Seems to me you'd be siding against Galileo during the Dark Ages. I mean, heck, he only had a small following, so that obviously means that his ideas and observations were wrong.
Nice try. It's not about ideas or whether they are right or wrong in these cases.
It's about sour grapes, jealousy, frustration and all those very unbecoming traits that are hard to hide.
Please don't pull the "What's wrong with criticizing the president" line either. There's nothing wrong with honest criticism.
However, those who have tried in vain to sit where George Bush sits today and failed, have an ulterior motive for practically everything they say. Last I checked, none of them did a thing to improve my life or yours.
