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.

About Kate
Why this blog?
Until this moment
I have been forced
to listen while media
and politicians alike
have told me
"what Canadians think".
In all that time they
never once asked.
This is just the voice of an ordinary Canadian yelling back at the radio - "You don't speak for me."

This sort of meanness we have come to expect from the democrats will continue until after the revolution.
Some of the comments on that site suggest the handles were removed for "winterization". I doubt it. Why walk around to dozens/hundreds/thousands of drinking fountains to remove the handles individually when you can just turn off the water at the source by turning off a few valves? Would save maqny hours of work. Silly liberals. Always lying to cover up for Obama's petty tyranny.
This is what ALWAYS happens when government bureaucracies come under scrutiny. It ALWAYS makes sure that it offers up the most visible "services" they provide. And frankly, anyone who does so should be summarily fired. It happens everywhere all the time. Even (maybe especially) in municipal politics. The first word out of the mouths of municipal politicians and their union sycophants is something along the lines of "we will have to lay off fire fighters so response times will be drastically increased".
It is simply another reason why government services must be kept to a minimum and why many services should be privatized. When the public sector reaches a certain point, the game is over because the public sector "workers" will support only those politicians who are in bed with them. One hand washes the other...
One other thought....did anyone actually see these government "workers" removing the handles? If so, were the "workers" riding bicycles and wearing brown shirts? Like this....

For anyone wanting to understand what is truly behind all this, I highly recommend checking out the website FrontPage Magazine where the whole speech (The Threat We Face) of David Horowitz is posted today, October 10. I think it is the best summary I have ever seen of the threat we face. While he is American and focuses on the situation there, we have exactly the same war happening here where the Liberals, NDP and Greens replace the American Democrats. It is the same agenda and the same tactics.
These guys must be doing this for free and therefore out of spite because this kind of thing costs money. I thought the government was shut down?
Alain, a link would be helpful.
We were recently prohibited from going birding on a barrier island off the coast of Cape Cod because it is technically in the National Seashore Park. No one has ever seen a NPS employee on the island. However, if they will agree to keep part of the government closed, I will agree not to go to the island.

Below is the link you want. Kate's cyber defenses have intercepted ("for review") the live link I provided, so you'll have to copy the link and paste it into the address bar of your browser.

I just got an e-mail stating that the Republicans are about to cave in to Obama on this whole thing. I am so fed up with fake Conservatives and Republicans, and here they go again. Thanks RSP for providing the link I forgot to do.
Thanks guys. A few minutes I also just got the link by email from a friend.
I just finished reading the complete article and most of the comments as well. This is what I have been saying for decades, but David articulates much better. When you have lived in progressive (communist) families or have had close family members living under communism you know what people will getting.
Poor Americans; they have no clue what they are asking for.
Right you are. It took the Russian people almost 80 years to get out of the hole they put themselves into in 1917.
"Government to continue spitting in your face until morale improves"
Ken (kulak)You have been saying what Mr. Horowitz writes in this article, very well, for a very long time; right here at SDA. Once again SDA is way ahead of the rest.
That said; this article is excellent - I have printed it for some of my friends and e-mailed it to others. No skirting around the fringes - fighting fire with fire - an reformed insider informing the rest of us on how to fight. I learned this left wing zealot dirty non fact agenda driving cult tactics from the anti smoking zealots. The mania surrounding this war against a simple herb and the smoking of it was astonishing to me; a fool believing that my country would never ban my favorite herb from my favorite bar or coffee shop; just limit it's use to 'smoking areas' in some places. I knew that some people did not like the smell of tobacco smoke and I figured that they should set up non smoking bars and coffee shops for themselves. I knew that 2nd hand smoke was harmless because I and all my generation grew up healthy and happy in a cloud of that smoke! I also knew that smoking, like booze and margarine was not a health food but smoking like drinking beer/wine/whiskey etc and eating petro lard (margarine) is a choice. The lies and the hate for me as a spokesman for choice astonished me: people who advocated killing inconvenient small humans were calling me a child killer for smoking in an out door park within a 10 foot radius of 12 year olds!
From the comments at this link:
"Obama is not stupid or incompetent, he is evil, and he is bent on destroying America and replacing it with totalitarianism"
The focus of all evil is in the Democratic (progressive) movement, with Obama as it's head."
In a nutshell, Occam and Phantom have been saying this for months, right here at SDA.
Thank-you for the link RSP.
