Unfortunately for you, no one ever demanded there be no criticism of the President so your comment is inane as usual. J.

First off......."hate" is not in my vocabulary, and second, I don't "hate" anyone. Labeling those with whom you disagree "hate mongers" doesn't exactly lend itself to reasonable compromise. Thirdly......no one is bullying you or anyone else, and if they are that concept resides within you, for you control your emotions. I see allot of bullies in politics. Kennedy comes to mind, but no one is bullying you or demanding that you agree with them. (maybe i'm wrong....if so......please point them out) And if they are.....so what? Why stoop to that level? Note: I'm always kind to bullies.....it throws them off. This idea that if you disagree you'll be punished or ostracized is personal to you. And if you decide to engage in that kind of tactic (only you can make that decision) then forget making any progress in the arena of ideas. Every thinking American understands the concept behind dissent and respects it. It is the inability to have disagreements without name calling that leads to the empty chasm of intolerance and violence. If you let emotions like hatred stand in the way, the entire process is in peril of being lost in the milieu of illiberality, bigotry and hatred. There needs to be a great deal of maturity on the part of people before discourse can begin. Let that concept begin with you. M
