The 'worshipper', 'bot' and other names are uncalled for. As are the stupid 'paid poster' accusations.

Nobody is going to agree with the President 100% of the time, but it seems like there are people that will trash him if he says that the sky is blue.

I am not going to waste my time despising anyone. They are entitled to their opinion, just as you and I are entitled to ours. I don't, however, like the increasingly shrill 'with us, or against us' attitude. In the end, it's just a discussion board.
