This thread is a great example of half the problem though. Americans are so divided and blinded by who's side they're on that they think it's a victory when their guy does what the other guy did. Rather than pointing fingers at each other and calling people out, we should be calling the government out, right and left. I don't see that happening any time soon though.

You mean you coming "around" while being Governed under a Democratic President is just a coincidence? And in only 3 years?





8 years of GWB, dickwad....you had 8 years to figure out what you're just figuring out now.

We warned you knuckle draggers this was going to happen.


We falsely believed that Obama would undo them, but when the erosions happened initially, we told many on the OP that they would HATE it when a democrat assumed the same powers.


Turns out we were right.



Congressional oversite of Presidential appointments has now been circumvented by Obama. Democrats are going to HATE when Congress can't block appointments like they did regarding G.W. Bush.

civil liberties are something liberals hold dear.



Liberals, yes. Libtards like yourself, obviously not.


You will vote for Obama again despite the fact that he is responsible for us having less civil liberties than we had under Bush.






I didn't vote for Obama in 2008 nor will I now. Stop projecting your weakness onto your betters.

Sure, but most of us on the right also opposed the Patriot Act from day one and became more and more aware and pissed off with Bush as the years went by and he kept eroding (more like destroying) our freedoms.


Outposters on the left, however, are still backing Osamba even though he is the same thing as Bush.

Only if you take it the wrong way. That isn't a compliment to Obama. I'm insulting the criminally ignorant, willfully stupid and incredibly easy to manipulate electorate.
