(Newser) – Pat Robertson thinks Barack Obama has plenty of flaws—he accuses him of letting Nancy Pelosi write the stimulus bill, for starters—but he's got no patience for Rush Limbaugh's hope that the new president fails. "That was a terrible thing to say," Robertson tells US News and World Report. "I mean, he's the president of all the country. If he succeeds, the country succeeds. And if he doesn't, it hurts us all. Anybody who would pull against our president is not exactly thinking rationally."

Speaking of a traitor can often be interpreted as treason. The views of each and everyone of us must be heard. It is a right given to us in The Constitution, that defines how this republic works. To shapes hift the template for this country, alter it , and change the boundaries of this template, transforms the Republic's template into a Balloon. Now we are socialist in our ideals, not a republic, with a Constitution, that holds Democracy as an Ideal. The Idiotic interpretation of the definition of protocol, or the sometimes variance of neglecting protocol, ends up , there is no protocol. The Republic for which it stands is repeated often, yet understood seldom. A Harvard Diploma, or Yale , or Texas A&M , doesn't automatically qualify one as an expert. Only a student of a class, that could have been taught by a misguided Individual. Philosophy Is, As Philosophy Does. The point Being We All have the First Amendment right to speak. Hopefully we will use our God Given Right to Listen. Without careful listening, we are lost. The Nature of human's is to reject, plug your ears to that which is contrary to your beliefs. To call names , and impose some kind of curse, or wish that the orators life come to a screeching halt, is a display of adolescent mental masturbation. GROW UP ! Listen, Talk,Then Listen Again. It is our responsibility to our children, to not turn a blind Eye to a possible threat to a Republic that has worked GREAT for 233 years. The absence of checks and balances in a system, leads to corruption, and Demise of that system. WE ARE THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA ! More B.S. ... http://www.themissinglink.us
