47. It would be defended by the rabid partisans on their team,

just as Obama, doing the exact same thing, will be defended by the rabid partisans on ours.

We are divided into our red and blue teams and taught to circle the wagons no matter what our side does. And the kicker is that they own both parties, so the direction of policy does not really change from administration to administration anymore, except on wedge issues that the one percent could not care less about.

It is a huge joke on all of us...Republicans and Democrats. And the longer we eat up the propaganda and refuse to stand up against what is morally and Constitutionally wrong because our side is doing it and, *gasp,* we might have to attack a Democrat or ally on something with a Republican, the longer they will continue to rule us, simply pass the authority from one party to another, and continue their business of turning this country into a corporate, authoritarian, perpetually warmongering state.

This is an outrage that the right and the left *should* be able to come together to oppose. It is that egregiously and obviously wrong. But we are deliberately and relentlessly propagandized into a sick partisan defensiveness that will prevent that sort of unified opposition from happening, no matter which side is committing the next outrage.

That is how they keep us divided, so that we *never* have the whole country to stand up against the indefensible.
