Political Opinions

No, I am not going to say who I support, or which party I think is better. I simply want to rant about the way the president is treated. For eight years, former president Bush was called everything from idiotic to conivingly evil. This, in and of itself, is perfectly fine and legal, due to the First Amendment. However, when this message is being put across, not in words, or arguments, or any rational way whatsoever, it changes. When you draw a cartoon showing George Bush as a big-eared buffoon, or when you have such pictures on your website, you're no longer really saying that he is incompetent, you have moved on to showing how idiotic you really are. There is nothing wrong with practising your Constitutional rights, but degrading someone for no reason other than you disagree with them is despicable. To say you disagree, and then move on and obey the law passed or accept what happened because he was elected by the majority of the nation is mature and a much nicer thing to do. George Bush is not the only president (former or not) to recieve such critisism, whether it be earned or not, but he seems to have gotten the most. You may not agree with me on these views, but, if you comment and tell me how wrong and stupid and (insert your own expletive) I am, then you're just showing how little you think about others, and how selfish you really are. I would, however, like to welcome any comments of a rational and mature nature, whether you agree or not.
