I enjoy Bill Maher's commentary, it is intelligent and has rational relationships fact. Unfortunately, the conclusions he reaches are shaped by Hollywood's liberal pseudo-intellectual dogma. In this case Maher holds the belief that the general population needs to be led by whatever means necessary the achieve the goals of making lives of the gen-pop better.
It is only a guess, but, that I might disagree with his conclusions, at times applying vociferous arguments, would gain me the label of "stupider". He would be guilty of class bigotry, my guess.

The comedian's acceptance of the President's dishonesty, as an efficient tool, renders him no better than the liar himself.

Don't Know What to Call Myself
Anymore, being a Republican means having leaders with no balls.
This is the email I've received from the White House propaganda machine. Some nasty comments are likely to be inserted.
Hello, everyone --
Try not to notice the majority party of the House of Representatives, all of whom were elected last year and we're going to pretend are out of touch with what America wants. They're pushed up against the wall over there, guarded from having a voice by the media brandishing microphones and laptops. See how they cower, but don't worry, they are not really part of "everyone", they're just here to pay taxes.
Late Wednesday night, after a 16-day shutdown, the President signed a bill to reopen the government and pay our country's bills. Today, a government shutdown over delaying or defunding the health care law can no longer hurt our economy. We are no longer facing the threat of default.
Federal income never ended, only your damned ability to spend beyond your means. But you fixed that, didn't you, you irresponsible bastards.
While this bipartisan compromise is the right thing to do for the country, there are no winners when Washington keeps hijacking our economy month after month.
There are plenty of indicators, in final review, that the Republicans were willing to negotiate and the Democrats were not. The executive from start to finish treated this as a zero sum game. It is his right, but afterwards you don't rightfully get to claim you played fair.
Nobody wins when hundreds of thousands of people don't know when their next paycheck will come. Nobody wins when millions of veterans and seniors risk losing benefits that they've paid for, earned, and rely on. Nobody wins when businesses stop hiring and our economy grows slower than it could.
Businesses are reluctant to hire already because of the health care legislation taking effect. The Republicans are trying to avert job stagnation and regression.
Ultimately, the reason this shutdown ended was simple: Democrats and responsible Republicans got together, recognized that holding the American economy hostage should have no place in our politics, and got the job done. They did what the American people elected them to do.
Do you understand the dig, "responsible Republicans", horseshit, to them the only person that is responsible is the one that blindly follows Democratic dogma. People elected over half of the House of Representatives, have you forgotten that. This group is legislators is more in tune with local needs than the Senate or the executive, that is by design. Just because you say you are responsible, it does not mean you are.
Today, every American should have a clear sense of where we stand, and where we're going. Watch the President's statement yesterday about the end of the shutdown, and then pass it along so that other folks see it, too.
Yes, were all fucked.
In his remarks, the President asked Congress to focus on finishing three specific policy priorities in the weeks to come.
Since your already greased up and loose, get ready for some more stuff rammed up your ass.
First, that means passing a budget that invests in the things that will create a better bargain for the middle class -- like educating our children, and improving our infrastructure -- while continuing to cut our deficit in a balanced way.
PASSING A BUDGET you've got to be out of your freaking mind, Harry Reid and the spend-aholics in the Senate have been tabling Republican budget proposals since before Obama took office. Yesterday I heard Carney talking about how they've cut the deficit by over half, would like to see his measuring stick.
Second, it means fixing our broken immigration system so everyone plays by the same rules. The Senate has already passed a bill that would continue to strengthen our borders and grow our economy by bringing millions of undocumented immigrants out of the shadows and give them the chance to earn their citizenship by paying a fine and taxes, passing a background check, and going to the back of the line.
Break the law go to jail, or go home. Executive and Democratic example of leadership from behind, see a problem, paste something pretty over it and call it progress.
And third, it means passing a farm bill that ranching and farming families can rely on: one that protects working families and gives rural communities opportunities to grow.
People that the Democrats go out of their way to isolate.
We'll be back in touch soon with more specific ways that every one of us can support this work. But for now, we should all have the facts on exactly what ending this shutdown means for all of us -- today, and in the weeks to come.
Got paid today, you've already been in touch, with my wallet.
Take a look at the President's remarks from yesterday, and pass them along to the folks you think need to see them:
No, it is all bull shit anyway.

Recent House Votes
Military Death Benefits Continuing Resolution; Vote Passed (425-0, 6 Not Voting)
Last Wednesday, the House passed a joint resolution that provides sums as necessary to pay for U.S. military death benefits. It includes the $100,000 death gratuity, funeral and burial expenses, and a housing allowance for dependents of service members who die on active duty. The funds would be available through Dec. 15, 2013. The motion passed without a dissenting vote in the House. On Thursday, the Senate passed the legislation by unanimous consent, and President Obama signed it later the same day.
Rep. David Scott voted YES
Never should have gotten to this point, as proven by the unanimous vote.
Upcoming Votes
Debt Limit - S.1569
The Senate is likely to vote on this bill to suspend enforcement of the debt ceiling. Its possible the Senate could vote on legislation that would both fund the government and raise or suspend the debt limit.
Debt Limit and Government Funding - H.R.____
The House may take up its own bill to address both the debt limit issue and funding the federal government or Senate legislation that would do so. Until then the House is expected to continue voting on mini CRs funding intelligence agencies, American Indian and Alaska Native social and education programs, and weather forecasting.
If you don't know what happened yet, it is a good thing there is a benevolent government that promises to wipe the dribble off your chin. Short story, pussified Republicans cave to obstinate money grubbing Democrats.

Dick Morris has more to say on the subject, basically that the President of Iran is the puppet of the Ayatollah who is experienced in global political deception.

The shutdown is over, Obama and Reid managed to obstruct all offers of controlling costs, winning the battle but probably pissing off Conservative voters so much that they are going to break up the Republican party. The current Republican leaders are feckless, unwilling to risk looking bad for fear of being locked second place. Second place is what their timid behavior guarantees.

Fart Jokes in China
Foreign Policy dot com has this article title, but the content is not nearly a fulfilling as the hook. The Chinese people think American influence is over-arched, to which I do not care if it is or it isn't. I do think our President cares very much, and through both willful intent and ignorant forays, is doing his darnedest to take the country down a notch in the eyes of the world.

Play It Through
The shutdown is funny thing. We have a Congress that has with the President grown expenditures enormously. This is basically a Democratic-Keynesian philosophy that many Republicans enjoy the band wagon on.
On shorter election cycles the Republicans have come to a strong majority in the House, are without a doubt more responsive to local pressure and the national media is treating the Senate as the group with their fingers on the pulse of America while for last five years the Senate has stalled every attempt to pass a budget. The Democrats do not want a budget they want to keep buying votes with impunity.
Enough about the greedy liberal politicians. On the conservative side we have the Republicans egged on by representatives responsive to Tea Party pressure, feeling that pressure, they get their issue to the front line and start to take the media hits that are uniformly and unfairly deposited at their doorstep. Pressure starts to come from Wall Street, run by folks that could give two stinking shits about national debt and tax burdens as long as they can continue to get their cheap money via the Fed discount rate. The Republicans start to waffle which the President erred on receipt by insisting on new higher spending limits. The problem continues.
What I have to say is this, if the Republicans are believe in their cause, and they are going to take the popularity hit regardless of the true root cause, why not stay the course with resolve? Screw popularity, do what is right, don't spend more than you bring in, then let time and growth take care of the rest.

Upcoming Congressional Bills
Recent Senate Votes:
Continuing Appropriations Conference Request Motion to Table
Vote Agreed to (54-46)
As the federal fiscal year came to a close, the Senate rejected a request by the House of Representatives to form a conference committee for fiscal 2014 continuing appropriations. The House request included the insistence that the Senate accept its amendment to the joint resolution to delay the implementation of the Affordable Care Act until January 2015 and repeal the medical device tax included in the law.
The vote to table the request fell straight down party lines, with both independent senators joining the 52 Democrats against the House invitation. With the rejection, the Senate effectively ensured the partial federal shutdown that began at midnight on Oct. 1 continued. The day before, the Senate rejected a nearly-identical amendment to the continuing appropriations resolution. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., has made it clear that he will not bring a continuing appropriations resolution with any amendments to a vote.
Sen. Saxby Chambliss voted NO
Sen. Johnny Isakson voted NO
See later CNN comments on the statesman Reid.
Recent House Votes:
Veterans Program Funds- Continuing Resolution
Vote Passed (259-157, 15 Not Voting)
After Congress failed to pass a full continuing resolution (CR) last week, the government officially shut down on October 1. The House decided to take up mini-CRs to fund various parts of the government like military pay and veterans programs. This particular mini-CR, passed by the House Republicans with the help of 35 Democrats, would fund veterans programs including disability payments, education benefits and home loans at current levels until December 15. The bill would also fund the Veterans Benefits Administration at the annualized rate of $2.5 billion to process disability claims.
Rep. David Scott voted NO
Explain that vote next election cycle.
Womens and Childrens Nutrition Funds Continuing Resolution
Vote Passed (244-164, 23 Not Voting)
On Friday, the House passed another mini-CR to fund the nutrition programs for women, infants and children (WIC). The bill would fund the special supplemental nutrition program until December 15 at post-sequester fiscal 2013 levels. The Senate is extremely unlikely to consider any of the House mini-CRs.
Rep. David Scott voted NO
No doubt the Republicans are trying to save face and the Democrats, with the reckless sychophantile media, insist on playing politics pointed at the next election cycle. Today I listened to a CNN pundit who glorified Harry Reid for attempting to negotiate a settlement. That damnable relative of a horse thief has done everything he possibly could for the last 5 years to isolate the Republican controlled house. It is all just bull shit posturing.
Upcoming Votes:
Continuing Resolution - H.J.Res.___
The Senate is unlikely to take up any mini-CRs this week, but they may take on a large continuing resolution to fund the government.
Continuing resolutions for FDA, national intelligence and border security funds - H.J.Res.77,78,79
The House is expected to vote on additional mini-CRs this week to fund FDA, national intelligence and border security programs.

17% Non-Essential Sounds Alright
Now when things are settled, lets close the non-essential services permanently and apply savings against the budget shortfalls, then against the permanent debt.
Found this clip on the site Sondrakistan "Knowledge is Power", Bill Whittle gives his calm and rational thoughts on the left's maximization of pain during the government shutdown.
As said before, a person I know working for the Federal government who described how unionized Federal employees were advising non-union employees to maximize the impact of both the sequester and shutdown. Cost is not on the minds of the left only that the rate of flow must continue to increase.
Well constructed and delivered.
I think that it is shameful, the President's behavior; to act in a manner so offensive to half of the population; to act with impunity towards half of the persons he is obligated to protect.

Most Oppose Driver’s Licenses for Illegal Immigrants
The poll reveals that 2 of every 3 persons think illegal aliens should be denied the right to obtain driver's licenses in their home state. The same poly shows that only 1 in 5 persons should have the right.
68% Oppose Driver’s Licenses for Illegal Immigrants - Rasmussen Reports™
Seems to me, public opinion is conflict with the operating objectives of the Department of Justice and Democratic leadership. Folks understand that this is a path to legal presence in the United States and so not want to occur.

That was then...
Seven years ago, an Illinois Senator had this to say about raising the debt ceiling.
What he meant to says is that the buck stops at George Bush.
That your pick which one, but at the time W.
The fact that we are here today to debate raising America's debt limit is a sign of leadership failure. It is a sign that the U.S. government can't pay its own bills. It is a sign that we now depend on ongoing financial assistance from foreign countries to finance our Government's reckless fiscal policies.Times change, now the same man as President refuses to negotiate with Republicans in Congress.
Increasing America's debt weakens us domestically and internationally. Leadership means that "the buck stops here." Instead, Washington is shifting the burden of bad choices today onto the backs of our children and grandchildren. America has a debt problem and a failure of leadership. Americans deserve better.

Continuing Resolution Vote Agreed to (54-44, 2 Not Voting)
After receiving the House approved stopgap spending measure that removed funds for the implementation of the Affordable Care Act, the Senate passed an amended version on a completely party-line vote, 54-44. Republican Sens. Jeff Flake of Arizona and Orrin G. Hatch of Utah were the only members who did not vote on the bill. The Senate-approved version eliminated the House language to defund the Affordable Care Act and would fund the government only through Nov. 15 at an annualized rate of $986.3 billion.

Continuing Resolution Medical Device Tax Repeal Amendment Vote Passed (248-174, 9 Not Voting)
After the Senate amended and approved its version of the government funding legislation, the House voted on two amendments to the legislation in the early hours of Sunday. The first vote approved Minnesota Republican Erik Paulsens amendment that would remove the medical device tax implemented to help fund the implementation of the Affordable Care Act. 17 Democrats joined Republicans to approve the amendment.
Rep. David Scott voted NO

Continuing Resolution Defunding of the Affordable Care Act Amendment Vote Passed (231-192, 8 Not Voting)
The second amendment, sponsored by Republican Marsha Blackburn of Tennessee, would reinstate the House language eliminated in the Senate bill to remove funding for the implementation of the Affordable Care Act. Only 2 Democrats (Jim Matheson of Utah and Mike McIntyre of North Carolina) and 2 New York Republicans (Chris Gibson and Richard Hanna) crossed party lines to vote in favor of or against the amendment, respectively.
