When Bush was President, there was a lot of dissent and people were complaining about the wars in the media and everywhere we went. Bush was a horrible President and deserved that criticism. Unjustified wars abound. I was an outspoken critic as well. Democrats supported me. Republicans blindly defended him, so I thought they were just ignorant.
Now I see Democrats doing the same with Obama. It's unbelievable because Obama has doubled down on everything Bush did and started even more words, yet the Dems are SILENT. People who used to be with me on Bush are now against me for criticizing Obama's failed foreign policy and unjustified wars. Republicans wanted war, that was granted; but now even Democrats are cool with the raging unsustainable wars overseas. They're voting for him again.
What is going on in this country? How has everyone turned into such warmongers? Was it always like this? I thought America was historically a non-interventionist and prospered because of it.

Disclaimer for all partisans who will accuse me of being liberal or conservative for my critique: I'm independent. I describe myself as a political atheist; a mere observer. I did not support Bush. I do not support Obama. I do not support Romney. They are the same to me. I do not vote because I believe the political system to be a fraud.
