue.

This doesn’t top out at Jarvis.

NPS last week was pointing fingers at OMB. The head of OMB is a political hack and protege of Harold Ickes.

We all know who Harold Ickes is, right?

“if the NPS is unable to collect fees for some reason, those stations are required to be left open to the public”

Imprisonment in a country club is not sufficient.

We *must* bring back flogging.

NO, the NPS has had this attitude “we own it”, for decades, if you have ever dealt with them. Its just become mega magnified now!

I don’t see my Congresscretin’s signature on this. But I’m not surprised given she’s a Commiecrat.

Not one CONgresscritter from Red England on the list...go figure.

Of course, they are squealing like pigs in Red Hampshire at the moment because 22 privately-owned campgrounds have been shut down by the NPS right before the Columbus Day holiday weekend...sorry, leaf peepers. Elections have consequences.

Boy did you ever get that right. Greens and NAZIs are just twin brothers from my perspective. I wondered out loud if ANY of these jack boots would lose sleep over using words like ‘I am just following orders’.

It has given me chills and creeped me out. They don’t HAVE to follow orders that are ILLEGAL. This is how it started in Germany the testing and probing and checking to see what the response would be. Let us stand and say in unison NO ON OUR WATCH. Let us respond in a manner that tells these traitors that they CANNOT have my country without a fight

Some congressmen should discreetly suggest that the US government has no need to employ “officers who put ‘obeying orders’ over service to the people.”

Basically a threat that if they keep up “just following orders”, that they will soon be out of a job, and may even be barred from future employment with the federal government.

I bet this would change their behavior in a hurry.

The governors of the states should sent the State Police to the parks and commandeer them and sent the NPS goons packing.

Time for some disobedience to thuggery.

LOL, that’s quite the stmt re ATF. Barry Soetoro has done many things wrong/illegal but corrupting the ATF isn’t one of them. The ATF have a VERY VERY long history of corruption and I’ve never heard them described as respected.

The libs have got a document floating about on the web trying to justify the NPS’ atrocious behavior during the shutdown. Once again, it seems that they’re trying to hide behind “public safety” as a catch-all excuse for their actions.

This is stupid. These 93 Congressmen are deflecting the blame away from Obastard.
