Members Of The Left Stand Tall And Be Proud Of Our President

[sheshe2]

As you and I, and almost all left leaning political folks know all too well, our fellow Americans who lean-to the right have a host of serious drawbacks. We find them not only reprehensible, but also boggle our senses about how they can talk themselves into not only accepting their views as facts, but of staunchly being in defense of them. It amazes me that without fail, every time I fight a battle of words and ideas with a Conservative, whether they are from the G.O.P., Tea, or Libertarian party, it must be like to try catching a greased hog. Just as you corner them with logic, and grab hold of them with facts and truth, they simply grab hold of another absurd talking point they’ve been fed, and slip away from the issue at hand.

After attempting to force reason and sanity upon the self induced ignorance they cling to, most of us on the left realize that those we are trying to expose to the truth aren’t all single digit IQ life forms. Rather, they are just stubborn hand heads that either can’t, or won’t change their way of thinking. Whether from racial bigotry, identity insecurity, or ingrained tradition, those that hold fast to the lies and propaganda they get fed from Fox and their less than honorable elected representatives do show one thing the left could use more of, dedication.

For 5 years now the President we elected twice, Barack Obama, has done amazing things in the recovery of America. He has done it fighting more political opposition than any president in American history. As our President strives to improve the lives of every American, he faces unending negative forces from the right. Forces whose only intent is to somehow defeat and dishonor him, and any sort of legacy he might leave. These negative forces the GOP/Tea party invoke are done so at the cost of everything. If this country needs to self destruct to carry out their agenda, so be it. They are more than willing to let America burn to the ground. While the idea of giving them all their own section of land with which to set up their own miserable third world nation is extremely appealing, we are, unfortunately, stuck with them. That being the case, we on the left must insure that America remains a country that is worth living in. To carry out this task, we don’t need to sink to the level of dirty tricks, lies and voter suppression that the right loves to use. After all, we have the high ground by espousing equality for all, fairness for all and acceptance of all.

So stand tall, and please do not fall victim to the ever-increasing desperate lies the right spews out of their vile mouths. Have faith that the President has our backs and that in the end, we will be the victors. So rest assured, the America we know and love, will be purged of those that wish to sabotage its’ forward momentum and progress.

3. Great OP! Thanks.

I not only stand tall (well, a full 5' anyway) with President Obama but everyone else who stands with him. We lift each other up.

4. Hell yes, I will stand with him.

Once I was ask by a RW why did I vote for President Obama, I replied "Who did the GOP resent who might have been better", I got a blank stare, they know Obama was by and far the best candidate.

My Obama votes in '08 and '12 were for positive progressive change in this country...and a big middle finger right in the face of all the religious/racist/sexist/warmongering bigots! I am just soooooo glad he is OUR President!

16. Wish Obama could be President forever

Just found this site and so Happy I did. Refreshing to be able to read so many positive
Views. We are a lucky nation to have Barack Obama on our side. Only wish everyone appreciated
him as much as he deserves. Go Barack Obama, don't stop.

17. Leftist/labor view -

the executive order to raise minimum wage would be fantastic. People forget that the battles are fought on the streets in this country. Yesterday I wrote about labor unrest a bit - how we used to paint signs, march, and fight for our rights to things like 8-hr work days, a weekend, child labor laws.

The president is an executive - he doesn't sit in his office and pass laws on things. WE need to be active pushing from the streets or there is no threat to the moneyed class. We need to organize to affect the legislation that is passed by Congress.

As far as POTUS, he's been generally less harmful, from my view, than many others from that chamber would be. To the working class that is a positive, but we're also not going to spend all of our time thinking about him ...
