1. I'll never say that. I understand the sentiment from our side, but the sentiment itself
is un-American.

6. My response to those people is a quote from Teddy Roosevelt
Edited on Tue Nov-04-08 01:21 PM by hobbit709
The President should be supported or opposed exactly to the degree which is warranted by his good conduct or bad conduct, his efficiency or inefficiency in rendering loyal, able, and disinterested service to the Nation as a whole.

Therefore it is absolutely necessary that there should be full liberty to tell the truth about his acts, and this means that it is exactly necessary to blame him when he does wrong as to praise him when he does right. Any other attitude in an American citizen is both base and servile.

To announce that there must be no criticism of the President, or that we are to stand by the President, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public.

7. I'll probably use it ONCE
Just to see the reaction of the RWers who've said it to me. :evilgrin:

However, I don't believe that, so I wouldn't continue to use it.
