About Respect Our President (RoP)
- RoP was founded one day before the election.
- RoP was founded by two conservative non-Obama voters.
- RoP is a group for people from all over the political spectrum.
-
RoP is calling for civility in agreement and disagreement. Disagreement
with the president is natural, healthy, and a right
protected by our
founding documents. RoP members are encouraged to disagree with
specific positions and arguments while
always offering a clear
insult-free rationale.
- RoP administrators edit very little,
but reserve the right to delete inflammatory posts and posts designed
to hijack the group.
- RoP is not a religious group. However,
discussion boards often include comments about religion (most
specifically Christianity)
not necessarily by design, but because many
members of the religious right are processing what it means to respect
and honor
a president with whom they might disagree. I imagine the
discussion themes would look much different had McCain won.
-
RoP is not a passive discussion group. We are calling for action and
individual change in conduct and attitude that will prompt
larger
change in the political arena nation-wide.
