I memorized a Star Wars encyclopedia when I was 12. I am a treasure trove of inane obscure trivia.

I believe in solving problems, not sharing them.

NIKI posted an extended video already. I dunno... this reminds me of the scene in Star Wars when the Senate is droning on an on about rules that are both incredibly important and mind-blowingly inane.

I take your point. The lunatic fringe of the GOP is doing everything in its power to take control of the government by non-democratic means. Scary.

The Tea Party has now taken to Nazi tactics to overthrow government as we know it.
By the way, this was not covered by the mainstream media, or any media, this was posted on You Tube by that democratic representative. Also notice how evasive the speaker was in not directly answering his query, and how sheepishly he tried to change the subject when the jig was up. The House Rules Committee, probably behind closed doors, sneakily changed the House rules to guarantee a government shutdown and prevent the real Americans from putting an end to the shutdown.

Talking heads have been scratching their heads trying to figure out the T-Party's agenda and have failed miserably. They think in terms of democracy and wrongly apply it to the comings and goings of the Tea Party. Their disruptive and destructive tactics are just a smoke screen for their true agenda - to destroy democracy in the modern era, by slowly discrediting and destroying the Republican party, the president, and, eventually the Constitution. Our democratic process is under attack and the Shut Down and the Debt Ceiling are being used like a surgeon's knife.

I'll go one step further........the Tea Party and their accomplices are gearing up for a Neo-facists movement not unlike those seen during the 2nd World War. And Ted Cruz is leading the charge. I was wondering who he reminded me of, and, as I was researching the term facism, it dawned on me -
Benito Mussolini. What hold does he have over the Republican leadership? How can 30-40 reps in the house have so much power over the moderate house reps? Why do they continually change their demands on the release of the hostage? This is no longer about Obamacare, it never was. This is about power and control, and the total disruption of the American political process.

Face it Chris,

Not even the Koch brothers can gain control over the monster they helped to create, the T-Party. The tell-tale sign that things may have shift gears - the despicable display of the Confederate flag in front of the White House, alongside the Marine Corps flag.

Take our country back slogans and misinformation about the Constitution; total misdirection and rewriting of our history. Not only that I've seen young teens comments on Facebook, it's downright ugly.

Indeed it is, SGG - and yanno, there's also some pictures and footage of the bastards having a "private" little meeting in a local restaurant basement.
Weren't even subtle about it neither.
Or very smart.

Gettin' old, but still a hippie at heart...

Yeah, Chris, I covered it in http://www.fireflyfans.net/mthread.aspx?tid=56415 -- and of course, our righties came back with "everyone does it, no big deal". Can you just imagine what their reaction would have been if the situation were reversed and DEMOCRATS tried something like this? Yeah, I know, so can I...easily!
