"My Head Exploded When Obama Sanctimoniously Said, 'We Tortured Some Folks'"

[johnlucas]

111. Flat Truth. Plain Spoken.

All the juvenile "Republicans are Bad Guys, Democrats are Good Guys" stuff goes right out the window when you put the truth out there plain like that.

Yeah the Republicans are the bad guys but what does that make YOU Democrats when you go along with them?
The Democrats become the bad guys too.

Sad fact is that Obama did his speech with the anti-war crowd because he wasn't in national office yet.
He was just an Illinois State Senator then.
If he WAS a U.S. Senator at the time, I bet money he would have voted just the same as Hillary did.
I bet money he woulda went along with all the rah-rah that was going on back then.

That's why I'm not too attached to these labels of Democrat, Liberal, Progressive, Green, whatever.
I care about your actions.

The Obama administration has proven to me once & for all that you will NEVER get a President for the regular people, for the 99%.
You'll NEVER get someone at that stage of government to be for the common people.
The political class protects their own. It's basic human social group theory. Birds of feather flock together.

The best we can do when voting for those guys is to find someone who we can bend more our way then the other.
Movements change the country not politicians.
Politicians jump on the bandwagon when something popular is going through & sign off on it.
If enough of a population shows their dissatisfaction, the ruler may eventually have no one to rule over.
One vs. Millions is bad odds.

Sure they could fight & wage war on those millions but then that GUARANTEES that the millions know you are against them & they will eventually find a way to depose you.
Smarter rulers concede prizes to keep their power.
You can rule with an iron fist but just don't let it get rusty or you end up like Caesar Nick from Russia.

The Democratic Party is a tool for this coalition of people looking for fairness & progress to USE.
We control IT. It doesn't control US.
Don't expect much from the party under its own right or you will be disappointed.
We have to manipulate the people in that organization to do what we want them to do.
The Democrats ain't the good guys either. They're just the guys we can bend easier.
The more people who keep that in mind the more they will know how to better deal with the world of politics.
