(11,213 posts)that you don't do any of the things you say. You were very dismissive of liberal voters in the US in your post to which I originally replied. You were disrespectful toward those of us trying to steer the ship of the Democratic party away from the rocks of neo-conservativism.
You do not know what is happening because of a center right leaning president. If you do know, then you need to answer my questions about issues and how you feel about them. Your support for whatever Obama does without any conviction to support those actions is dismissive because it is simple idolatry, simple star power worship.
So. Do you support privatizing public schools? Do you support suppressing the treason of dick cheney? Do you support continuing the war in Iraq? (If so do you support Canada sending troops to fight ISIS on the ground?) Do you support bailouts for Wall Street super rich at the cost of jobs and security for the middle class? Do you support unwarranted surveillance of private citizens phone, email, and browsing?
See. These are issues. Now I can get behind the idea that Obama is cuter than hell. But you took issue with me not being blindly supportive of his infatuation with neo-con goals. Tell me your position on the issues and then you and I can "respect" each other's views. Right now, you don't seem to have any. I'm sorry if that seems dismissive, but I simply can't respect what I don't know.
And I find it disrespectful for you to tell Americans how they should vote. i wouldn't tell you how to vote in Canada without any knowledge of the issues.
