No. I was refuting your dopey proposition that there's no reason for guards at open air memorials. I take it you now concede that it was dopey, unless you care to stick with it?

You don't understand apparently. Check the law regarding what has to be closed during government shutdown and then check the Antideficiency Act. It has NOTHING to do with what you or I think might be nice or what we may prefer.
This isn't personal, it just is.

So the law you refer to says to put up barriers in open air parks when the government is shutdown? If true, yet another argument against government and not for it. An argument against Obama and not for him.
Obama has shown discretion (illegally) when it suits him such as the waivers given for Obamacare and yet a common sense waiver from putting up barriers at open air parks/monuments goes unexecuted. Either way the blame is forcefully placed directly on Obama.

You didn't refute anything of the sort. But go ahead volunteer your time to create a Thunderdome barrier around the War Memorial. And yes you do imply those barriers would keep 'hoodlums' from desecrating a national monument. That IS funny.

You can blame bananas for all I care, I just pointed out the government closing law and the Antideficiency Act, both of which are driving this train.

Putting up barriers is a bureaucratic idiocy and only a bureaucratic mind would endorse it by misappropriating a law to leverage a logistical waste of money, resources, and man power.
Bugsy McGurk
President
When I said "No" as to whether barriers would keep out graffiti artists, that "implied" that I meant "yes"? Downright daffy.
Why dodge some more? Can't you admit the obvious - that guards around open air memorials are required to keep idiots from defacing them?
Be honest - it won't hurt. Or will it?

No, they are not driving this train. The engineer and conductor are and is Barack Obama.

Since you asked:
Actually I don't like it and hope those Republican House [Unwelcome language removed] who caused all this can gracefully get their act together so people can visit parks and people can work and researchers can save lives and the people who don't understand the penalty of their party shutting it all down and want to blame someone else can move on and invent another outrage.
But then again, I am logic based and do check the laws so I don't end up fretting over the expected results of shutting down the country.

Again, the socialist control freak mind of an ultimately communist being is here displayed. This is the perversion that that has infected America - the expectation that fellow citizens are incapable of functioning normally in the absence of government.
A Tea Party sympathizer or a 99%, which would be most likely to deface monuments, and who do we know you align yourself with. Are you afraid that your kind will go bat shit crazy?

No, no, no... the [Unwelcome language removed] are the bureaucrats who put up the barriers. You are one of them because you still don't see the common sense problem with what they did and are doing. That Obama lets these practices continue makes him THEE [Unwelcome language removed].

Do you really believe that a President is giving direct orders to everyone in Government as to how exactly every detail of closing down Government is carried out? Anyways this is a nice shinny object for you and other Republicans to harp on and take the spotlight of who is causing the shutdown. Republicans in the House.
Minotaur

I think you better read the ONE HUNDRED AND FORTY THREE year old law. The one you didn't know about before you jumped on barriers you don't understand. If you ever stopped to check the list of what is REQUIRED to be closed off you will see that people can die (as in death) over other closures that are REQUIRED. Your Republican House knew that when they became the FIRST Congressional House in History to stop government by using the budget passage to stop a Constitutionally tested LAW. That has never before been done in our country's history.

The power of the purse is the leverage of congress. If this is to be resolved it is to be negotiated. The ones that do not show up to the negotiation table are the only ones to blame.

First they shut it down then cry over what they shut down. Nice trick if they can do it.

All Boner has to do is let the House vote. Stop the shutdown then negotiate.
Minotaur
Governor
The problem is that the republicans in the house are busy cherry picking what they want to open and they too are aware of the potential for jail due to the Antideficiency Act. They shut it all down and now want this exempt from the law, and then that exempt from the law and that won't fly. I have never seen anything so strange in my life. What is wrong with them?

I think you need to get over your bureaucratic mindset. It fools you into thinking you're right.
Was or is your job a bureaucrat job? Come on fess up. :0)

I am not bureaucratic and it has nothing to do with me - It is Constitutional law and the law of the land. The Constitution is the Constitution and the law is the law.
