I agree 100%.. We take them lightly at our own peril.
They need to be stomped on now, and repeatedly until they can no longer get up. Then stomp on them again.

You're worried about a few hundred maladjusted anti-socialists? There really is no serious movement of people who think like this...just a bunch of individuals that hate society because.....well, there is no reason, except they are nuts.

"There really is no serious movement of people who think like this"


This means that a tiny cabal has brought the US government to its knees.

I think your analysis is partially right. This is driven by a small group of people manipulating a much larger group of people.

The dangerous part is that it could easily get out of hand. Do you think the architects really wanted this shutdown to happen?

There's a lot of money to be made by shorting this country. When you can get legislators to create the conditions that move markets, you can make huge money betting against this country's economy.

It's not sedition or treason, but it is criminal activity...and the DoJ ought to scrutinize every legislator's financial moves and expose anyone who is trying to profit from our country's financial footing. making negative law for personal gain ought to be a capital offense.
