Your generalization is ignorant and arrogant ...
Your whole statement is full of holes. For you to state that the peace movement has been dead for 40 years is bull. It may not be being covered, but that doesn't mean it's dead.
In the 1960's we war protestors filled the streets with vigor. In Boston we caused the Police to riot I was there. I read Scanlon's Magazine the only rag named for an Irish pig farmer. They reported the Weathermen and other protesting radicals bombed establishment facilities at the rate of one per day. The government retaliated by murdering Fred Hampton, Medgar Evers, MLK, RFK, Malcom X, and countless others. The massacres at Kent State and the end of the draft finished the massive war protests as I knew them.
Today, little old ladies in tennis shoes serve tea and cookies.
And yes he needed money for corporate but that speaks more to the corruption of the system as a whole, and when you say "they thought he would be in their hip-pockets", that denotes that you may think he isn't or hasn't always been. He has and is.
Without the bribes, Barack Obama would have lost to the also heavily bribed Hillary Clinton. I also wrote the system is corrupt. You have distorted this by putting words into my mouth. I admitted he followed the bribes earlier, but now he is going to the public to push his radical agenda of health care, education and energy proposals. Moving over the swine in the Congress he is risking his life to recover from the Depression. The man risks his life and the armchair 'leftists' nitpick about his methods.
And why does him burying prosecutions of bush have to be exclusive of him concentrating his efforts on Wall St. at the expense of Main St. and why is that a good policy? And than to go on to accuse lefists as being ignorant of politics is a mass generalization and arrogant.
Leftists allowed Bush to steal two elections and to torture, murder and displace over five millions human beings. We knew what he was doing. Why didn't we protest in the streets like the Hispanics did on the illegal immigrant fiasco? They had success because they believed in their cause and they were willing to put their bodies on the street. [Have you forgotten the Police thugs at MacArthur Park?] Hispanics not even citizens know US politics much better than limousine leftists.
Than the height of your ignorance and arrogance is displayed in your last sentence. How do you know that most of the public is brighter than leftists? And to denote opponents of Obama as monsters without social redeeming qualities is stunning and frightening.
The public [people of color and 43% of white folks] put Obama into the White House. Fifty-five percent of whites voted for McCain, Depression, torture, murder and war.
What are we to expect from Obama's newly formed domestic army if this is the attitude one can expect from them? If you oppose Obama you're going to be looked upon as less that human? As monsters? Jesus Jason, this is the same attitude given N**i Storm Troopers to those that opposed Hitler. It's frightening in its scoop to even read such words.
McCain opposed Obama.
McCain bore the standard for the monsters who murdered liberty and raped our economy. Rush Limbaugh is now the Great White Hope attacking Obama daily with New World Order racist venom.
Rachel Maddow, Keith Olberman and I are the only three white Americans I hear defending Obama.
I oppose Obama, am I a monster and without social redeeming qualities? What would you suggest be done to me? Sent to one of the FEMA camps for "rehabilitation" until I too come to see the God-like qualities in our Fuehrer, I mean president, or gassed if I don't, along with all those ignorant leftists that aren't as smart as you?
I never called you a monster nor would I ever. Indeed, from your comments I assume you are a patriot outraged by the sorry mess current in the USA. Just living there is punishment enough for any evil you may have committed.
You sir have defiantly swallowed the blue pill and I would suggest you cleanse your mind and readjust your thinking pattern for it is dangerously off course.
Thinking my way and expressing my thoughts in a public forum is a very dangerous pastime. Every day human beings face death for supporting freedom of speech. To get an idea of this you might subscribe to Global Voices. Barack Obama is inspiring people from every nation to put our ideals into action.
I am not alone. My cohorts number in the billions.
