Over 50,000 Americans killed, untold more numbers whose lives were destroyed not to mention the Vietnamese slaughter.
I wonder if this is how those who direct our elections think? Totally cold and calculating, outraged when citizens dare to get involved?
If this is representative of the 'Political Class', I think that is something else we need to put on the agenda. Rid our system of cold, calculating political operatives who care nothing about people. They are a threat to this country.
It has all the elements of what we accuse war mongers on the right of, viewing the men and women who are sent to fight these wars as nothing more than fodder. I guess it always disturbs them when the people resist their draconian view of the lives and deaths of the very people they claim to represent.
And no, Hilary will never get my support. She voted for war, she approved of torture 'under certain conditions'. I could never support that which is why I supported Obama. I am looking for higher standards regarding the lives of people everywhere.
Uber partisanship is a blinding and dangerous thing for any democracy. The dismissal of millions of lives, the rejection of the will of the people who forced the end of that slaughter, that scares me.
