I think those of you who are loyal Americans had better get a grip on reality or you're going to start sounding and looking like the enemy and that
will not be an enviable position to be in.
I mean that partisan politics is one thing, but hating the President to the point of attributing all things evil to him, calling for, praying for,
suggesting his death, and all the things that we read so often here, cross the line so far that those who would advocate such and who are so concerned
about their own agendas that the well-being of the nation is secondary, is bordering on sedition.
This is the oath I have taken and it has never been rescinded:
I, ___________________________________, do solemly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all
enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; and that I will obey the orders of the President of the
United States and the orders of the officers appointed overme, according to regulations and the Uniform Code of Military Justice. So help me God.
[emphasis mine]
Dissent is one's right, but when the line is crossed into kind of contempt I read here regarding the office of the Presidency is going too far. I
would only remind people that one's loyalty to the nation has to supercede that of one's party.
Moreover, most of the criticisms of Bush are without merit and are not worthy of intelligent discourse. The election is over. Now, it is the time
for all loyal citizens to put aside the conflicts that divide us and pull for our survival or leave.
I hope this clarifies the issue.
