Last night, I sat and watched the State of the Union address, like so many other Americans. I was fully prepared to really listen to what was said, without bias or partisanship, and take things on face value.
What I heard, was an accomplished and (rightfully) proud President detailing what he has achieved, what he hopes to get done, and reaching out to the other side to work together. He didn't name-call, he didn't accuse anyone of fake news or lying, and he didn't (as the Democrats accused) bully anyone.
It was a very positive, uplifting and pro-American speech. One that most of us have wanted to hear from Washington, but haven't in nearly a decade.
I heard a lot that I truly liked, but it was what wasn't said that really grabbed my attention and stood out last night...
Each time our President spoke of anything that was positive or helpful to the American people, the cameras cut to Democrats sitting during a standing ovation and refusing to applaud. Most looked as though they had been told to eat their broccoli before doing their algebra homework.
Even when Trump announced that the unemployment rate was the lowest in history for Blacks and Hispanics, the Congressional Black Caucus sat stone faced and still. Really? They can't even be happy that the people they claim to represent are doing better than ever before?
Or, how about when Trump announced that Apple (an openly anti-Trump company) is investing $250 billion in America, and hiring thousands due to his tax cuts? Nancy Pelosi just sat there looking lime she just sucked a lemon, while sniffing an old sweat sock.
They couldn't even stand when he pointed out that the Capital building was a symbol (and belonged to) the American people.
I'm not a Republican. I'm one of those Independents they love to say is slipping away from the GOP side.
But, after last night, if there was any doubt in my mind that the Democrats are anti-American, and trying to destroy our nation... it's all gone now.
