This is a bit of left wing propaganda from an extreme leftist named Amanda Marcotte.
I may write about politics, but I wasn't familiar with this person. Now that I've read about her a bit, I think I've supported the assertion that she is far left.
The problem with the GOP is that they let themselves be intimidated by these people. She even asks why the GOP isn't more afraid. She then gins up the default fears, which do not exist in fact, and claims that the GOP is delusional for not seeing this as a threat to them. She blames that delusional thinking on Christianity.
How many people will believe this woman? She has a lot of influence upon the Democrat's thinking, and it explains a lot of their hysterical rhetoric of late.
The GOP must hold firm, if for no other reason than to discredit all this fear mongering.
For the first 9 days of the shut down, the government raised many times more money than would be necessary to service the debt. There can be no default unless the President wants one. Any President could do this at any time, so if this President wanted to go rogue, the shut down would be nothing but an excuse. The shut down has nothing to do with a default if the President acts lawfully.
