Before Obama was innaugurated, I was opposed to illegal detention in Guantanamo.
Before Obama was innaugurated, I was a strong supporter of civil liberties.
Before Obama was innaugurated, I believed that the rich in this country were pampered and not fairly contributing.
Before Obama was innaugurated, I actively worked to enforce responsible environmental policies.
Before Obama was innaugurated, I felt that there was an attack on unions that had to be addressed from the very top.
Unfortunately I was duped into believing that the candidate I was voting for shared these values, and beliefs. I was fooled then but I won't be fooled again.
I was also under the impression that the majority of the folks I shared this forum with were in agreement with these positions. Then I came to find out that many were more interested in the cult of personality than they were in issues.
And now those who have had consistent values are attacked by those who are star-struck.
