How do these two President's statements make you feel when seen in contrast with the other? How do you view each separately? What does it mean to you personally? What does it mean to you as a whole? Does one take away from the other and if so, how?
Please think deeply for a moment after reading these quotes and before giving your thoughts. Thanks!
Theodore Roosevelt, (1858-1919), 26th president, once said, "To announce that there must be no criticism of the President, or that we are to stand by the President, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public."
George Walker Bush, 43rd President, once said, "Either you are with us, or you are with the terrorists."[

Bush is SHAMEFUL! I imagine many of our past Presidents are rolling in their graves.
been there ---> Roosevelt wrote this editorial May 6, 1918 for the "Kansas City Star" durning World War I. There's your context.

One quote is from a man capable of critical thinking. The other is from George Bush

You need to take the statements in context. Thanks for the
Roosevelt speech I had'nt heard it before. It sounds like a stump speech. Politics is mostly rhetoric. What Bush said
was directed at bringing the American people together after
an unspeakable act. Politically they are both good.

properly, for Teddy, there grow to be no actual enemy to the yankee public. For GW there is. in case you do not help the Internation conflict on Terror, you fairly are with the terrorists. in case you do not help the governments of the worldwide who're working to stop terrorism, you're doing not something different than hurting the destiny victims of terror. probably even your self or your loved ones. Take issues into context, and you will answer your very own question.
