Which, by the way, might be an appropriate activity for the soon-to-be-ex president of the US. Or is that very unprofessional for me to say that here?

In hindsight, it was rash of me to post my original comment. I’m certainly not against freedom of speech, and I know that the authors of GSS are and should be allowed to post whatever they want…be it fact, opinion, or anything else…on their blog.

My personal philosophies are such that I should have thought objectively about what was being said before taking personal offense to it. I agree with Tammo that being PC is no fun, and I personally think that PC is causing harm to our society in ways that most people don’t even realize.

I think the reason that I originally felt put off by the quote about “luckily, America is prevented,” is that it lumped all Americans together into a giant pro-Bush crowd…as if, were it not for our Constitutional amendment limiting presidential terms, we would all want him back for a 3rd time around.

I can assure you that (at least personally) that is not the case. I think I was more offended by the fact that in order to achieve a humorous tone, James grouped all of us together on an issue that has had our country severely divided for the last 8 years.

So I wanted to apologize for my original comment that did not align with my personal beliefs and is not something that I should have posted. Politics is a sensitive subject, and I’m sorry that it clouded my judgment enough for me to post a comment like that.

Thanks for reading.

I don’t usually think of professionalism when I’m looking at a kid crash his scooter, or a guy flip off the street view cameras.
