Rogert Ebert wants critics of Obama to "Put up or shut up"Funny how that only works if there is a
liberal President
Roger Ebert stepped over the
line.
Here's the thing. Just because someone happens to be President doesn't mean that he shouldn't be criticized. He should be. Loudly. Publicly. But for pity's sake pick the battles. The fact is that there are those who lambast both Glenn Beck and Barak Obama (all hail the Imperious Leader, may his toenails never shrink!). If it were a Republican President, Ebert would be at the head of the pack criticizing him. Oh wait, that already happened. Numerous times. Sometimes I really hate being proven right again and again. Now that it's "their guy," liberals like Ebert don't want anyone criticizing the President. And they will go out of their way to paint the most public opposition as "nuts." Just like happened with conservatives and Bush. Me, I say that the problems start because government tries to control too much of your life. Yes, elected officials should be criticized. Loudly. Especially if they break their own rules and promises. And if that doesn't work, just remember that the rule of law works both ways. If the "elite" won't abide by it, there is no reason you have to submit. Posted: Fri - September 3, 2010 at 11:49 AM
