Raising questions is not the same as going out of one's way to make up stuff, retail libelous gossip, or put everything in the worst possible light.........

Hello Jr. Baloon. Two comments about your misunderstanding of my postion. 1) Yes people can be critical of the government. I have been critical myself a number of times. But it should be BACKED UP. If it is partisan whining with no back-up I have no respect for it. 2) When we are in a WAR, people should give the benefit of the doubt if THEY CANNOT BACK IT UP. If you state that Bush is doing a lousy job, tell why you think that. When it is just insulting our leaders in a time of WAR I think it helps the enemy because it divides us. There is an underlying current of hatred for America in many of these posts. If I have reacted strongly to a post, it is probably flagrantly against America or Bush or our institutions. If you look back at my most vitriolic posts and are offended, click back to what I am responding to to see if it is justified. I will respond and possibly retract any statement that does not correlate in an honest fashion. If you attack America with no back up, I will respond as though you attacked my family, which is how I view our awesome country.
