Now that I've lured you in this is the reaction currently going around on DKos members and their support for Obama and his public statements on FISA...
Some of our support for our candidate "now" hinges on one issue, ONE FUCKING ISSUE.
Okay you want to stop FISA, well I'm going to help you, I'm going to give you some advice to stop FISA and fan the outrage that has taken DKos by storm the last two weeks. Learn the ways after the jump.
This little comment had me thinking about FISA
Supposedly the soldiers are fighting for the United States and our Constitution. So the Constitution should be the one thing worth fighting for .....

Yeah, supposedly we are fighting for the Constitution but we follow the orders that are given to us by ranking individuals, so we are in a Catch-22 situation.
We are under the control of civilian leaders and we have to follow the orders of those that are appointed over us. So we fight the wars that we are ordered to fight by those civilian authorities. Nothing more nothing less and that was a brilliant move by the founders.
I've seen the following about posts about FISA and how:
- Obama Flipped-Flop on FISA
- Democratic leadership is weak
- Once again the Democratic leadership capitulated to Bush
- Democrats don't have any courage or spine
Some claim that FISA is their last straw with Obama but is Obama really the problem?
No, I don't think Obama is the problem, I think it's the bellyaching, whiners sitting behind their keyboards threatning to take their votes home with them to ensure John McCain wins.
But my question to you is Who is Your Commander? You don't have one, and since the Constitution means that much to you, get ready to do something about it or SYFPH!!!!!
Do you really want to stop FISA? So what is stopping you?
If you want to stop the FISA Bill well do it!!!!
The first thing to do is to get OFF YOUR LAZY WHINY ASS and take some fucking action! No I don't mean phone calls to your elected Rep. or your Senator.
I mean phone calls to other "outraged" citizens to organize a REAL FUCKING MARCH in D.C. before the vote!!!
When I say a REAL FUCKING MARCH I don't mean these picnic/workshop/networking bullshit like this
I'm talking about marching chanting at the top of your lungs, as if your life depended on it non-violent rowdiness.
If this FISA Bill truly means this much to you and the American people that so many claim on the various "FISA" diaries running around here, then there should be easily more than a million protesters.
Then and only then will your elected officials will truly see that you mean what you say.
The media will take notice, hell the whole fucking world will take notice! Politicians rely on your apathy to sit, phone, complain, and stay home on election day.
But I doubt that anyone does this because you expect Obama to do all the work because he has something to lose (we in the military have more to lose under McCain, but you don't care) and you don't. Hell, most of you are cubicle gangsters that talk tough but don't do anything but complain. You're worse than these guys here:
Most of the hand-wringers are the type to complain about everything but when someone challenges you to do something you have an excuse on why you can't. Hell some of you didn't support Obama to begin with and are fucking concern trolls. You're the armchair QB in the game of Life.
If you don't like your House Rep, why don't you get off your ass and run? That would mean you'd have to sacrifice something and be accountable. It may mean you'd have to actually (gasps) have something at stake in the outcome. You wouldn't be able to sit behind a keyboard and be a anonymous expert expressing an undescribable outrage after reading another HuffPost entry.
So my question is once again DO YOU WANT TO STOP FISA? It's now up to you. Stop relying on someone else to do it for you.
