Trump is right, they don’t worship God, they worship Government
Government is an obstacle, it should only be used to defend our borders and ourselves from foreign invasions. It wasn’t suppose to be Santa Clause
To: Bullish
Exactly. She’s dumber than Obamatard.

Government is not a person. It is a function. It is supposed to serve the people, not be served by them.

The MSM is already portraying the govt employees as pawns and martyrs in the shutdown, and trying to imply that they are losing their pay instead of it being delayed. Boo hoo.
