Incredibly Stupid

The Republicans are talking about shutting down government next year if they are outrageously successful in the November elections, according to some guys at Hanaan's Diner

First thing that happens is no federal taxes will be sent in.

Second thing, Social Security is cut off, Veterans' benefits, and VA services are closed

Third thing is that some Vietnam vets go underground...

Interesting. Never thought I'd see the day. When right-wing idiots are actually serious about radically changing Social Security - which has run surpluses for the last quarter century, and continues to do so - we are talking wealth transfer of civil war dimensions.
This is no longer politics as usual; this is not culture war; this is not outrageous rhetoric: this is the first passage into civil war within our nation. Why should not the Rule of Law collapse along with everything else?
