Today there is a New Confederacy, an insurgent political force that has captured the Republican Party and is taking up where the Old Confederacy left off in its efforts to bring down the federal government. No shelling of a Union fort, no bloody battlefield clashes, no Good Friday assassination of a hated president — none of that nauseating, horrendous stuff. But the behavior is, nonetheless, malicious and appalling. The New Confederacy, as churlish toward President Obama as the Old Confederacy was to Lincoln, has accomplished what its predecessor could not: It has shut down the federal government, and without even firing a weapon or taking 620,000 lives, as did the Old Confederacy’s instigated Civil War. Not stopping there, however, the New Confederacy aims to destroy the full faith and credit of the United States, setting off economic calamity at home and abroad — all in the name of “fiscal sanity.” washingtonpost.com

They spend so much money and time trying to stop progress [of course they don't see it as progress] and turn the country into what their states look like, many of which are close to third world in stature. I'm not sure what they're thinking, or how they're thinking it. They might as well be space aliens. Ted Cruz's next goal as stated this AM................prevent the debt ceiling from getting raised. And he means it too.

How are his tactics any different from those used by Hitler........and yes, I am going there. Ted Cruz Says He Has 'Not Remotely' Hurt Republican Image With Shutdown Fight The Huffington Post \| By Matt Sledge Posted: 10/06/2013 10:31 am EDT \| Updated: 10/06/2013 11:49 am EDT Speaking on CNN's "State of the Union" on Sunday, Republican Sen. Ted Cruz (Texas) rejected the suggestion that members of his own party are unhappy with him for pursuing a fight over Obamacare into a government shutdown. Asked by host Candy Crowley whether his actions have "hurt the Republican Party brand," Ted Cruz said no. "Not remotely, but I also think far too many people are worried about politics" in the shutdown fight, Cruz said. Cruz repeated several times his claim that he didn't want the government to shut down, and he bemoaned the "nasty partisan jabs from Democrats" over his role in the shutdown. huffingtonpost.com
