Is it radical for the House to use it's power of the purse to defund a program that America does not want ?

An opinion:

>" “In wartime, truth is so precious that she should always be attended by a bodyguard of lies,” said Winston Churchill.

What is the truth behind the Beltway lies about these crazy Republicans crashing our government?

Twice in the last week House Republicans have voted unanimously to fund the U.S. government.

If national polls are to be believed, those House Republicans are doing exactly what America wants. A majority of Americans oppose a government shutdown. And a majority oppose Obamacare.

Who, then, is preventing the government from being funded?

Harry Reid and Barack Obama. Neither will accept any continuing resolution that does not contain Obamacare. Both will shut down this city rather than accept any such CR.

It is Harry and Barry who are saying: If we don’t get full funding of Obamacare now, we shutdown Washington until the House delivers.

The battle, then, is over this question: Will the next great liberal entitlement program, Obamacare, with its manifest failings and flaws, be imposed upon the nation — against its will?

The House says no. The Beltway says yes.

Few disagree that, in any national plebiscite, Obamacare would be buried in a landslide. Few disagree that if Obamacare were put to a vote of the Congress today, it would fail in both houses.

Why, then, is it radical for the House to use its power of the purse to defund a program America does not want?

Why is it statesmanship for Obama to say he will shut down the entire government if any resolution to keep it running contains even the slightest tweak to his cherished program?..."< continue -> The Beltway Lies of the Obamacare War - Patrick J. Buchanan - Official Website

No.

It is exactly appropriate and what we elected the House to do. Especially with what, for all intents and purposes, is a train wreck in so many, if not absolutely all, aspects.

We should all email and/or call our Representatives and applaud them on finally finding the backbone to stick up for what the American people want... and despite the news media being in the tank for Obama, being able to message this properly, to craft a well thought out strategy for once, to place all the blame right where it needs to laid, at the feet of Barry and Harry...
