THIS CAME FROM NEWSVINE .COM THE SEED WAS FROM MR HUNTER.
I am truly saddened when I hear that people believe that the left wing's sole purpose is to humiliate this country. It is truly the most ignorant opinion one could possibly come too albeit a popular one. The truth is that the actions of our government, primarily under the Bush Admin., have humiliated millions of Americans (those who aren't are in denial) and has destroyed our credibility abroad. It will take years to correct our errors and repair the wrong we have done. I believe that Obama feels that releasing these documents is a step in the right direction, as it certainly is not a fix all. I am not sure what benefit it serves as I doubt Bush or anyone else will really suffer any consequences, deserved or not. One might say that it will damage Republicans but I doubt it, the (m)asses forget so quickly and are easily distracted by the hot topic of the day, key catch phrases and the Republicans would probably just blame Dems for it anyway as their mindless zombie loyalists greedily lap it up and then regurgitate it to anyone within earshot on and daily basis. How people can be so afraid of being wrong that they are unwilling to even examine the facts is simply beyond me. I truly do not understand the mind of the modern republican or Bush advocate. Why hide if their is nothing to hide? These lame excuses for things, from the wars to building 7 to the reasoning behind not releasing these memos, are about all I can take. I have always considered myself a rationalist and pride myself in my objectivity, but the gall of people to blindly accept whatever propaganda the Gov is feeding you without thinking critically about the validity and motive and most of all facts obtained from independent sources is irresponsible and ignorant. I cannot understand the rational no matter how hard I try. The constant lying, derailing, spin, hype and one-sidedness of the GOP and their media affiliates makes me ashamed of this country. I just dont understand how people buy into it. I suppose its fear, fear must be the reason for knowingly accepting lies as truth, fear of what it means about this country should we learn that our worst suspicions were valid, and fear of the measures that would be required to repair our system. Acting or refusing to act out in fear of change, in fear of abandoning old and unproductive norms, in fear recognising that you have been fundamentally deceived, in fear of taking steps forward is a sad a shameful paradigm. I am ashamed of Bush and his administration and his party and the Dems who failed to do their jobs when he was in office. I have never been particularly fond of either party but seeing how GOP acted under Bush moreover how they are behaving now has all but convinced me that they truly want to destroy this country. The management of this country is not a game, it is not about winning or losing or being right, its about doing whats right. Thank god we have a President who SEEMS to operate by that ideal.
