I’ve been watching a bunch of the Royal Society for the encouragement of Arts’ videos lately, and I especially have been enjoying their animated lectures. There’s one narrated by Jeremy Rifkin that talks about the myths of human nature and the need to achieve an empathic civilization. It raises important issues about human consciousness and how humans have related to each other in the past and how we need to learn to relate if our survival is worth ensuring.

When one takes the time to read liberal blogs a pattern quickly becomes apparent. When one is so entangled in the system of our government it obscures what one is actually cheering for or raging against. The line, ideologically speaking, becomes so blurred that thankfully one is able to determine which people deserve cheering or choking with a simple initial next to their name proudly proclaiming R or D! A member such as Arlen Specter, once a Republican and embodying everything “wrong” with our society, can change his party affiliation and suddenly this baptism allows for the ignoring of his policy beliefs by the liberal masses.

Keep in mind while reading the following that this president was elected on a campaign of “change.” That he won his election denigrating the “failed policies of the past.” Reminding oneself of these facts becomes a cruel joke when compared to the very things that he has since done. Anyone still defending Obama has to either be doing so out of refusal to admit to one’s mistakes, or has simply embraced a “team Democrat” philosophy and that as long as Barack Obama has a little “D” next to his name, he could skull-fuck Santa Claus and liberals would find some way to defend it. “It’s not what I would have done,” you can almost hear one say, “but he is the president and so knows a lot more about the situation than we do!” I want to know what third-dimensional chess excuse we get now that reports show that the White House has basically given up closing our concentration camp in Guantanamo Bay and his latest public mockery of those who would call for an end to hostilities in Afghanistan.

With the recent unfortunate events of Israel’s storming of a flotilla bound for the Gaza Strip with aid supplies, one hopes (futilely) that the U.S. rethinks its relationship with the apartheid state of Israel. Though even as I am writing this draft, sources are coming out everywhere denying any possibility of this, with even our vice president coming out to defend the Israel’s murderous actions. I admit up-front that my hopes are futile as the actions of one death-state should hardly offend its death-state allies.

Richard, over at American Leftist, highlighted an article (Thanks, Jack Crow) advertising Obama’s assertion that Iran is attempting to build nuclear weapons. Forgive me for being skeptical of a US president claiming evidence of WMD in a country in the Middle East, but the world has seen no such evidence and too many have died over similar assertions. Unless you have some ultra-secret new evidence – you’re lying to us. Every agency tasked with finding such evidence has been unable to do so.

As the Obama agenda slowly crash lands, many in the liberal community are seeing their hopes go along with it – causing them to strike out in, what I think, several wrong directions.Liberal blogs flash headlines across their sites identifying the latest turncoat Democrats: enemies of the state; traitors to Obama’s administration. I too have been guilty of this, even starting this blog with a letter to Senator Lieberman attacking him for his destruction of the Senate’s healthcare reform bill. But I’d like to take a nuanced opinion of this in the future as more and more becomes obvious to me about the status quo of our country and how fiercely it is protected. It’s true, Senators like Lieberman, Nelson, Landrieu, and Lincoln should have the full force of the Left’s anger and those aforementioned liberal blogs are right in attacking them. However, it’s the angle of attack and source of the anger that I’ve decided needs to change.

One of the myriad of ways Barack Obama tricked Americans into voting for him was to promise the LGBT community the repeal of the military’s Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell policy that allows for active discrimination against the nation’s gay community.
