I'm a idealist. No apologies.
Right is right. Wrong is wrong.
I opposed the PATRIOT Act under Bush. I still oppose it.
I opposed the invasions and occupations of Iraq and Afghanistan under Bush. I opposed those occupations under President Obama.
I opposed FISA, MCA and violations of the Bill of Rights under Bush. I still oppose them now.
I opposed the use of drones under Bush. I oppose them now.
I opposed violations of the Fourth Amendment under Bush. I continue to oppose them now.
I opposed NCLB under Bush. I oppose the equally odious RttT now.
I opposed neo-liberal economic policies under Bush. I continue to oppose them now.
I opposed DOMA under Clinton and Bush. I still oppose DOMA.
Free trade agreements such as NAFTA were wrong under Clinton and Bush. They are still wrong.
I think you get the point.
I will not allow someone's political affiliation to determine my moral compass. My ethics are not for sale to any political party.
If that makes me a purist, so be it.
