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.

From CatholicOnline:

    Until very recently, the National Park Service was one of the least-loathed government agencies in the country. Now, with orders from on high to keep the public from visiting beloved parks and monuments the agency is developing a poor reputation.

More..,

    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.

Wait until the United Association of Plumbers and Pipefitters find out about this. NPS employees are not qualified to do this and the government requires giving first bid for any job that is done by a union to the unions. Last time I checked, park service employees weren't bonded and unionized plumbers.

By the way, in an unsurprising irony, FLOTUS' website telling us to drink more water is still up and running but they are preventing people from drinking water.

I hope that all the leftist fitness freaks that visit National Parks are taking note of what their god, Obama is doing to spite them.
