Some opposed "freedom carpet bombing" in the sixties and many of them do not think that killing a group of innocents to get a man that may or may not be there or may or may not be guilty because the lover of freedom bombs wears the appropriate jersey with the obligatory and yet insincere (D) embroidered on the lapel.
Some people believe what was once the Democratic platform, some will not applaud killing just because they think it is some sort of football game.
Some realize that the agenda should be what is good for the country rather than what is good for the MIC or other lobbyists that foot the bill for the politicians and their money games.
In short some still have a moral compass.
Why do you support killing so easily without question or remorse?
Why do you support the standards set by George W Bush? Are you perhaps not a Democrat?
It is getting harder and harder to tell these days now that right wing views get so much approval from supposedly left wing sources.
I have so many questions about the new and rising moral ambiguity coming from the right of the Democratic party.
I have been a Democrat for over 35 years and I have to say that only recently would a Democrat not understand that evil is, well evil.
Stealing issues from Republicans and calling them left wing is more akin to lying IMHO.
But I am older and less sociopathic than the newer generation of Democrats.
Perhaps I am no longer wanted or needed because I still hold the same views my party once did.
Perhaps you are the future, unfortunately.
