Subject: RE: Popular Views: the Obama Administration
BB - "Amos will applaud Obama for doing exactly what he criticized Bush for doing."

Yeah, probably he will, BB. ;-) That's the nature of the partisan mind, as I've often pointed out. It filters reality to meet its prejudices. That's one reason I really do not like political parties...nor do I much like overall political labels such as "liberal" and "conservative" or "left" and "right", because they constantly get in the way of perceiving truth. They obfuscate and mislead. They encourage knee-jerk response and lack of real thought about anything. They obviate fairness and objectivity. We would be better off, in my opinion, if all political parties and their corrupt party machines were forever abolished, and we could vote in future just for free-minded individuals who represented not a party...but themselves and their own ideas.

GfS - You really need to put some paragraph breaks in a post like that last one. Otherwise it becomes quite hard to read at all and will probably just be skipped over and ignored by a lot of people. (assuming a lot of people even come here) ;-)
