Midknight Review -- new and revised: The Administration sham that is being called, "The Sequester," now includes the lies about air-controller layoffs and control tower shut downs. The truth? the control towers were on a "shut down list" already and flight controllers will be "laid off" two days a month.

We find this headline in Bloomberg.com:

FAA to Close 149 U.S. Airport Towers After Budget Cuts

One immediately thinks of “sequester.”

Two things to consider, here: first, the article blames the Administration, not the Sequester, per se. In other words, Obama is the big loser in all this talk about Sequester cuts.

Secondly, within the article itself, we learn that most of the nation’s small airports, nearly 5,000 in total, do not have flight control towers, at all . . . . . never did.

Planes, including airliners, can continue to fly to airports without towers. Most of the roughly 5,000 U.S. public airports don’t have towers. Instead of being guided by controllers, pilots radio each other to coordinate landings and takeoffs, according to FAA procedures.

In addition to the above, you will be hearing about flight controller “lay offs,” with the Administration blaming the Sequester, something (the Sequester) the Administration dreamed up on its own, without bipartisan help, and promised to embarrass the GOP if they did not vote for the legislation.

Just remember that when you start hearing about these “lay offs,” they are talking two days a month, with the money being refunded to the controllers at the end of the lay off period.

The Stated Nonsense from the Left now includes these Progressive goals:

July 2, 2008, Obama had this to say: "We cannot continue to rely only on our military in order to achieve the national security objectives that we've set. We've got to have a civilian national security force that's just as powerful, just as strong, just as well-funded."

MICHELLE OBAMA: "Barack knows that we are going to have to make sacrifices; we are going to have to change our conversation; we're going to have to change our traditions, our history; we're going to have to move into a different place as a nation."

“ . . . . . . they have become a generation of activists possessed with that most American of ideas – that people who love their country can change it.” -- Obama the Radical

On September 30, Van Jones told MSNBC "I think everybody should hold onto your seats. October is going to be the turning point when it comes to the progressive fight back."
