Unfortunately, I can't give you any links since they are so old and I have yet to figure out how to copy links on my iPad even if they were available. But even today there are still references made to him being born in Kenya (untrue), being a Muslim (extremely unlikely). He is repeatedly called a liar -- show me a politician who tells the truth and I'll eat my hat. Actually, most of the posts I've seen today haven't been bad except for the birth certificate one. A lot different from before there was a political forum and while I was semi-active in the old political forum.

First I am not sure why the hate for Reagan that you have but it seems very well seated !!! I ask about that because you seem to ignore all the bashing of Bush that took place when you were making your point about respect for the office. I think to make a case that you are trying to make, that is a bit unfair. I am not trying to defend Bush in anyway as that is not the issue. The issue you raised is respect for the office, and I assume you do not believe that respect is just reserved for certain parties.
Having said that.....the birther thing always bothered me and NOT what you think. I was more bothered by the delay in responding but that is water over the dam.
I did get a bit nervous about what I may have said in past posts that I asked you to read and a quick scan of those posts made me feel better. I went out of my way, and do now, to separate the man from the office. Of course I have respect for the office and I am also sure that those who criticize him ALL have respect for the office.
I also in reading those posts can say with a lot of confidence that my concerns about this current President came true....basically all of them. But that is also past news. He IS the President but saying that folks who disagree with his actions or not acting are not taking aim at the office and I hope that the day NEVER arrives where we treat the President as a all knowing, all wonderful person so as not to offend. This country NEEDS and used to thrive on difference of opinions. One criticism I have of this President is his total blind spot for even talking to anyone who disagrees with him.
But, respect for the office......I think 100% of posters on here and in the past have 100% respect for the office. BUT, not as a kingdom !!!
