It's hate. Period.

196. A very good argument.

Perhaps criticizing the "government" over this I haven't made it plain that there is a difference between the leadership and the apparatus.

I am infuriated that this program has been allowed to continue. The apparatus built it, but that was their job.

I consider this Congress' fault, so hearing that they have "oversight" isn't exactly a balm.

The President isn't the creator of this nightmare, but he hasn't exactly gotten on board with stopping it either nor has he done anything other than defend it. In that way I don't agree with your assertion that "Obama will be remembered as the first to start us on that way."

The major cheerleaders here aren't on board with your premise either -- after all, most of the arguments boil down to "it's here, it will happen so deal with it."

But your optimism is refreshing.
