President Obama encouraged him to speak his mind but Dr. Frank Page is still responsible for what he says.

Is this just a precursor to some future argument this guy plans to make against President Obama's social policies? I really didn't see any points made in this article at all with the exception that he said that he may disagree with him. Maybe he agrees with Glenn Beck and just wants republicans to stand for something, even if it's wrong.

We can all express our opinions and have our desires known, as we did on November 4. Now that our votes count again, we are not afraid of Frank's frankness. He should voice the opinion that the religious zealot's beliefs and preferences are not the drivers of national and international policy, and that they should stop clinging to their guns, and shooting others with them out of fear , loathing and absolute lunacy.

Another obviously well fed right wing religious zealot. Who really cares what these hypocrites think?

What were the specific examples he gave regarding how Obama or his policies, will be disasterous for the United States? I read the entire article and viewed the video but none were given.

Is it merely the fact that the right wing republicans are no longer in power?
He kept referring to people having "virtiolic anger" but didnt cite the rallying cry of specific issues.
The only people I know that possess such "vitriolic anger" *since the election* are the out-of-power republican party.....

Only a Conservative would think that permission from the president is needed to speak one's views in public.

The CBN article has too little content, not enough details.

The President welcomes opposing views and criticisms. They provide insight and enable him to govern better. But opposition and criticism is a double edged sword. It will marginalize extremist views when compared to the more reasonable and centrist Obama.

is this guy serious ? obama social policies will be disastrous for this nation, excuse me comeing from a group of so called christans that supported a president ( bush ) , every step of t he way. Republicans are the arsonists who burned down our national home. they combined their failed ideologies of the Religious Right, so-called free market deregulation and the Neoconservative love of war to light a fire that has consumed America.Now they have the nerve to criticize the "architect" America just hired -- President Obama -- to rebuild from the ashes. they do nothing constructive, just try to hinder the one person willing and trying to fix the mess they created . For the party that created our crises of misbegotten war, mismanaged economy, the lack of regulation of our banking industry, handing our country to rich crooks... to obstruct the one person who is trying to repair the damage is obscene. and for the record , Socialism Is Not a Dirty Word it assumes a bad name because it contradicts the greed of a capitalistic society in which people are left to fend for themselves.

The President welcomes opposing viewpoints. I know that seems odd after the last 8 years, but that is why I voted for him.
