Reminding us once more that dissent quit being patriotic once Obama became president.

Or so says this not-so-distinguished professor of law at a third-rate state law school in Florida.

Right-wing disdain for the first African-American president is primordially violent and expressed in dishonest, uninformed, racist and unpatriotic rhetoric and demonstration.

I am not concerned with right-wing dishonesty, ignorance, racism or hate marching; these are not new phenomena in American culture and politics. However, what concerns me is the combustible combination of these perspectives when combined with a lethal dose of violent and unpatriotic actions targeting the U.S. president.

Later on he goes so far as to argue that a true patriot "loves. . . the U.S. president." Amazing just how silent Professor Jeremy Levitt was about this for the last eight years when his fellow leftists argued that they loved the country but hated the president.

But better late than never. Now shut up and kneel before your betters, conservatives.

Especially since Barack Obama is in office not because it is the will of the American people, but because it is the will of God!

I would remind the far right what the Apostle Paul wrote, " ... there is no authority except from God, and the authorities that exist are appointed by God." Hence, Obama is the U.S. president and leader of the Free World because he was appointed by God.

Need I say more?

Yeah, Professor -- probably to the ACLU and Americans United for the Separation of Church and State over your efforts to impose a theocratic government on the United States. You know -- in violation of that little First Amendment thing.

And let's not forget that your argument leads to the inevitable conclusion that Adolf Hitler was appointed by God and that those Germans who resisted him were not only wrong to do so, but disobedient of God.

But if you want to sling around biblical texts, I suppose I could offer this one instead, Psalm 109:8 -- which will be my prayer every day until the 2012 election.

May his days be few; may another take his place of leadership.

So Professor Levitt, go crawl back into your hole at your sorry excuse of a law school and take your accusations of racism, unAmericanism, and ungodliness with you.
