After all the ruckus raised about Democratic Congressman Murtha's call for the immediate withdrawl of troops from Iraq, the President finally said something that should have been said long ago. Of course, the White House staff that called Murtha part of the the Michael Moore and Left Wing of America didn't seem to get the message in time.
President Bush: "People should feel comfortable about expressing their opinions about Iraq. I heard somebody say "Well maybe so and so is not patriotic" because they disagree with my position. I totally reject that thought."
America was born on the basis of many freedoms - including freedom of speech. We should all welcome people to speak up about their beliefs - whether we agree with them or not. With the right wing rhetoric of criticism being un-American, we have to state the opposite - the right to criticize with free speech is the basis of what America is all about.
