Obama didn't like the "Hussein" middle initial, and named his dog "Bo". I imagine that to those who revere "The One" and label Trump "Drumph", scream "Not my president!", "Orange man bad!", etc, it is objectionable to use "BO" ... TJR, FDR, JFK, LBJ, are not available for comment ... although "W", or "Dubya" still is. Certainly, at least since "Tricky Dick", Ronnie Raygun", and "Dumb Dubya", any thought of "respect for the office" is well gone.
How about the idea of respect for fellow Americans? That may have eroded a bit more slowly, however the "Religious Right" was soundly trashed by the mainstream in the 1980s, Obama had his "Bitter Clingers", and I think Hillary topped the lefts view off nicely with "Deplorables".
Lately I've noticed some objection from the left to the "sheep/sheeple" designation. Interesting because even the left sees that our "elites" have largely become "Excellent Sheep". As a Christian of course, I seek to be one of Christ's lambs -- praying each day that through his Grace and the workings of the Holy Spirit, I might better submit myself to the Good Shepherd.
Somewhere along the way, much of America has lost the sense that we are ALL sheep that have gone astray. Even modern psychology / political science has realized that we are all "followers", the question is really just "of what". John Adams said "Our constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other." It is easy to understand this. Since man is unable to govern himself without a belief in some higher power, creed, etc, if that is lacking, some form of intrusive dictatorship is going to happen -- we can just pray for it to be "benevolent".
As a Christian, I believe the Bible teaching that it is really God or Satan -- not a comfortable thought, however God never promised us comfort -- in fact, he promised that Christians would have have TROUBLE in this world in a constant battle with Satan.
The whole linked article is well worth reading ... short, and NOT religious! I just left the track as I of as I often do. We remain in grave peril ... can Barr and Durham complete their "mission impossible" exposing the tyrannical malfeasance of the Democrat Deep State? Can Trump even be re-elected in the face of massive MSM. Deep State, vote fraud, etc?
It's going to be a wild and dangerous ride!

Egregious as the Flynn case is, it represents something much larger than injustice for one man or innocent mistakes by fallible officials. It was part of a broader effort to spy on political opponents, turn law enforcement and intelligence agencies into partisan instruments, and undermine a duly elected president by illegitimate (and likely illegal) means. If the effort really was that pervasive, if the means really were illegal, if the leaders really were senior officials, this would be the biggest political scandal in American history. We cannot say yet that it is. We won’t know until we see more documents and U.S. Attorney John Durham completes his criminal investigation. But we have already seen very serious malfeasance by very high officials, coordinated across multiple departments. Amid this swirling debris, the Obama legacy is imploding.
