Update: 10/7/13, "Amber Alert site restored after online furor over government shutdown. Justice Department brings site back online after critics suggest that the shutdown had forced closure of notification system," UK Guardian. "A spokesman for the Department of Justice told reporters that although the website was down last week, the program itself had not been affected by the shutdown." The hateful wording on the website (seen below) deliberately led readers to believe the service wasn't operating. It could easily have said the service was working despite the website being down but for an entire week it chose not to. How neat to fool evil Americans fearing lost or dead children!!! Payback time!!!
10/7/13, "Obama: Shutdown for thee, but not for me," American Thinker, Thomas Lifson
"It is now quite clear that President Obama is managing the shutdown of 17% of the government to inflict pain, while sparing himself and his family any discomfort. Although his media lickspittles will not publicize the worst abuses, social media offers us the chance to spread the word of his peculiar priorities.
Today, we learn that the Amber Alert website, which helps rescue kidnapped children, has been taken down "due to the lapse in federal funding."
Meanwhile, as Weasel Zippers points out,
Let's Move, Michelle Obama's pet project against childhood obesity had its site, letsmove.gov still up.
In a White House of skewed priorities, who in their right mind could possibly think that helping to save missing children was 'less essential"?
But then again, who in his right mind would deprive our troops overseas of their NFL football games, but keep the military golf course favored by the President open? Elizabeth Shields of Breitbart.com reports:
One of Obama's preferred golf courses, the course on Andrews Airforce Base remains open during the government shutdown. The grocery stores on the base, where troops get discounted groceries for their families are, however, closed. They will shop "at local stores that cost about 30 percent more, Lieutenant General Raymond Mason, the service's deputy chief of staff for logistics, said yesterday at a House hearing."...
