Going in bottom-up order

Quote:

The big difference is that the Obama administration is doing them NOW. There is a chance to limit or stop them, which you can't do to things that occurred in the past.
So, what did YOU do IN THE PAST to stop Bush?? Bueller? Bueller? Anything?

Did you object to invading Iraq? Worry about the civilian death toll? Have doubts about the existence of WMD? Did you object to Guantanamo? Did you find any fault with the so-called Patriot Act? Voice any concerns about torturing prisoners? Take issue with Unitary Executive? Express doubts about the cost estimate of Medicare Part D?

Or, let's go back even further- Any issues with Reagan making arms deals with Iranian terrorists? Any problems with carpet-bombing and napalming Vietnamese?

Name me ONE policy that you objected to back then that you suddenly find so offensive now. Seriously, I expect an answer, because as far as I can tell you DO fit the stereotype. In your long history of posting here, you're OK with ANY USA military action that, and nearly all trampling of civil rights. There are only two issues that you and the GOP show a sliver of light between the two of you, and that is gender/ reproductive freedoms. Oh, yippee.

You know, I could probably find examples of the Obama administration doing pretty much the same things you listed above, same-same as the Bush Administration or most any other administration in the past.
And so can I. The difference between us, and the thing that makes me NOT a dishonorable hypocrite is that I object to BOTH. You? Not so much.

It must be nice for you to have this little set-piece stereotype speech in your head, so you don't have to consider what people actually say or do, but just default to "Not like me...evil". Saves a lot of time, I bet.
No, I remember what you've posted pretty accurately, and I've described you fairly. If you happen to fit the stereotype, that's your problem, not mine.
