It doesn’t matter the circumstances. Our elected leaders jeering at and shouting down the President of the United States is not okay. Period. What happened to disagreement through debate? When did decency over demagoguery become foolish?

It’s possible to disagree on a couple things and maintain respect. It’s possible to disagree with more than a couple things and treat each other with grace. I see your satire and vitriol, and raise you decency and gentleness.

It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly;
