I mean, I *will* respect them, once I am allowed to see what they are.
Today is a good day to die.
I didn't say for whom.

Oprah called on President Obama's critics on Friday to “show some level of respect.”
"I feel that everybody has a learning curve, and I feel that the reason why I was willing to step out for him was because I believed in his integrity and I believed in his heart," the influential TV host said on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” in Chicago.
Of the negative mood of the country, Oprah added, “I think everybody complaining ought to try it for once.”
She said the presidency is a position that “holds a sense of authority and governance over us all,” and that “even if you’re not in support of his policies, there has to be some level of respect.”
While I agree she earned her money, I don’t have any respect for her views. She is a racist beyotch if you ask me...and EXTREMELY impressed with herself. Remember her foot-stomping tantrum in Paris because the store had the nerve to close at its scheduled time? A person of integrity does not expect others to kneel before them.
Ok. I'm showing the lowest level I can. Happy now?
Tell Oprah I have a message for her.
I just heard Herman Cain on CNN and he has my respect. (by the way, it was earned)
I would vote for him for President in a whales heatbeat “despite his being black”.
Nonetheless Orca and her posse claim I am a racist and I hate Barack the incompetent because he is black, not because he is dishonest, decietful and dim witted. And not because he has never held a real job in his life, not because I have been conservative all my life and not because I have a severe dislike for social engineering and liberal ways.
R-E-S-P-E-C-T. Just a little bit. Oprah, the new Respect Czar.
Exactly! How and why the no talent recipient of white guilt ever got as far as she did will be fodder for historians studying the collapse of the United States of America. How in the world did America sink so low as to give Oprah an audience? Oprah is yesterday’s trash. In the new America that is coming, there will no time to sit around and bemoan your circumstance. Enough feasting on other’s self pity. Oprah go to hell. You are everything that the American ideal is not.
One must EARN respect, Ofrah - you TWIT.
I mean, I *will* respect them, once I am allowed to see what they are.
Ah yes, the respect thing.
How about he goes first....respect the Constitution, respect the laws of this country, show loyalty to the U.S., respect the will of the people who don’t want your crap rammed down our throats....
I don’t recognize any authority Oprah has claimed for herself to lecture me about who I respect and how much.
Tw*t!
Funny how the libs did their best to disrespect and bring down the Bush presidency but suddenly with Zero at the controls, we’re supposed to respect him and give him a chance. Are you kidding me?
Sorry to hurt your feelings, Oprah, but many people were horrified at the thought of putting a person in the White House who had a whopping 1 + year’s experience in the Senate as preparation to be President of the United States. That person, by the way, has done nothing whatsoever to convince us he’s worthy of the office. You may think he’s just peachy keen, but that’s your reality, not ours.
The Obamas are NOT as intelligent as advertised!
His entire POTUS campaign was based on false advertising!
Precisely.
She said the presidency is a position that “holds a sense of authority and governance over us all,” and that “even if you’re not in support of his policies, there has to be some level of respect.”

I sort of prefer Ethan Allen’s perspective, which he directed towards another abusive Crown.
“God damn your king, God damn your governor, and God damn your laws.”
Lest any here take offense, I do not regard this as blasphemy or taking God’s name in vain, but rather earnest and sincere prayer He would look down and judge the matter.
Actualy, Orca, we ARE respecting your hero.
We’re respecting him TWICE as much as your side respected any Republican president.
That’s all, Orca. See you next Tuesday.
Oh you know what’s funny?
On some show where they explore someone’s ancestry, they did it with Oprah. And Oprah was practically praying and a hoping her ancestors were the Zulu tribe. Yeah, those guys who were fighting the English. She wasn’t connected to them, but I think that says a lot about what she really thinks. She didn’t want to hear that she was related to a group that were peaceful farmers.
When your guy is elected, call for respect.
When you are in the minority, call for civility and compromise and working together.
Obama. “We won.” I will give Obama exactly the same respect he gave.
“We won.”
Now let us home that winning the House actually matters, and that it translates into votes.
