Obama has been a disaster for civil liberties

Posted on October 2, 2011 by iwilder

IW:  For civil libertarian “lesser evil” voters — like ant-war lesser evil voters — Obama is the greater evil. Protecting individual rights and liberties — apart from the right to be tax-free — seems barely relevant to candidates or voters. One man is primarily responsible for the disappearance of civil liberties from the national debate, […]

For the anti-war movement, McCain was “the lesser evil” in 2008.

Posted on September 30, 2011 by iwilder

IW:  I was engaging in one of those Facebook discussions I just can’t keep myself from diving into, about who to support for President.  It was one of those only-on-Facebook discussions that take place with a group of people I went to school with decades ago.  One discussant was proffering the lesser evil excuse for […]
