follow through on any agreement that Schumer/Dems reach with them to end the shutdown, the charade ends -- is over. I'm just not sure the charade isn't ALREADY over. At what point does capitulation on a principle become "we give up" or worse, "we are defeated"? My fear is that we are already there and don't even know it -- meaning maybe we should be at war right now. Maybe we should be filling the streets in DC right now. Maybe we should be storming Congress right now. Are we playing Neville Chamberlain with a world danger here?
