In America it is patriotic to dissent especially when Elected representatives are hired for one job and one job only and that is to represent the people in thier districts that voted for them.
As a senator Barrack Obama defended his position to block confirmation votes on judicial appointees by alledging " The founding Fathers established the filibuster as a means of protecting the minority from the tryanny of the majority."
in 2005 a democrat minority gridlocked congress, ending GW Bushes plan to reform Social security.
How about Loud opposition?
In 2003 Hillary Clinton came unglued on those she claimed had called for less dissent, " I am sick and tired of people who call you unpatriotic if you debate the bush administrations policies.
Now President Obama is frustrated that his progressive efforsts are facing opposition, He states " we knew this was going to take a long time because we have this big messy democracy" . Obama expanded on " messy" when addressing la Raza activists who wanted immediate amnesty for illegals by saying that he hould not " somehow bypass congress and change the laws on my own ,believe me the idea of doing things on my own is very tempting"
and how about Obamas efforts to silence his critics?
in 2008 there was a website called " fight the smears" this was dedicated to monitor obamas critics. next there was the Journolists , a liberal only forum of influentioal media pundits venting their anger over criticism of Obama .
now there is yet another website called attackwatch.com that implores readers to watch for and send in criticisms of Obama.
seems like the democrats can dissent and obstruct, and filibuster , but when republicans do the same thing it is wrong..
why is that?
