opinions

[simplyn2deep]

I get that everyone is entitled to their opinions and are allowed to voice said opinions, but I really don't like when people (namely Limbaugh and ppl who call into his show) talk badly about or insult the President.

I'm trying to think back to past Presidents and if I felt the same way, and I can't remember so I don't know if I feel this way because of who the President is.

It annoys me because when my dad listens to talk radio, I have to close myself away in my room or turn my music up LOUD to drown out what he's listening to.

Yuck. I can't stand talk radio either, unless it's sports talk radio. Some of that's hilarious.

talk badly about or insult the President

That depends. If they are saying it about him personally, then it is wrong, just like with anyone else, no matter who. But if you're attacking his policies and what he hasn't done and that the country is in a lot of ways more fucked up, then yes - free speech and all that.

I grew up with that fucker LBJ sending kids to a conflict (notioe I will not call Vietnam a war) then Nixon who in some ways was good (ended the Vietnam conflict, gave us a sort-of treaty with Red China, but he made a mockery of the presidency with Watergate and wiretapping), I don't count Ford, then Carter (the first one I was able to vote for) - who failed in many ways, and of course Reagan-Bush eras, which plunged us into a financial mess. We were doing good under Bill, but then everybody focused on Monica Lewinsky and his politics, and the things he was doing for the country, were forgotten. I also grew up with kids wanting to be president, and thankfully kids don't say that anymore. The job sucks, it pays poorly considering what you have to deal with and you inherit all the BS from the last person who held the job and get stuck trying to clean up their mess.

I used to listen to talk radio, and some local guy who came on NBC-AM (NY) every day at 5 and I listened to him every single day when I drove home and he made me crack up and he was pretty neat...and a little shocking. His name was Howard Stern LOL.

My mom's been around for quite a few presidencies and she assures me (although it's not positively reassuring) that it has never, ever been this disrespectful and terrible about a president until now.

that's exactly what I thought! and the crap that comes out of Limbaugh's mouth has me shaking my head and wondering WHY AND HOW he's still on the air

ug it pisses me off! They're allowed to do it but when Democrats do it, they're labeled as traitors and unpatriotic.
