	"If we must have an enemy at the head of Government, let it be one whom we can oppose, and for whom we are not responsible, who will not involve our party in the disgrace of his foolish and bad measures." - Alexander Hamilton "We don't intend to turn the Republican Party over to the traitors in the battle just ended. We will have no more of those candidates who are pledged to the same goals as our opposition and who seek our support. Turning the Party over to the so-called moderates wouldn’t make any sense at all." -- President Ronald Reagan "A thing moderately good is not so good as it ought to be. Moderation in temper is always a virtue; but moderation in principle is always a vice." - Thomas Paine 1792 "It does not take a majority to prevail, but rather an irate, tireless minority, keen on setting brushfires of freedom in the minds of men." - Samuel Adams "If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or your arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen." - Samuel Adams

Gentlemen, I say ye Dan Huls. Hear, Hear!

Meanwhile the "news" media are desperately searching for gub'mint workers, or their families, who are angry at being furloughed and will publicly blame the Repubs, but not the Dems. Those are the "stories" the propaganda arm of the DNC want to tell.

Kudos toa news organization that will publish the other side to give balance.

There are many people like this guy being affected, furloughed, unpaid, etc (FReepers and others) who fully support the House holding the line. Not everyone connected to the govt is an ObeyMe thug.

Thanks to Texas’ new senator, Dale Huls is out of a job

Wow. That is an opinion, not a fact. Right out of the gate they throw their crap.

It’s so refreshing to see a politician on Capitol Hill whose number one priority ISN’T to stick it to the American people. Politicians like Cruz are hard to find.

Yes, NASA.gov is non-operational, too. I went to look up the time for the conjunction of Venus, Mercury, Saturn and the moon tomorrow night. Never mind.......I get the star chart from the Michigan State University. The planets will all be in the western sky around 1/2 hour after sunset, if you all want a look.

Is a government shutdown really a government shutdown when the government in question is providing all necessary public services? NO. The term ‘’shutdown’’ is a propaganda device — a classic ‘’Big Lie’’ — that is now being mercilessly wielded by the Democratic/MSM machine to try to convince people they’re in a terrible crisis when they aren’t.

Is a single Republican Senator, Ted Cruz, who isn’t even in a leadership position, more responsible for keeping the so-called government shutdown in progress than the combined forces of the much more powerful president and Senate majority leader who adamantly refuse to negotiate an end to the impasse? NO. It’s just more propaganda.

It took the villagers in the children’s story only a short time to realize that the sky was NOT falling and that therefore Chicken Little was a fool for hysterically declaring that it was. Every minute the ‘’shutdown’’ continues, more and more Americans will realize that nothing adverse is happening and that the hysterical Democrats and MSM reporters are fools for declaring that the shutdown is a crisis.

Time is on the Republicans’ side. They must not cave in.

Why not?

The House just voted to pay them to be off work, the entire House GOP voted for that, a deal made with Obama and Reid

They hit the lottery.

Taxpayers working non-(GS) government jobs are suckers.

[SoFloFreeper]

The Associated Press ran this story? For real? Who got fired for putting this story out there?

[Neoliberalnot]

Anyone posting here should be going to every “news” site with articles on Ted Cruz and posting a comment of support for this man who represents the tax payer and the TEA Party. The left, the parasites, and the criminals in big government fear Ted Cruz.

[RKBA Democrat]

This might be part of the reason why DoD ended it’s furlough. DoD employees tend to be more conservative than those in other agencies. Don’t want them out there making mischief for the libs.

[NFHale]

“...Thanks to Texas’ new senator, Dale Huls is out of a job ...”

Actually, it’s thanks to Obastard and Harry Reid... but hey, why should a newspaper make any attempt to get it right...

Good to hear the guys isn’t blaming Senator Cruz. He did the right thing.

I love, love, love your quotes!!

Repeal zoning and planning regulations. Abolish impact fees. Stop NIMBY-ism, and real production will happen.

[Wanderer99]

Idiot liberals will always prefer government over private industry because idiot liberals are not creative or intelligent enough to meet the demands of private industry. They want the cushy jobs with inflated benefits and/or treated to unlimited easy living if they choose to sit at home, drink beer, screw *****es, and play xbox all day long.

They are worthless losers who will never be welcomed in any nation that wishes to preserve its own health and survival.

Mr. Huls illustrates the difference in attitude, mind set and values between an engineer and, say, a social worker.

[freedom462]

Well, when Cruz is right, by G-d is he right. Not much more needs to be said here.
