Ruminations of Double Standards in Policy

[coredumped]

Yes I've seen those, but they're nothing to the scale of these idiots. You also seem to be making my point, Obama has done more drone strikes, put more whistleblowers in jail, and been at war longer than any other president ever.
But the left is mostly quiet.
There's certainly a double standard. Yes, Bush started a lot of the government over reach with the patriot act, but Obama has extended it.

There was a time when Republicans were for smaller government and Democrats were anti-war and pro citizen rights.
That line has been blurred, the 2 parties almost identical.

The outrage is from people who don't (yet) realize that.

And democrats have been protesting the wars the entire obama administration.  Its not republicans that have staged any meaningful protests against drone attacks, incidentally.  I mean you see them bring it up on blogs and stuff, but nothing meaningful.  The news just doesnt broadcast all of the protests any more.

Yet they continue to vote the people waging those wars into office....

like who?

Sorry, I left off the D.  Continued.

Well you could start with Obama, you know, commander in chief?

Ended the war.  That's a good one.  Somehow we still have boots on the ground and drones flying around blowing shit up.  But it's not a war.  They're just there for peace keeping.

And what level of activism do I have?  Zero.  I'm glad you can pay yourself on the back about yours though.  Congratulations.

Nope.  Just pointing out that the Democrats who "have been protesting the wars the entire obama administration" apparently didn't really care that much about the wars.  Plus, why would they keep protesting wars that you said Obama ended before this second term?

[acme54321]

Haha.  When was the last time we launched a drone strike on Japan or Germany?

And you pointed out that Dems kept voting for the people who started the wars.

Actually I didn't.  Although I'm sure it would fit your narrative better.
