For a while now, but especially over the past few days, I (along with many others) have constantly been met with this "clearly you don't give a shit", "apparently you don't care", "it's obvious that you don't concern yourself with", etc.

These soundbytes are invariably used when the poster has nothing of substance to say, and attempts to draw attention away from that fact. You have decided I "don't give a shit about any of this" based on what? Certainly NOT based on anything I've said - but based solely on what you want to pretend I said.

As I said to a poster yesterday in a similarly ridiculous exchange: If you want to have a conversation between yourself and what you want to pretend I said, why don't we cut out the middle-man (being me), so that you can have your one-sided discussion without any interference.

"You're "pro-Obama", and that's it."

Yes, I am staunchly pro-Obama. The fact that you think "that's it", as though it sums up my opinions about everything from economic policy to international diplomacy, is reflective of the fact that you've bought into the whole "all Obama supporters agree with his every action, and they all think alike" bullshit that is served here on a silver platter, day after day.

You might want to try thinking outside the box your ilk insists on operating in, where one's support of this president defines their every opinion on every issue.

If you honestly think that all Obama-supporters agree with him, or each other, all of the time, you are either ignorant of the facts, stupid in the extreme, or too naive to be taken seriously.
