Sliding into the prototypical "Ugly American" mindset

185. Ooooh, 'it's noticed'. Really, by whom? The NSA? Shouldn't they be looking for

terrorists or something?

And THANK YOU for taking all that time and trouble to post my comments about Chavez. I''m impressed with myself, every word is true and without your 'noticing' I would probably not have had the pleasure of reading my own words again.

This one eg, I will post it again as I don't think I got an answer to a question so many Democrats are asking:

No, that has not been the narrative at all. He is the POTUS and does get criticism for

some of his policies, for me the most disturbing thing about this administration is the number of Republicans he has appointed to powerful positions. I don't get that at all. And that there are few to no actual Progressive Dems in his cabinet. He has favored Corporate CEOs, Bush holdovers for economic positions, and people such as Gates et al when surely we have some Democrats who are qualified to be in a Democratic Cabinety.

It's odd because if any DUer says one positive thing about Ron Paul the same people who have zero to say about the President going much further than that and returning Republicans to power after we threw them out, slam them with epithets and charges of being 'Paulites'. By that logic, the President is more than just a Comey/Ashcroftite' since he has the power to give them power and has done so.

What do you think of all these Corporate Ceos, Monsanto, Booz Allen (Clapper, Republican, CEO of Booz Allen, Director of Intel) and Republicans being in a Democratic Administration? We didn't vote for Republicans, but that is what the President is doing each time he appoints another Republican to such powerful positions.

Every word a FACT. Do you have problems with facts? Can YOU answer my questions about all the REPUBLICANS in this administration?

I've read them all again, and I am very impressed with my adherence to issues rather than people, it's nice to see that despite all the personal attacks, such as YOURS to which I am responding, I manage to stay on the topic. But then I'm a Democrat, not a Freeper whose only fall back is usually to attack their opponents lacking the ability to defend their indefensible positions.

However, you failed to show anything post of mine that insulted the PRESIDENT personally, as I knew you could not. That WAS the accusation, was it not?

And I stand by and am proud of every post I made about Chavez who was a historical leader to his own people and will be remembered for what he contributed to the formation of the Latin American Alliance of Nations to ward off any more interference from the Western Imperial Powers.

Look, I'm sorry you don't like people pointing out the truth, or that people are way, way more informed than they used to be. Young people especially, free of all those ancient Cold War prejudices can see things far more clearly than the old Cold War Warriors who are still living in the past.

Btw, did you realize how often you used the pronoun 'YOU' again?

Nothing I said is false. You can't do shit without Congress, yet you're the one "getting angry" because things aren't to YOUR liking. You constantly criticize the guy about things that are TOTALLY outside his purview, like closing Gitmo,

You sound very angry to me. At me. I'm angry but not at anyone here, I am angry at what is happening in this country.

Since you failed to prove your claims, and yes, I most certainly WILL criticize policies I don't agree with, and no, he DOESN'T need to appoint Republicans to positions of power to get 'things done', gee, so what's the point of us voting for Democrats if it doesn't matter and we have to return Republicans to power to 'get things done'? What you're saying is we might as well vote for Republicans so we can get things done.

Stop with the excuses, they aren't working. I said plenty of nice things about Obama going back to 2004. I will say more nice things about him on a personal level, but I'm here to talk about POLITICS, not personalities. Just to please you though, he's a great father and husband and I think he probably really does believe that Reagan Policies are good for the country. But I disagree with him. I disagree with my brother, who I love and is also a wonderful father and husband about some things.

This is a political forum. Start a forum about personalities and I will be happy to say nice things about the President, but that has zero to do with politics and with policies.

And calm down, we've got this! Finally!
