But because partisan politics, and pledges to Grover Norquist are more important than the people, and what is best to the country, I suppose us normal folks have to take the abuse.
You ask as if I like my current president. He is simply better than the other options.
I'm still waiting for the "for the people, by the people part"
So you think me contradictory, because I like the black kenyan in office.
Better than the options sir.
Hypocrite? (does not rhyme with leprosy, kinda a stretch) No, I simply want our rights back, that we bent over and gave them out of fear after 9-11.
Crap like this, the extensions as you mentioned is what makes me believe we are similar to fascist Italy at this point.
But conservatives like the status quo, see my sig on my opinions of how well the status quo works.
Feed the corps, starves the proles. The true southern conservative way.
To think we once freed the slaves, now our government works to make all of slaves to it super PAC benfactors, thanks citizens United decision, a conservative supreme court ruling...
And you wonder why people are forced to democrats?
Give us a viable non partisan choice. No anti tax pledges to Grover Norquist. No backroom dealings with George Soros. For the freaking people, by the people.
or else....
It is our right to change it, regardless of anti protesting laws they may pass. These rights were given to us by our founders, who saw us as free men, not corporate puppets.
So tell us why you hate Obama? I already blew any socialist arguments out the water, it is well established he is as fascist as any (R)...
Sooooo.

Citizens united, while it has crappy consequences, is a correct and sound ruling constitutionally speaking.However, I hate the real world consequences as did the Justices no doubt but that is the difference.The intellectually honest justices(the conservatives) did their job and did not legislate from the bench of vote their political compass, they followed the constitution as a justice is supposed to do, without consideration of what might happen.Liberals were against it and voted against it because in their mind "to hell with the constitution, this might be bad for the process."
Example, I think the catholic church's position on contraception is just outright ignorant of the real world consequences of unwanted pregnancies or too many people in this world, but it is their constitutional right of religious freedom to not offer contraception coverage to their employeesa as well as not having the government try to dictate to them on this issue.Some left leaning judge will no doubt rule against them because of their opinion instead of following the constitution.
