Title: Save Liberty, Shut Down the Government

Congress ended the week by passing a continuing resolution keeping the government funded for one more week. This stopgap funding bill is designed to give Congress and the White House more time to negotiate a long-term spending bill. Passage of a long- term spending bill has been delayed over objections to Republican efforts to preserve Obamcare's key features but give states a limited ability to opt out of some Obamacare mandates.

This type of brinkmanship has become standard operating procedure on Capitol Hill. The drama inevitably ends with a spending bill being crafted behind closed doors by small groups of members and staffers and then rushed to the floor and voted on before most members have a chance to read it. These “omnibus” spending bills are a dereliction of one of Congress’s two most important duties — allocating spending. Of course, Congress long ago abandoned another primary duty — preventing presidents from launching military attacks without first obtaining a congressional declaration of war.

The uncomfortable question raised by Congress’s abrogation of these two key functions is whether a republican form of government is compatible with a welfare- warfare state. The answer seems to be “no.”

Congress’s dysfunctional spending process is an inevitable result of the government’s growth. It is simply unrealistic to expect Congress to fund the modern leviathan via a lengthy and open process that allows individual members to have some say in how government spends their constituents’ money. The dysfunctional spending process benefits the many politicians eager to avoid accountability for government spending. The rushed process allows these politicians to say they had to vote for the spending bills. Often, these big spending bills include a promise to cut spending in the future. Like tomorrow, the promised spending cuts are always a day away.

If government continues to expand, the economy will continue to stagnate, social tensions and violence will increase, and more power will be concentrated in the hands of the president, bureaucrats, and a select few members of Congress. The only way to avoid this is for Congress to shut down most of the federal government, starting with bringing the troops home and drastically cutting the military-industrial complex’s budget. Congress must also close all unconstitutional federal agencies and programs, and wind down federal entitlement programs. A good place to start is the Department of Education. The Federal Reserve must be audited and then ended.

The root of the current crisis is neither political nor economic but philosophical. Too many have bought into the lie that government can protect us from life’s misfortunes and stamp out evil around the world without endangering our liberty, our safety, and our prosperity. Convincing a critical mass of people to reject big government is key to our success.

The breakdown of the congressional appropriations process, combined with hyper- interventionism via the Federal Reserve and foreign policy, suggest we are in the last stages of the welfare-warfare state. Whether this system’s inevitable collapse completes our descent into authoritarianism or leads to a restoration of limited, constitutional government and free markets depends on how effective those of us who know the truth are in spreading the ideas of liberty.

America's broke, it's multitudinous agencies bloated with needless people is a joke. Shut it down immediately and clean house. Force the Democrat rats and their Republicrat allies out of the corners and shine the light of defeat on them!

Liberals are a lot like Slinkys, they're good for nothing but they bring a smile to your face as you shove them down the stairs.

They are in the ascendant. They have the power. Crony capitalists feed off of those huge budget, and the Republican Party is the party of crony capitalism.

There is no way forward now inside the political structure. The Republicans have just completely betrayed the conservatives. There is no coming back from this.

Then the time is now to recognize the fact that America is unable to be ruled by this republic form of government. More and more Washington, D. C. resembles Madrid in 1936.

America sorely needs a benevolent despot like Francisco Franco or Augusto Pinochet.

Not going to happen. There will be no right wing coup. We will have Democrat socialism, and become like Europe, and then we will change culturally into Latin America.

Los Estados Unidos Norte Americanos.

Which will at least be Catholic. Europe is headed towards Sharia.

the choice is clear, either the USA turns to CHRIST or revolution, If Donald signs the budget, there is no political solution left.

For, Nothing will change as long as the Ruling Political Class loves money, power, and sex with preteens more than they fear GOD.

And only we can make them fear GOD.

It is time to hunt down pedophiles.

Politicians keep talking about 'values' ,but no one ever talks about the end of 'virtue' in this nation now reduced to pitiful status.

They work diligently to remove God from the discourse forgetting that He is the ONE that actually has provided any measure of good that has and will happen to this nation that is now rapidly descending into the swamp.

That is the end result of 100 years of public education.

I would bet ten to one that when arrested for sedition, that excuse will not work for me, and unlike hillary, the baby raping infant sacrificing slut, clinton, I do not have a law degree.

What James Comeny did yesterday, was to make it a legal excuse, for the ruling political class, to say "I didn't know it was against the law."

Nothing will change in Washington or in the state capitals and major cities in each state as long as the Ruling Political Class loves money, power, and sex with preteens more than they fear GOD.

And it appears that nothing short of Patriots willing to fight, kill and if needs be die, can make that happen.

The nation has to be saved from the pansies we've elected to rule and ruin our lives and our children's' future.

Now, it does appear that nothing short of a revolution will solve the momentous dilemma that has been created. This is a Republic and not a democracy, but with our representatives being elected to life positions it's time to really drain the swamp.

After the dust settles, the capitol of the USA should be relocated to Omaha, Nebraska making it difficult for lobbyists to find the place. Those that do should be shot on sight. A vast number of Americans are either educated imbeciles, or they are the unwashed tattooed, know-nothing gaggle that are of absolutely no use to a dying nation. No poll ax should be levied, but an IQ test should be administered.

IF totalitarianism is what the remedy must be, then give us a benevolent despot.

and there should be a ten year sentence for fraudulent voting or encouraging fraudulent voting.
