A Dweam Whidin a Dweam

Okay, Dems - what gives? If you're going to get all puffy and pink about the Patriot Act and Gitmo under Bush (and rightly so, imo), how then, pray tell, do you maintain that teenage crush for Mr. Hope and Change?

How do you deal with that NDAA thing that the president just signed into law this last New Years Eve? You know, where it gives the military authority to take American citizens from their homes and imprison them indefinitely without charge and without trial - without having to explain their reasons for doing so - or even that they HAVE done so? Yep, it's that bad. It's hard to think of a greater violation of the Bill of Rights by the former Constitutional law professor. Where's the outrage?

What about the stepped up drone attacks - those modern day, Team America, take-this-you-bastards assassinations? How do we know the targets are actually legit? What - because O is doing it accountability isn't necessary? What of the innocent civilians being killed in the crossfire? Did they only matter prior to inauguration day, 2009?

What of the unnecessary, armed and dangerous, military-style raids on the likes of raw-milk sellers and classic guitar producers? Or the continued imprisoning of non-violent drug users and the federal crack-down on state sanctioned medical marijuana facilities?

These were your issues, Dems. When your guy betrays them, it seems that you should be making the most noise. Aren't the issues more than the man?

  1. Aren't the issues more than the man? No. The issues are merely smokescreens for the REAL issues, which are hidden behind the man, but revealed in his book...or should I say, "His Book"?
