Evert day when I was a kid in school we all faced the flag and recited the Pledge of Allegiance and in it we said :
"I pledge Allegiance to the flag
of the United States of America
and to the Republic for which it stands,
one nation under God, indivisible,
with Liberty and Justice for all."
and to the Republic for which it stands,
one nation under God, indivisible,
with Liberty and Justice for all."
Indivisible.. so much for that. Unfortunately, we are now a nation divided now between the struggle for power between the true Masters of Evil

- Republican led congress shut-down 800,000 federal jobs and refused to raise the debt-ceiling as they want the the elimination - or at least the delay -- of Obamacare. Which would hinder government efforts to provide health insurance to 15% of the U.S. population that doesn't have coverage.
- To our President's credit he has not backed down to these weak bully tactics by saying "I'm not going to negotiate with you until you reopen the government, but go to your members, find out what you need to do to get that part done and let's try to make some progress.'"
Yeah I put my favorite rapper in this political blog. Why? To re-enforce that the Face of America has changed. We are Republic. Share the ball. Your embarrassing the Nation. STOP
- The shutdown could cost the still-struggling U.S. economy about $1 billion a week in pay lost by furloughed federal workers. And that's only the tip of the iceberg. The total economic impact is likely to be at least 10 times greater than the simple calculation of lost wages of federal workers, said Brian Kessler, economist with Moody's Analytics. His firm estimates that a three- to four-week shutdown would cost the economy about $55 billion.
- To make matters more hypocritical and divisive, pay checks have been coming to the 533 current members of Congress while most of the federal workforce goes without pay.
These assholes simply do not fucking care about America. They are acting like spoiled children and are still getting paid. They live in a static bubble. Face some live pitching buddy.
- Yesterday, the Republicans caved in, opened talks, "After initially demanding changes to or the elimination of Obama's signature health care reform plan, Republicans have more recently focused on extending the debt ceiling for up to six weeks while negotiating on spending and other issues during a continued government shutdown.
- But as is their way, Republicans spun the story "This is a republic, not a dictatorship, negotiations are a requirement, not an option."All we’re asking for is to sit down and have a conversation,"John Boehner speaker of the house of representatives, He went on further to say "There’s no reason to make it more difficult to bring people to the table. There’s no boundaries here. There’s nothing on the table, there’s nothing off the table. I’m trying to do everything I can to bring people together and have a conversation. It's up to the President now"... .
