NDAA is illegal and I can't believe Obama signed it. Obama's disdain for whistle-blowers is evident by the prosecution rate, which is at an all-time high. So much for transparency.
I cannot talk to my family about politics. My step-father believes Obama is Muslim and my mother is not a fan of anyone who isn't white, or born here. It's hard to discuss anything with them without it somehow turning into a political statement.

But I have, since 9/11 completely cut off all ties to reactionary people who knee-jerked to support Bush. I absolutely consider them to be gullible, misinformed and simplistic. I have however supported Obama's military policies--he has done a brilliant job of turning a hopeless strategy into viable one and has restored American supremacy. I have had my quibbles with Obama's domestic policies, but I continue to believe that anyone who supports Romney over Obama is shortsighted, selfish/bigoted (generally) and very misinformed.

Two of our dearest friends watch Fox News constantly. Their explanations for their views are almost always backed by inaccurate "facts" or blatant lies.
