Dang, American Thinker stole badgers thread! Shut It Down!By J.B. Williams There should be no debate over spending in D.C. at this point. Over the last seventy years, our federal government, behaving as an unconstitutional supreme central power, has sent the most productive and prosperous nation on earth on the path toward third-world status. Bickering over a few billion in planned deficit spending above $1.65 trillion in just the next year -- when the nation is already more than $14 trillion in unsustainable debt threatening the very existence of our dollar -- is the definition of insanity. Democrats are forcing a so-called shutdown in their effort to keep spending money we don't have. Republicans are calling for only a symbolic level of spending cuts. Nobody in Washington, D.C. seems serious about ending the fiscal insanity. Even the president's bipartisan debt panel is recommending deficit spending for at least another twenty-five years. I say, shut it down! The federal government has done as much to harm the union of states as it has ever done to improve freedom and liberty in America. We will be better off without a federal government, with each state able to fund and govern itself better than the Fed ever could. Extreme threats demand extreme measures, and nothing threatens the future freedom and prosperity of the United States more than our own federal government. Enemies beyond, we can deal with. It's the enemy within which threatens us most today. It's time to shut it down and reset. Continue Reading: www.americanthinker.com/2011/04/shut_it_down.html

"I say, shut it down! The federal government has done as much to harm the union of states as it has ever done to improve freedom and liberty in America. We will be better off without a federal government, with each state able to fund and govern itself better than the Fed ever could."
"Government is not reason; it is not eloquence. It is force. And force, like fire, is a dangerous servant and a fearful master." George Washington
Government is a necessary evil but a centralized Federal government is a recipe for failure and the founders knew it that is why the sought to keep the power not necessarliy in the States but in the People. At least in the states that power is more localized. the more local the base of power can be kept the better chance there is that the People can exercise control.

America spoke up in Nov. we elected these reps. because they ran on conservative principals now they need to produce on there first order of business we are in this deep and even 60 or 70 bil. will only be a drop in the bucket America may have spoken smokeeater but that does not mean the criminals in d.c. are going to listen. Why would they? We have not MADE them do anything in generations. Were we really naive' enough to think a simple election would change their behavior in how they "govern" us or whether or not they do their VERY SIMPLE jobs of governing as dictated in the Constitution? HOPEFULLY these latest egregious actions by the repulikrats will be enough to wake folks up to the fact that NEITHER party is working for us and STOP voting for them!!! It is time to return to truly Constitutional government, one in which TRUE freedom abounds and governmental interference and outright thuggery ceases to exist! This could have been a slam dunk for the republikrats if they were truly any different than the demoncraps. 1) They should have pounded the message that this was a budget that the demoncraps should have and could have easily passed by LAST October as they SHOULD have! 2) The republikrats had the will of the people on their side, because they were brought to power in the house. 3) The republikrats SHOULD have pounded the message of the impending financial doom if cuts were not made. It does not take a genius to figure out that the current path we are on will lead to chaos, meltdown, and very likely, a collapse of life as we know it if SERIOUS cuts are not made NOW, not later. Now we could argue that there is little real difference between $61 billion (the republikrats original "draconian" cuts) and $39 billion (the amount the republikrats succumbed to), because in the grand scheme of things this amount of cuts is minuscule and do not mean a thing compared to the amount of cuts that will be necessary if we are to have ANY chance of surviving as a nation. I find it amazing that the American people are not up in arms over the fact that these criminals were arguing over this tiny level of cuts and funding to entities that should NOT be getting ANY government money in the first place! We must have truly become a nation of idiots, morons, and fools.

stoner44magnum I won't bore you with the platituds about the definition of what is crazy. When a person goes to the documents that were used to get this ball rolling and sees that where the once proud and powerful UNITED STATES OF AMERICA Corp was actually incorporated to manage Washington DC, and represent the interest of the Sovereign State republics, and still we rush down to the voting booths when we are directed and select someone else we don't know anything about to do our job and make our decisions. After all it is the "American way" I mailed back my voter registration card to the county. My personal opinion was of no importance to anyone except the bean counters.
Register (fr the Latin Regis) to abandon to the Sovereign. Thus by not abandoning my vote to the Sovereign (king or Queen) to use. I will put a hole in their plan. Then on election day when some horses behind is selected by whom ever and he screws the people I will have a clear conscience. More important what if 1,000 or more people a month mailed back their voter registration card or a letter and stated "I ____(your name)_________________ do officially demand that my name be struck, deleted, and removed from the registered voter's rolls of the County of ___________________, State of ________________________.
signed:_______________________________________________ without prejudice UCC-1-308 (old 1-207) Just a thought!
