The unnecessary actions of federal government bureaucrats, under direct orders from the White House, have been nauseatingly vindictive lately. We are talking about orders to park service employees to go out of their way to make sure otherwise open-spaced sites on the National Mall are closed to everyone including World War II vets. These elderly vets were actually invited to travel to Washington to be honored. But to make the point of the high costs of closing the federal government, Mr. Obama went ahead and stiffed the vets.
This week the White House is outdoing itself in the "wrong is right" department. Suddenly it is rolling out the red carpet on the National Mall during the same federal government shutdown. Why? The president wants to accommodate a protest that will be attended by thousands of people who entered the country illegally.
Through temporary barricades designed to keep citizens "out" of the mall, observers can still see "closed" signs hastily taped on walls and gates by bureaucrats. But incredibly, federal workers have now been assigned to provide assistance during the setup of an "immigration reform rally." On one side of the National Mall, one can see more than 100 porta potties that were set up for protesters who will be attending the rally.
It seems that rally organizers are being allowed by the Obama administration to carry out their protest under their "First Amendment" rights. These actions go far beyond the hypocrisy of a double standard that subordinates U.S. citizens in their own country during a shutdown. Does anyone realize the citizens rights afforded to illegals were secured by the veterans of World War II when they stormed the beaches at Normandy? How insane and outrageous do the actions of this White House have to become before the majority of Americans do something about it. How can anyone look the other way while this is going on?
