A Quandary for the Left and Right

• strike-the-root.com
 A lot of time this agreement is in name only. We find conservatives happy to support the welfare state as long as federal funds are being dispersed to their state.  And liberals have largely rolled over on their anti-war sentiments , which seem to have mostly been anti-Bush sentiments. With a Democratic president having inherited Bush’s war powers, Obama’s policies such as keeping Guantanamo Bay open or bombing Pakistan and Yemen have gained bipartisan support.

People, it seems, will rush to defend a personality they like since they can overlook any flaws in his or her character. These people are the voters who exercise the supposed civic virtue of voting, ensuring that whoever is the next president, this person will inherit all of the current president’s war and police state powers . Democracy!
