Reply #124: Perhaps we should apply the same standard to Presidents Obama and Chavez.

"We must oppose Obama when he is wrong, correct him when he goes astray, and support him when he is wrong (right?)." True AND we must oppose Chavez when he is wrong, correct him when he goes astray, and support him when he is right, otherwise we become Chavez' cultists.

I get your point that anyone whose support is unwavering and uncritical runs the risk of being perceived as a cultist.
