    Again , what meagain is expressing is at odds with the facts ,no one is questioning or sequestering any federal pension , social program , social safety "net" or "hammock". What we are asking is to hold maximum federal spending. Why do libs have a problem with that? Why the big hurry to set up another islamo barry friendly anti Christian anti American despot with our own fedral tax dollars? Really? Stop the spending. Please. It's NOT a revenue problem ; it's a spending problem.

    I'm self employed , Karen. No ties to corps , unions , or gubmints , thank-you. I proudly select my own customer base as well.

    But seriously, why do so many of us still work every day? Because it's a much better life than depending on public assistance, which is intended to cover only the basics for survival. That's the way it's supposed to be. I know what the welfare lifestyle is. I don't personally know anyone who would want to trade places with them.

    The Senate is coming back at noon (Eastern) for another vote. That bill is expected to pass, but the House is always unpredictable. I don't think even Boehner knows from one hour to the next what his guys are going to do.

    Personally, We shut the bastard down because oby and family would not eat their own cooking. If we the citizenry must sucuumb to gubmint edict ; the "royal" family should be forced into bronze ,silver or gold as well. Perhaps you do understand RULE OF LAW.

    Yes , everything should once again , be SNAFU. BFD.

    I see government schools have let a lot of you folks down. I have answered Karen's inquiry in my previous post. Did any of you take out a student loan? Yikes.

    You shut nothing down. You are insignificant, and have absolutely no power. Stop deluding yourself into thinking that you have any ability to make any sort of changes to the way your country is run. Every 4 years you get to choose between 2 different people to run your country, that's it.

    I didn't say "everyone who disagrees with me"


    I said people who idolize him anyway. Obviously no one has noticed that I've been laying off the word "Liberal;" I am talking about specifically, people who support the president despite all that.

    The question is irrelevant, and off topic.

    All I did was post some facts and debates concerning the 14th Amendment, which you brought up. How is anyting I posted at odds with anything?

    The government shutdown was concerned with money already lawfully spent that must be lawfully paid according to the Constitution. Bills have lawfully been incurred, and must be lawfully paid. I said nothing about what the bills were, what they were for, if they were justified or not, it doesn't matter, they must be paid....period. This should be very clear to those who constantly accuse others of disregarding the Constitution.

    Future spending is another matter entirely and can not Constitutionally be tied to bills already accrued.

    I don't know what your anti Christian, anti American despot rant is about.

    Not a rant , but just a subtle reminder of the billions barry sent to egypped. Then, of course , crying poor mouth at home , he decides to dismantle drinking fountains at National parks due to "right wing extremists" denying "proper funding". How quickly we forget how much money was given to his middle eastern counterparts.

    Who is this "barry" you keep talking about? Is it someone you made up?


    ...and what happened to the 14th amendment and its relation to the government shutdown? I thought the republicans threatened that, not this imaginary "barry" person?


    ...is he a Libertarian or Tea Party radical or something?

    LOL. That's rich. barry , at least that's what about half of the birth certs I have seen , call him ; a Libertarian or Tea Party Fundamentalist . Ha.. LOL. Hilarious. barry is the annointed one. The socialist protege of Saul Alinsky. The enabler of islamic dictatorships ie; egypped. So annointed and elitist that he can exclude himself and family from his own draconian edicts.

    The shutdown is over, and the losers are the working Americans, and our future generations who will be born owing great debt.

    President Obama right now delivered an excellent speech about the sorry mess of the sort-of-resolved government shutdown. I agreed with everything he said. He makes so much sense compared to the ravings of the Tea Party.

    He talked about bipartisanship, but then engaged in plenty of partisanship of his own. The man is pathetic.
