Those who ``hate'' our form of government and show ``disrespect'' for the highest office in the land should ponder this:
During World War II, Joe Louis (at that time, the world heavyweight boxing champion) was in Europe entertaining the troops. In an interview he was asked why he volunteered his time when there is so much racial prejudice in his country.
His reply: ``There is nothing wrong with my country that Mr. Hitler can fix.''
