Quoted from Libertarian4life

No, I meant that you don't have to worry because it would only affect people who work a 40 hour job.

You also shouldn't be bad mouthing the Democrats since you are a member of  the Rotterdam Democratic committee.

Well obviously you don't know what you are talking about on BOTH counts.  And - again - I notice that while you claim to be Libertarian you really don't value the U.S. Constitution.  I will continue to exercise my Constitutional right to express my political views.

Quoted from DemocraticVoiceOfReason

So your view as a Libertarian is that any no Americans should be concerned that ...(insert any issue here...)
because of the incompetence of Obama and the Democratic Caucus in Congress?

The Libertarian view is that the government should have never been involved in non-government issues.

The government favoritism caused the millions to not be able to afford coverage.

The government caused the collapsing health care industry.

The Libertarian viewpoint is for the government to mind it's own business.

I never once tried to stop you.

I just point out that you support local socialist corporate welfare.

At the expense of the taxpayers.

And you sit and call the taxpayers names for not wanting to be taxed to death.

You should check the date when a website was last updated before you go spouting your foolishness.

So, quoting the Rotterdam Democratic Committee is spouting foolishness?

Their failure to be accurate or current in their data presented to the public is noted.

One day, an old professor of the School of Public Management in France, was invited to lecture on the topic of “Efficient Time Management” in front of a group of 15 executive managers representing the largest, most successful companies in America. The lecture was one in a series of 5 lectures conducted in one day, and the old professor was given 1 hr to lecture.

Standing in front of this group of elite managers, who were willing to write down every word that would come out of the famous professor’s mouth, the professor slowly met eyes with each manager, one by one, and finally said, “we are going to conduct an experiment”.

jar of rocks
From under the table that stood between the professor and the listeners, the professor pulled out a big glass jar and gently placed it in front of him. Next, he pulled out from under the table a bag of stones, each the size of a tennis ball, and placed the stones one by one in the jar. He did so until there was no room to add another stone in the jar. Lifting his gaze to the managers, the professor asked, “Is the jar full?” The managers replied, “Yes”.

The professor paused for a moment, and replied, “Really?”

Once again, he reached under the table and pulled out a bag full of pebbles. Carefully, the professor poured the pebbles in and slightly rattled the jar, allowing the pebbles to slip through the larger stones, until they settled at the bottom. Again, the professor lifted his gaze to his audience and asked, “Is the jar full?”

At this point, the managers began to understand his intentions. One replied, “apparently not!”

“Correct”, replied the old professor, now pulling out a bag of sand from under the table. Cautiously, the professor poured the sand into the jar. The sand filled up the spaces between the stones and the pebbles.

Yet again, the professor asked, “Is the jar full?”
Without hesitation, the entire group of students replied in unison, “NO!”

“Correct”, replied the professor. And as was expected by the students, the professor reached for the pitcher of water that was on the table, and poured water in the jar until it was absolutely full. The professor now lifted his gaze once again and asked, “What great truth can we surmise from this experiment?”

With his thoughts on the lecture topic, one manager quickly replied, “We learn that as full as our schedules may appear, if we only increase our effort, it is always possible to add more meetings and tasks.”

“No”, replied the professor. The great truth that we can conclude from this experiment is:

If we don’t put all the larger stones in the jar first, we will never be able to fit all of them later.


The auditorium fell silent, as every manager processed the significance of the professor’s words in their entirety.

The old professor continued, “What are the large stones in your life? Health? Family? Friends? Your goals? Doing what you love? Fighting for a Cause? Taking time for yourself?”

What we must remember is that it is most important to include the lager stones in our lives, because if we don’t do so, we are likely to miss out on life altogether. If we give priority to the smaller things in life (pebbles & sand), our lives will be filled up with less important things, leaving little or no time for the things in our lives that are most important to us. Because of this, never forget to ask yourself,

What are the Large Stones in your Life? And once you identify them, be sure to put them first in your “Jar of Life”.

With a warm wave of his hand, the professor bid farewell to the managers, and slowly walked out of the room.

"With a budget deal still elusive and a deadline approaching on raising the debt ceiling,
Speaker John A. Boehner has told colleagues that he is determined to prevent a federal default
and is willing to pass a measure through a combination of Republican and Democratic votes".

One GOP lawmaker said Boehner "had said he would be willing to violate the so-called Hastert
Rule if necessary to pass a debt-limit increase... Other Republicans also said Thursday that they
got the sense that Mr. Boehner would do whatever was necessary to ensure that the country
did not default on its debt."

NY Times

Quoted Text

"The only thing preventing people from going back to work and basic research starting
back up and farmers and small business owners getting their loans, the only thing that is preventing
all that from happening right now, today, in the next five minutes is that Speaker John Boehner
won't even let the bill get a yes or no vote because he doesn't want to anger the extremists
in his party,"

President Barack Hussein Obama on the Govt Shutdown

I wonder what he'll tell those 200 jobs being let go at GE?????

"sorry,,,budget or no budget they're getting rid of you...hahahahahaha....but guess what you asse$, I get to keep
getting paid and sleep in the white house, you stupid sheople"

non-essential means just that....they signed on the dotted line when they took the job....and at any given time the government
can pick and choose who/what is essential.....

just like minimum wage means just that....minimum/bottom/last etc......

just like politician means just that.......

The only thing keeping the government shut down is an intransigent president and an incompetent Democratic Congressional caucus who want to protect their perks (exemption from Obamacare, big salaries and hefty retirement packages) and stay on the good side of the special interest groups who finance their campaigns and lavish lifestyles.

How the GOP painted itself into a corner

Quoted Text

"Republicans are looking to make a budget deal now because they want to
escape the political nightmare they've created for themselves.
They blustered into a shutdown that corrodes their party brand and cracks the door
to flip the House, which ought to be otherwise impregnable in a low-turnout midterm
election.
They can't figure out how to back down without winning concessions the Democrats have
no incentive to give them.
Then they need to lift the debt ceiling, where they've raised even loftier expectations,
and where the Democrats are even more determined not to be held hostage. Their only
way out is to fold everything into a negotiation, give the Democrats something, and hold
up whatever they win as a trophy that made it all worthwhile."
