In reply to the discussion: Obama repeals Magna Carta, asserting powers our forefathers denied to Kings [View all]truth2power
(8,219 posts)This is a serious issue, with frightening implications, whether being enacted by Bush or by Obama himself.
Do not be deterred by the silliness being posted by some in this thread. Why anyone would want to minimize the danger to our civil liberties posed by this policy is beyond me.
When looking for support for a progressive issue, I find that its always a good idea to check out various sources, as any reasonable critical thinker would do.
It's been my observation, from looking at other progressive websites, that DU often doesn't accurately reflect the stance of the progressive community in general. Why this should be, I have no idea, but I can tell you that credible individuals are absolutely outraged by this, and they aren't holding back just because it's Obama that's doing it. It is what it is; I'm only the messenger.
This is wrong on so many levels, and nothing you have said is beyond the pale.
Peace.
