No water for you!

Via the DC:

The National Park Service has actually had someone remove the handles off all the well pumps along the Chesapeake & Ohio Canal that runs 184 miles from Washington, D.C. to Cumberland, Maryland, according to sources. The NPS has also stationed officers in the park to make sure bikers don’t ride down closed bike paths and that no one can come near the scenic waterway.

Yet they put water out for the illegals walking over in the desert.

THAT’s going to cost Obambi a few more poll percentage points...

Why hasn’t Rep. Michael K. Simpson of Idaho, chair of the House Appropriations Interior Subcommittee, frog-marched the upper echelon of the NPS into a hearing?

Hmm....a whole bunch of the affected people must be Obama lovers. Wonder how they’re feeling about this outrage? It is indefensible.

This kind of thing is not benefiting the Democrats messaging.

I don’t post a lot, but I still lurk, especially when things start gettin’ ugly....which is rather often these days.

I really would love to see the people who are being made to enforce these ridiculous directives redress, revolt and robustly refuse to carry them out.

I will never look at a park ranger the same way again.

Goons with a badge and gun. Pretty soon ones going to get taken to the woodshed by the people who own this great nation.

People probably aren’t going to remember this in a month, let alone next fall when things matter.

Michele’s blog about drinking more water is still up while Barack removes handles on water fountains. Seems to be a lack of communication between the happy couple

The Dems have a much better propaganda machine, so to most Dem voters, this is all the Republicans' fault.

That's what Rep Steve Stockman (R-TX) said, today. He said before the #DimShutDown there were two guards at the Capitol parking garage...now - during "shutdown" there are four guards at same garage.
