Midknight Review -- new and revised: Let's put the threat of "governmental shutdown" into historic context, shall we?

Let's put the threat of "governmental shutdown" into historic context, shall we?

If a shutdown occurs, Social Security checks will continue to be sent out and the military will continue to be funded.

Understand that under Jimmy Carter, his government saw shutdowns each and every year, on average lasting 11 days. Under Reagan, 6 of his 8 year term saw brief periods of "government shutdown."

Notice who the fear mongers are in all this. There will be no shutdown, unless the Dems think they think they can score political points. With the current angst against spending, many in the Democrat Party know of the risk of forcing a shutdown. This is not the mid 1990s when the GOP allowed a shutdown and took one on the chin because of that decision. The people have made is abundantly clear, they want financial change and are willing to work for the defeat of those politicians who do not join them in this effort.

Time for talk is over. Time for action is here . . . . . . . . . . and we have the power of the ballot box.

The Stated Nonsense from the Left now includes these Progressive goals:

July 2, 2008, Obama had this to say: "We cannot continue to rely only on our military in order to achieve the national security objectives that we've set. We've got to have a civilian national security force that's just as powerful, just as strong, just as well-funded."

MICHELLE OBAMA: "Barack knows that we are going to have to make sacrifices; we are going to have to change our conversation; we're going to have to change our traditions, our history; we're going to have to move into a different place as a nation."

“ . . . . . . they have become a generation of activists possessed with that most American of ideas – that people who love their country can change it.” -- Obama the Radical

On September 30, Van Jones told MSNBC "I think everybody should hold onto your seats. October is going to be the turning point when it comes to the progressive fight back."
