Also, it is premised on the idea that it is acceptable to kill innocents if you think it may contribute to your own security... but no, it is worse than that because no thinking person could believe that bombing other countries could increase our long-term security against those who hate and despise us for our international crimes of war.
So why do we continue to bomb and drone and invade? If it is politics, it is unforgivable. If it is ignorance, it is just sad. If it is indifference to others suffering, it is damnable.
And THAT is the example that Obama sets for the culture with HIS, yes HIS foreign policy.
And that is just foreign policy. His failure to even secure the same gun control that existed under Republican presidents is unforgivable and you should not be so quick to do so, Josh. If you are the progressive you constantly claim to be, that is.
