God I wish we could fire the entire bunch,Democrats and Republicans. They are worthless as tits on a bull.

[waerth]

It is so sad when one political party when they disagree on something can take a whole country hostage only because they do not want people to get affordable healthcare. It is plainly unbelievable.

[Coss]

I believe it, one of the fundamental flaws in Democracy, I believe, is that if the capacity of the masses to reason, sinks too low, then the reasoning capacity of their representatives sinks likewise.

 

Or...

 

Dumbasses are unlikely to elect clever people to represent them, they'll want one of them, a good 'ol boy, from round here!

 

Also politicians... Do I need to complain about that profession?

[cavanami]

It is very believable, as most of the US politicians are plainly bought off, bribed, take money to satisfy their masters, Big Biz

and other politicians!

 

Most should be at least hanged in the public square, but the American people are so dumbed down and content to watch

the boob tube (TV) and chuckle at all the stupid 30 min TV ha-ha programs...while they and their families are quickly eroding

away into utter poverty...

Several members of Congress chose not to run for reelection last time around, saying it is all about politics today. The Dems and Reps oppose everything each other does, regardless of whether it is a good idea or not. Congress these days is adversarial. It is not interested in good government, just their side winning.

 

e.g. Politics ...

 

<< The National Park Service is sending so many officials out to shut down federal parks that it might have to suspend furloughs if the government closure continues.

 

Two examples:

 

-- At the World War II Memorial on The Mall in Washington, where veterans have been staging protests to keep it open, Washington Examiner's Charlie Spiering reports that at least seven officials were dispatched Wednesday morning to set up a ring of barricades to block tourists from the memorial. That is two more than the State Department had in Benghazi a year ago on the night of the terrorist attack that killed four, including the U.S. ambassador.

 

-- National Park Officials closed down the educational Claude Moore Colonial Farm near the CIA in McLean, Va., even though the federal government doesn't fund or staff the park popular with children and schools. Just because the privately-operated park is on Park Service land, making the federal government simply its landlord, the agency decided to close it.

 

A Claude Moore Colonial Farm official said that the privately-funded staff is on the job Wednesday, but barred from letting anybody visit the historically accurate buildings or animals. Anna Eberly, the managing director, sent out an email decrying the decision and rude National Park Service staff handling the closure.

 

Pointing to Park Service claims that parks have to be closed because the agency can’t afford staff during the government closure, Eberly wrote: “What utter crap. We have operated the Farm successfully for 32 years after the NPS cut the Farm from its budget in 1980 and are fully staffed and prepared to open today. But there are barricades at the Pavilions and entrance to the Farm. And if you were to park on the grass and visit on your own, you run the risk of being arrested. Of course, that will cost the NPS staff salaries to police the Farm against intruders while leaving it open will cost them nothing.â€

 

She added: “In all the years I have worked with the National Park Service, first as a volunteer for six years in Richmond where I grew up, then as an NPS employee at the for eight very long years and now enjoyably as managing director for the last 32 years — I have never worked with a more arrogant, arbitrary and vindictive group representing the NPS. I deeply apologize that we have to disappoint you today by being closed but know that we are working while the National Park Service is not — as usual.†>>

Note: The WWII Memorial stands outdoors in the open. Access is free 24/7 with no employees on duty. Yet the Feds decided to "close it" with barricades! Can you say ... douchebags?

It is getting reported now ... but the mainstream press won't touch it:

It appears that the Obama administration is violating the First Rule of Holes. Yesterday the administration looked awful when it “closed†and barricaded the World War II memorial on the Mall. The memorial is, by its nature, open. There is nothing to close. And the administration knows that every day, tour groups consisting of WWII vets, now mostly in their late 80s or early 90s, come to Washington to visit the memorial. So the administration couldn’t resist closing the WWII memorial by putting up barricades, as part of their effort to dramatize how terrible the government “shutdown†is.

 

Yesterday, as we noted here, the administration suffered a public relations disaster when a group of elderly vets from Mississippi, aided by one or more Republican Congressmen, pushed the barriers aside and visited the memorial. But the administration was still undeterred: a park service employee threatened to arrest any vets who may try to visit the WWII memorial in the future, while the shutdown is in effect.

 

The best thing the Obama administration could do is quietly remove the barricades around the memorial and forget the whole thing. But no: it happened again today. Fortunately, PJ Media was on hand to record the action:

The US gov is completely out of control, IMO!!!

 

Of course, the next this the US gov will do, is stop Social Security payments, then Medicare, etc...all the

benefits to the people. Just a measure to show who is in control. It is all about power and control.

 

Long, long ago, in a galaxy far, far away...the gov used to be concerned about its people...
