Midknight Review -- new and revised: This headline about the spending bill passed through congress, yesterday, is not quite right:

The headline is this: Congressional leaders reach spending deal to avoid government shutdown . It should have read, Congressional leaders reach spending deal to avoid government shutdown just as they predicted.

Look, I am not a big fan of the government, but all this talk of governmental shutdown and resulting doom and gloom, has proven to be nothing more than chunky style barnyard, coming from the media. It is media rhetoric designed to sell news, and nothing more.

The spending bill passed, yesterday, was the 7th emergency bill passed during this year, alone. The reason why we have these "emergency" demands has to do with the fact that Democrat leadership has refused to pass an annual budget for the past three years. This is not a shared responsibility. It is the fault of just one party.

This nation has never functioned without a budget -- never before in American history.

All budgets begin in the House of Representatives. That is the law. While others can craft a budget proposal, all formal budgetary legislation has to begin in the House. With the 2008 election of our first radicalized government, that leadership decided to forego the legislative process that was the formal budget of this country. Result: 10 emergency "continuing resolutions" passed during that time. Instead of having two budget fights, the Democrats wanted to have 10 such battles, apparently.

This year, the GOP is in charge of the House, and, sure enough, that leadership worked up and passed a budget, sending it to the Senate for finalization. Instead of getting the job done, Hapless Harry Reid, for the third consecutive year, has tabled that bill, refusing to allow the Senate to complete its job.

Consequently, the government was about to run out of money, for the 7th time, this year.

Enough is enough. Folks need to tell Harry Reid to stop with this practice, and do he has failed to do, for the past three years.

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."
