    OK. I see your point. I still don't understand why people are so fed up with this President.
    I'm sorry, but if somebody thinks this President is an insult to his great grandpappy who died in WWII, fuck them.

    President Obama's approval rating is somewhere just north of 50%. If people were as fed up with him as they usually are this far into a president's second term, his approval rating would be in the mid-40s.

    So, yeah ... if he were a white guy, he wouldn't be being treated so badly. :confused:

    I haven't seen a liberal try to profit off the murder of a 17-year-old who was just walking home and minding his own business.

    But the people who disapprove apparently feel more strongly about it.
    Not just a bad President, but one who commits treason?
    Treason has a very specific definition and the people who accuse him of it don't know what it is.

    Run go check out some of Harry Reid's comments regarding those who disagree with him.

    It was an inconsequential 84 year-old man ranting on facebook. Just one of thousands and thousands of others like him out there. God help us if we start imprisoning them all "for 10 to 15 years" because of their facebook comments. Only reason this one made the news is because of who his employer is.

    I must say, SP, I do find it striking how many times over the years I've seen you say someone should be "imprisoned for [insert number] years" for saying words you found offensive. Aside from exposing basic constitutional ignorance, it reveals an unsettling authoritarian streak for someone who seems to think himself politically liberal.

    You know, there are other countries where people are imprisoned for saying the sort of things for which you advocate imprisonment. But I don't think you wanna live there.

    And court-ordered psychiatric treatment for people like Sandy Hook truthers could be used against a government's political enemies who are not really mentally ill?

    Jeez, SP, don't you have a broken-down Dodge Neon to buy or something?

    SP's moral defect is he'll blame others for his choice of buying a broken-down Dodge Neon.
