If our country continues on this anti-knowledge, anti-reason path, the consequences will be dire. I do not plan to go quietly into the night as the country that science, reason, and technology built is torn apart to appease those who want to live in the past.

The Republican Party is messed up
What could be wrong with relying on “an uneasy coalition of Democrats and a few moderate Republicans to pass a bill to re-open the government?” Isn’t government supposed to work that way? Read this Washington Post article for more http://ow.ly/prJk1
Those Republicans who supposedly love the constitution should perhaps study it a little and learn the proper way to change a bill.
I guarantee you the Constitution does not tell you to change a bill you don’t like by closing down the government. Even if you don’t like a bill that was passed by both chambers, signed into law and has been ruled constitutional, you need to live with the law. In a country where the rule of law is supposed to be important, you follow the law, not hold the government hostage in a temper tantrum. It is just plain stupid.
