"The fight must be to either now keep government shut down till the Democrats blink or drive from office Republicans who vote to fund Obamacare.
"In the meantime, life will go on. Americans will see they really can get along without Washington's constant, daily interference in their lives."
American Thinker: "...the public is learning that most of the federal government employees are not essential, and that we can get along fine with a smaller government."
Along the same lines, Bob Owens, formerly of Confederate Yankee, now of Bearing Arms, tweeted that: "There is no government #shutdown. There are, however, a lot of people in govt terrified that you might discover you don't need them."

Shutdown Good For The Country
Many conservatives think the shutdown is good for the country because government is bad. A shutdown means there won't be any government regulations in the way of things the billionaires and giant corporations want to do. Daily Caller writes of "The damage often done by on-duty non-essential personnel":
"What do all of these 800,000 people do when they are un-furloughed and fully funded? When not making rap videos, or Star Trek videos, or Gilligan's Island videos -- they make more and more regulations. Idle bureaucrat hands are the devil's playground. Under President Obama, they have been Disneyland."
Human Events headlines an article "Sometimes You Have to Let Government Go," "... which would certainly free up the private sector to create a lot of additional coin. And allow for the Feds to take a little less of it."
Wizbang proclaims: "Worried about a government shutdown? Don't be. It won't affect you much."

Tea Party Nation: RINO REPUBLICANS BREAKING RANK
The Blaze blares, "THE 12 HOUSE REPUBLICANS WHO ARE READY TO GIVE UP OBAMACARE FIGHT IN ORDER TO END GOVERNMENT SHUTDOWN." (Read the comments: "Alright people get on twitter and tell each one DO NOT CAVE TO DEM BULLY'S! YOUR JOB DEPENDS ON IT! We must put the pressure on them SPEAK UP AMERICAN PATRIOTS!!")
"While some Republican members of the U.S. House are standing firm in the spending negotiations (or lack thereof) with Democrats, there are reportedly at least 12 GOP House members who are ready to fully fund Obamacare to end the partial government shutdown.
"In order for Senate Democrats to get their way and get a 'clean' continuing resolution passed by the House, only five other Republicans would have to defect, or a total of 17. A clean CR would leave Obamacare in tact and fund the rest of the government in full."
