""No, of course not. You self-righteous types ...""
Good for you, Wolfstar - - - that's putting tessalu in his (or her) place. Noone should be allowed to disagree with our leaders. When the courts speak, we are to salute. That's what Cheney is saying -- and you are right to chastize tessalu for independent thinking.
You self-righteous types who like to profess your Christianity at ever turn actually don't behave as Christ taught us. In your blind zealotry, you would tear down the entire constitutional structure of the United States just to make your pseudo-Christian point that judges must knuckle under to your demands.
The complete context matters. Nothing in my statement (nor that of the Vice President) suggests that we are not allowed to disagree with our leaders. Rather, I stated my point of view as to why the poster did not agree with the VP. That is far, far different from saying he or she could not agree.
Of course, maybe this concept will stretch your reasoning power to its limit, but we all have our crosses to bear.
