In my school the president's portrait hung beneath the flag we pledged to every morning. We didn't care if he was Dem or Rep, he was our president and represented us, like it or not. IMHO, some folks are having trouble wrapping their heads around the fact that a man of color is in the White House and since they can't scream that, they scream liberal, lefty, and marxist. He is there because the previous regiume ( I know I spelled it wrong, so don't jump on it) put this country in the hopper. And the People spoke.

He that would make his own liberty secure, must guard even his enemy from oppression; for if he violates this duty, he establishes a precedent that will reach to himself.
