Midknight Review -- new and revised: The biggest story of the week is not the U.N. mess.

We have a "news flash." The House just failed to pass the next "continuing resolution." Eric Cantor, second in command in the House predicted the bill would pass, but the House, surprisingly, failed to garner the 217 votes necessary by 23 votes (195 to 235).

Once again and out of the blue, the government is on the cusp of shutting down. Understand that we are stuck with "continuing resolutions" because the Democrats in congress refuse to pass an annual budget. October will begin the third consecutive fiscal year this government will be run without an approved budget. The House, under Republican control, has passed a budget and sent it to the Senate. Harry Reid put that budget on the back burner and will use the ensuing "crisis" to blame the GOP. With the first two years, the 111th congress (run by Reid and Pelosi), never produced so much as an outline for a budget. And now, the new (112th) is doing what it can, but the GOP controls only the House.

If you are asking, "Why, all of a sudden, are we having to vote on one bill after another to avoid government shutdown" -- this (the above) is why . . . . . . . . . . . . and it ain't the fault of the GOP.

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."
