The Dumpster Fire of Obama's Moral Authority

[sabrina 1]

122. Down with the Constitution and up with War Crimes? Is that what you intended to

convey, or maybe you just didn't read it.

In case you didn't here's the short version. Torture is illegal under our laws and under International law. Cheney/Bush/Rumsfeld et al broke those laws.

Right Wingers cheered them on. WE otoh, Democrats spent the entire Bush years OPPOSING the violations of those laws, working to kick out the criminals so that finally, the Rule of Law would be restored.

We were joined by every Human and Civil Rights organization in this country and elsewhere.

WE WON. Finally. We kicked them out of the Senate, the WH and the House with promises of a restoration of the Rule of Law.

Now we are told by the President we elected to restore the Rule of Law, that the torturers were patriots, just a little scared and we should 'understand' them.

While we, that would be Democrats, should not be Sanctimonious about it. That is a familiar word, often used by the Third Way to describe the base of the Dem Party btw.

Your thumbs down means what? I don't want to assume anything. Emoticons on their own don't contribute much to discussion forums.
