question for teachers about bill of rights

[scentopine]

16. Yep and he was against spying on Americans until he was for it

He was against indefinite detention, until he was for it.

He decriminalized torture and charged CIA with putting new safeguards in place to make sure photos never get leaked again. There are thousands of photos, human rights groups have seen them - they show horrific results of torture along with photos of the people who committed the torture. Obama supported releasing them until it was no longer politically convenient. The perpetrators were a combination of government employees and contractors. The pro-torture lobby in both parties beat down a public inquiry, investigation and prosecution for war crimes.

Obama was against AT&T spying on Americans until it was no longer politically convenient. He was for single payer until it was no longer politically convenient.

Basically, Democratic leadership is willing to support truth and justice until it isn't financially prudent or expedient to do so. When Wall Street CEOs complain (many who control large defense and/or telecommunications firms and could be implicated in an ugly investigation about torture, etc), Obama, the leader of the democratic party, reacts like a good soldier.

As you can see by counting convictions against CEOs and executives of big banks who defrauded trillions from tax payers, justice has no place in the big business of corporate sponsored government.

Like taxes, justice is something to be inflicted on unincorporated citizens.

As more and more public dissent builds up, look for Obama and democratic right wingers to endorse even more draconian measures to control dissent and prevent it from holding the government and industry accountable for their crimes.
