Some have suggested that Sheehan is disloyal to criticize the president in time of war. Even in Vacaville, Sheehan said, some people say she is shaming her son's memory. Conservative blogger Michelle Malkin disdainfully called the activists promoting Sheehan "grief pimps."First of all, what the fuck has loyalty TO the president got to do with anything? As I understand it, the president owes HIS loyalty to US, and that means to tell us the truth, not keep any secrets but those that could truly be used to harm us, and that he must earn that loyalty every god-damned day he's in office.
We don't owe any president of any party any loyalty, other than to be loyal to the duty to continually challenge all public officeholders to fulfill their obligations to the Constitution and the people whom they serve. And remember, THEY serve at OUR pleasure.
Anyone who demands loyalty should go find some kingdom or dictatorship to live in. That shit doesn't play in my house, motherfuckers.
