As a Vet myself you can disrespect the man but dont disrespect the office. Also it didnt happen on the 70th anniversary of Pearl Harbor i mean that is unless this happened last year 2011 and we are just hearing about it now. Get your facts straight.

Carl, suppose the actual President, whoever he or she was, were becoming a despot. Then what? The best thing would have been for everyone to simply ignore these fringe nuts. As John Stewart Mill wrote, letting them show their error exposes it to others as error. By attaching them you give them a false legitimacy.

Carl must’ve forgotten that the freedoms guaranteed in the first amendment exist to protect people from being punished from speaking up against what they believe to be a poor leader. I agree with the protesters, and, while I can see Carl’s point about disrespecting the President’s image, without such freedom, the government would have the power to detain or otherwise punish those who disagreed with said leader, making it a dictatorship and not a democracy.

Along with majority rules comes minority rights. That pesky Bill of Rights thing.
