My wife responded thusly...
I disagree. I believe that respect can be (and often is) separated from honor or admiration. Sometimes we have to show respect to those we dislike, disagree with, or even have contempt for -- simply because they are in authority over us. You don't have to like them, but you do have to show respect. Of course, EARNED respect is a powerful thing, and we hope that those in leadership would show actions and character that will result in earning our further respect. But that's not always the case, sadly.
My wife is amazing.
