Probably this is the reason why my opinion might be dissonant. To me, respect is not earned. Rather, it can be lost. |

I was there. They booed, and it was loud. It was pretty embarrassing to be honest. You don't boo a President, no matter how unpopular he is in my opinion. |
How was the game, man? that's tight! I love your sig btw...elephants rock. |

The game was great, but the stadium was amazing! My friends and I are already circling dates on the schedule that we can go back for games. I imagine I'll be pretty familiar with the Nats by the end of the summer. |

Ah, I see the difference here:
I do not believe the above for even a minute, nor do I feel compelled to respect the office when I feel those serving in it are acting as disgraceful and immorally as those in the Bush administration.
It isn't just the one man - it's all that his administration represents. It has destroyed any measure of respect I'd have given him even as a courtesy.
How does that old chestnut go again? "Respect is a privilege, not a right", or was it that "respect is earned, not given"?
Something like that. Either way, he and the office he represents do not have mine. |
I think you'd be one to appreciate this the most...
Reading through your post I was reminded of an episode of 24 two seasons ago where Aaron is talking to Logan while detained and goes, "You're a traitor to this country and a disgrace to your office, and it's my duty to see that you're brought to justice for what you've done. Is there anything else... Charles!?" |
