Okay. At what point are we at DU -not- allowed to question Obama's actions and inactions?

Seriously, to the Admins. There will of course be those who believe no questioning should ever happen, regardless. There are those such as myself, who voted for him and tried to support him but now emphatically can not, and who wish for another candidate in his place.

There will most obviously be conflict over and between these positions.

What is allowed and what is not?

I understand that bashing for the sake of bashing, to derail and to attempt to get people to not vote at all is unacceptable. Considering that Republicans are still attempting to gain office, I agree that it is unacceptable. The republicans are an unconscionable possibility. BUT...where shall the lines be drawn?

I cannot forgive Obama for saying and doing NOTHING during months of nearly fatal police brutality against peaceful protesters engaging their Constitutional RIGHTS, for sending troops this week to the mideast, for signing the NDAA without any sort of fight, for...for...it goes on and on. I want a different Democratic candidate for 2012...you see what I mean. Thank you in advance.

#Occupied: The Kingdom Day Parade, Crenshaw Blvd. (South Central) Los Angeles

By Occupy the Dream and Occupy the Hood LA. Important because for some reason ($$$) those who kicked out #Occupy LA and their civil rights using 1,400 cops, were on a car in the parade: Mayor Villain, Charlie Beck, police chief; Baca, head sheriff; and Carmen Trutanich, who a year ago publicly stated a desire to punish protesters...much less their terrible influence and track record regarding skid row, four blocks from city hall, and horrid, brutal police track records against the inner city:



Those "public servants" do not belong in a parade celebrating the giant of Civil Rights. Shame on them. SHAME.

Word is that there are already a lot of tents at #Occupy Congress.

A LOT of tents at Occupy Congress already. -Anonyops

These livestreams are currently off-air but I believe all of them are at the event, so tune in later. You'll know if its live if it says "USTREAM live" instead of "USTREAM recorded live".

"Greater individual state power" is to me a reason repubs want "smaller federal government".

They can set up their own little feifdoms, do power grabs, divide and conquer the entire country.

It would be ugly beyond imagining.

Quick petition to ban the use of bee-killing pesticides.

It is said that bee populations increase in size when this pesticide is removed from their environment.

Obama has destroyed the bill of rights and done NOTHING to protect peaceful protesters from police riots across the nation over a period of months. ENOUGH. Out with him. In with a candidate who will do the will of the people, not steal it! Protesting injustice is patriotic even if it is a democratic president who is being unjust. Blindly supporting such injustice is deadly dangerous. Creating a better democratic candidate is patriotic!

We must never be blind to deadly flaws in those whom we have given great power. We must never be quiet when we are harmed. We must always seek a positive solution!
