In reply to the discussion: I trust President Obama [View all]freshwest
(53,661 posts)Goes on here everyday. This is not criticism, not based on fact but the gut contention PBO is a person of incredible evil that really loves killing and hurting people, that he hates this country, all its people, and the people of the world. That he wants them enslaved, that he wants to be impoverished, suffer, etc.
Obama the anti-christ, DU version. It's the same thing as a RWNJ site. After a while, this contention that it's all the same is theirs and arises from the Koch funded disinfo agents that have cultlike followers. This is continuous. Most recent example:
Today is the 798th anniversary of the Sealing of Magna Carta
...How, one wonders, is president Obama going to mark this day?
Perhaps by marking someone for murder by drone without trial, perhaps by disappearing someone else, or perhaps by instituting - in the name of Freedom - random searches of people walking down the street?

Oh, lookee. A random Wikipedia page that suddenly says Obama is over turning a thousand year of freedom. That doesn't even fly, those freedoms didn't free the slaves, give women the right to vote, end child labor etc. But let's go back to those thrilling days of yesteryear and say that Obama is destroying the Enlightment and all of Western Civilization, Except when he's enforcing the things that Western Civilization, with all its festering wounds insist on happening aournd the world today. Anyone who doesn't know, just don't ask. You might decide to just shoot yourself.
Let's see, murdering, not allowing a trial, disappearing someone else, etc. As if it's an establshed fact.
Well it is according to Alex Jones, World Net Daily, Drudge an the other spiritual kin of this stuff. Really? Really? Given a pass as a criticism of the government or Obama? Freeperville has found a new home!
Don't worry, it'll get a lot of recs. Next thing will be the anniversies of any mass murder to attach to Obama. Let's see, St. Valentine's Day massacre, Hiroshima, or 911, Boston, after a while it's all a blur of hatred that is based on the idea that American government doesn't do anything right is a total sham, so burn it down and then utopia wll arise. Thanks, Ayn Rand, what a lovely idea.
We've already got several threads I read but didn't comment on, insisting Obama is intending to commit a holocaust and attacking anyone who didn't go along with all of that. Really?
Sounds like this place was annexed by Glennbeckistan. But hey, the big money media made it so ubiquitous, that it's just what everyone has to agree with.
Here's the image folks are looking for, this describes your view of a man following the laws you don't like. And it's straight from Glennbeckistan. But many here really do express this at DU. So how to separate the spirit of this from what's being posted at DU?
Don't bother, it can't be, just here it is:

Laws written by people you elected, or failed to elect, and then scream since you think both parties are the same, that Rand Paul is the new savior to worship at the feet of (beware if you get too low to the ground, his crew stomps on heads), and you didn't vote, won't vote, will never vote again, never, ever, ever.
And are too proud to work in a precinct to change the government, because that's just piddling worthless shit. Any person that advises that is a partisan hack like me and not at all cool.
So let's not be partisan, not support the platform of a social safety net and equal ritghts. Let is all go rot, it's not good enough anymore. The same who wailed and left the party because of CPI, now found another cause. And after that it will be another one, and another. The Koch brothers have enough money to influence the media, and they are so proud of their success.
Let's all sit at home and cry. And cry we will, because there are real partisans who will definitely show up at every local meeting and vote in every election. The ones who steal the rights of people daily, but those don't matter as we revel in the coming of ragnarok at DU.
Nah, only civil 'liberties' matter, not hose for the others.
So many want government to disappear to save that freedom, liberty, life, etc. Grover Nordquist and Charles Koch want the same thing along with the heroes of the Libertarians that are being worshipped here.
How did it happen that all the rest that these evil fucks did, do now and intend to do, just doesn't matter? Why continue to denigrate Obama and all government, with no solution being offered, which is what the Becks and their crew want? Think the church and corporations will protect the rights of Americans then? Or will they suddenly go away when the government is gone? Does it look like they are giving up right now, and only barely held back by that awful government, and Obama?
Looking at the big picture, too many are not interested in improving government, despise every single person that works in it. That's the source material for this dreckt.
And we're called Obamabots, asskissers, authoritarian swooners, cheerleaders, groupspeakers worshippers, sheeple, mindless drones of the state when the voice of the Koch Left to Right media machine rules this place?
Pot, meet kettle. But it's not that simple, either. It's not like the GOP and Democratic Party platforms are sports teams here. They are not the same, except to Alex Jones, Patriot Movement, David Duke and the Paulites, and the Libertarians. They want the government gone.
They want a theocracy based on their view of liberty, which will truly make the rest of us slaves and are working to create poverty, discrimination, steal the rights of women and minorities, make everything unaccountable through privatization.
The two parties and these entities, are not the same. I guess while the conservative owned media says to go bonkers over their latest creation, like the Tea Party before, we should just forget civil rights in this country.
