Paul Krugman: Obama Has 'Largely Accepted Conservative View Of The World'
Sunday, November 21, 2010
I have watched the DLC take the DemocraticParty farther to the right each election cycle, promising change & reform, blaming the lack of it on voters for not electing enough Democrats liberals progressives, all the while the party leaders are bankrolling pro-corporate DINOs over true liberals & cooperating with Republicans in Congress.
Never are the party leaders using the bully pulpit of their offices to educate or inform the American people as to the great traditions of liberal Democracy & how the People have prospered under liberal Democrats.
Obama continues just about all of the Bush-Cheney policies. He's blocked all investigations & prosecutions into Bush-Cheney, on everything from their war crimes and the economic meltdown. He continues the failed wars in Iraq & Afghanistan, expanding them into Yemen, Somalia, Pakistan, and before you know it, Iran. Obama appeals the DADT ruling when not appealing it would just end it. Obama appealed the DOMA ruling with an argument that gay marriage is equivalent to incest and pedophilia. Obama chose to give massive payoffs to Big Insurance & PhRma (and a rider ending women's access to ab0rtion) instead of opting for real healthcare reform. Then there's Obama's finance reform legislation that neither reforms nor fixes nor prevents economic meltdowns.
How does any Democratic voter defend Obama after he asserts he has the right to k!ll any American citizen with no due process or oversight? And 'preventive detention'? And his claims of 'state secrets' to deny courts even look at his a$a$ination program?
Krugman didn't go far enough, and your complacency, your denial, is what enables it, and will be the de@th of us all.
