Why Didn't Democrats Stand - Or Even Clap - For This SOTU Line?
2018-01-31
[Townhall] It's typical for lawmakers to resist clapping during the president's annual State of the Union address when he mentions policies they oppose. But, when the president touches on issues that are clearly bipartisan, both sides of the aisle usually acknowledge it with at least a golf clap. For instance, supporting our military, investing in infrastructure, combating the opioid crisis, and a budding economy can typically be considered bipartisan issues.

Well, the Democrats did stand for some of those things during President Trump's first State of the Union speech, but when it came to the following line, some of these lawmakers, particularly members of the Congressional Black Caucus, remained seated.

#8  "National borders were a short hand way of distinguishing between sense and nonsense (or worse) in foreign cultures, countries, and tribes. They allowed the native to be indifferent to foreign ideas and ways if they so chose. They did not have to waste a minute of their time trying to make a fair assessment of, say, Islamic culture, and try to square the circle of how people of completely foreign and reprehensible cultures could be integrated into their own society. Say whu? Who says it's a borderless world and diversity is mankind's destiny? "

#5  I too believe in a 'two party system' unless of course, the other is the communist party.

#4  Because the mask is off. They only follow the rituals so as not to show that they believe in one party rule. True Leftists.

#3  ...The Narrative demands that they not acknowledge the truth under any possible circumstances, because to do so might suggest that the voters are actually better off than they've been told they are. And if the voters ever figure that off, well then....
