He is right but, discretion is important too.

So is tough love. This happened quite a while ago. Life isn’t fair, and he learned it first hand. A fun bible word search is to search the word, “fair”. My wife’s first husband died of Leukemia in the late 70’s leaving her with three kids under age 8 and no life insurance. That wasn’t fair either, but she moved on. Her middle child is now a multi-millionaire and the others are doing extremely well too.

If she had thrown a self-pity party that may not have happened.

I completely understand double-standards, and that the left wouldn't have standards save for the double ones. But with the defense of Cruz now the defense of Rep Let Go, it's getting embarrassing.

I'll be blunt: it the tables were turned we'd be torching these Republicans. Indeed, we beat up Obama for golfing during natural disasters, and Carolyn McCarthy in NY who made a career out of gun control off her husband's murder.

Cruz made a rookie error, and Holtorf picked the wrong words - he coulda said "My good man, pushing Red Flag laws will simply guarantee that more innocent people like your son will die. I am asking you, to honor the twelve by overturning these hideous infringements on civil liberties."

The knee-jerk defense of stupid comments by Republicans, of course, is founded upon the fear of the opponent gaining yardage off the yellow flag. But red-flag challenges shouldn't be wasted on clear penalties, and in this case Haltorf jumped offsides. He doesn't have to go on an apology tour, but we don't have to go on a defense of his penalty.
