The Shabby, Sophomoric Behavior of Democrats at the SOTU
American Thinker ^ | 1/31/18 | Patricia McCarthy

Posted on 01/31/2018 2:19:39 AM PST by markomalley

It is difficult to imagine a more galling demonstration of incivility than the Democrats in the room for Trump's SOTU speech. They scowled, frowned, and sat on their hands throughout the speech. They could hardly be bothered to acknowledge the heroes in the audience when they were introduced. While the Dems brought illegal immigrants, Trump invited actual paragons of American character and the families of victims of illegal immigrant crimes, as well as a victim of North Korea. It was embarrassing, like watching the anti-Semites in the UN stomp out of the room when Benjamin Netanyahu speaks. How is it any different? Our Democrats behave exactly like the most racist, intolerant people on the planet, and in their own Capitol.

The Democrats loathe the tax reform that has kick-started the American economy. They abhor the return of American manufacturing and the bonuses so many companies have doled out to their employees. It was not so long ago that Obama essentially swore that "those jobs are never coming back." "Crumbs," billionaire Pelosi called their bonuses. The left today hates our military. They hate the notion of national security. Like Obama, they cannot abide the unfair advantage, as they see it, of American might, American success, and American freedom which they are always trying to impede, to restrict, to regulate and tax. The left has been doing its best to turn the United States into Venezuela for two generations. Progressivism is socialism. Venezuela is how it ends.

They should go back to Africa if they love it so much more than the US.

Can you imagine if the rest of the Congress showed up in lederhosen, kilts, wooden shoes, kimonos, etc.?

I would LOVE to have that part of the speech and the black reaction to it broadcast on a loop for the next few days. It ought to be required viewing.

Then after everyone has seen it, I’d like to poll blacks and ask them who they think is on their side: Trump, or the Congressional Black Caucus?

>> the Communist Party members took off, as if their clothes were on fire

... liar, liar, pants on fire...

Perhaps they had an emergency reason for leaving.

Did Trump say that last night? If so, somehow I missed it.

That is a message that needs to be repeated again and again.

Sophomoric behavior? Since when are Kindegatners regarded as sophomores.

Hi Patty,

It boils down to this, Proud Liberal Progressives only have one desire and goal in life, power and control over their fellow man. They have done everything in their power since we took away their slaves to recreate the plantation through welfare and freebies.

Small children in our church sit up and behave politely, even through the most boring sermons. Why can’t these adults act like small children?

They know lower black unemployment means fewer votes for them.

Except it hasn’t ended in Venezuela.
They may just re-elect the asshat and see just how much
lower things can go.

IIRC, protocol calls for everyone to remain until AFTER the President leaves. As soon as President Trump stopped speaking, the Communist Party members took off, as if their clothes were on fire.

WELL....... they are used to BREAKING THE LAW, what difference would a little 'protocol' make ?

Also, I saw a picture (or clip) of Pelousy shaking her finger at one of her fellow DemocRats in the row behind her for the mortal sin of standing and clapping for the president. Sorry, but I haven't been able to relocate it.

I saw three different pictures of that about an hour ago.

I cannot find the threads they were in and GOOGLE has NONE of those photos showing up with a search.

It's almost like those photos are being censored.

More like the behavior of a two year old throwing a tantrum.

“Hey, fools, this was something good for us—why aren’t you happy about that?”

They didn’t cheer for the heroes or any of the other feel good stories either. They didn’t even cheer for the adopting of that sweet baby girl. I thought who doesn’t like babies ... oh, wait.

These people grow up, become successful, run for Congress and win, only to find out once they get there that they're back in high school again, and they are in the nerd clique while Pelosi is the prom queen.

Would make for some pretty persuasive political ads this fall. The democrat party: where there’s nothing to cheer about!
