Seriously. How does Barry and company stack up against these statements. Please, let me know.
1. Liberals are repelled by war, and therefore believe that it should be used only when necessary.
NOTE -- Guantanamo remains open, warrant-less wiretapping continues, and drone strikes have accelerated, leading to the deaths of innocent civilians and a burst in support for anti-American forces in Yemen, Pakistan and Somalia. Instead of breaking with the Bush era, Obama has codified and permanently institutionalized the “war on terror” framework that has characterized American foreign policy since the September 11, 2001 attacks. And they have done all of this largely in secret, refusing to open up about how drone strikes are decided on.
At the University of Michigan, in 2012, Michael Hayden, former Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) director under President George W. Bush, said, “Obama came to embrace Bush’s positions. Both Bush and Obama said the country was at war. The enemy was al-Qaida. The war was global in nature. And the United States would have to take the fight to the enemy, wherever it may be.”
Hayden noted “targeted killings” had “increased under Obama.” They had gone up because he closed CIA “black site” prisons and ended torture of detainees. Capturing terror suspects for imprisonment became “politically dangerous,” so Obama took another route: he just decided to kill them all. (Of which, Hayden said: “I don’t morally oppose that.”)
2. Civil liberties are part and parcel of the rule of law in our country. They are written into our Constitution for very good reason. They include those proclaimed in our Bill of Rights, including freedom of the press, freedom of religion, freedom of speech, freedom of assembly, freedom against unreasonable searches and seizures, the right to a fair trial, and freedom from cruel or unusual punishment inflicted by government, among others.
NOTE -- Really? Not enough room to write about Executive Orders, DHS, NDAA, Drone killings, Treatment of Boston CITIZENS, and on and on and on. "Civil liberties" is a joke now, and what began under Shrub has been escalated under Barry.
3. Liberals believe in the part of our Declaration of Independence that says that everyone is entitled to “the pursuit of happiness”. Another way of saying this is that they believe that all Americans should have the opportunity for a fulfilling life. That means the right to health care, a decent education, a safe and healthy workplace, a healthful environment, a secure environment, and a place to live, among other things.
NOTE -- Another way of saying "ALL AMERICANS should have the opportunity for a fulfilling life," I suppose, is to say, "Everyone except those working hard and paying taxes; oh, and the right to a FULFILLING LIFE extends to illegal aliens and prisoners (over those pesky, tax-paying citizens).
4. Liberals believe in the rule of law. They understand that our Constitution forms the foundation for our legal system, and accordingly they believe it must be protected and fought for.
NOTE -- See all above. Write a book! From using political power to lock up someone like Zimmerman when the "law" clearly had no right to charge him, to "droning" citizens, to kicking in people's doors and abusing them, to forcing old people out of their homes in bare feet. There is NO rule of law under this current gov't anymore, and if you think so, once again, you are delusional.
How can you actually be happy to claim that title in defense of those in charge? You must truly be terrified of them, because you are not stupid. Most of the sheeple are actually "delusional." The fact that the gov't now knows they have 50% as mindless, controlled morons, and the other 50% as terrified, whipped and beat down puppets must mean the time is short, and all those end-time prophecies you do not believe in, will soon come to pass.
