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...

For those who dream of an armed revolution in the U.S., these government employees have shown us whose side they are eager to take

I fail to see the point you're making. We already know that most government drones would follow Duh Fuhrer's orders without hesitation. If you're trying to infer that our military people are of the same union member mentality, you're only partially right.

Sure, there are Obots in the military, but the highest percentage are in the officer ranks. Those Americans in uniform who've volunteered to be the point of the spear in a post 9/11 world, are on average, of a very different caliber. Most of them are our kind of people.

Let’s go put them back on!

Excellent idea. I'll bet there are thousands of patriotic plumbers who'd be more than happy to help rectify that situation.

We're all Joe The Plumber now!

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.

There are far more of us, than there are of them. And we're armed. Well armed.

They're going to regret it, if they light this prairie up. Once lit, there's no power of the face of this planet that can put it out.

“Truth is zero has the discretion to open it up but who knows which of his lawyers is whispering in his ear on this one.”

Dude!

Bammy is black, Holder is black - and those kind don’t like “cracka” types.

Think I am overstating the situation/motivates?

How many black guides are there and how many white guides.

‘Nuff said.

Have had water fountains turned off during the winter in the north.

You don't remove the spigot handles to shut off the water. Any plumber's helper could tell you that.

Who exactly is PAYING these government bullies and vandals in a supposed government shutdown?

A better question is: “Who is threatening these Park Rangers with their jobs and pensions if they decide to be decent human beings and don’t follow the TelePrompter in Chief’s Ramblings”

Taking the handles off wouldn’t keep the pipes from freezing.

1. Transfer all national parks to the states.
2. Fire the rangers.

And which of the brainiacs in the SpiteHouse thinks this is winning friends and influencing dem votes ? :)

Sorry for the troubles, friends, but its burying the A**hole in the SpiteHouse and his dem buds. Out of touch with America. I'm gobsmacked.

When did the h*ll did they get weapons? Probably part of the Patriot Act. Citizens, there’s NOTHING patriotic about the Patriot Act.

They've been slowly arming them since at least the early 80s, with more and more being LE commissioned each year. Hardly anyone took them seriously, so now they even carry Tazers. A rangerette Tazed a guy for walking away from her in a newly-seized NPS area outside of SF (a year or two ago). She was of course transferred to a better spot -- the way they always act with the biggest losers who work for the feds.
