What the heck are you talking about?

The Democrats will gladly pass Obama’s horrendous agenda. The Democrats will gladly work with Republicans on “compromise.”

But, there is one and only one way to actually stop Obama. Republicans must shut the government down. Period. What are you missing?

The Democrats will shut down the government to block the House budget.

I’ve no time for anyone too foolish to know that by now.

The government is far too big and intrusive. Parts of it should be shut down and parts of it should be selectively defunded to stop the dumb things they do.

However, the government includes such entities as the military, the Coast Guard and the FAA. There are others. Do we really want those completely shut down and all of their activities halted, even for a week or so, while our politicians try to make political hay as a prelude to getting down to business and actually looking at and doing something useful about what the various governmental entities do, good, bad, necessary and unnecessary?

There would be worse than the personal inconvenience, for example, of all air travel within, to and from the United States being halted: without air traffic control, that would likely happen. There are presumably ongoing military operations and they would have to be halted midstream. How about Coast Guard search and rescue missions?

With the entire government shut down, could there even be votes to get it running again? I don't know but maybe not.

Perhaps we should all just cut off our noses to protest against governmental idiocy.
