(39,909 posts)My post wasn't about President Obama.
I didn't mention his name.
I didn't even refer to him obliquely.
I WAS referring to the blood thirsty crows at DU who support the Drone War
and secret Death Panels.
It is NOT about The Person.
It IS about The Policy.
Historically, in countries where devotion to a Person or loyalty to a Political Party was given a higher priority than commitment to Good Policy, the results have NOT been good.
I do NOT understand this devotion to a person on DU.
It is something alien to me and my long experience as a Loyal Liberal Democrat.
I was taught to Question Authority, and Think for Myself.
Most Democrats of my generation were taught the same,
and I will continue to do so.
I OPPOSE the expansion of the powers of a Unitary Executive,
secret Death Panels, and execution without due process,
NOT because I hate Obama, as you and yours want to believe,
but because I cherish our democracy,
and, after witnessing the failure in Vietnam,
I know that a strategy of Kill-Them-All has ZERO chance of success.
I don't believe you, or any of the others frantically and belligerently defending this new expansion of Presidential Powers, would have supported it if George Bush were still president.
You will know them by their WORKS,
not by their rhetoric, promises, or excuses.
