I need a chip installed in my phone, computer, and TV that filters out ignorance, or at least prevents me from visiting the wrong websites.It's my own fault I guess, in wanting to see both sides of things. It's really mentally draining to see how willfully stupid so much of society has become in terms of politics - the very worst of it being both excessive and extreme patriotism that's really just racism, and some Bible-toting "Christians" who seem to have unlearned vast parts of the Bible that deal with helping the less fortunate, the sick, and the poor, and think that the country was actually founded on religious ideals. It wasn't, and facts support that.
My mind goes into shutdown mode when I try and rationalize how people back up their thought that the US was founded on religious beliefs, rather than founded to allow people to believe whatever they want, and NOT let religion fuel decisions. It's been up to individual leaders throughout our history to choose how religion affects their individual decision making; it hasn't been the political basis for how they should make a decision, ever, and it never should be, because THAT is indeed written in the Constitution. It's just so twisted how a group of people turn one cheek and try to make you believe they're the most God-fearing, toe-the-line Christian one minute, and the next they're opposing anything that looks like helping someone in need, someone who is sick, or trying to I'm so tired of willful ignorance and willful stupidity, and of this bubble that people surround themselves with to support their beliefs. Again, I probably bring it on myself by reading the wrong websites, but we're suffering through such idiocy in this country that it's just too much to wrap your mind around sometimes.

Not sure I get it, what exactly is a shutdown? Why?
Is it simply because the funding isn't backing gov't jobs? If that's the case, aren't they all considered "public servants", and business should go on as usual whether they get paid or not?- did you just decide to post without reading anything in this thread?doesnotexist

"The government closed down Tuesday because Republicans have insisted on delaying or dismantling the Affordable Care Act in the legislation Congress must pass to fund government operations;"
http://www.cbsnews.com/8301-250_…
So is the 'Affordable Care Act' about providing healthcare, or a facade meant to raise the cost of government because it can't afford itself anymore? Funny how media spins this as a bi-partisan issue..
- The media is wrong, it's not bi-partisan. It's a clear effort from the right to push their ideological agenda.IRNlun6
