Rep. John Yarmuth (D-Ky.) was critical of budget battles within the GOP saying, Republicans “want to emasculate government at every possible turn” and “want to starve the beast.”
Yarmuth made the statements at a press conference Tuesday while discussing the lack of the Republican conferences to produce a budget. …

Sorry, I recently watched Lord Of The Flies.
Uncle Sam is obese, needs to loose a few pounds.
It is worth noting that the new Governor of KY, Matt Bevin, is a TEA Party guy who tried to knock off Mitch McConnell in the primary for that Senate seat a few years ago, and then prevailed for the Governor’s house despite most polls saying he would lose to the Democrat.
Go Bevin! You’re kicking them where it hurts, clearly, and they need kicking.
Have we ever called it "ramnesty?" Just curious.
That would be like trying to choke maggots off a gut pile. It won’t happen.
Yea right.....I worked for the Gov for a bit.
Its not work,no one does squat and gets paid for it.
It aint gon’ah happen
The only reason I’m willing to vote for republicans is when I believe they will emasculate and starve the beast. Big government is evil and oppressive. Republicans (some of them) are the only ones willing to slow the growth of government, and only a few republican politicians are willing to actually cut government and expand freedom. This is exactly why establishment republicans were universally rejected in the primaries this year - except for Ted Cruz, they have all proven that they will neither protect our borders nor cut government.
Golding didn’t choose the name of his book arbitrarily; it’s the English translation of “Beelzebub”.
A government which repeatedly rapes its most productive citizens needs to be emasculated.
Yup, first inkling that a Democrat might be accurate about something.
That, or “cramnesty”, would be excellent reworkings of tired terminology.
“emasculate government at every possible turn” ?
Oh nooooo.
I want to eliminate the vast majority of the federal gub mint cause the vast majority of gub mint is worthless.
When 25% of the govt federal civil service threatens to quit, it reminds me of that hilarious scene in “Blazing Saddles’ where the sheriff holds a gun to his own head
False premise.
The DemonRat assumes that the Statist government that has destroyed our liberties is “masculine” (and thus, those who oppose a Leviathan state are intending to “emasculate” it).
Not true.
The State is a harpy, a shrewish, nagging bitch that constantly henpecks the citizenry ordering each citizen what they cannot do, and one that feels it must hover over each of our every actions to ensure our very survival...because she thinks we are too stupid to take care of ourselves.
This is why we refer to it as the “Nanny State.”
And it has actually been this nasty, shrill Nanny Bitch (personified by Hillary “Rapist Enabler” Clinton) has “emasculated” our once great nation of rugged individualists.
What we are actually trying to do is return to the US citizenry that form of masculine, rugged independence that made this country great. We are trying to reduce the tyranny of our shrewish government so that the citizenry can mature from the state of childhood that the Nanny Bitch seeks to keep us all in and to mature to full adulthood once again.
25% will quit and no one will notice any difference.
...problem?
You notice the apocalyptic language Yarmuth used? He worships this beast, evidently.
Well, duh!
Later
Military, post office and patent office.
That just about covers it.
