[quote=briansd1]The Republicans wanted and Imperial Presidency. They got what they wanted. Now they are complaining because their man is not in power. Tough luck. Live with what you created.
And why should Obama give up the expanded presidential powers that were handed to him on a silver platter? If I were Obama, I would use those powers to my advantage.[/quote]
Brian: So, following your logic, it then becomes okay for Obama to not only take, but use, the unjustly gained “imperial” powers seized under the Bush Administration?
This is exactly what I referenced before when I mentioned your breathtaking lack of consistency and coherence.
You cannot simultaneously decry and embrace a behavior. It is not only completely contradictory, it is ethically indefensible.
To become what one beholds (if that object is wrong) is wrong. And, no, it is not less wrong or more acceptable, it is still just as wrong.
For someone who argues strenuously for using logic in our thinking and demands accountability from our leaders, how, exactly, does this work?
