Yes. D for Different, Double Standards and a few other choice adjectives I could (and do) use to describe Democrats.
I have the right to react when I believe I am threatened with bodily harm.
And people have a right to defend themselves.
Well said.
The hearings leaders should come over and kiss my foot now.
