In reply to the discussion: Teddy Roosevelt on supporting the president even when he does wrong . . . [View all]mindwalker_i

Thing is, the quote by Roosevelt is one that has been posted a lot here, and people have never disagreed with it until lately. So I guess not question the president is servile only if the president is a Republican. That's pretty sad.
There are things that I believe are true and not subject to specific circumstances: gravity exists, and one should always question political leaders in a democracy. Whether these are true doesn't depend on whether one is a christian for the former, or who is in office for the latter.
