Glenn Greenwald's advice to independent journalists: Ruffle feathers and "develop true expertise on a finite number of subjects." Glenn Greenwald took time to do a walk and talk interview with Luke Rudkowski. The two discussed the next 4 years with Obama, the lack of criticism of the Obama and journalism tips.
U.S. deaths in Afghanistan under Bush Administration: 575. Under Obama Administration: 1492. So far. And see here.
This imbalance was brought to my attention on Facebook when I saw the following quote:
John Metz, owner of many Denny's restaurants has decided to "add a 5 percent surcharge to customers' bills to offset what he said are the increased costs of Obamacare, along with reducing his employees' hours." More . . .
Glenn Greenwald: The one common strain running through these historic civil liberties assaults is war. War almost always erodes political liberties. That has always been true. Cicero famously observed "inter arma, enim silent leges" (in times of war, the law falls mute). That fact - that wars maximize a political leader's power - is a key reason they often crave war and why wars, under the Constitution, were supposed to be extremely difficult for presidents to start. As John Jay wrote in Federalist 4, "absolute monarchs will often make war when their nations are to get nothing by it, but for the purposes and objects merely personal."
Oliver Stone's new book, “The Untold History of the United States” rips Obama's presidency. For those conservatives who might get excited about this criticism, they should note that most of the ways in which Obama has failed have been in continuing Republican policies, notably those of George W. Bush.
