Sharp Words Over Shutdown When Lawmaker Visits WWII Memorial

Ever been to those parks? And as you will note...the Park Police is NOT furloughed. they are on duty...locking people out.

The lockdown of monuments is nothing more than a petty act of a pathetic petty small minded 'leader'.

“It’s a cheap way to deal with the situation,” an angry Park Service ranger in Washington says of the harassment. “We’ve been told to make life as difficult for people as we can. It’s disgusting.”

I would just add that they're locking people out of what are normally open air monuments. In other words, they're having to erect and man barricades where none already existed. It's cheap; it's vindictive; it's nasty and mean spirited... you know... liberal.

yep. That's why I asked if people had been there as opposed to the knee jerk defense of all things Obama.

all of the park rangers are not furloughed
only most of them
those on duty are deemed essential to protect the park assets

yep. one jim demint. the fellow from the heritage foundation who is orchestrating this fiasco via cruz
don't furlough federal employees and then complain when the federal employees are not present to do their jobs
should be obvious. apparently not to teabaggers

an unnamed source
show me an email or memo from the park service to its staff stating this, and then you will have something. until then, its just more reich wing propaganda

Those monuments honor veterans...of course the Obama diciples haven't seen them.

What about the folks maintaining the berriers?
 
Doesn't matter - taxpayers funded that park and that memorial..... They have every right to be there regardless... Government has no right to deny them access to what is rightfully theirs to begin with..... They served this country and now this country is denying them the right to visit their memorial for political reasons?

Of course democrats actually believe it's authoritarian stunts like this that will potentially sway voters to blame republicans...

Guess what? a republican would never deny a vet access to their own memorials.... That's all typical DNC sway politics...

Remember - to the DNC these are all bunch of "old white people" that contributed to the civil rights problem in the first place.
 
Your partisan BS is just that, but when BS are also lies it needs to be pointed out. The House in fact has passed a Continuing Resolution - in fact several.

1st one included a defunding of obamafarce.
2nd one merely called for a delay in the obamafarce.

Third the House offered up a committee of members to work wtih the senate to hammer out a solution and harry and his dictator buddy in the white house refused to negotiate.

You lied when you said the House passed nothing. You can defend maggie all you want but when she suggests I should not have a right to vote because I don't see things here leftist way she becomes a fascist - that is how fascist roll. Another way to roll is to play word games and lie - and spew BS just as you did here.


Wow, you really have no idea who you're talking to if you're calling MaggieD a lefty.



This whole mess started because the Republicans in the house tried to fiddle with the ACA and the Democrats in the Senate refused to let them. Neither side has budged in any substantive way on the key issue that started the mess.
 
a CR with policy riders is not a CR
 
How many Repups will lose their House seats for this shameful behavior of using our Veterans?
 
actually, it was the appeasement of the park service which was gotten wrong. how was the WWII veterans' desire to visit memorial found to be an exercise of free speech while other non-WWII veterans could not enter
the park ranger was given weak instructions, but she saluted and followed orders. what was she to have otherwise done?

She should have saluted the veterans and took the barricades away because its shameful. Fed and Union employees, I know you can think sometimes.

that would be a stupid thing for a federal employee to do: refuse to follow direct orders
only a fool looking to be fired would pursue your recommended course of action
you may not be old enough to remember what happened to the air traffic controllers who defied their orders early in the ronnie raygun era. they exercised the same stupidity you endorse. and they lost their jobs as a result

what about them? do you have a point to make? if so, please state it

Getting fired would be the least of my concerns going against a progressive script, because progressives are downright vicious assholes, but sooner or later this administrations bull**** is gonna be called out, except for the sheeple but that is to be expected.

And how do you do that sir? What union or government manual helps you determine what post content is stupid? Do you have that manual anywhere, or do you have direct orders your following?
