America's "progressive" Democrats who voted for Obama, again, now pretend to not want what they voted for... that all the world got when "progressive" Democrats got what they voted for.

historic fascism:

the point in history when the great leader of the most militarized nation that has ever existed assumed personal power to routinely casually order flying robots to murder any person, anytime, anywhere upon the planet, whenever that great leader decides any someone somewhere should be murdered because that person might possibly say or do something that the historic great leader doesn't want said or done

I tuned into C Span this afternoon and Sen Weyden of OR, I think that's the one, was questioning him on them and it's coming up in another meeting next week.

also the targeting of US citizens without due process.

the cops may already be using drones as "law enforcement" enhancements. think of it, instead of an arrest or search warrant, a drone flight to take care of you. Due Process? (sic), Justice? (sic), not in post constitutional America. And the President being a constitutional scholar. Methinks he may have been napping in class, those he was teaching.

David J. says "America's 'progressive' Democrats who voted for Obama, again, now pretend to not want what they voted for... that all the world got when 'progressive' Democrats got what they voted for."

And what makes you an authority on what's in my head, or anyone else's? These kinds of statements are divisive and outrageously unfair. I voted for Obama, and I've had my regrets. But I owe you no apologies.

Elections in this country have gotten to be such a joke. Our choices have been narrowed down to the "lesser of two evils" or to candidates so marginalized by our corporate media, they haven't a snowball's chance in hell of getting elected. And I still believe that Empty Suit and his pip squeak running mate were far worse. I did the best I could with what was available to me. Sorry if you don't like it. I've had my fill of comments like this from fellow progressives who seem to take some sort of perverse pleasure in dumping on the rest of us who voted for Obama. So your shit doesn't stink... Hooray for you! Would you like your butt kissed; would that make your day? - Aliceinwonderland

Consummate evil is the end product the many decades of "lesser evil" voting produced.

"It's a most peculiar set of 'principles' and 'logic' that liberals have, which habitually compels them to vote for far more of the evil they've said they opposed... and then claim that they've lessened the evil that they have so obviously made greater."

"Thom Hartmann channels the best of the American Founders with voice and pen. His deep attachment to a democratic civil society is just the medicine America needs."

From Screwed:
"Hartmann speaks with the straight talking clarity and brilliance of a modern day Tom Paine as he exposes the intentional and systematic destruction of America’s middle class by an alliance of political con artists and outlines a program to restore it. This is Hartmann at his best. Essential reading for those interested in restoring the institution that made America the envy of the world."
