“They’re only really tough when fighting for the top 3% of this nation. The rest of the time they’re ready to throw you overboard.”

They blinked over all the negative hype if they allowed a shutdown. They need to add huge doses of grit, spine, heart, gonads and testosterone to their diets.

I was one of those that stood to be furloughed and miss some paychecks. Unlike so many who say they want cuts, but not if it affects them, I was praying for them to stand fast and insist. I may be a DoD civilian now, but 24 years in uniform will never dissipate the duty/honor/country attitude. Let's hope enough Americans saw through the Dims baseness and who will get behind the Tea Part movement and PUSH these whimps.
