I asked someone why my book group said that under Bush we were losing our civil rights but now they show no fear of losing them under this president. The answer was so simple. Because this time it's their guy and they don't fear him.
When Bush chose to hold people who were captured, I felt no fear and I supported him because he was my guy and I trusted his choices over who he felt were threats to us in this perilous world.
Now those who love and trust Obama feel the same way.
Obama claims he will protect us, not pick up people just to show his power, and examine each case to be sure we are not releasing terrorists or holding individuals who we feel are not a danger. Well, let's wait to see how this works out.
Now that Obama is president and sees the daily briefings, he's getting the taste of how it is easy as a campaigner who wants the votes of those who love the song Imagine to make broad statements about the egregiousness of the Bush administration, but he has responsibility for our safety and it is not so easy to act on that silly rhetoric when the ball is in his court.
It won't take long, Rayarena, to see if Obama will be responsible or tyrannical. On this I am willing to give him the benefit of the doubt for now. Let's just be vigilant as we watch this unfold and when he does the wrong thing, let's call him on it loud and clear.

>>I refer here to Obama’s plan for “preventive detentions.” If a cop or other government official thinks you might want to commit a crime someday, you could be held in “prolonged detention.”<< "Preventive Detentions" is like castro's "Pre-criminal Dangerous Law," wherein anyone can be arrested without committing a "crime" if he is deemed capable of committing that crime. Every day I realize more and more that we are living in nothing more and nothing less than a Fabian Socialist Society.

I love Rush Limbaugh. Neither he nor I is duplicitous or hypocritical. I am a true blue conservative.
What is your interest in writing here? Why does it thrill you so to say insulting things to people on a website you don't agree with just because you don't agree?
What is it you want for this country that Obama is going to come around and provide for you? What is it we deserve?

Why such gnashing of teeth? I probably don't agree with you but that doesn't mean I wish you harm. No, what I wish you is love and a dawning of intelligence.

I agree with Ted Rall that President Obama has been a terrible disappointment. But he will eventually come around and give you duplicitous and hypocritical little Limbaughs what you deserve.

This does nothing for me. I get no thrill if a kook leftist isn't satisfied that Obama is not left enough for him.

No, I will celebrate when a reasonable liberal or moderate sees that Obama is dangerous. I still cannot cope with how easily so many thinking people fell under Obama's spell and cannot be awakened from it.

Ha...now's when they realize he's a piece a shit just like all the rest. Of course, what's troubling is that the SOB isn't extreme enough for them. Like he hasn't done enough damage already for those miserable bastards. Lets hope the internecine warfare continues...
