But a casual survey of postings at DU, a "Progressive" Website will confirm Chris Hedge's observation.

As long as it is Obama & "The Democrats" increasing Military Spending and escalating The Useless Wars, it is A-OK with far too many people who claim to be "Progressive" or "Liberal".

Many Democrats were elected to Congress in 2006, and 2008 because they pledged to block spending for The Wars.
What happened? :shrug:

Oh yeah. THIS happened.

Obama unleashed the Winged Monkeys on their asses.
He made them an offer they couldn't refuse....Chicago style.
...and people say Obama can't play hardball!
He CAN, when he is playing against the Democratic Wing of the Democratic Party.


"There are forces within the Democratic Party who want us to sound like kinder, gentler Republicans. I want us to compete for that great mass of voters that want a party that will stand up for working Americans, family farmers, and people who haven't felt the benefits of the economic upturn."---Paul Wellstone
