Really? ever hear the phrases "sticks and stones can break my bones but words can never harm you" Of course not and of course our community agitator never used words to demonize someone else. Words aren't actions, words are just words. I hate to tell you where your head is

Your hatred, ignorance, and lack of tolerance is noted and trump all the positive results being generated.

No ignorance on my part just your demonstration of Satan worshiping with trump.
 
sweet thread title
 
Yep freedom of speech is a radical left wing view that we know you hate so much. Sorry the devil trump you worship will not be given his ego trip.

Freedom of speech isn't the problem boycotting the SOU is when you have no idea what is going to be said. The devil Trump? Rather sad to see the leftwing hysterics today which are every bit as bad if not worse than the rightwing hysterics which the left condemns.
 
What is wrong are folks clapping like trained seals or exhibiting other "look at me" behavior during this "must, from time to time, be done" non-event. IMHO, more of our congress critters should opt out or simply STFU with the assistance of the POTUS (no pauses for applause or expressing disgust).

You'll notice that the order from Article II, Section 3 of the Constitution doesn't say anything about a speech; the President just has to keep Congress informed of what's going on in the country. When Thomas Jefferson took office in 1801, he decided that the idea of showing up before Congress to deliver a grand address sounded like something a monarch would do, so he decided to bag the speech. Instead, he wrote down an annual message and sent it to Congress, where a clerk read it aloud to the assembled legislators.

Hate is a radical trait regardless of whether right or left. Boycotting the SOU is a radical behavior showing lack of interest and total intolerance or willingness to listen

You do realize that the SOU is televised nationwide and that you don't have to be physically in earshot of Trump to hear what he said, right? Are you saying Democratic politicians won't watch it on TV or read the transcript?

I have heard that was the case that it was televised but thanks for confirming that reality. We certainly don't want our Congressional leaders in attendance for any SOU, right? Think that is why the Democrats are boycotting the SOU because it is on TV?

You tried to paint it as if it was super important information they can only get in person. It's not. Tolerance does not mean everyone has to listen to you run your mouth.
 
somebody please explain what the elected representatives will accomplish by not attending the state of the union address


unless something will be achieved then it is a hollow measure


how can we criticize citizens who do not bother to show up at the polls to vote if our elected officials who are paid to represent us do not bother to show up at this national address


but tell me something effective which is expected to be achieved by the non-attendance and i am open to changing my mind

I feel about Trump’s speeches as the Honorable Vice President felt about slums!

“Heard one, heard them all.”

The message being sent by these radicals is the issue as is the hatred being promoted. Partisanship is alive and well as is the hatred for this President
 
OMFG you mean the Dems are protesting a radical right unprofessional president? Omg the horrrrror, looks like trump supporters need to have their diapers changed with all this whining.

How do these snowflake trumpers refreeze themselves fast enough such that they're always ready to melt again? There are a few on this board who seem like they are virtually always melting...:inandout:

Maybe the people they are representing them would like their representative to express their (the constituent's) disapproval of Trump by not showing up?

Or, maybe they could show up and yell, "YOU LIE!".

I don't plan to watch or listen. I can't even stand Trump's voice anymore. I bet Melania is sick of it, too. LOL...
 
I love people who act on prinicple. It's nothing you or any faux-conservative would ever understand.

What principles? Do you understand leadership at all? This is nothing but total and complete hatred based upon ignorance but then again that describes today's radical Democratic . Today's Democratic Party has no principles
 
They should go and shout "You lie" because apparently that's acceptable to Cons.

At least they have the guts to show up and listen then respond, not ignore but still respond

I'd rather have them not go than make a spectacle of themselves. Apparently, you feel differently.
 
What principles?

The principle of not honoring a corrupt, divisive, cataclysmically incompenent pathological liar who is currently POTUS with their presence.
Do you understand leadership at all?

Yes, I do. Why don't you?

No, it's not, but I'm not at all surprised you'd have to lie to yourself to convince yourself that it is.

Have someone explain 'principle' to you.

LOL, name calling is what the left does when hiding behind a computer screen while ignoring all the actual results being generated. Rather sad to see what has happened to a once great Democratic Party but you people are truly hysterical and showing your double standards. I do understand leadership and hiding behind a computer screen while ignoring actual results isn't any leadership at all

I don't lie to myself like the left does in trying to justify failed economic policies and ignoring the results generated by previous groups of leftists. that is liberal arrogance and why the left keeps losing elections. What is it about liberalism that creates people like you who are so loyal and so partisan that actual results are trumped by third party references to rhetoric? I sincerely hope you are being paid well to post this nonsense
 
Another example of how tolerant the left is when they don't get their way

Democrats ramp up efforts to boycott Trump's State of the Union address | Fox News

this is a perfect example of what is wrong in this country today, total partisan bs



Wasn't it a Republican who interrupted Obama shouting "Liar"

You can point a finger for as long as you like, but Trumpies will always have four fingers pointing back at them. For every "gotcha" the Republicans have at least as many, and lately more and more disgusting.

This calling the kettle black just reinforces how dishonest the party is and what a complete liar is your president.

And after all the bigotry and hate he's been hurling out in all directions, I wouldn't vote for anyone who stays in the room. The man's a pig and it needs to reinforced daily
 
Lol, how catastrophically ignorant does someone have to be to think the tolerance we were talking about is being forced to listen to some random asshole's speech? Do you hate freedom so much you want to force people to listen to some incoherent rambling?



With Trump's increasingly hateful behavior anyone who stays in the room should be fired. Every Democrat who sits there listening to his lies is part of the problem. Passivity in the face of this asshole is the wrong way to go.

I haven't engaged in name-called. I simple described objective reality, and that somehow frightens you.

I'm a democrat like you're a Marxist, comrade.

You're lying to yourself by pretending you're not lying to yourself.

What IS it about Marxists like you that you simply cannot be honest.

Hope your welfare and gov't assistance life is comfy.
