“Chad Pergram; @ChadPergram
Protester dragged off House floor. Apparently one of the stenographers from the dais.”
Anyone see this?

Ryan is on the floor offering some sort of strange amendment.
We are so screwed!

Wow, they missed D-day
D-day ‘Default-day’
We all are saved, for a while.
Now if only that Obama care site would come up I would be OK.
Well at least I can say that my congressman held firm against the crap sammich.
Gasoline will be $5.00/gal by Christmas.
There is no longer an option for a political solution.
We are on the road to destruction.
It can’t be fixed. It can’t be changed. The people are too stupid.
We are heading into Weimar Republic circa 1933 territory here and the outcome is going to be very very ugly.
People are going to end up dead in large numbers before it is all over.
(Dear NSA busybody: The above is not a threat. It is merely a prediction and an observation, so go back to surfing kiddie porn, ok?)
This is an epic disappointment.
We had Obama and Reid on the ropes. They had nothing. The House gave them 14 (or was it 17) bills which funded everything in the government except Obamacare. The onus of the shutdown was on the Dems, despite what the left said, and most people were beginning to realize that.
All the Repukes had to do was stand shoulder to shoulder and not budge. They could have broken the will of the Dems if they’d only done that. They had the power of the purse on the House side, and all the Dems had was Dingy Hairy’s obstructionism on the other.
We were almost there, and like they’ve done so often in the past, the Republicans snatched defeat from the jaws of victory. Those here who remained pessimistic throughout this thing, have been vindicated. The Pubbies have dropped the ball at the end zone, resulting in a 100 yard Democrat run back for a touchdown, yet again.
And what did it cost Obama? Absolutely nothing.
There is a town in Texas named Weimar.
Are these the men and women who are going to protect us from government abuse of power?
Are these the men and women who will punish the IRS?
Are these the men and women who will stop NSA from spying on us?
I could go on and on and on but what is the point. Hitler has won again.
I used to tell everyone “I don’t care how much the government taxes me or charges for fees. I’ll just work harder and SHOW THEM!!!”
I’ve learned since then that we are but willing slaves in a world-wide debt-based economic system.
I’ve learned that there are those who we would call “filthy rich” that don’t really care how much currency they have. They understand something even deeper.
They know that the true measure of power in a sinful world is how much of the future labor of a citizenry that you can control.
Think about it. What would I do if I wanted to control your future labor?
I would do things like establishing a political system where I’m the largest contributor to those that will sell their souls for power. Where I’m the largest holder of media assets. Where I encourage activities for the masses where two things are pitted against each other (Republicans and Democrats for example) so that people can exert their excess non-labor energy towards the laughable “good fight” when I already know the outcome.
If I controlled this infrastructure then I could threaten the political leaders of every country in the world that I would literally shut down all of the financial clearinghouses immediately if they didn’t implement my desires. I could create economic good times like the “roaring 20’s” and “roaring 2000’s” where I would let anyone with a pulse sign a promissory note - knowing that I was going to collapse the money supply a few years later to steal all of the underlying assets.
Let’s get real. Everyone on FreeRepublic is complaining, threatening to march, threatening to “throw the bums out”, etc.
If I controlled what happens with the output of your future labor then I would just laugh at you - while you fought the enemies that I had set up beforehand to wear you out.
