#1 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.

#2 The more accurate headline would be:

How NPS,IRS, OMB Became Obama's Private Army

But that's not red-meat enough, I guess.

#3 How NPS,IRS, OMB Became Obama's Private Army

Well, at least we know the so-called 'Private Army' is not experiencing a shortage of small arms ammunition.

#5 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.

#7 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.
