By Robert Reich - The issue we are about to face as a nation has nothing to do with the Affordable Care Act or any of the other of the demands Republicans are making. It has to do with political extortion: Republicans' threats to close the government or default on the nation's debts if they don't get their way. The President and the Democrats must not negotiate. Once you start negotiating with extortionists, there is no end to it. Extortionists will hold the nation hostage again and again. Any law on the books they don't like, any tax their wealthy patrons detest, any regulation their corporate bank-rollers would like to do away with, any subsidy or bailout their Wall Street underwriters desire, will be fair game. Let Republicans carry out their threats. Let America see them do it and experience the consequences. And then let us send the Republican Party into the dust bin of history.

link. Is 'Cruz' the only spelling of 'mean, vile, hateful, ignorant sh*t?' The Rutgers student, who was cited by Ted Cruz as proof of Obama's failure, is actually a beneficiary of the very health care law that Cruz was protesting during his speech. Student John Connelly: "A friend of mine called me the next morning as I was on the way to an optometrist appointment .... [and said], 'While Ted Cruz was talking about why the ACA's bad, he mentioned your name.' And I said, 'Well, that's funny. I'm heading to an appointment I can only go to because of Obamacare.'"

pic. Would a French Revolution, lopping the heads of Cruz, McConnel, Kochs, Blankfein, Tillerson... would it be so bad? Yes, an unviolent revolution would be preferable.
