Don't you love how the right's "patriotic" attitude suddenly changes when a Dem is in office?
Republicans when one of their own is in power:

"Ze liberals have insulted Der Fuhrer! Zis must not be allowed to happen! Ve must crush those who speak ill of Herr Bushenfuhrer! If you dare oppose our Gott und Fuhrer Bush, you are un TRAITOR! To ze camps with you! Amerika Uber Alles! Gott Mitt Us! Sieg Heil! Sieg Heil!"

Republicans when a Democrat is in power:

"I suddenly hate America now! Diebold didn't hand us the election on a silver platter again, so we must take our country back by force! The Founding Fathers never intended for anyone to rule America except white Republicans! We were ordained by God to govern this nation, and we must get it back, even if it means civil war and a violent uprising! Obama forgot to brush his teeth last evening before going to bed, IMPEACH HIS ASS!!! Viva La Resistance!!!"

The hypocrisy is strong with these ones.

1. Cornell University did a study on politics in 2004 with some startling results
Only 51% of self-Identified Conservative respondents said that "individuals should be allowed to criticize the government."

Around 45% of Conservatives said that the "Media should not report criticism ."

48% of Conservatives said the "Media should not cover protests ."

Only half of Conservatives surveyed said that "Individuals should be allowed to protest."
