Siding with republicans here. Only because democrats believe that planned parenthood should be kept open while the US post office will be shut down. Keeping free abortions open while all the services of the post office are made unavalable to the country makes no sense to me.
The gov't shutdown itself shouldn't last long, the public will be enraged and a compromise will be made. If that is not the case, you may see largescale cases of civil unrest, crime rates, and mass protests within a month.
I am really dissapointed with the actions of some christans (here and IRL). According to Jesus when someone wrongs you, you turn the other cheek. If someone steals your coat, give him your better one. Of course in real life your definately not going to do that BUT it is saying; Just because someone did something to you, that doesn't mean it is ok for you to do something mean to them. Seriously everyone knows that. Don't go shouting, "WELL THEY DID SOMETHING MEAN FIRST!!"
Secondly don't judge the muslim's. The middle east has been in turmoil ever since after WWII. Many people there only know violence as a solution because they are scared. If you look into their hearts you would honestly see alot of good in them. If you would learn about muslims and their culture from other sources than the evening news and other mainstream media. You would find a rich trove of knowlege. We need to start building trust and friendships betwean the middle east and the west. If you build trust and friendship then you will eventually build peace.
