Republicans’ Government Shutdown
Americans are not stupid – They know who is shutting down their government
- Leader in name only
How many people have to suffer, and how far do we have to allow this country to sink before the lucid majority stands up and says enough. A government is not some generic entity that is just there to do its thing. The government is responsible for the welfare of the country and its citizens. This includes, defense, national security, economic prosperity, foreign policy, economic development, health and education, infrastructures, liberty and freedom, and more. When States representing 15% of the country send a group of people to the Capital to dismantle the government, in reality the basic goal is to cleanse the country of people they feel are not deserving of life, liberty, protection, or the pursuit of happiness from the government under the Bill of Rights. Therefore, in their minds, the government must be stopped from ensuring that all citizens are cared for, at least to the degree of basic human needs. And if the government persists on caring for all citizens, they are prepared to take all measure and stop the government at all costs, including engaging in political maneuvers that carry the very real possibilities of crashing the ship of State and leaving the citizens of the country hanging over a precipice. That is the nature of suicide missions: If you cannot have it or change it to your image through legitimate means, such as elections, established legislative processes, civil debates, or good faith negotiations, blow it up.
With the President’s Affordable Health Care Law entering its final phase of implementation on Tuesday October 1, the Tea Party mania reached its summit. As fate would have it, the implementation of this last phase of the AHCA happens to coincide with the end of the federal government’s fiscal year on September 30th, which means that the government needs a new budget in order to operate. Since the Republicans have been preventing the government from operating on nothing but continuing resolutions, rather than working with the Democrats and the President to pass a budget for the country, Tea Party craven Tea Party activists saw this as their opportunity to extort the President and deprive the uninsured in a high noon stand-off in some sort of a combined surreal episode of Gun Smoke and The OK Corral in the United States House of Representatives. Except that their tactic is so insidious that they only have one ending to this script: the death of the Affordable Health Care Act.
What is even more outrageous is the campaign of lies that these people have mounted against this law. After they referred to the law as some sort of thing of the scary kind, that was going to march upon cities and destroy everything in its path, they have the gull to then say “the American people’ do not like the law. These people could not care less about the American people. They only care about their narrow, backward, stone-age agenda, which they have tried to disguise underneath phony rhetoric to oppress women, eliminate the poor from society, and take rights away from Blacks and other minorities, and LGBT people. Those hypocrites are depleting the O-Zone layers by blowing stinking hot air about big government, while they seek to put a guard in doctors’ offices to make sure that all pregnant women carry their babies to terms, even if that means the mother dies during childbirth. These are the same idiots who so believe that women lie about being raped, that they have passed laws requiring rape victims to report to the police within 24 hours to prove that they were really raped.
This is no surprise, as most in this crowd do not believe in the art, education, science, mathematics, or facts, and think that the United Nations was created to take over the world. How anyone can believe in anything those people say is incomprehensible. If they truly believe that the law would not work, then why are they so frenziedly trying to prevent its implementation? They fabricate numbers and statistics; they fabricate stories; and they fabricate facts. Why would anyone in their right mind listen to anything those people have to stay? The so-called “job-killing” law propaganda was put together by their partners in crime in big business, who want to continue to still workers’ benefits to line up their pockets. Companies have been keeping more and more profits for themselves by hiring part-time workers to avoid paying benefits for several decades. This form of industrial and vulture capitalist rip off has been going on for the past three or four decades, and has nothing to do with the new health care law. The idea that the Affordable Health Care law is going to kill jobs is a farce. Greedy executives have been using all sorts of schemes and loopholes to deny employees benefits and deprive them of job security for years. This latest Republican feat is no different from their vicious attack on the President’s citizenship. Republicans not only lie, they never deal in good faith. They lie about the poor; they lie about minorities; they lie about the President of the United States. They lie with a straight face. The only thing that can be in doubt here is whether or not they are more ignorant than they are pathological liars.
This one more time that this country’s interests are at stake, the media must stop encouraging and supporting these people by sticking bigger and bigger microphones into their faces to help them amplify their lies. They have neither intellect nor honor. Whatever the backwoods those individuals are from, they are no lawmakers, but rather anarchists who went to Washington to destroy the government of the United States, and with it the entire country. No, patriots would threaten to bring down their country’s economy or do anything to hurt its citizenry. Patriots do not engage in shenanigans that they know will inevitably hurt hundreds of thousands of their fellow patriots, if not millions. Patriots do not seek to rein fear and uncertainty, anxiety or hardship to the nation’s people; or do patriots sneakily seek to subvert the results of duly conducted elections, because they failed in stealing such elections, lying their way through them, or using dirty money to buy such elections. 
How do you call something a failure that has no yet been tried and tested? As for glitches, it should be expected that any new program will have glitches, especially a program of this proportion. To prove that these people are actual fraud, they are now maneuvering in every each corner to make the program fail. For one thing, some of those backwards state governors are preventing the people in charge of helping individuals to sing up for the service from succeeding. Those people are called navigators, and the gun-trotting tea party activists in Congress are now training their fire on those so-called navigators, demanding background checks and calling them unprepared. In fact, 12 states have passed laws to make it impossible for navigators to do their jobs under the health care law, which is to help people sign up for insurance. This will have the effect of increasing insurance costs for people, so that they can around and said, see these high costs are the results of that terrible “Obamacare.” There is also the idiotic repetition that the program is not ready for “prime time.” What exactly is that supposed to mean? This is not some kind of play or a joke. Health insurance is a serious business. People die for lack of health insurance coverage. This is about instituting a health care program that will help people who could not previously obtain health insurance coverage to get it through an open and simplified process or through government subsidy, if they do not meet the income requirement to pay out of pocket for their own health insurance. Why would anyone give these foaming-at-the-mouth Tea Party zealots any credence when they have proved themselves to not be credible? There is absolutely no need to show any respect for people who do not respect or care for anyone who is not a part of their cannibalistic crowd.
