You're right. Hatred isn't the right word. Disapprove*... But Obama isn't the government and government intervening in people's right, well that's just what government is all about. We fight for freedoms that won't mean you have impunity over others, therefore we punish crimes... conservatives as well as liberals have their own very biased agendas, but it is out of balancing these two extremes that we get near a center in the political spectrum. Lately that delicate balance between classes has collided, corporations and businesses are booming yet poverty is rampant. We don't come from a privileged higher class where we don't have to worry about our financial needs, so we should (at least from this front) fight so that the assholes don't end up inheriting this world. And by assholes, I mean mostly weird, illogical, true sophists Republicans who block every thing Obama has tried to push forward. You're not being deprived, you're freer as a citizen of this nation as no one ever was before in any nation before, but one thing is freedom and another is a childish pretense that borders on debauchery. Surely by seeing a red light you don't think, "Oh there goes the government trying to tell me what to do again!" Rules and regulations are not just political, but cultural.. you can see the result in children. Those who are raised with strict and rigid austerity are just as screwed as those who are raised with no discipline whatsoever. Extremes are bad, and we need a balance, a middle ground . Some of us are slaves to the ideal of freedom. Ideally, the concept of freedom is very appealing but we end up suffering for the same freedoms in practice, and we must use caution in exercising the ideal, seeing it through in practical terms, see if it's feasible. It isn't an easy answer, no one holds all the cards when it comes to the right answer. Usually when you hold on stubbornly to either side of the aisle, you end up being part of the problem, not the solution
