"House Republicans ... said Saturday they were not worried that extending the battle with the Senate might send the nation spiraling into a shutdown." (http://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2013/09/house-gop-delay-obamacare-or-well-shut-the-government-down/280096/)

"Hours before the votes, cheers erupted in a closed-door GOP meeting." (http://www.nationaljournal.com/congress/house-republicans-pass-obamacare-delay-one-step-closer-to-shutdown-20130928)

"People are probably going to realize they can live with a lot less government than what they thought they needed." (http://www.democraticunderground.com/1014607625)

"I said, you know, like 9/11: Let's roll" (http://www.newyorker.com/online/blogs/johncassidy/2013/09/government-shutdown-gop-extremists-defy-description.html)

"This is my idea of fun." (http://www.democraticunderground.com/10023757871)

Not gonna lie. The sky has yet to fall on me. I am okay with the feds not working. In fact. I prefer it. The more they work, the worse off we are.

[Cigar]

I'm just guessing ... can't be for sure, but it's possible that not all Government Employes are registered Democrats ... yet. :grin:

[Ethereal]

The American people should start rioting any moment now...

Then they should work for a more stable company. I would choose to work for a company I knew was solid, not insolvent.

Yep. They HAVE to get the government running or else people will realize they didn't feel the pain of it being shut down. That's the only reason Democrats are pissed right now.

What if people realize they don't need park rangers to take payment to drive into a park or don't need DHS agents violating their rights?

[Alyosha]

lol. :)

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA--wait, they're spending my imaginary money.

[Alyosha]

I love how the Democraps are trying to frame this is "Republicans" not liking an election outcome or partisan politics when Obamacare exists because they decided not to compromise and vote something through without Republicans.

Goose-Gander...hahahaha, dimwits.

They didn't win 2010 and take the House? They didn't secure it last year?

News to me.

[Ethereal]

Or the imaginary election Republicans thought they won. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

They won hundreds of elections and have a majority in the House of Representatives, which is the most populist of all the branches of the federal government. Pretending like they don't exist only makes you look delusional.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA

you're kidding, right, Alyosha?

mormons voted 80% to 19% for bush over kerry; and 78% to 21% for romney over obama (though i'd think that was to be expected).

I make a mean beet soup, too. Mom's is best though.

re: apartments
Ethereal pushed me to move because of how dangerous the neighborhood had gotten. Still, I loved my view.

i love borsht. my mom makes a good one. the salad i have to get at cherry hill gourmet.

i guess when you walk out of the area where the apartments are, brighton can get a bit rough.

Borsht is very good. My ex did a good job with it, and lots of other Russian foods. Never got into the pickled fish.....

oh no... creamed herring is amazing.

and whitefish salad is truly one of my favorite things.

i do good blintzes...

and i remember my grandmother making gefilte fish for the holidays... she had this huge wooden bowl and a double bladed thing that she chopped the fish with (i can't for the life of me remember what it's called right now).

No to the fish! But I grew up south west of New Orleans and my father and I would fish on weekends. We ate fish at least 3 times a week. Since I moved away I rarely eat fish. I was in Istanbul in 2009 and I did order fish and it came with the head. I put a salad over the head before I could eat it. I was in Iceland, and I don't think I had any fish whatsoever- and no puffin. I probably had lamb for 3 meals per day.

i don't eat a lot of red meat.... mostly chicken, turkey, fish. but i only eat tuna, salmon, tilapia and dover sole and i don't eat anything with bones or with the head... or skin.

(herring is different... that doesn't count as fish).

in istanbul and greece i ate mostly vegetable dishes..... spanikopita and the tomato/cucumber salad with the feta cheese and the herbs on top. mmmmmmm.

[AmazonTania]

The Market does not care that the government has shut down.

It really doesn't. Perhaps this should happen more often.

I eat red meat when I can get grass fed meat. I had some pretty good meat dishes in Istanbul, but I did stick with vegetarian for the most part. This was the best place (http://www.tripadvisor.com/Restaurant_Review-g293974-d697960-Reviews-Sarnic_Restaurant-Istanbul.html)to eat by far.

I was given inscisors for eating more than rabbit food....

So ... how's that working 4-yea today? :laugh:

Is this your way of admitting that your earlier statement was incorrect, partisan blather? I didn't vote for any Republicans, myself, or any Democrats, either, because I refuse to legitimate the system by actively participating in it. I advocate a purposeful and passive withdrawal from the state, but I can still recognize that within the context of the federal constitution there are three separate and co-equal branches of government, and that the House of Representatives is given the power of appropriation by the constitution, but for some reason you only care about the results of elections when a Democrat wins, otherwise, you pretend like legitimate opposition doesn't even exist within the government, or that they have no lawful right to oppose the sacred DNC agenda. How dare Republicans who were elected by their constituents try to use the federal government to implement their political agenda! Only Democrats are allowed, it says so in the Constitution... :rollseyes:

[Cthulhu]

Well, you'd be surprised actually. Some are little more than morons governed by a higher intelligence.

Usually they swing conservative, but you mention anything libertarianesque to them and they shut down - most of them that is.

that's actually too bad. They had a real pioneer thing going for them once upon a time.

[Dr. Who]

Borsht is very good. My ex did a good job with it, and lots of other Russian foods. Never got into the pickled fish.....I love pickled herring, borscht, and Pierogi being half Polish. In fact I would eat them all in the same meal!

@Mr. Evil (http://thepoliticalforums.com/member.php?u=872)

Believe me, I see many of the people that go to my church and wonder why they are even there. It is really somewhat demoralizing.

But the LDS church is like almost any other church when large numbers are concerned. You have the following-

Your inactive members.
Your Faux members(______ in Name only).
The socialites.
The leadership.
The worker bees.
The busy bodies.
And many more types not worth enumerating...

And those who actually get it.

The latter are almost always the minority in every faith known about.
