"You didn't get mad when"... The mirror version.

As many of you know I wrote a piece on DU last August called "You Didn't Get Mad When" about the Tea Baggers protesting Health Care reform. The piece went viral as an e-mail and was seen all over the internet and read on many Liberal Talk Radio shows. Somehow I get the feeling this isn't going to go over quite as well…

We didn't get mad when DADT wasn't repealed.

We didn't get mad when full equal rights for our GLBT brothers and sisters were again put on the back burner.

We didn't get mad when Guantanamo wasn't closed.

We didn't get mad when the war in Afghanistan was stepped up.

We didn't get mad when the Patriot act was renewed.

We didn't get mad when a crappy HCR bill was shoved down our throats.

We didn't get mad when, in one of the brashest violations of Freedom and the Constitution, the Obama administration legalized the assassination of a US citizen without a trial or the right to face his accusers. American Death Squads. Woo Hoo!

We didn't get mad when the Obama Administration announced increases in funding for more Nuclear Power.

We didn't get mad when the Obama administration announced increases in offshore drilling. (yeah that one worked out well didn't it)

We didn't get mad when the Obama administration announced the deadline for troop pullouts in Iraq was going to be missed.

Today the Obama administration announced that because things are going so well, because we have so much spare time and money, we are going to start putting troops at the border to stem the illegal flow of housekeepers and gardeners into America.

So ya pissed off yet?

You know, I have wanted to post this for awhile as I know I and many DU'ers have been railing against the Democrats hard move to the right. I believe the "last straw" for me was the "Death Squads". The right not to be killed on the word of the government alone, the right to face your accuser and be judged by a jury of your peers was one of the basic reasons for the "creation" of America. The blatant violation of these basic human rights was and is disgusting. And had the Bush administration pulled this shit DU would have been up in fucking arms about it. But since it was the nice well spoken Democrat who did it, well… not a peep.

I have spoken out on each of the issues I listed here. And many more that I didn't bother to address in this thread. And for my trouble I have been labeled a "racist", a "hater", a "whiner", a person who "didn't get their pony", a Sarah Palin enabler, and many other wonderful things. I have been told that it will be MY FAULT when the Republicans take back control of the government.

If the government falls back into the hands of the Republicans, it will not be my fault, or the fault of liberals who didn't support the Obama administration. It will be the fault of the Obama administration for not supporting the Liberals who made this all possible for them.

A simple search will find it.
