Back Talk: On Fire

I'm leaving 'til next Tuesday, so I'm going to leave you guys with a flurry of small posts. First off, just a blog link: Professor Engram from Back Talk on the sidebar has a couple of great posts. He's a registered Democrat, though has drifted rightwards. He often cuts Obama a break. In Emote Less Listen More, he praises Obama's recent foreign policy decisions, in that Obama is breaking his campaign promises and doing more or less what the evil Rethuglican Bushitler did and the opposite of what Obama said he would do on the campaign trail. Good for Obama now regarding foreign policy at this point. Bad for Obama lying in our faces on the campaign trail, and where's the media critical of this Fascist Warmonger ala Bush? Engram counts the ways and provides links to Obama's broken promises (and correct foreign policy decisions) regarding: Rendition, Indefinite Detention, Military Tribunals, Warrentless Wiretapping, Pakistan, and Iraq. Again, for libs, it's as much about who's saying something as it is what's being said. Evil under Bush, quietly correct under Obama. Screw them and their hypocricy.

In another article, Engram says "Conservatives and Liberals need each other" Well, I'm not convinced, outside of what Robinson Talking Points clearly shows: that a healthy, vigorous, honest discussion of policies is a good thing no matter who is in power.
