But doesn't he have a right to belive
those beliefs and stand for them?  How
can we fault the man for standing for
what he believed in when we do that
same.  No matter what you think of the
beliefs themselves, I belive in
respecting him for having the courage
to stand for them.

I don't agree with everything he's said
or believed, but to me, that's not the
point here.  The point is remembering a
man who had the courage to belive what
he would, who stood for those, right or
wrong and took on his opponents.

If nothing else, I have to respect a
man who opening spoke his mind to the
President of the United States many
times over.  Very few people, even
Americans would have the same courage
to be so honest in the face of our
leader.  (please note that last
paragraph was a lame attempt at humor.)

But hey, you don't have to like the
guy.  No one will like everyone.
