An excellent article by Glenn Greenwald that reveals the real face of the democratic establishment.
Democratic establishment unmasked: prime defenders of NSA bulk spying. The Obama administration made common cause with the House Republican leadership
From the link above:
One of the worst myths Democratic partisans love to tell themselves - and everyone else - is that the GOP refuses to support President Obama no matter what he does. Like its close cousin - the massively deceitful inside-DC grievance that the two parties refuse to cooperate on anything - it's hard to overstate how false this Democratic myth is. When it comes to foreign policy, war, assassinations, drones, surveillance, secrecy, and civil liberties, President Obama's most stalwart, enthusiastic defenders are often found among the most radical precincts of the Republican Party.
This is really worth reading. As Greenwald points out, when people like Michele Bachmann are enthusiastic supporters of the Obama administrations' NSA spying policy, something must be really wrong with it.
Unfortunately Greenwald is also very right on this:
The sooner the myth of "intractable partisan warfare" is dispelled, the better. The establishment leadership of the two parties collaborate on far more than they fight. That is a basic truth that needs to be understood.
In contrast to Obama and his allies, there are still some democrats willing to stand by the principles. Lets hope they will keep getting elected in congress.
