RESPECT

I don't make a secret of the fact that I respect blogger Jim Wright of Stonekettle Station. This is a long entry and I may have linked to it before. But, seriously the last two paragraphs don't make sense unless you read the rest of the entry.

The current occupant was "elected" to the office of president of the United States. He appears to believe that being elected to the office entitles him to the respect "earned" by actually filling the office and fulfilling the duties that come with that office.

So far all we've seen are twitter storms, tantrums and the occasional  wandering, disjointed speech. Speeches peppered with claims of how smart he is ect. ect. ect. Now he wants a military parade. Because. Somebody else had one? He saw one on a History Channel documentary about Nazi Germany or the USSR? Or, God/dess help us something on North Korea?

I am prepared to respect the office. I do not, have not, and probably will never respect the individual currently occupying that office.
