I’m mad because he’s expanded the drug war, expanded the surveillance state, expanded the police state, and because all you motherfuckers out there who pretended you gave a rat’s ass about any of this shit when I was screaming about it during the Bush administration have all spun around like good little soldiers as soon as it was Your Guy Doing It, and are exactly as contemptuous and condescending towards those us of who actually care about not living in a motherfucking police state as the GOP was when it was Mr. Bush at work.

That is not a president. “Decider” is just another word for dictator; that is Mr. Bush’s achievement, solidified by Mr. Obama. Back in the Roman republic, by the way, when First Citizens were declared Dictators, this is more or less what it meant - the Dictator made decision proclamations (dictates) and they were carried out. And if you’re okay with that, well, that’s your politics and your call. But for fuck’s sake, stop lying about it, and take your shut-up-you-whiny-idiots-with-your-stupid-fringe-issues attitude and blow it out your goddamn asses. If right to trial, torture, and rule of law are fringe issues, the republic, or what little is left of it, is lost. And maybe it is. But don’t pretend it’s unimportant. Strictly reblogged for solarbird’s awesome retort. THANK YOU! Muslims are still being rounded up, imprisoned without a trial, and tortured. Any anti-Muslim bigots who think I, or any other Muslim, is obligated to vote for this douchebag can kiss my wrinkled old ass. Reblogging because commentary is awesome, but going to add that the goal of Colbert’s comment is to dissuade angry Democrats from voting Republican because things aren’t perfect. And they’re not. Obama’s failed to keep a lot of his promises and he’s done a lot of really shit things on his own initiative, but will replacing him with a Republican president make anything better? The 2-party system puts us in a bind, Obama or a Republican. Things aren’t great (and for many they’re not even good) under Obama, but unless you think they’ll be better under Republican rule, don’t use your vote as punishment.
