You know, I've really come to hate that phrase "certain people should be held to higher standards for being the good guys" and I'll never support it any more.
Because what it really means is limiting people's actions and behaviors.
For example, the Birthers who use it against Obama in order to attempt to force him to use an executive order to force Hawaii to release his physical birth certificate.
The people who use it against Israel to force the country to use something called proportionate use of force, whatever that means.
So on and so forth.
So no, I will never support that saying ever again.
Because in so limiting people's responses, it also creates double standards.
