Two Articles on Pettiness of the Admin
« on: October 05, 2013, 11:52:47 AM »
I saw these two articles that seem to represent some of the pettiness on the part of the administration.  They accuse Republicans of playing politics with the shutdown, but play the dirtiest politics themselves.  I am almost wanting to add this to our scandal list.

“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.”

Quote
“During the shutdown, it is illegal for them to minister on base and they risk being arrested if they attempt to do so,” said Schlageter.

He explained, for example, if a Catholic family has a baptism scheduled for this weekend on an Air Force base staffed by a GS or contract priest, that baptism “is most likely cancelled.” If you are stationed in Japan or Korea and served by a GS or contract priest, “then you have no choice but to go without Mass this weekend.”

These are the same sort of stunts they pulled for the sequestration. The MSM doesn't report it, and people blame Republicans.

Unless the MSM reports it, it didn't happen.

Isn't that what governments do  ???

It is much more powerful to seek Truth for one's self.  Seeing and hearing that others seem to have found it can be a motivation.  With me, I was drawn because of much error and bad judgment on my part. Confronting one's own errors and bad judgment is a very life altering situation.  Confronting the errors and bad judgment of others is usually hypocrisy.

I'm surprised they haven't "closed" the interstates and US highways  ;/

Me, too.  Let's not give the petty little tyrant in the White House any ideas.

If there really was intelligent life on other planets, we'd be sending them foreign aid.

Conservatives see George Orwell's "1984" as a cautionary tale.  Progressives view it as a "how to" manual.

My wife often says to me, "You are evil and must be destroyed." She may be right.

Liberals believe one should never let reason, logic and facts get in the way of a good emotional argument.

The Washington Free Beacon and CNS news are not exactly high profile, large subscriber/viewer based entities.  

When NBCBSABCNN do stories about Park Ranger saying they were told to "Make it as Painful as Possible", then the general public might sit up and take notice.  But as it stands now the story out there the airwaves is that "Ebil Republicans !!!  Starvin' Chillun's, Momma's can't get no pills at the Hospidle. !!!  Ebil, Ebil Republicans !!!"

Some days even my lucky rocketship underpants won't help.


Bring me my Broadsword and a clear understanding.
Get up to the roundhouse on the cliff-top standing.
Take women and children and bed them down.
Bless with a hard heart those that stand with me.
Bless the women and children who firm our hands.
Put our backs to the north wind.
Hold fast by the river.
Sweet memories to drive us on,
for the motherland.

Wait, CNN is still open? I thought they were a wholly owned subsidiary of the White House (under democrat admins)

If you think the BS is bad with the gov't shutdown just wait until we roll the debt limit increase into the flap.

Idea!
Instead of shutting down parks, waterways, and monuments, why not shut down the southern border?
What comes across the border every day costs taxpayers (note, I didn't say 'government' I said 'Taxpayers') way more than it does to keep parks, waterways, and monuments open.

Yeah, the talking heads might explode on the 17th.

They were already going full on chicken little about it on the first day of the shutdown.

Honestly yeah there is a difference. CNN is biased but nowhere near MSNBC levels.
