Just in case you don't realize how far the Democrat party has fallen. From JFK "ask not what your country can do for you, but what you can do for your country" to Joe Kennedy's radical leftist Bernie style communist speech...seriously...why not just rename the party to the American Communist party because that's what it is.
It's funny. If JFK ran for the presidency he would probably be considered an Alt-right conservative by the left. I remember as a kid learning about communism, and how utterly shitty it was. I guess it's being taught as a viable option in school today?
JFK was a decorated veteran and a lifelong NRA member. He tried to overthrow Fidel Castro. The modern Democrat party adores Fidel Castro and Communism. They hate the NRA. To your comment about schools, we just heard the video from the classroom in California where a teacher bullied a kid about the military and told everyone it was for stupid, uneducated failures only. That teacher was a Democrat and a former politician. So yeah, JFK's service and what he fought for is now considered right wing. fuck. the. democrat. party.
My parents are JFK Democrats - their brains are spinning right now at the state of things. Communism has never worked, it will never work. Ask the people beating cows to death, and tearing them apart in Venezuela because they are starving. Communism always ends in starvation and civil unrest. When will they figure that out?
After they have take all the can from the American People...it was a slippery slope and they are in a full slide.
They won't. On paper communism fucks the evil rich and gives it to everyone, that's all they care about. They want a system that's "fair" even though they have no idea what "fair" means. I will also never understand a persons need or want to have more government influence over their life.
Someone should remind Joe Kennedy, while he chastises conservative values, that his great Uncle Ted wrecked a car and left a young lady to die alone. Rational sane people call this vehicular homicide but not liberals, they championed good old Teddy for woman’s rights of all things. The dude killed a woman then lied about it. His whole family was full of misogynists. If he was a republican, he would be vilified as, Out of touch 1%er, White privileged, Silver spoon fed, private schooled, living in a gated community lifestyle racist. Liberalism truly is a brain disease.
He's being prepped for the future, no other reason than that to have him give the speech. See if the Kennedy name along with decent looks can still pull the numbers while they pre Chelsea more.
I didn't bother watching the response because they're all ridiculous. Let's not pretend Michelle Bachman or Ted Cruz tore it up on the rebuttal in the past either. NPR mentioned this morning that it goes back to the early 60's when it was first broadcast in primetime - because it would be "unfair" for one party to have that much airtime. It's disappointing to me that neither party can just let the State of the Union be what it is - the President addressing congress with his (some day her) vision for the coming year.
We fought wars against socialism and the current generation of Dems is inviting them in the front door.
Originally it was just a report to Congress from the President and was not an occasion. Now it's just more circus.
You noticed that shit too. I'm like WTF is that, did he just get done blowing some guy backstage before coming out to the podium?
They have to. They have nothing to run on in ‘18. If the Republicans get off their ass and get DACA out of the way. They really won’t have anything to run on. Dems will fight this all the way to mid-terms because they need it. They are running out of slaves to exploit thanks to Trump and his policies. If you have half a brain, you wouldn’t call yourself a Democrat in this day and age. 76% of “independents” approved of the STOU AND 46% Dems. Dems, please keep on doing what you’re doing. Sincerely, America
