I think my Constitution tells me I can call him anything I choose as long as I don't slander or libel 'The Sheriff of Nothingham'. What you may think of that is your business to which I am not subjected by law to submit.
Fortunately for you, you may enjoy the same rights and privileges. Rights and privileges I will defends to the death, unless you choose to impose your will on me.
Try to differentiate between the title and the person
I haven't seen anyone disrespect the office or the title, "President."
The temporary holder of that title...now that's a different matter. THAT respect has to be earned. In a republic such as ours, that doesn't automatically go with the title (as it does for a dictator as then it's a matter of survival if you disrespect and let it be known).
This is so true... always had to love the ensigns fresh out of college and still wet behind the ears, but ran around barking orders at everyone.
Our electricians had one. He treated them with respect after they beat him up, stripped him down to his underware, and duct taped his hairy body to his chair for a few hours.
I've been on these threads and I'm seeing the President referred to as "Obozo", or Obummer, or other unbecoming names. If you don't agree with the President's policies or if you didn't vote for him, you just don't. The least one can do is respect his title and realize that he is our President and should be respected as such. He is President Obama, not Obummer or Obozo.
Respect is earned, not given. Obama has demeaned the office of the POTUS through his own divisive rhetoric , actions, and Executive Orders designed to destroy the Republic.
The county i work in is full of Racists. These rednecks around here openly say the don't want any Go*D***N****** telling me what to do. I would say that doesn't cover any of his policy work at all,.
And you have all these liberals around here that say if you are against Obama you are racist. You have all these liberals around here that say welfare reform is against black people, because they believe black people need welfare.
It would be proper and a good thing to conform to protocol..and call your president by his full title..President Barack Obama. But what do you expect for a nation of youth that have never been taught to use a capital G when writing the word GOD? Most are poorly trained in propriety. How many young clowns out there have ever even heard of the propriety of taking off your hat when you enter ANY building- That a hat is never to be worn in doors.
If a King in the old days was seen as unfit...no one dared to insult the royal chair without being concerned about loosing ones head. It does not matter if you approve or not- There is decorum. For instance if you are entering or leaving a court room...while the Judge is presiding...which is not wise- You give a slight bow to him or her as you enter...and if you must leave you do not turn your back on the judge...You gracefully back out and give a respectful bow also.
It does not matter if you like or respect the judge- king or President or God for that matter...There is a class thing...If you are in the royal court...you are courteous ...or courtly--------In other words you behave like a civilized individual..and grant courtesy to all- even those you don't care for.
A danger to the country in what way? Anyone else here notice how people like Donn always scamper away when you ask them to elaborate a little bit?
One way is his administration's opening the borders even further than it already has, refusing to enforce our nation's immigration laws, refusing to protect our nation's citizens from the Mexican drug gangs and Mexican Army along our border with Mexico, and trying to fight against states trying to fight against voter fraud. Shall I go on?
Really? Don't believe you. Have Obama release his college records. Oh, that's right. There is no college records of Barack Hussain Obama because he wasn't using that name in college. How many names did he go by before settling on this last name and how many government documents does he have in those previous names including foreign passport/visa?
If you question his college records, you're obviously not someone who thinks rationally. You don't get on the Harvard Law Review (especially as a black man) without having legitimate college records.
Birthers are racists. There's no other way to look at it. It's a direct 1-to-1 correlation.
The only people who bring up the middle name are also doing so under a certain sentiment...it's not like we need the middle name to identify which Barack Obama he is, you do so because you think the word "Hussain" is somehow an insult even though it's simply a name.
If you question specific policies (and not just a blanket "he's ruining the country"), I can take you seriously, but if you question his background I know you're not a rational person and your hatred for the man is based in something other than intellectual political analysis.
