If Darren Wilson isn't charged with murder, we will have normalized legal police murder.

75. I'm on the side that is right.

I'm opposed to war especially when we don't have a plan to win, we are just fighting to keep from losing. In that case, I am opposed to the authoritarians.

I am opposed to environmental destruction. I don't believe that individual property rights supersede the need of the public at large to have safe air and water. I am with the authoritarians who act to prevent this from happening.

I could go on, but you see, speaking for myself, and I'm sure a few others. There are times and circumstances in which we are the opposition to the authoritarians, and times in which we support them.

It depends on the goals, and the actions. We may herald a soldier who shows bravery and saves his mates from certain death by killing those who are trying to kill the troops. the majority here would almost certainly demand that soldier be tried and convicted if he tortured people for information.

We are not automatically for, or against the authorities. We tend to work pretty hard to get them elected. We are on a case by case basis the foundation, or the people protesting.

I support and defend the President when he's right. I blast the President when I think he's wrong.

Same President, different issues, and my responses were different. When I believe he is acting properly, doing what I believe needs to be done, then he has my full throated support without reservation. When President Obama is doing somthing I disagree with, then he has my full throated opposition. I always respect the President. I always will. I will not be a boot licking lackey that walks around behind someone going "Oh how right and wise you are sir".

I think most of the folks on this board feel the same way.
