Related: About this forumExposing Tea Party Conservatives for Government Shutdown
After not being able to agree on the Continued Resolution for the Fiscal year of 2014, Congress shut down the Federal government on Tuesday, October 1st at 12:00 AM. This is all because a group of fringe Tea Party conservatives in the House of Representatives, backed by the Koch Brothers, did not want Obamacare with its full provisions to pass in the Continued Resolution for the Fiscal Year of 2014. So, instead, they undermined Representative Democracy to hurt the American people because of their ideological motives and for the financial interests of the Koch Brothers. They did this by threatening John Boehner with his job as House Speaker. This group of Tea Party conservatives, led by Ted Cruz are therefore political terrorists and should be looked down upon by the suffering American people.

(1,309 posts)Ted Cruz is the son of Dominionist preacher Rafael Cruz. Dominionists believe all government officials nust be Christians, that all our laws must agree with Christian doctrine, that our government is the rightful ruler of the world and must establish Christ's Kingdom on earth in the USA purging or converting alll non -Christians to await his second coming. Do you get what Ted is about now???
