I don't especially like Republicans, and I certainly don't like Democrats. I'm not a fan of government, period, though I realize that, because there are people called "Democrats" on this earth (and other such vile creatures), government is a "necessary evil," often intolerable, and it has, by far, killed, tortured, oppressed, and robbed from more people, and been the most barbaric institution man has ever created. And it still is.

Our government shutdown has finally ended. I, frankly, hoped the government would never open again. If it hadn't, people would have had to start doing what God and our Founding Fathers intended them to do in the first place: take care of themselves, with families, individuals, and churches. In other words, people who care to help one another when needed. But that's not what government wants. Government wants everybody to obey and be dependent upon them. And they will often kill anyone who opposes them. That's total history, but just study the last 100 years for the most recent examples thereof.

Our Founding Fathers created a virtuous, limited government, where the federal government had few and defined powers that would benefit every American equally. There would have been no government shutdown if we had followed their guidance and kept the republic limited and virtuous. The Republicans, frankly, back in the 1850s and '60s started it (well, the Whigs a little bit before them), but it is the Democratic Party, under Franklin Roosevelt and Lyndon Johnson (and those who followed them), who have utterly decimated any semblance of the kind of government our Founders established. It's the government we live with now, it's what everybody expects, and we'll never go back to the way it was intended to be. So, we'll continue to have these divisive government blowups for as long as politicians crave power and buy our votes.

The hatred and division in America will build until we finally succumb to our own ignorance, wickedness, and........
