Pettiness? This is truly reprehensible. Try to imagine a doctor who, because you didn’t pay him for your last visit, sought to maximize the amount of pain he inflicted in your treatment.

The reason they can get away with it is because most of us do nothing. The best effort we make to register our anger is to comment on a blog. We need to light up the white house and congressional swithcboards. We need to demand change and we need to use the “I” word (Impeach). Demand your nogood congressperson resign if they are not dong their job. No budget then resign. No control of the deficit then resign. No effort to repeal Obamacar, then resign. They are afraid of us if we stand up and speak up. That’s why the Dems call the tea party such disgusting names. You have a choice; sit down and shut up or stand up and let your voice be heard. Nothing less then the future of this country depends on what we all do.

I wish Breitbart would put some thought into the list.

Closing the commisaries…that is due to the lack of appropriations, not discretionary unless Congress passes an exception

Not letting civilian and contract chaplains hold mass…Appropriations and labor law. You work, you get paid, it isn’t discretionary for a reason. Question, should they get paid to do Mass? Perhaps the pay should be for pastoral services with Mass left to the Church?

I’m all for pointing out the stupid stuff but those two things along with the death payouts are consequences of the failure to pass appropriations, not over-reacting Obama (assuming the death payout wasn’t authorized by the recent bill passed)

Rule of law: no appropriations no activities that draw from the Treasury that’s the anti-deficiency act. No wages, no work that’s labor law.

Shutting down roads and open air monuments that don’t require the expenditure of appropriations, that is petulance.
