Are those who defend President Obama's every single move, sincere?

111. If you are accusing me of being Libertarian, then my response would be hidden

By jury decision. If you are asking if I am speaking of that party, my answer is no. We the Democratic Party, need to evolve. We need to evolve and recognize that the same old answers don't work. The claim of National Security is a dodge. We know it, the people know it, and that's why the polling sucks for us.

We talk about winning the house, but all we do is run from things that might not sound good. We support spying on Americans because we are more afraid of being labeled soft on Terror than we are of violating the civil rights of the citizens.

We talk about the problems with crime and our judicial system, but rush out to support the police every chance we get out of fear of being labeled soft on crime.

We oppose the war, but support the 300 or so drone strikes every year, as if it is less repugnant when American's are not in danger while we're killing people. Because we're afraid that if we don't kill anyone we can, they might attack us and we'll look soft on defense of the nation.

We talk about Guns, but we don't get serious about it, we don't do our homework, and we got our asses kicked. So we gave up, we left it on the floor where the RW knocked it out of our hands.

We talk about the economy, but we don't hold big business to the standards that we demand every small business meet.

These are all issues I've posted about, from the liberal point of view that is my home. We need to evolve, and we need to embrace the principles that were our foundation not that long ago. Those principles that brought people into our party. The principles that we once claimed to hold dear in our hearts. Instead we try to out macho the Rethugs to show we are manly enough to bomb the crap out of people who can't possibly defend themselves from us. We won't even discuss the idea of Legalizing Marijuana, because then we'll be painted as dope smoking commies by the RW that isn't going to like us anyway.

That's the point. The RW is never going to vote for us, so why are we playing by their rules? Why are we playing by their rules when even if we win, we out macho the asshats, they aren't going to vote for us.

We should do as much as humanly possible for the American People, always standing up for, and fighting for. Instead we're doing as much as we can for the RW, while trying to wrap the shit sandwich in a wrap of liberal phraseology. While we were being taught Miranda, did your teacher ever mention a balance between civil rights and the need for security? No, because the civil right used to be the most important thing to us.

We evolved, but we evolved into a slightly less obnoxious version of the RW assholes. We aren't really evolving, we're de-evolving. Going from more complex to more simplistic. I'm sorry if that observation bothers you, but it is the truth, and it's past time we quit pretending that we're good, we're winners, and darn it, people like us.
