Concho: Thanks for the well reasoned response, something conspicuously missing from the modern American political climate. We are so busy labeling each other “Conservative” or “Liberal”, “right” or “left” wing that we’re missing the overall point: There is no more distinction between the parties anymore.

I’ve had more Democrats in my face over the warmongering of Dubya (a President I never voted for, ironically enough) and, when I respond with Clinton’s record, I’m invariably called a liar.

I worry about Obama because I feel the beautiful rhetoric (and he is an excellent orator) obscures what he truly believes and is really about. I’ve noticed any attempts to call this into question on this thread are greeted with charges of racism. Again, no dialogue or discourse, just ad hominem catcalls.

We need to wake up and smell the coffee before its too late, but, as Americans, that has never been something we’re particularly good at. As far as the bombings and invasions go, well, that is something that we’re particularly good at.
