Allan, it is completely your right to hate Pelosi to her core and wish that she and the horse she rode on would just plunder in to the sunset.
I feel the need to point out though that she did not say that people who oppose health care reform are unAmerican. Her comments were in regards specifically to the town hall protesters who were shouting down and not allowing anyone else to speak. These people were not speaking their mind they simply wanted distraction and confusion. Freedom of speech is an American right and in my opinion these fringe folks were not being respectful of anyone else’s right to free speech.
I appreciate you mentioning Bush/Cheney and that’s why I understand how her statements could piss you off. I remember hearing I was unAmerican for not supporting Bush or the war and at that time I also said that dissent is the highest form of patriotism and liberty. Take that away and what do you have? I don’t know, but I’m sure a North Korean refugee could explain it very well.
I also completely agree with an earlier post you wrote that Obama needs to stop letting Congress take control of the issue. He also does need to “go on the stump” and explain this to the American people. We will see Wed night when he addresses Congress and I’m sure this thread will be blowing up!
