No one has been able to explain to me how Obama and his administration are somehow cleared of wrongdoing because Bush II initiated the War on Terror and the Patriot Act. Yes, Bush disregarded the Constitution. Yes, it was wrong. How does that make it okay for Obama to do the same? Aaron Swartz, Bradly Manning, Julian Assange, and now Edward Snowden all have the commonality of being individuals targeted/persecuted by the government for standing out as activist and whistle blowers. HSBC, Goldman Sachs, BP, and Monsanto all have the commonality of being large private based institutions that have engaged in illegal and immoral activity and have faced little to no push back from our "democratic" government. I think many on the Left need to ask themselves whether or not we are primarily liberals, sustained by ideology and principle or Democrats, sustained by party loyalty and politics.
