You Are NOT Entitled to Treat the President with Disrespect

Imagine if Barbara Lee had jumped up and called Bush II a liar in a joint session of congress. Imagine!

You are not entitled to treat the president with disrespect because you have trouble letting go of old prejudices. Even if you are from the American South. 100+ years of denial is more than enough. You won't rise again, gas prices won't go down, and we'll never tolerate fascism for more than a few months after a huge disaster. No more owning people, no more judging them based on anything but the correlation between their words and their deeds. Now, Obama isn't doing things as quickly as I would like, or as much as I would like, but I'm still not sorry I voted for him, because he's *trying* to do the right thing. And if you think he's socialist, you haven't turned off Fox "News" and gotten up off your lazy ass long enough to even look up the word. Fascism is the current rising tide to be afraid of, and we cut it off at the knees in this country by electing Obama. It's still on the rise in tandem with radical fundamentalism in a lot of places around the globe (I'll bet you can name three, outside South Carolina!)....

Guess what, we all have lazy thought patterns and lingering prejudices, but we're getting over it. You are NOT entitled to drag down this country into a pit of hate.

In the more general sense, you are NOT entitled to sit around on your ass and have lazy opinions about issues that you've never bothered to investigate, especially hate-spewing opinions, because it is easier than turning off Fox "News" and doing a little research (which usually involves at least moving your ass from sofa to carseat to library chair, at a minimum).

But you ARE entitled to health care.
