A daily blog in defense of liberalism and the President.
I can no longer tolerate the right bashing Obama and calling him a Nazi. I know they are insane and I know they don’t care what bullshit they through out into the world, but it is unconscionable for them to call him a Nazi and compare President Obama to Hitler. If anyone is acting like a brown shirt it is these crazy people disrupting what should be civil meetings used for discourse and the furthering of democracy and understanding of the issues on all sides, but instead they are blowing up these townhall meetings and bulling people and then sadly being defended by most media outlets as just upset citizens trying to get their message across. This is how democracy dies, when bullies rule and the fourth estate is behind them cheering them on. It would be somewhat different if they actually had an agenda other than to just cause havoc, but unfortunately they don’t have a reasonable alternative to healthcare reform, and most of the trilobites protesting have no idea what the real issues are they have just been convinced through lies and their own slanted views of the world that Obama and the Democrats want to socialize medicine and everything else. Not that most of these idiots could even tell you what socialism, but they have heard Rush is against it and that is enough for them.
So I say to President Obama, Sir, I respect you and admire you, and understand how you want to look forward and not back. However you are under attack form the right and the crazies in this country who are calling you a Nazi and comparing you to Hitler. Well I am not going to call our last President a Nazi, or Hitler, but I will say he and many in his Administration are without question war criminals and war profiteers. They need to be punished. We need to shut up the crazies who would call you a Nazi, by putting those who truly broke the law and disregarded human rights on trial and letting the world and our own citizens know that know one is above the law, and America is a country with integrity and values that is ran by the rule of law, and not the rule of the powerful and mob mentality. To let the Bushies go unpunished is to say to the right that what was done to America and its image and stature around the world was completely fine and their no consequences for their actions. It truly emboldens the enemies of democracy in this country and around the world to allow what they did to stand, if you allow them to laugh at the law and subvert the Constitution then you have done a disservice to our country and history will remember that you could have stood up for right, but for political expediency you chose to do nothing. If you sir and the Democratic Party do not stand up to the right then they will certainly not go away, no just the opposite they will become louder and louder, and if they successfully kill healthcare then they will have a proven play book to make sure than none of your progressive agenda ever gets passed again. So please I beg you Mr. President, stand up to the right and those who would destroy our democracy and say, NO MORE! For if you don’t your entire agenda and all the promise you came into office with might be lost, and I for one did not vote for you to see that happen.
Finally I come to the Philosopher of the Week, Confucius, who said, "Study the past, if you would divine the future." This is why we need to expose the evils of the last eight years, so they are never allowed to happen again. Confucius also wrote, "The object of the superior man is truth." There is nothing more important than truth, I wish we had more of it in our social discourses and I certainly wish it had more stature in our culture, sadly it does not. Well friends next week I will be bringing you someone everyone has heard of and some people even pray too, but until then goodbye...
