But I'm not about to bare my throat in a submissive gesture just because illegal aliens are now suddenly "guest workers".

I don't anyone is asking you to cave-in and march in lock-stepped silence. As someone who enthusiastically supports Bush's re-election, I will tell you that I have doubts about his immgration proposal. I support the President in spite of my doubts because I think it is foolish and immature to say that one or two issues should cause one to break from the President. I think the mature thing, as you have articulated, is to express opposition to policies one does not agree with, but to realize that there are other policies that are worth supporting, and that these tip the balance in favor of support for the President. What I see from the Bashers on FR is a strident hatred of the President over one or two issues -- not just a disagreement, but a loathing of George W. Bush over one or two things. I just don't get that perspective. And in the intensity of their loathing, I see no difference between them and the Deaniacs.

"And in the intensity of their loathing, I see no difference between them and the Deaniacs."

It's not just the Deaniacs, MOST of the dems have expressed this irrational loathing. Their red-faced, spitting rages seem to have found their way to this forum.

Talk here amounts to the equivalent of firing your restaurant's best chef because the recipe calls for celery and you don't like celery. The chef has simply put the celery on the cutting board for the assistant chefs to address. Maybe they'll use all of it, none of it or only the best parts of it.

President Bush has put controversial issues on the table and our representatives must now address them.
