   A few hundred years ago, this country had a war against a tyrannical government. What will it take this time to get their attention?

   Looks about right.
   If the Democrat Senate can’t pass a budget in over 4 years, why bother paying them to show up.

   And if the Republican controlled House of Representatives (where the budgets are supposed to originate) continues to pass budgets that will harm most Americans, then why bother paying them to show up!!

   The whole of DC to 3 miles outside the Beltway Bandit territory should be included. Before the Republi/Demo-crats break us completely!

   That’s a little harsh. But politicians aren’t all that vital to the running of the country because it’s the bureaucrats, the paper shufflers who actually carry out the laws of the land with red tape to slow things down.

   Nice try, but just because they are cutting benefits to illegals and wellfare recipients does not mean they are hurting Americans.

   Have you paid any attention to the bills being passed by the democrats? Or the actions of the president?

    Please define tyranny.
    How many dissidents have been hanged or otherwise executed in your neighborhood?
    How many times have armed troops been dispatched to break up gatherings?
    How many times have the police beaten you for your opinions?
    How many times have armed troops been to your door to steal your possessions?
    How many armed soldiers do you pass on your way to the store?
    How many police and military checkpoints do you pass through on your way to work? (assuming you don’t work on a military base)
    How many institutions in your town have been bombed or destroyed because they were not approved by the government?
    If your answer is zero to all of the questions above, congratulations – you do not have a tyrannical government.

    In this case, “tyranny” = “not letting me do whatever I want to whoever I want”. You know, like how “waste” and “entitlements” means “anything that benefits someone besides me and mine”.
