Rep. Marlin Stutzman (R-IN): "We're not going to be disrespected. We have to get something out of this. And I don't know what that even is."I just went looking for the quote and found the WaPo column that I linked to. It does a good job in pointing out that the side screaming that it wants respect has been the side that has never given it.
The business community is going batshit, for they see nothing good coming out of both the shutdown and a debt default. They may be right, but I would want to ask this of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce: How has electing all of those clowns worked out for you? You guys poured millions upon millions of dollars into electing those fools and now they are poised to wreck the economy. Did you get your money's worth from them?
Well, they said "the South will rise again". Seems that their version of "rising" will be to pull the nation down. Because like it or not, these are pretty much the same group of traitors who tried to rip the country apart in 1861. They're the same group that enacted Jim Crow laws, that battled over ending segregation.
And now they're trying to destroy the country through the use of tactics that can only be described as "legislative terrorism".
Back in the day when the Navy may or may not have had tactical nuclear weapons, the doctrine in dealing with any hostage-taking attempt to gain access was pretty stark: No negotiations. If it was necessary to kill the hostages to gain control, then go for it. That changed, slightly, to allowing a consideration of the welfare of the hostages, but the same bottom line prevailed: The hostage-takers were not to get what they wanted.
I don't see a way out of here.
A bunch a Fredo's...
