Illegitimate foes

I have watched almost every State of the Union address, since moving here 15 years ago, and while I am used to the opposition not standing or applauding during the policies in the speech they do not agree with, but the response Jan. 30 had to be the most disgusting and unpatriotic display of childish behavior by the Democrats that I have ever seen!

Their demonstrable display of hatred for the president runs so deep that they could not even acknowledge with appreciation, the heroic efforts of the guests that were there. Some democrats made a big display of not attending, some even walked out when chants of USA were made. There was such a scowl on Nancy Pelosi’s face that I thought she had a tooth missing!

They claim to have a respect for the office of the presidency, but not the president, which is hogwash since respect for the presidency is only demonstrated when they acknowledge the will of the people that elected the man in office, like it or not!

The Democrats complain that President Trump is dividing the country, but the fact is that they are the ones who are refusing to cooperate with him. They say that they don’t hate him, but they hate his policies, and yet what about Trump’s willingness to give the Democrats more than they asked for with respect to the illegal aliens that are here, and a path to citizenship for them? That is not a typical Republican offer, and they sat on their hands with frowns on their faces, like a bunch of spoiled kids! They deserve nothing after that display!

The lowest unemployment rate in history for blacks and Hispanics, and they sneered as they sat on their hands! An extreme amount designated for infrastructure spending, and they acted like they are against spending money and concerned about the debt, which is laughable.

Don’t be fooled into thinking that the rest of the country hates President Trump like they do. Reports are that 60 percent of Democrats polled thought the speech was positive. Who cares if you like him or not. You can be sure that the country was also watching, and to think that the people would let Nancy Pelosi become Speaker of the House again and give the Democrats the majority after that outrageous behavior?

This is the same lady that said $1,000 given in bonuses to the workers from their companies was just crumbs! How out of touch can you possibly be, when a majority of people do not even have a $1,000 emergency savings! If things continue as they have, it would be foolish for the Democrats to make the same mistake they did and misjudge middle America!
