Loyalty can be shown even when you don't agree with everything the man is doing.

But that doesn't mean you have to be a tongue wagging lapdog.

There were many things I didn't agree with my commanders on in the Marines, but I did follow their orders and had my troops do the same. I made them think the orders came from me.

Bush is a far greater president than most we had in the last Century.

But I will reserve the right to disagree and to work towards defeating those things he attempts to do that I personally don't agree with.

Unlike being a Marine, that is my right as a Citizen of my state and the United States.

After all, "WE the People" means you and me, and that's who those in government work for.

Not the other way around.

That being said.

God Bless and keep President Bush and guide him in his endeavors.

I can agree with your sentiment here (on the whole). With that said the levels at which a segment of our base has attacked this fine man (not simply agreed to disagree with him) but to attack him with the same old ,tired and ugly MSM/DEM attack lines.....that is utterly pathetic.

This nation should be honored to have a man of GWB class, dignity and integrity in office. He has shown a character with a quiet and steadfast resolve that is terribly lack in most people today.

God bless President GWB.

We all have a voice ..and the blessed privilege of living in a place where our votes are what puts our representatives in government. We have the opportunity to let our opinions be known to our elected officials, but how many just bloviate verbally and in their postings and don't DO anything to make a difference?

People like you are not the problem. It's people who act like he's freakin' Mao when he doesn't dance to their tune, or act like we who support him are all twits. If you were either of those types, you wouldn't have written a post with the class of this one I'm responding to.

Nobody, and I mean nobody, who supports the President wants everyone to be shiny, happy lockstep robots. We just want people who hate him to stop pretending they're some sort of reasoned base.
