(86,013 posts)here's the thing, Steve, since you conveniently changed the subject away from what I responded to, it's more of a concern to me that the op couldn't address the issue without making their objection a political defense of a politician.
We have more of a responsibility to speak out against atrocities committed by the politicians that we pay for and vote for, than we do moralizing on someone outside of our country's behavior. If you can't wrap your head around that, I don't know what to say to you and the rest of the knee-jerk defenders of this presidency. That's what this is about, a shallow defense of President Obama, and no one here is fooled or cowed by the ridiculous moralizing about 'equivalencies' or any other finger-wagging ploy y'all use to deflect criticism from the actions of this administration; this administration which is the responsibility of the American people, first and foremost.
