SpiteHouse: National Park goons remove handles from trail water fountains
Yes, they are attacking trails. They can’t close trails off–so the Obama-cized NPS goons are making the use of them less pleasant.
NPS – that would be the National Park Service. Do “public servants” do this to those that, you know, pay their salaries? Or have decided that “they” are not part of “us” anymore.
Authority Transfer – from us to them and they are starting to tell us in no uncertain terms.
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.
Instead of saving money, the NPS is expending additional resources to go out of its way to close such locations and to make people miserable.
There’s really no scenario where this ends well for the NPS. First, several of their workers have lost their wages, workers are working without pay, and when the dust settles, heads will roll in subsequent investigations. The NPS is making itself unpopular with the American public, which is stewing for vengeance as the weather turns cold and bitter.
The American people will long endure a lot – and our history shows it. History also shows that there is a stopping of just enduring as well. Our forefathers said enough to a Government that was tyrannical. Do we still have that fortitude, or has Political Correctness, consumerism, instant gratitude, extreme feminism, and the overall wussification and sissification of America proceeded to far to stand up politically (or otherwise) to repeat what was said so long ago: “..our Lives, our Fortunes, and our sacred Honor”.
Are we still a people that has a Government, or a Government that has subjects?
The Bigger the Government, the smaller the citizen.
