Something for conservative to keep in mind

In reading this article by Bill Kristol in The Weekly Standard this morning it made me think about a future with a President Obama and how we, as conservatives should behave. One part of it especially spoke to me.

We at THE WEEKLY STANDARD congratulate Barack Obama on his impressive
victory. We pledge our support for those of his policies we can support, our
willingness to give him the benefit of the doubt in cases of uncertainty, and
our constructive criticism and loyal opposition where we are compelled to
differ. We hope President Obama's policies and decisions will strengthen the
nation he will now lead, and that our country and the cause of freedom in the
world will emerge from the next four or eight even stronger than they are today.

I did not vote for President-elect Obama and disagree with some of his views and intended future policies very much so, but let us not behave like the far-left has over the past eight years toward President Bush. Let us be this loyal opposition and treat the office of the President with respect even though we might disagree with the man occupying it.
