How about a boycott on WaPo to shut up D-bag idiots?

That would terrify me, I sure hope he doesn’t shut down the government...

I don’t mind if they suspend government operations for a while... but I want to make sure that they start with BATFE, the Department of Education, and the IRS.

EPA, HUD, food stamps and on and on. BUT first stop paying Congress and that person in the WH.

ROTFL!

I’d yell “TarBaby” but then someone would call me racist.

What would be terrifying is if Obama shut down the departments that crank out billions of dollars in welfare benefits to millions of slackers.

Would that mean that the checks that haven’t been coming to me my whole live still won’t be coming to me? Not really sure how I’ll survive...

Yes. I'm almost as afraid of a government shut-down as Monty Burns was of the Germans...

Well, I WOULD say something like “Please Br’er Barack — PLEASE don’t throw me in that briar patch”...

...except it might be construed as ‘racist’.

Somebody is going to call you racist no matter what.

Shut them down. Let them know who is in charge of the United States. Don’t start up the federal government again until they accept the fact that they have to follow the rules as set forth by the United States Constitution. If they can’t or won’t agree to that, throw them out and find someone who will.

Shut down the government?
Just shut down the non-essential parts of government.
OK, I’m repeating myself ...

Didn’t the FAA get ‘shut down’ for a while. Yet my sister and niece flew to visit me and back home okay. Nothing happened. The only people who have something to fear are government parasites and the Congresscritters who are afraid We The People will see how well the country runs after the ‘shutdown’.

Barack Obama - turning the presidency from something that is respected into something that is feared.

So we’re supposed to “fear” the President? Is that how it works?

Shut it down and send Congress home, maybe that way we’ll save billions and keep those Marxist Democrats from more nefarious mischief.

@ @schnaity I don’t even know what the “deal” is exactly. Getting past 2012, tho, if true, is a relief to me. Nation cant go thru this again.
