Every man that has ever held the job wanted it. In every served term in the history of this country, someone, sometimes a lot of someones have complained, moaned and hissed that the man was destroying the country. Oddly enough, we've survived 200+ years anyway.
LML has it right. You can despise someone in the job but there should be a limit there too. I hated Bush with a passion but I never wished the man harm. Patriotism is not, or should not, be limited to what you alone believe is right and wrong. It should mean more than waving a flag, toting a gun, believing in your civil liberties, the constitution and any other number of things you may believe in.
At its heart, it should be about what the country means, stood for, was founded to be... that shining beacon on the hill. If you believe in that at all, it is my opinion, that you can never be that blase about a man that then represents this very thing you (general you) claim to love and want to 'save'.
Love of country is also the love of the democratic process. This was the will of the people. That is what makes our country great.
Now, I think I'm going to go back to lurking and ignoring all the news because a lot of the crap that is being spouted here and around the country disgusts me.

I suspect 100 years from now, if this country is still around, people will be ashamed this piece of trash ever got to such a position. Then again, the last 3 presidents...Clinton, Bush, O...pretty pitiful.
I don't place any government, any country, above liberty.

*SMH* Idiotic comments like these will have Reps in a political wilderness for a very, very, very long time. Keep up the good work.

I can't believe someone is actually still saying that today. This notion has been thoroughly debunked. |

R U serious or just stupid? Anyone with a gun neaer the president is a threat! If someone that looked like he was from the middle east with a toe clipper got near Bush or punk azz Cheney they would have be sent to Gitmo and water boarded! How can you bend your fingers and even think in this racist country that a blackman who just happened to be president would not be in danger? That was the reason Colin Powell did not run, b/c his family feared for his life. The really sad thing about it was that he was a republicant |

If you truly believe it is right to cancel an election with a bullet then you have no right to call yourself an American. Only a traitor would believe that. |

I'm looking forward to the day when we elect a woman, (maybe a black woman), an American Indian, a latino, and so on and so forth, to this nations highest office.
I want this nation to show it's true colors .. black, white, red, brown, yellow, and so on. It does the world a great disservice when all we show off are boring, old, dull, white guys all the time.
And, I'm not a flaming whack-job liberal either .. I'm an American white male who's tired of all of the racism.
As an aside; If someone does the unthinkable, and shoots Obama .. it would most likely be because of his policies/politics and not his color.

Dude, believe me if it is attempted it would not matter what policies he has, various racist groups already have a bounty on his head.
As far as you being tired of all of the racism, try being on the other end of the spectrum.

Nope, I don't believe that would be right at all, I don't condone murder and never will. I simply don't care about these claims of threats (which are clearly being used for political reasons by O's followers), and better people than O are killed everyday across this country. It's like asking me my opinion about a burglar or other criminal in some other state, I don't care what happens to them... |
