7 hours into the Republican Shutdown....

and I've already defriended somebody on Facebook for calling me a "douche" for having the temerity to point out that the exchanges are still going to be open despite the Republican shutdown. He's a teabagger (didn't really know he was until I friended him) and we had a lot of fights earlier this year over gun control but after Obama failed to take everybody's guns, he's been pretty quiet and he's never really gotten nasty like this unti now, so I tried to tolerate our differences. Oh well. Goodbye and good riddance! Definitely don't need "friends" like that.

This country has been divided like never before in my memory, by the extremist, hate rhetoric from paid, rightwing demagogues like Rush Limbaugh, Glenn Beck, et al.
