(95,247 posts)This is not a reasoned or disinterested dispute over proper extent or exercise of government power.
It is a political fight, in which one side aims to discredit the other, to hamstring and hobble it in the period before the next election, and to shift the focus from its own lacks and discredits. In this particular fight, one side is composed of tea-bagging traitors, the most un-American bunch to infest our political life since the Confederacy, and their Birch-ite corporate pay-masters; the other side is President Obama and his Administration. I am on one side of this, the only side a person who opposes the most reactionary elements of our political culture can be on in the present situation.
I support President Obama.
I hate and despise his enemies.
