Idiots And The Government Shutdown

I tried. I tried so very, very hard, but I can stay silent no longer. We need to talk about something, and I'll most likely piss some of you off. I don't care. What we need to talk about is the recent Government Shutdown and how FUCKING STUPID it is. We can say, "both sides equally caused this", but that is false.

You see, the Affordable Care Act (aka Obamacare) was signed into law. It passed in both the House and the Senate and the President signed it. It is a law. It was challenged in the Supreme Court, but they said there wasn't anything unconstitutional about it. It. Is. A. LAW. So why is it that a few extremists in the House (who seem to have hijacked the GOP) think it's alright to shutdown the government because it's they don't like this law? I'm certain this isn't the way our Founding Fathers envisioned us solving our problems. They are circumventing the rules that we put into place because they don't like the ACA.

You know what, though? Laws are passed all the time that people think are shitty (the 18th Amendment and DOMA are just a few that come to mind) Oh well, that's how it goes. I'm sorry if the process to repeal a law isn't fast enough for you, but that's the way bureaucracy works. These are the rules we have set in place. We can always try to change these rules, but through the proper channels. That's the system we have set up.

Of course these extremists say, "Well, my constituents agree with what we're doing." Of course they do, years of gerrymandering have seen to that. Districts are divided up, giving one party way too much of an advantage over the other.

Things like this need to stop, NOW! I'm tired of this bullshit, I really am. Politicians need to stop acting like spoiled children. The gerrymandering needs to stop and the voters encouraging this behavior need to take a step back and wonder if risking the U.S. economy (and possibly the world economy) just to prove your point is really worth it.

You want to debate Obamacare? Fine, but do it without risking our infrastructure. I'm dead serious, I honestly think if this continues much longer we'll all be in deep shit.
