#1 ..versus the 'transformative' ideological crusade to establish a workers paradise single party system?

#2 NSA... write this down.

Obama, fuck you. Fuck you with a lamppost sidewise.

End of transmission.

#3 How very mooslim. Using the term of reference 'ideological crusade' pejoratively.

#5 I wanted to see what Rasmussen poll numbers showed. Unexpectedly ...

The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Tuesday shows that 52% of Likely U.S. Voters approve of President Obama's job performance. Forty-seven percent (47%) disapprove.

The president’s job approval ratings continue to improve and now mark his best showing since mid-April.

Democrats have now extended their lead over Republicans to four points – 42% to 38% - in the latest Generic Congressional Ballot. This is their biggest lead and highest level of support since mid-April.

Just 46% of voters now favor a government shutdown until Democrats and Republicans can agree on what spending for the new health care law to cut, down from 51% two weeks ago. Forty-five percent (45%) want to avoid a shutdown by authorizing spending for the law at existing levels.

#6 Grant sat before Richmond for months while the action went on elsewhere holding Lee and troops in place. As more and more Americans make personal contact with Obamacare they'll find its just another MVD on steroids. That initial bump will drop accordingly.

#7 Meanwhile, we have smaller government. Who took the objective?

#8 ...oh, and DC is finally starting to feel the unemployment the rest of America has been experiencing. What's not to like?

#9 IIRC, all that will happen to Federal workers is that their paychecks get delayed, not canceled. Unlike most workers who get nothing if their place of employment is shut down.

#10 Depends on how long this goes on. The if House only operates on 'by crisis' funding, could be a long time.

#12 Champ picked a fight with the one group on the planet he could beat - the House GOP.

You recall wrongly. Only ones who get a delayed paycheck are the ones who have been listed as 'excepted.' Right now, that's about 20% of the civilians at my command, mostly providers and vital support staff. If you're furloughed, you don't get paid.

That said, the shutdown is only way you're going to get the regime and its Senate and media cronies to listen.

#15 OK, Pappy, I was misinformed.

#16 S'okay.

I had someone tell me since I was 'exempted', I'd still be getting paid. There's a difference between the two. I still work 50+ hours, only I don't get paid until this is over.

It'll be worth it if the Pubs don't fold.

Usually happens when the Commander in Chief makes a quick and decisive military decision.

Unfortunately it was to beat up on 80 year olds and cancel football games.

#18 Which leads to the next question: is your cash flow doing ok?

#19 ...apparently, for the Donks, it isn't. Their perpetual vote buying trough has been shut off. Why do you think they're squealing so loud?

#20 Iowahawk tweet on the WWII vets:

1945: stormed land defended by forces fanatically devoted to a Divine Emperor.
2013: Same old, same old.
