Friday Spotlight: Shutdown Revue Special

SADMILLIE will have to wait, alas.

I caught a post by butterdezillion on the Shutdown, and wondered what some others I've spotlighted have been doing. So I decided to survey their reactions to the shutdown.

This was a lot harder than I thought, though - a few no longer had accounts, some hadn't posted in months or years, and a surprising number had just posted about other stuff, and not even paid attention to all the drama on Wed. night.

But, here are some of our favorite Freepers Freepin' it up about the shutdown's shutdown:

Conspiratorial butterdezillion kinda reins it in, relatively, and concentrates on more mainstream BS grievance pushing:

We found out from Benghazi what Obama would do when he got the “3am phone call”.

Well, if the dramatic effect of the immediate funding crisis is over now, it may be a good time to say exactly what we learned: that when the chips are down, Obama will decide that vets, cancer research and treatment, national parks and monuments, Catholic services for military personnel, bereaved military families being able to see the casket come home, paying the nation’s debts, Amber Alert, food stamps, etc are all less important than having his own chef to feed him arugula.

He said outright that he didn’t care how long the shut-down lasted. He alone had the discretion to decide which services are “essential”. The only reason to pass the CR’s was to make sure that Obama couldn’t call any of those things non-essential. Because Congress didn’t stop Obama from calling all the above “non-essential”, Obama went ahead and did it. He threw ALL that stuff under the bus.

Tiny hate-ball sport looks forward to the Commies killing all the Democrats now that they've won:

If, as history demonstrates, the past dictates the future, the Democrats that made possible for the Socialists to take over the Country will be given a free one way trip to hell once the Socialists consolidate their power. It happened in Russia. It happened in Germany. And in all probability it happened in Communist China and Cuba. it won't be a matter of "if" , just "when". Like Monday following Sunday. See if they are as happy when that happens an they are now.

In closing, when I registered to vote, I registered as a Democrat. We parted company over abortion, gun control, the homosexual agenda, and when I realized that the Democrat Party was an arm for International socialism. I will just keep what principles I have left after voting for John Mc Cain and Mitt Romney.

Name caller rcrngroup is keeping his powder dry waiting for Civil War II and/or Jesus:

Same for me. Actually I am convinced that the only thing that will stop our socialist-nazi government is for a Great Bloody Battle CW II to break out, and to live or try to survive with the consequences. I believe it is entirely possible that the USSA of Amerika will break up into 3-4 regional countries.

Whatever happens, it doesn't look good for conservative, patriotic, Christian Americans. After seeing the Park Svc Rangers eagerly putting up barricades & threatening anyone to cross over, and seeing dozens of thug jack booted police/Secret Svc/Park Police standing by and eagerly ready to beat the shit out of 85-96 yr old WW II veterans in wheel chairs & walkers, I have no confidence that our military or LEO will stand against the 0dumb0 gubmint. The socialist-nazi, liberal demoRATs will LOVE to mow down & massacre any Christians or conservatives or patriots. Massacring their opposition is what really gets these socialist-nazi thugs off (like 0dumb0!

We may have lots of gun owners but most of us are law abiding citizens and don't really relish individually taking on heavily armed & armored SWAT teams from multiple govt agencies. We are screwed, but maybe the Rapture will take place soon and then all hell brake loose on earth (which it will for the next 7 years).

"Obama = Poop and butts" guy Da Coyote is also keeping his powder dry, waiting for crash. And then, the executions!

Power dry, folks.

We’re full stall, spin to follow shortly.

There will be a crash.

Remember to keep track of ALL liberal politicians.

After our recovery, we’ll want some justice.

Very quick justice.

Giant hater of all non-Freepers hal ogen is making up new meanings like Humpty Dumpty, and citing Alice in Wonderland!

Ironic that our country was invaded by our country. Alice In Wonderland has nothing on today’s reality.

Angry Christian LibLieSlayer is hunting RINOS...

YOU ARE ALL CORRECT... NEVER AGAIN... WE ARE GOING TO DO EVERYTHING THAT WE CAN AS A CONSERVATIVE CAUCUS TO ELIMINATE YOUR PRESENCE FROM ANY FORM OF GOVERNANCE IN AMERICA EVER AGAIN. IT IS RINO SEASON AND THERE IS NO BAG LIMIT AND WE ARE COMING DIRECTLY AFTER ALL OF YOU RINOS. OH... AND BTW... WE DESPISE THE VERY AIR THAT YOU BREATHE. WE ARE THE VOTERS... BE AFRAID... BE VERY AFRAID! WE WILL ALSO NOT BE KIND IN VICTORY. WHAT COMES AROUND GOES AROUND AND PAYBACK IS A BITCH.

Super-racist IbJensen is yelling about taxes and not black people, for once!

It’s so difficult for those of us who have lived long lives to understand how Americans can elect garbage that is openly ruining our nation, our lives and our savings.

Those who occupy the halls of Congress are, with only a few exceptions, openly complicit in the ruination of our once wealthy and productive nation. These politicians are, by and large, utterly devoid of patriotism or backbone. They are, rather, self-serving weasels who gleefully suck up the contents of the trough.

Startups like Facebook, Twitter, et al, do not begin to make up for the gigantic transfer of our manufacturing base due chiefly to the egregious taxation policies. These policies have shoved our nation down the list of free nations.

Not being able to understand this rapid transformation of America, I am of the belief that America is ruled by soulless agnostics, or more likely Godless zombies.

And of course, hyperbolic sloganeer Diogenesis prays for terrorists to take over.

The little piggies screw
the US Constitution AND the American public, but fear not:
al Qaeda will be armed.
Narcoterrorists will be armed.
The border will be left open.
Congress will get kickbacks every way possible,
and not be under the “laws” they pass.

Americans have NEVER hated their corrupt tyrannical government as much as now.
