Lets hope this serves as a wake-up call .......and lets demand that Congress hold those accountable in the IRS and National Parks Service for their uncivil service.
"Wake up call"..............?
If you've not awakened by now, you're legally dead.

Below is a quote from the linked Yellowstone article in the Financial Times article. It seems to be in a local Boston newspaper, in the local section, based on an interview with a local lady who was kicked out of the park last week.
The experience brought up many feelings in Vaillancourt. What struck her most was a widely circulated story about a group of World War II veterans who were on a trip to Washington, D.C., to see the World War II memorial when the shutdown began. The memorial was barricaded and guards were posted, but the vets pushed their way in.
That reminded her of her father, a World War II veteran who spent three years in a Japanese prisoner of war camp.
My father took a lot of crap from the Japanese, she recalled, her eyes welling with tears. Every day they made him bow to the Japanese flag. But he stood up to them.
He always said to stand up for what you believe in, and dont let them push you around, she said, adding she was sad to see fear, guns and control turned on citizens in her own country.
I suppose that what the Colonials felt.

I hope the park rangers and the head of the national parks service understand that their abuse of power will end with the new CR. They will very soon be relegated back to pointing out outhouses and picking up trash. We will not forget their kicking 85 year old veterans out, their removing water handles so joggers cant get a drink from fountains, closing businesses that are privately owned and siting AMERICANS for trespassing on THEIR lands. We will remember you, the shame you brought on this nation, your willingness to abuse the trust America has given you, and your lack of integrity and honor in upholding the positions you were hired to perform.

[DAILYCALLER] Top Internal Revenue Service Obamacare official Sarah Hall Ingram discussed confidential taxpayer information with senior Obama White House officials, according to 2012 emails obtained by the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee and provided to The Daily Caller.
Lois Lerner, then head of the IRS Tax Exempt Organizations division, also received an email alongside White House officials that contained confidential information.
Ingram attempted to counsel the White House on a lawsuit from religious organizations opposing Obamacare's contraception mandate. Email exchanges involving Ingram and White House officials -- including White House health policy advisor Ellen Montz and deputy assistant to the president for health policy Jeanne Lambrew -- contained confidential taxpayer information, according to Oversight.
The emails provided to Oversight Sherlocks by the IRS had numerous redactions with the signifier "6103."
Section 6103 of the Internal Revenue Code forbids a federal employee from "disclos[ing] any return or return information obtained by him in any manner in connection with his service as such an officer or an employee."
Federal employees who illegally disclose confidential taxpayer information could face five years in prison.
Federal employees who illegally disclose confidential taxpayer information could face five years in prison.
"Thanks, David. Thanks for the information on [6103]," White House official Lambrew wrote to IRS official David Fish in a July 20, 2012 exchange. "I am still hoping to understand whether the 50 percent rule is moot if the organization does not offer goods and services for sale to the general public. Do we assume that organizations like [6103] do offer goods and services for sale?"
Another email from Montz to Ingram and others refers to the "[6103] memo" and the "[6103] letter" while discussing organizations that are not required to file 990′s.
Ingram appeared before Rep. Darrell Issa's House Oversight Committee Wednesday and claimed she could not recall a document that contained confidential taxpayer information.

That hundreds of IRS employees directly involved in this straightforward abuse of power aren't fired and stripped of pensions over this is a f*cking outrage. In this Administration, it's grounds for promotion.

If I falsify a single tax return, I'm looking at thou$and$ in fines, jail time and a loss of my CPA license. If these SOB's violate the IRS's Prime Directive (and it looks like that very well may be the case), not a god damn thing happens to them. Talk about a massive double standard. Yet our 'overlords' wonder why people buy multiple firearms and thousands of rounds of ammo.
[BREITBART] The Pentagon has confirmed it will not pay death benefits to the families of troops killed in combat during the so-called government shutdown.
"Unfortunately, as a result of the shutdown, we do not have the legal authority to make death gratuity payments at this time," said Lt. Cmdr. Nate Christensen, a Defense Department spokesman. "However, we are keeping a close eye on those survivors who have lost loved ones serving in the Department of Defense."
Not long after the flag-draped coffins of four Americans killed in combat arrived Wednesday at Delaware's Dover Air Force Base, the Pentagon announced that a private charity would restore death benefits for the families of military members who died while on active duty.
More than two dozen men and women on active military duty have died since the federal shutdown began Oct. 1. The $100,000 in so-called death gratuities paid to their survivors within 36 hours was one of many key programs placed on hold because of the stalemate in Washington.
In a surprise move, Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel announced that the Pentagon had reached an agreement with Fisher House Foundation, a nonprofit charity that assists military families, to begin paying the survivor benefits until the government can resume them. The foundation will be repaid after the stalemate ends.
Hagel's announcement came slightly more than an hour after the House of Representatives unanimously passed a bill, 425 to 0, to restore the benefits and sent it to the Senate. It appeared, however, that the Democratic-controlled Senate might not act on the bill after the Pentagon moved to pay the benefits through the private foundation.
If the Senate fails to act, Republicans would have a harder time claiming credit for restoring the aid to military families.
That's certainly one perspective.

A convenient 'cover for action'. A simple phone call to the DoD bugeteers instructing them to REPROGRAM funding would have done the trick. We somehow recently found $300m to give to Detroit. These are the actions of committed leftist ideologues, nothing more.
Hagel and the senior uniformed leadership of DoD should be relieved and FIRED for cause !
