Im about finished reading the biography of George Washington and what really struck me is how, during his second term in office, the Father of Our Country was maligned and disrespected by opposing political parties. The nastiness and name calling has been going on since the very first American president, a man who had to be talked into running for office twice and did everything possible to remain nonpartisan. Do I support our current president? Yes. Am I surprised that so many (congressmen, senators, the media) are debasing him? Not anymore. This is politics and free speech in action. This is HEALTHY. Its when there is only silence, when there a fear of speaking aloud or dissenting, that we should truly worry. Nero, Caligula, Hitler and Stalin became who they were - despots - because few would speak out against them.
