Thank (your choice here) for this group! [View all]

I'm really losing my stomach for the other groups here. It's getting hard to find a dime's worth of difference between the trolls and some of the supposedly faithful posters. The need for absolute purity is as bad as it is in RW wackoland. I'm not happy about the NSA stuff, but come on...how far did whining, complaining and demands for purity get us back in 2010 when Democrats stayed home during the elections? There's a huge difference between Obama and Bush, and I'm tired of folks saying they're the same. Spying has been going on FOREVER...it's not like he's the first President to use the power. At least Obama is following the law, as flawed as that law is. I also remember him telling Congress a few months back that if they didn't like the way he was using the law then TAKE THE POWER AWAY, which the rethugs will NEVER do...they just want only Republicans to be able to use it. If we were attacked again, the same people would be screaming that Obama didn't do everything he could to protect us, and why weren't our security organizations aware of this stuff!! And for some reason, Snowden has been elevated to a combination of Christ and Ghandi.

Anyhow, I plan to spend a lot of time at this forum...it's really the only thing keeping me here at DU. Well, you guys and Sunday Morning LOL Cats.
