Thanks, Women, for weighing in on this. I feel really strongly also. I'm ready to go third party. I think I could be one of the people they'd love to put away--don't mean to aggrandize myself, but it's not inconceivable, so I feel empathy with those who will be victims.

Thanks, Fran, for the additional details. You're right: there's something in there everyone can hate. I agree that the Constitution is in jeopardy, and what a disappointment that is!

I was countered on Twitter by an Obama supporter for this post. I just can't understand blind loyalty. Is this what democracy looks like? No.

HI BILLIE- I JUST POSTED ABOUT THE NDAA TODAY AS WELL. SOMETHING CONTAINED IN IT FOR EVERYONE TO HATE--

•$662 BILLION MILITARY SPENDING

•THE INDEFINITE DETENTION FACTOR

•KEEPS GITMO OPEN

•THE BLATANTLY OBVIOUS TREND OF FINDING SOME EXCUSE TO GO TO WAR WITH IRAN.

I'M GIVING A THUMBS DOWN TO THE "BETTER OFF WITH A REPUBLICAN" COMMENT.

OBAMA HAS FAILED ON SO MANY ISSUES, HE DOES NOT DESERVE ANOTHER TERM, WE NEED A
REAL LIBERAL OR PROGRESSIVE, NOT A REPUBLICAN!!!

PART OF THE REASON I VOTED FOR HIM WAS BECAUSE HE WAS ALLEGEDLY A CONSTITUTIONAL SCHOLAR. SURELY HE WOULD UPHOLD THE CONSTITUTION.

APPARENTLY NOT.

From outside the Republic, heard this very bad news today. The future of democratic action in your country is in jeopardy. This repressive law could be used against the "occupy" people. What has happened to the Land of the Brave?

Thanks to you all for commenting. It is nice to se...

Thanks to you all for commenting. It is nice to see you on New Year's Eve. But what a kick in the head of democracy this news is! Sorry we're convening around this. I hope I don't disappear. Never would have thought I'd have to fear that in my nation.
Here's to a new and better era, starting in 2012--as the Mayan calendar predicted.

I second Thomas' comment... the betrayal seems to be a different kind of hurt, like a paper cut slice on your heart... how do you revolt against the person you thought would represent your beliefs..? Hard to do, especially in today's climate... it is more like 'dance with the devil you think you know' rather than you one that you 'know you know'...

I really think progressives would be better off with a Republican we could unite against to block. It's hard to know what to do when it's your own team that's doing these awful things.

Thank you for posting this.

Here is hoping that in 2012 more so called "dems" and "liberals" will see the true O.

I posted a lot about NDAA.
Hardly any so called liberal blogs mentioned it.

MSM stayed away from it.
Why?
Because both sides of the aisle and the O team were for it.

Disappear now has a completely new meaning.

Teach your children well.
