>>It's a center right country, Koan, like it or not.

If Obama wants to get re-elected he has to play it that way---then he CAN be more center left.<<

Obama got elected on a platform of change we can believe in.

Yes, we are center right, which in the past supported segregation and a million other evils. I am not about to go along with watering down our civil rights just because that is how people want to do things.

The south was also in favor of segregation for 100 years. We fought three stupid wars in viet Nam, Iraq and afghanistan all because the country is center right and jingoistic.

We let corporations take over our coutnry, bash unions and establish tax cuts for the rich and start wars and torture without questions all because we are center right.

True liberals will not, and did not, stand for any of that shit.
