You’d think adults could conduct themselves like, well, adults. Yet, when those adults are liberal Democrats, you’d be better off dealing with a teenage girl (no offense to teenage girls). They have no ability to think rationally, believe incredibly stupid and obviously false things, engage in double standards, cry like they just got dumped for the first time, and pursue petty vengeance against anyone who disagrees with them like a jilted lover. Actually, teenage girls are more rational than Democrats, and Republicans need to not only remember what they do but give them a giant dose of it right back. Hold them to their own standards.
Everything from the lying to the pettiness, these people truly are awful. Trump broke them, but they had to have had this in them in the first place. Never forget that.
Those people at family gatherings who can’t stand your existence, the people who know who don’t show up to weddings, funerals, memorials or holidays are not busy – decent people prioritize the personally important over the political. Democrats can’t.
What Democrats tried to do to Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth is a prime example. It’s one thing if they think he’s not qualified and make that case, but they tried to destroy him personally. I’m not his biographer, nor do I particularly care about his past, but he has been open about infidelity and how he found God and changed. If his behavior was after that time, they’d have a case. But it wasn’t; it had been unambiguous before.
If there is no forgiveness for past failings, there is no point to…anything. There would be no grace, no growth. Maybe that’s how the left feels – it would explain a lot about how they are – but normal people aren’t stuck on stupid; they grow.
Democrats tried to humiliate Hegseth for no other purpose than to humiliate him and his family. Disgusting is the only word that comes to mind. They couldn’t challenge him on the issues facing the Pentagon, so they went for the personal.
Honestly, it’s a testament to Pete’s character that he didn’t even seem tempted to try to claim any of his behavior, real or imagined by Democrats, had anything to do with post-traumatic stress. Three combat tours and what can only be imagined that goes along with that would impact and change anyone. Never once did he even imply it; he simply took the abuse and smears while remaining focused on his goal – which is what a good soldier does.

Every nominee to President Trump’s Cabinet who’s had a hearing should have had a vote already. Still, they don’t because Democrats decided to “run the clock” by refusing to waive the 30 hours of floor debate each nominee can be subjected to. This isn’t new; they’ve done it before. However, the outcome is already known, and many Democrats will vote for them. The only reason to do this is to be petty.
The longer the Justice Department goes without a confirmed Attorney General makes no difference; it’s simply an annoyance. It’s the equivalent of what you’d expect from your brat sibling in the back seat of the family truckster as they repeat everything you say in a mocking tone; it should not be something adults elected to the United States Senate.
But the title does not dictate behavior; politics does. Suppose the country has to go without a complete government in place; to hell with it. The partisan Gods must be fed.
Don’t let Democrats off the hook on anything in the future. Every moral failure, no matter how long ago, needs to be explored thoroughly and in public. Suppose spouses or children are humiliated in the process, oh well. If entire departments of our government have to sit without leadership and something horrible happens, let that be on them.
Beyond that, they should be treated according to the type of behavior they offer conservatives. Conservatives don’t generally lie about liberals because the truth of them is bad enough – Joe Biden’s senility, anyone? But if they’re going to stick with proven lies till the day they die, why should we not at least repeat unproven rumors?
If they want to play politics with spouses and children who’ve done nothing wrong, then Nancy Pelosi’s husband using her insider knowledge to trade stocks and out-perform the market should not only be a talking point, it should be the subject of advertisement on television. If a Republican’s family is fair game for humiliation for its own sake, then every drug bust or arrest for violent storming of a state capitol is up for grabs, too. Looking at you, Tim Kaine.
Bludgeon them with it constantly. Reduce them to their mistakes and their worst days only. Do you think they’d show you or your family any grace or understanding? Hell no.
They created this medicine, give them massive doses of it until they overdose or beg for mercy, and then only consider letting up. Make them hate being on the business end of their tactics as much as they hate anyone who won’t conform with what they deem acceptable thought, then make them hate it even more. Hitler never really had to live under the boot of fascism; don’t let this iteration of progressives get away with that again.
