1. "To announce that there must be no criticism of the president, or that we

are to stand by the president, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public." Theodore Roosevelt (1918).

It Teddy were right on that one, and my money says he was right on target, guess what that seemingly makes of so many tens of millions of Americans? Sadly, it's maybe a no-win situation for I am afraid that we, as a nation, are f-worded.

2. I wonder if he felt that way while he was president

I presume so, since he's saying this after his tenure.

3. Yet our soldiers are getting KILLED daily for an Iraqi's right to protest?

How stupid are those old turds? You can't have it BOTH WAYS. Jesus...they love Chimp and his War which unless you missed the memo is NOW all about DEMOCRACY. You know... the right to PROTEST against your leader if you see fit to do so.

Suddenly with those idiots its paramount to treason to protest in the US,but they'd love to see Iraqi's rise up in protest.

4. If there was no wars, the AL would have no members

They'd then have to form bowling leagues.
