The way we view U.S. leaders reflects how other countries view this nation

I would like to comment as a non- U.S. citizen (from New Zealand) on the excellent column ”Grace for the Nation’s Leaders” by Brittany Hardy. I have no investment, emotional or therewise, in either of your nation’s major parties, and no political ax to grind. But I have to say I am totally shocked with some of the small-mindedness of U.S. citizens who openly attack and vilify your current president on such public places as Twitter, Facebook and various public political Web sites. Their comments are not only straight- out immoral, ungodly (or whatever you may wish to call them) at the personal level — they bring to mind a good old-fashioned word that we seem to be forgetting today: ”traitor.” I have been driven to wonder if these people ever stop to think about how their behavior reflects on the world view of the United States. Or does the rest of the world not matter in their eyes? If that’s the case, they need a wake- up call. Whatever happened to good old patriotism, where our country is supposed to be more important than our own personal political hang-ups? After all, that’s why citizens volun- teer for the armed services. These vocal- ists are blessed to be in a nation that encourages freedom of thought. Does it not occur to them that if they cannot respect— at least publicly — their elected leader, how on earth is the rest of ‘Option 2’ best proposition the world to respect your country?
