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.

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."

There is change in the air... But the Republicans are SO INEPT Locally it's horrifying.

Right now in the 2 largest counties near me, the REC are literally dousing themselves with gasoline in their excitement to find a SPARK in 2018 mid-terms... Which will blow themselves up.

I feel one of the challenges we face is that NOBODY is knocking on doors, and connecting to people. EVERY person who changed from DEM to NPA in FL should be visited by a republican asking for their vote and their help to right this ship.

But internal political in-fighting, and people who are in it for the Prestige are the norm. Nobody wants to do the hard work. (and I get it. The left is willing to LIE when they talk to someone. The Republicans are stuck with values. We can't say "Hey, vote for us, and we will make sure you get YOUR FAIR SHARE!") We have a marketing problem, and a motivation problem right now.

Finally, Independents will choose the winners. And we are not making sure they know they must vote.

The SOTU was AWESOME. The State of the Future 2018 Mid-Term Elections REQUIRES us to show up, and get ALL of our neighbors to vote!

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.

Trump's State of the Union speech was superbly crafted, orchestrated, timed and delivered for maximum emotional impact, basically an infomercial in simple language that any fifth-grader could understand.

Carefully selected wording and opportunistically selected "heroes" paraded at key points kept his team rising and applauding after nearly every sentence while the Dems' butts stayed glued to their seats. Well, no, twice they did have to get up, when their patriotism was on the line about flags and anthems, and when Trump gestured them onto their feet with the bone he threw them for the 1.8 million aliens to be given citizenship, albeit in 12 years. A great showman performance, something Trump has trained for his whole life.

Note also the subtle way in which he slipped in seeds for future policies that will put the American people under ever more controls, and pinned them in with "faith and family" memes. His side applauded wildly, blinded by the gleam of all the extra money they will get and by the power that Christians will gain. He also elegantly reassured Israel of America's total support, even if other formerly friendly countries would have their financial support curtailed. As Spock would say, -- "Fascinating."

Trump has risen above himself. Much like Harry Truman he became more than advertised. The actions of the Democrats made them look worse than foolish. Is there a word for foolish and stupid? Some were actually playing games on their phones. What a bunch of $#@!@#$!!

Dimocrat Losers showing the petulance of 4-year olds

Love your suggestions as to what to do. We do boycott certain recording 'artists" and definitely skip movies with liberals hags on top of the billing. I don't even watch network TV, if they start on political anti-Trumps rants - as was the case on the only "Will and Grace" redo I sampled.Who needs to watch or listen to stupid people. Cher? That has been is dumb as they come. I have started looking up artists who seem stupid, to see how educated they are not, like Carly Simon, who could not quite handle the stress of even year of college.Rappers are poorly educated, and ignorant, esp. about black history.Save us all from Maxine Waters and Pelosi, who seems to be getting senile.

My favorite SOTU observation was seeing Pelosi very unhappily chewing. In Gestalt Therapy, the therapist often has a psychologically damaged patient "chew" on their hostility and resentment until they're almost literally sick of chewing and are willing to puke it out. It was wonderful seeing Pelosi getting this therapy during Trump's SOTU.
Chew, chew, chew, Democrats, then chew some more, until chewing makes you sick.
