Oh, that's what she was doing. I thought that she was having a stroke. Alas, not.

No, most of them, according to Fox News, thought that it happened last week. They even said that they thought the president blew it. These idiots are so predictable.

Coaldigger,

I think that you are absolutely dead-on...particularly in the manner in which you lay out our choices. Thank you.

Indeed. Chucky looked like hell frozen over or death warmed up in a microwave. And Pelosi just seemed more interesting in picking dinner out of her teeth.

Democrats have gone so far over the edge due mostly to their personal reaction to Trump, the man, that they have lost the ability to present a different point of view. Just like a 4th grader, on the playground, they resort to making rude gestures and name calling in lieu of a rational argument. I fear that a big part of their anger stems from the fact that Trump is not a professional politician and does not follow the code of deception and corruption that they and even their fellow congressmen across the aisle have agreed to perpetuate their scam. He is instead, a businessman, which they hate and deem evil but they don't know what to charge him with.

We, the people, are left with two options: blindly follow the flawed but honest neophyte or oppose him, allowing the wolves the run of the henhouse. There is no room for debate, negotiations or the introduction of better ideas. We are damned if we do and damned if we don't.

I certainly hope those slugs are alienating some supporters.
But me dino is willing to bet that most snowflakes do not even know that the State Of The Union Address even happened last night.

Me dino was laughing every time the camera displayed the glum democommiecrats save for the first time I saw Chuck Schumer.
Not wearing his goofy specs oft halfway down the bridge of his nose, Chucky was siting sloppy hunched down with his chin on his chest and peering up in such a way that he struck me as some embodiment of evil.
Chucky appeared to be Darth Schumer at that brief moment. Me dino was all like "Good grief!"
My spell checker does not like "Schumer." Me dino clicked on it red-lined and saw that the topmost of three options was "Schemer."

I think we should no longer be silent. We should speak out against the idiocracy, using logic as our weapon. Obviously, we should vote, and support who we think are good candidates for public office, financially and/or with our time. I am trying to bear in mind that there will be few, if any, candidates who are in lock-step with my thinking. However, they will be, more than often, the better choice against a liberal democrat.

Re: "…what do we do to stem this tide?" We are being greatly helped in this effort by the "celebrity left" itself, which is doing a superb job of putting on display its foaming-at-the-mouth, irrational hatred of everything Trump, and in the process alienating huge numbers of its own supporters.

I am not prone to seeing the “sky as falling” or drawing conclusions based on limited evidence. However, after viewing the Democrat’s behavior during the State of the Union address last night, coupled with everything else I have seen from the left, I am now convinced that we are, indeed in a battle for the soul of western civilization.

Just a few related notes:

1. Black members of congress could not even bring themselves to cheer when the lowest unemployment rates for blacks was touted. Call me silly, but that seems like good news.

2. Some members of congress were wearing some sort of silly wrap…not sure what that represented. It was particularly noticeable when a black congressman left in the middle of the address in a huff. Can anyone tell me what Trump said that was so inflammatory that this idiot just couldn’t take it anymore, and just had to leave? Can anyone provide evidence that Trump is a racist, as he is so often depicted?

3. Trump is offering a fair immigration deal (more than fair from my perspective…these people are here illegally…facts are facts). However, no one on the left seems to be even considering the proposal. Let’s be honest, the left wants to enroll millions of new voters, quickly, so that they can use their votes to mold this country into their socialist, left-wing dream-state. Adding millions of left-wing leaning voters is the fastest, surest path to making that dream-state a reality. Make no mistake of this reality. The left doesn’t really care about the plight of immigrants. They are just a tool for the left’s grab for power.

4. Finally, who the hell do the members of the entertainment and music business think they are…that they feel empowered to foist their illogical left-wing thinking on the American public at every opportunity? Who in the hell does Stephen Colbert, a hack comedian, think he is? I will answer my own question. He thinks he is smarter than everyone else, and it is job to educate the great “unwashed” public.

There are so many other examples that I could write non-stop through next week. However, the real question is this…what do we do to stem this tide? I have but a few answers:

1. Engage any left-wing acquaintances you have with facts. Make sure that they know that you are communicating from a logical perspective. Most won’t “get” it, but perhaps a few will.

2. Boycott those performers who think that they should be preaching to you. Just to mention a few…Matt Damon, Meryl Streep, Steven Colbert, George Clooney, Jimmy Kimmel, Samantha Bee, and each and all of the preachy Grammy performers. You can watch movies that include these actors, but just don’t line their left-wing pockets by going to theaters to see their movies.

3. Speak out…let your thoughts be known. And while we are all pretty darn emotional about what is going on, let’s keep emotions out of our arguments. Even though it often fails, logic is really our only ally.

4. Campaign and make whatever donations you can for those candidates that closely align with your thinking (and remember, no candidate is going to think just like you).

A final point…our country is thriving again, even with a limited amount of change. And think about it…other than a couple of small, almost homogenous countries (Sweden, Denmark, the Netherlands, etc.), no country has thrived under left-wing socialism. This is a point that cannot be disputed.

I have a company to run, and a payroll to meet, so I don’t have a lot of time to put against politics. However, I have been pushed beyond my personal tipping point, and will be making an ongoing effort to communicate what is the truth about this country.
