Today I was at the gym doing cardio, and as always, I was compelled to see what kind of crap they were spouting on Faux 'News'. I usually just listen to my trance music but it is like a train wreck, sometimes you just cannot help but look. Anyway, there was this indignant story about this painting displayed in the state of the California attorney general's office. The reporter said that it was 'un-American' and how could such marginal speech be protected in a public office. I am sorry but when did being critical of a president become 'un-American'? If that were the case, all those right-wingers would have been un-American during the 90s because that is all they did.

As President Theodore Roosevelt once said: "To announce that there must be no criticism of the president, or that we are to stand by the president, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public."

Let us not forget that Bush is only a politician -- that is it and we have the right to disagree with his politics ALL WE WANT. Again, this goes back to my view of the weakness of the US political system is when a politician is chief of state -- it causes people to believe that it is sacrilege to say anything is wrong with him (especially in this 'time of war').

What I did not understand about this correspondent from Faux 'News' was why she was so indignant about people expressing their political views on public property but somehow it is ok for people to display their religious views (i.e.: ten commandment displays) on the same public land. Woteva. What I dislike most about the right in the US today is their complete and total hypocrisy.
