(8,377 posts)That shoe fits a lot of people here, IMHO.
These are the same ones that are first in line to explain why it is a good thing that Obama capitulates every time the teabaggers cry a little bit about the nation's finances. They are the ones who are first to say why refusing to support unions in Wisconsin is just one of his genius 12-dimensional moves. They are the first to say that you have to be pragmatic and let the Republicans kill Medicare, Social Security, and the Postal system because, well actually I never hear any coherent reasoning why they supported Obama on those issues.
It is mostly the same ones time after time. In most communities they might be considered trolls that don't share any of the values of he community, but here it is considered part of some big tent concept.
Regarding the children, it is offensive that YOU would imply the rest of us so not care about children. I care about these children just as much as the children that Obama's drones are killing every week. Just as much as the Iraqi children we killed by the thousands, just like the Ugandan children that were slaughtered by the hundreds of thousands without the slightest response from our government. And the millions of children in America who will not have a decent opportunity to make a good life here because of the poverty that results when we spend our treasures enforcing corporate ownership of the rest of the world.
THAT is what I find offensive.
