If his agenda is to point out that most of the protest and complaints from the left were not really about Bush's policies (which Obama seems to have adopted wholesale), but about gaining political traction and destroying your nation for purely partisan political purposes, then his agenda is one that I support. As has been pointed out, if you protest and complain because of your convictions (even if I disagree with them), then I would place you in the "honorable" category of politicians and protesters. If you protested and complained about Bush, but are giving Obama a free ride for doing essentially the same thing, then I place you in the "hypocrite" and "selfish partisan" category. (Not necessarily "you" personally, Mike, but generically.) To be honest, I have questioned why we are doing this. I have also questioned those who felt Obama wasnt doing things fast enough. I have also questioned Bush and his decision to tell the country that we were going in because of WMD, yet he left Saudi get away scott free. quote:
There seems to be a gaping hole of silence from many, both here on the boards, in the media, and within the ranks of our "elected statesmen" who protested - sometimes violently - about Bush's actions, but are "ho hum" about Obama's actions and policies: which are basically the same as Bush's actions and policies. ("Ho hum"? Hell, they are justifying and supporting those actions, now that it's Obama, and not Bush!) This particular incident (the use of US military forces against a "sovereign nation") simply highlights who the partisans and hypocrites really are. So, yes, Sanity's agenda is certainly worthy of discussion. As are the actions, words and agenda of anyone engaged in the political realm. I dont view their actions as similar. Can either you, Firm, or Sanity show me where I am missing the correlation?
