Park Rangers call Rep. Randy Neugebauer’s outburst “shameful”

[TexasTowelie]

WASHINGTON – The shutdown is now in week three and the Park Service can’t take it anymore.

President of the National Park Rangers Lodge, Fraternal Order of Police George Durkee didn’t mince words in an open letter that began with a recap of an incident where Lubbock Republican Rep. Randy Neugebauer yelled at a park ranger and told her she should be ashamed of herself.

The attack is what was shameful, Durkee said.

“Closing National Parks is against our nature,” Durkee said in the letter. “The reason we became Park Rangers and love our profession is because we enjoy welcoming people from around the world to our national treasures, and providing for safe and enjoyable visits to these sites, while leaving them protected for future generations.”

1. I was dumbfounded then angry at him.

But not surprised. About five or six years ago Senator Conrad Burns yelled at a crew of out of state wildfire fighters as they came in from a forest fire. They left their families and home, risked their lives and Burns was yelling at them. He was not re-elected. I was so embarrassed to have someone like Burns as my Senator.
