Do as We Say, Not as We Do - Or Else

“I am sick and tired of people who say that if you debate and you disagree with this administration somehow you’re not patriotic. We should stand up and say we are Americans and we have a right to debate and disagree with any administration.”
--- Former Democratic Presidential candidate Hillary Rodham Clinton, on April 28, 2003 at a Democratic Party fundraising dinner in Connecticut

"....These disruptions are occurring because opponents are afraid not just of differing views — but of the facts themselves. Drowning out opposing views is simply un-American. Drowning out the facts is how we failed at this task for decades."
--- Democratic House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Democratic House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer, as posted at 12:15 AM/ET, August 10, 2009 on USAToday's blog/column forum

What a difference a shift in perspective makes.

When it's them doing it, it's patriotic and any administration just has to learn to live with it.

When it's us doing it, it's un-American and must be shut down by any means necessary.

Anybody out there still surprised by this?
