In reply to the discussion: Martin Sheen Has Harsh Words For Progressives Critical of Obama [View all]gratuitous
(82,849 posts)13. Thank you for your concern
Try as I might, though, I just can't seem to trim my ideals to fit the fashion, Mr. Sheen. Perhaps you could suggest some ways for me to get over this unnatural attachment I have for the Constitution, and thinking that it would be better for our government to follow it rather than work so assiduously to subvert it. From what I've seen, the people who can just turn off the "speedy trial" and "due process of law" principles are far happier with the way our government is working, and I'd like to be that happy too.
Thanks in advance for any help you can render!

There are many brave progressives that see the fallacy of thought of some on their side.

Obama is wrong on nuclear power, wrong to let HCR pass without a PO, but we know you still love us
