61. Interesting to observe how expressed support for a Democratic president and his policies...

.... that virtually everyone I know, including myself, actively supported...

... has merged with more or less uncritical support for a set of unabashedly CONSERVATIVE policies.

Pro-war, anti-union, anti-teacher, anti-"liberal," anti-GLBT rights, pro-offshore drilling, against trying Bush era war criminals, etc, etc...

How did it come to this?

Was it something we could or should have anticipated a year or two ago?

I barely recognize some of the statements here as related in any way to the Democratic party as I knew it, or my father knew it for that matter.
