Civil liberties disappear in the 2012 Democratic platform.

When you use phrases like "every" and "lumping" I must find your judgement and conclusions suspect.
You are more focused on street-level tactics to weakly characterize all dissent as conspiratorial.

What do you think about the missing platform planks? What do you think of extra-judicial killing? indefinite detention? Do you support those policies? Nobody is going to switch their vote to Romney if you admit some unease over this policy. Nobody is putting forward that falsehood that the parties are equivalent. Nobody reading this discussion is on the fence. Your posts do not change one vote. Honesty however might go a long way to increase understanding.

Can someone support Obama while being conscious of the fact that he is committing extra-legal wars with drone strikes? I do. I realize that the alternative would be unmitigated disaster, instead of a kinder, gentler empire.

Self-selected party-loyalists will never provide meaningful discourse on actual policy issues, but lists like yours show how your efforts are focused on ad hominem, mislabeling and lying about dissenters. None of which sheds any light on the making of the political sausage that we must all eat.

This is why this site attracts people who enjoy to browbeat and ostracize. This anti-social, anti-intellectual behavior is not punished here, but rather encouraged.
