I hope that this swing so far to the left will be the cause of a return to the freedom that the founders of America stood for. If this happens, I will no longer feel like a political refugee. I will be able to return to America.Freeman Carterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15582927113168375477noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2883894757442110760.post-32521253179461642622013-10-27T08:50:48.028+08:002013-10-27T08:50:48.028+08:00It's ironic that Obama, who became President b...It's ironic that Obama, who became President by competing and excelling at it, is the advocate of leveling in health care, more progressive taxation, and redistribution. The left sees this as noble self-sacrifice, but it can just as plausibly be seen as hypocrisy and grandiosity. In Obama's case, there is a tone of grandiosity and condescension. Although he campaigned as the champion of post-partisanship, he has not deigned to work across the aisle. He is the willing prisoner of the most partisan segment of his party. This happened because he never really believed in the bi-partisanship or the idealogical neutrality that he preached. He was really of the left from the very beginning, with no appreciation of, or respect for the conservative viewpoint. Unlike Reagan or Clinton, he is a partisan before he is a national leader.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10092082915604663826noreply@blogger.com
