It will be harder than ever for our progressive neighbors to deny that platoons of federal agency workers are just a phone call away from reverting to local units of government goons.  Recall that these people are in jobs of last resort, they would not be hired by anyone in the private sector.  They are utterly loyal to the only hand that will feed them.  And the beast reveals itself more with every passing month and opportunity.

Of all the reports coming in about the conduct of federal agencies during this government shutdown, this editorial in the forthcoming Weekly Standard is most revealing of what we are really dealing with.  “No surprise then that one park ranger explained to the Washington Times last week, ‘We’ve been told to make life as difficult for people as we can.’ ”  (and more here)

The first question that comes to mind is ‘who did the telling?’  But my more urgent question is ‘Where in hell are the local county sheriffs when the federal government straps on their brown shirts and jack boots?’

[10oct13 update]  Congressman Tom McClintock made these remarks on the floor of the House yesterday about "the deliberate decision by the Administration to amplify the public’s suffering and inconvenience during this stalemate.

            This government has gone through 18 shutdowns in the last 37 years but NEVER has a President barricaded open air venues like national memorials. Indeed, he has gone so far as to forbid the use of turnouts on public roads that offer passersby distant views of Mt. Rushmore and Yosemite.  He has ordered people out of their own homes or ordered businesses to close just because they lease their land from the federal government.  He has even tried to close the Atlantic Ocean to Florida fishermen. 

            In the past, Presidents have done everything they could to minimize the impacts of shutdowns; this President is going to ridiculous extremes to maximize the suffering that people must endure.  On park ranger told a reporter, 'We’ve been told to make life as difficult for people as we can.  It’s disgusting.'"

    When I was elected County Supervisor, one of my first acts was firing a man from EH who had been abusing people he was regulating. His power went to his head. Luckily he was not vested yet and could be fired for cause. The problem we have is the civil service/union agreements with wimp ass elected officials that make it almost impossible to fire these slime buckets who treat the citizens as if they were serfs. We have to over haul Civil Service and we need to disallow public unions.

    Ellen and I were in Wash DC the last part of September to visit friends, the Arlington National Cemetery and Great Falls on the Potomac, but we escaped to Delaware before the Great Closing was enforced by the National Park Thugs.
    We cheering when the WWII Vet crashed through the barriers at their memorial, and visitor to Mt Rushmore picked up the highway cones blocking the over looks and threw then into the canyon. From photos being posted on Facebook and Twitter there is more civil disobedience underway across the nation. There is a rumbling rolling across the nation and I think that the our Community Organizers in Residence is going to regret his thuggery. The Park Police and the National Park Rangers thuggery will become the indelible signature of this shut down.
    Here are some thought on the issue from the Diplomad who served Reagan and Clinton in past shutdowns and has some experience with how these past leaders handled the situation, and his is not impressed with the current Community Organizer residing in the White House.
    This man [Obama] is just a practitioner of community organizer thuggery. As I have written before and others, too, the most blatant example of this thuggery, one not even the MSM can ignore, has been the use and abuse of the National Park police to terrorize and threaten Americans to stay away from the parks and monuments which the American people have paid to maintain. There are, of course, many other examples: his use of the ATF to arm Mexican gangs to give law abiding American gun owners a bad rap; the use of the IRS to crush political dissent; the use of the NSA to eavesdrop on American citizens; and now the Obamacare fiasco to grab control of health care and the infinite amount of sensitive data associated with it. The Park police abuse, however, remains the one that will be the iconic feature of this absurd “shutdown.”
    I am, as written above, in total agreement with the Diplomad.

    Leave it to LIB news to point to the real reason. ( at least in his mind.)
    MSNBC host Chris Hayes thinks he’s got it figured out.
    It’s not Obama’s unwillingness to negotiate. It’s not the Democrat’s unwillingness to cut spending.
    It’s the Constitution’s fault that we are having stalemates and shutdowns.
    “The political disfunction that has brought about the shutdown and now threatens default, isn’t so much gridlock. It is exposing the fatal flaw in our Constitution and highly distinct system of government. In other words, it’s the Constitution’s fault. Something truly catastrophic was bound to happen sooner or later.”
    I recall “O” having the same opinion of that sheep skin. How dare a document over 200 years old dictate just what government can and can’t do.
    It’s just SO much easier to be a dictator.
    “O” has his chance to use those “dictator” powers right now. HE can give the order to give our dead heros what they and their families are owed.
    HE can order public property returned to the public.
    But NOPE… THIS dictator wants pain and misery upon his subjects.

    I am absolutely positively sure you understand what I am saying here, fish.
    As for Greg, your Blanche DuBois interpretation is less than satisfying. I would take acting classes if this is where you are headed, though as my father told me in 1972, “if you want a career in classical acting you’d best move to a First World country where such a thing is appreciated, such as the UK or Germany.”
    But I guess since you are post-career, maybe acting will be a hobby for you? OK, that’s fine, but please try to avoid the melodrama. If what you want is ersatz Comedy Club, then say so. You are doing C-level work so far, but I know you can improve with time. You seem like a go-getter.

    Paul, it is very clear that the “break is against the Republican position.” This is why they are going with Plan 7, which is to put off the debt ceiling debate until just before Thanksgiving Day, hoping against hope that Grandma will wag her finger and get the recalcitrant children to finally mind their manners.
    That’s actually at the root of the problem. The #tea-cock-us faction actually live in a different time zone, circa 1952, and they represent only a handful of census blocks in extremely red states. The Gang of 40 is about to be squashed in a very unpleasant display of partisan politics. Kind of like one of those old David Letterman shows where they tossed watermelons and other juicy gourds off of high buildings. SPLAT!!!
    It’s funny that this new deal will still keep the gov’t closed, which is actually where these dumb asses are losing the public’s sympathy. Just an amazing level of ass-whipery. But I do agree that this is a fatal flaw of the constitution, and it remains to be seen if the middle can hold.
    If I were President Obama, I would identify the top ten census blocks of voters who support holding the debt ceiling hostage, and I would “gently suggest” that people contact these voters personally and help them get a grip on how the 21st century is going to work. Yep, that’s how it goes “Chicago-style.”
    Now, to be clear, I think it is great that the stupid Republican Party, finally followed by idiot Boehner, are now expanding their negotiation demands to Just About Everything. Taking PPACA off the table was a necessary first step, but the walkback will not be be that easy.
    If you are holding the debt ceiling–and opening back up the gov’t–hostage to just general debt and deficit issues, you are gonna be in the weeds. The American people will not stand for it.
    So, in summary, an extremely small number of voters in completely unimportant and gerrymandered congressional districts, in counties mostly in the south that have less influence on the cutting edge of 21st century progress that many Second and even Third World countries, managed to lock up the largest and most successful economy in the history of the planet.
    I am actively researching these recalcitrant census blocks to find out how to take out their bishops and take their rooks. In the meantime, please be aware dear readers of RR that you are up against Hollywood and the Silly Clone Valley, where enormous amounts of money are produced on a daily basis. Your hilarious protests are treated with great comedy in the Sand Hill Road Halls of Money, so you will either continue to be museum pieces, or you can move to Idaho and form a compound to satisfy your inner demons.

    re poll in ToddJ’s 901pm – Interesting how they managed to skew the sample of respondents so much more heavily for Obama voters than actually voted for him in the 2012 election. And about 16% work for all levels of government, yet their sample had 20% so employed. I suppose the remarkable thing about the poll is that with such a skewed sample, still so many disapproved of Obama’s job performance and Obamacare.
    And I would make a considerable bet that 9 out of 10 respondents have no idea what the basic tenets of the Tea Party are.

    Todd is not one to look at for poll insights. Remember he was a devotee of some weird poll in the last election (unskewed poll or something like that) that was 13% off the mark. The WSJ poll is legitimate and was right on the money in the last election with Obama by 2.5. WSJ also reflects the views of big business and Wall Street and are lining for a frontal attack on the Tea Party which does not reflect their interests. They hate any kind of Populist movement which the TP’s certainly are and will be in the future. When they start pulling their dough from the Pubs the roof will cave in. In my view the party will split into the party of big business (Republicans) and the Tea Party. It will create havoc for the Repubs in the next election but might serve the greater purpose of creating diversity in the future. Of course the Pubs and Dems control the Presidential debates so good luck on being invited to the big show.

    “The extreme radicals are going to get reelected because they come from districts where they don’t need to raise that much money,” said Greg Valliere, chief political strategist of the Potomac Research Group. “This new tea party movement is not particularly pro-business. They certainly are not pro-Wall Street and pro-big banks. That is a new strain in the Republican party that worries many on Wall Street.”

    Later, the same poll outfit took another and that poll said the LIB was done.
    THAT poll wasn’t released because it didn’t fit their agenda, and “it just couldn’t be correct”.. This was Blue territory it HAD t be wrong. The polling Co. buried it deep. ” Things are just fine,, your seats are safe!”
    Then,, election night hits. It seems the LIBS got the “poll” shoved where the Sun didn’t shine.
    These polling joints do exist. I’m one of the few that actually got called.
    To the headline question, they ask you about 10 to 15 other questions.
    Then there was the problem in the past where one particular polling Co. got strong armed by Holder and the boys, and an inquirery by the IRS. “Their poll”
    didn’t make “O” and the DEMS look good. Some may remember that.
