GENERAL McCHRYSTAL

It really says something important about people who take the term 'free speech' literally with no common sense about repercussions and with bad judgment. For a general who has been taught loyalty first to his country, not to recognize the elected President with respect when speaking to the media, it reflects a man with little conscience, a bit ofmegalomania,  During WW II. it was very clear that loyalty to the country and President came before anything else.  Assumptions and presumptions are critical in keeping some respect for the United States alive in other countries.  GW Bush had pretty much destroyed any positive views if America and Americans.

The schools used to teach children the importance of their country, its leaders, respect of the flag and  service to their country.  Either the media didn't have the amount of dirt our current politicians are giving us or the most negative lies of the opposition party never became flaunted on TV (the non-existent in US households) nor were oppositions as dirty.  Politicians have always made false promises and the public has always been too lazy to check them out properly.  Political polls didn't ask questions in such a way as to force the answer to come in favor of the party du jour.  Women like Palin, Bachmann, Angle, and a few others like them were not known for their looks or lack of media coverage without TV.

If your presidential candidate didn't make the cut, you backed the man who did. (it had  always been a man until recently).Today, we have few reporters of researched facts but many opinions by those claiming to be journalists based on their opinions and guesses.  Meanwhile we are constantly hearing about the militias out there, waiting to take back their government....from whom, you may ask, since they will fight other Americans who feel it is their country, too.  This is treason.  Will someone act to stifle it?  How will that be done?
