No the double standard is in saying you should support your president and respect the government and then say the exact opposite when the opposing party wins office.

I totally agree. I got so darn tired of eight years of Bush hating that I was glad to see a dem get elected but the Bush hating goes on and on and on...

Just because I don't have a love fest going for Obama does not mean that I don't respect the office and government - when they do the will of the people. It's when they say one thing and do another... double standards I guess.

Besides, who says we have to "support" our President? I have never heard that that was a prerequisite of being a citizen of the US. If we disagree with his agenda do we have to support it? No! I don't support abortions. I don't support welfare and handouts. I don't support giving illegals freebies. I don't support the non-issue of global warming.

I don't support the idea of the UN. I don't support the freedom of terrorists. There are many, many things that I don't support that Obama will do. Why is that wrong? That's why I'm a conservative and he's a liberal. Totally different idealogies! Now tell me why that's a double standard!

Well my feeling is that I should respect my government when that respect is earned.

as for who said we should support our president, it was Sean Hannity.

Their hard news has a conservative voice, but nothing beyond, and in most cases softer, then the stuff put out by CBS and CNN during the 08 election.

My real beef is with the indoctrination that goes on within your clicks. When I describe thins like the ACLU and planned parenthood I refer to them as "liberal leaning", when you guys talk about Fox News or other "red" organizations you more often then not call them "evil". Classifying anything you find with an opposing view as "evil lies" rather then "counter views" is radical ideology, the kind that drives wedges between the bipartisan efforts the country needs right now.

Anyone who needs to understand what's wrong with deviceive partisanship needs to go read Washington's farewell address

Ahhhh, there is a difference in respect and support. I can respect you for your opinion but I don't have to support it!

I have respect for the Pope but don't support or believe in his Church. I have respect for Barbara Streisand's music but won't support her by purchasing it.

And, guess what, just cause Sean Hannity says it, doesn't mean I have to do it! Same with the President of the US. Unless it's the law of the land I can have differing opinions and can go my own way!

I guess I'm not seeing the correlation between supporting the President or supporting terrorists? Isn't that reaching a bit far?

I would NEVER respect nor support a terrorist.

It's like saying either you support a child rapist or you are against them.

I still don't understand why it's so bad to say what Bush said. You are with us (the US) and against the bad guys or you support and stand with the bad guys and therefore you are against the US.

DUH...........

Why is bipartisanship good?

I voted for Republicans to follow the conservative path. Not to side with the liberals. Why have a two party system if you don't want them to stay on their side of isle?

Bipartisanship is good because it takes the good ideas from all sides and utilizes them.

According to your logic, since we the left won in a near landslide and damn near swept both the house and senate, we should just say "Y'know what... SCREW those Righties! We aren't gonna listen to a thing they say!" Doesn't sound so inviting, being one of those Righties, now does it?

Welcome to the only 21st century an American liberal knows. Hope you like it.

Bush's statement didn't cause the rift between the parties or the American people. The rift comes between the people that work hard for what they have and those who want what everyone else has but isn't willing to work for it.

As far as "Love it or Leave it" - what's wrong with that? If all you are going to do it piss and moan about something why be a part of it? Go find something better. Or, vote your party in and make it better according to what you want. You got your way so why are you still harping on Bush? Get over it people!

I have never seen anyone that was "silenced" by conservatives. Give me some examples of this.

Takes the good from both... but it isn't happening is it? Pelosi pushed her agenda through in the middle of the night without any input from the repubs.

Why is bipartisanship good?

Yeah, I'm losing my butt in the stock market

and I hate the idea that my grandkids will have pay exorbitant taxes

and that gas will be rationed

and that wolves will become more important than people

and that more kids will be aborted than born

and that we won't be allowed to whisper a prayer in public

and that we will be able to own a gun but won't have ammo for it

and that Gitmo prisoners will be running around bombing the heck out of the US

and that every cabinet member is a crook

and that the mouse will be more important than a business for funding

and that I won't be able to go the doctor of my choosing

that illegals will receive more compensation from the government than retiree's

Enjoy your times while we sit back and watch our country become a third world nation.

Your responses weren't exactly articulate. But I will try to respond somewhat.

Wolves - I guess you don't live in my area so you have no clue what I'm talking about. A rancher cannot control the wolf population but the wolves can destroy his herd.

Health Care - check it out... They are admitting that universal health care is on it's way and part of bill is . I have lived with it and couldn't wait to get back to decent health care. But, most of you Moore-ites think Cuba has a good health care system. The bill says it will compare effectiveness by limiting costs and treatments. So, the government gets to decide where and how you will be treated. Not too hard for most of us to figure out.

Torture? Torture?? Torture??? Name the "torture" so I can understand what you consider torture. My husband thinks torture is when he has to wait for me for more 5 minutes. That must be your idea as well. Do you really think those terrorists would be any different if they hadn't been held in Gitmo? Maybe... They would have been dead by now because they blew themselves up in a bombing somewhere in the US.

With the liberal agenda there will not be drilling in Anwar, off shore, etc. The coal mines will be bankrupt under Obama's plans. I guess we can all drive around in a $40,000 elec car... Oh, but you guys won't let us have hydro power anymore because it hurts the Salmon.

Wealthy tax cuts creates jobs. I work for a wealthy man. Much better job than a government one. But, I guess that's the dream job of every lib - work for the government.

Pesky Iraq war? My grandson will be going over to fight for your freedom soon. Thank heaven for the fight over there and not here.

Climate change is NOT global warming. In fact, are you going to blame me now for the global cooling we are now going into?

Third World - here we come.

To counter some of your points:

President Barack Obama’s Environmental Protection Agency pledged to regulate global warming pollution from coal-fired power plants today, granting a petition filed by the Sierra Club and other environmental organizations. The decision casts an almost palpable shadow of doubt over the fate of roughly 100 proposed coal plants awaiting permits throughout the United States and should offer a brief respite in the ongoing fight against continued reliance on the dirty fossil fuel.

Antarctic Sea Ice for January Up! NSIDC

This is an increase of 34.8% for ice extent and 22% for ice concentration over 1997. In addition 2009 ice extent was up 23% over 1980 (the first full year of satellite measurements)!

Gitmo deaths can be attributed to suicide and riots caused by inmates. No pity from me. They act like pigs and should be treated as such.

Would you be willing to take one into your home and rehab him?

It's the wolves that just kill to kill. You tell me how a rancher can tell which wolf is going to kill one of his herd and then he can protect from it. Dumb city attitudes...

Yep - tax cuts do create jobs. Here at our company we were able to create jobs with the cuts and will have to cut the employee's if taxes go up!

I would NEVER respect nor support a terrorist.
