Disgusted

Tuesday’s State of the Union address had so many disgusting moments that my stomach is still churning.

They used to say that a broken clock is right twice a day. Or even an idiot gets it right, once in a while.

The Democrats were just wrong.

Back when I watched NFL, when the Packers took the field, I would cheer. They were my team.

My mom died a Packer Backer. Today, my only interest in football comes in the form of Google giving me updates about Packer games. I have no emotional investment in their game.

The Democrats treat politics, and life, like a team sport. You never cheer for the other team; you always cheer for your team.

That’s ok, you don’t have to cheer for the other team, for my team. You do have to show respect.

When Joe Wilson called out Obama for his lies, by shouting, “You lie!” when Obama was lying, he was punished by the House for “unsportsman like behavior.”

Every Democrat at the State of the Union was disrespectful; some stepped over the line into “unsportsman like behavior”, I’m looking at the Muslim twins and Al Green, but there were more.

But what is truly and fully disgusting is the behavior of the Democrats to the country. You don’t have to cheer and clap for my team, but you should darn well stand up and show respect and pride when the USA Gold Medal Hockey team walks into the chamber. You stand up when heroes are given their awards. You stand up when asked if you support Americans or illegal aliens.

The Democrats are consumed with so much hate that they can’t show any love for our country.

Joe Biden was my president. Obama was my president. Bill Clinton was my president. Even that horrible, weak, nation- and world destroying Jimmy Carter was my president.

I still stood for our flag. I was still respectful of the office.

It was once explained to me that you salute the position, not the man. Just like the guards at the entrance to the base didn’t salute Mom or me when we drove the bus onto the base, they saluted the officer’s tag on the bumper. They were saluting Dad, even if he wasn’t in the car.

The next time there is a Democrat as president, I know I will be hearing about how I need to respect the office of the president. That I shouldn’t say disrespectful things about the person who occupies the Oval Office. And when I point out how they treated President Trump and then President Vance, they will tell me “That’s different.”
