Conservative Thought
SHAME ON YOU, DEMOCRATS
The State of the Union has become a late-night Jerry Springer rerun. Stage set, the media ready to record the most outlandish behavior and hoping for confrontations by opponents who want to enact their emotional tirades, dishonorable actions and hopefully provide publicity for their next campaign. It’s “All in the Family,” the expanded version.
Unfortunately, the State of the Union has continued to become more raucous each year. The rise in rudeness at the State of the Union and other presidential addresses appears to have started in 1975, according to POLITICO, when Democrats walked out of Pres. Ford’s address. Their actions were considered rude at that time.
In 2005, Democrats shouted “No” over and over as Pres. G.W. Bush addressed the Congress regarding pursuing changes to Medicare. He was also met with a chorus of boos. This sort of heckling was considered abnormal.
The antics of democratic congressmen/women have become more and more annoying and offensive. It wasn’t enough that the Speaker of the House, Nancy Pelosi, gave the President a sarcastic clap in 2019, then returned to doing her paperwork behind his back. (Probably looking at her latest stock purchases.) She later denied it was sarcastic.
Then in 2020 she ripped up the President’s speech (Bravely behind his back again) while many Democratic lawmakers chanted, shouted, and walked out during the speech. A guest of Pelosi, a gun control activist, was ejected for shouting out against the presentation on the Second Amendment.
In 2025, Democrats showed up with placards saying “False,” “Musk Steals,” “Save Medicaid” and others. (I guess they got the message that shouting during the speech was rude.) Congressman Al Green (D Texas) didn’t get the message and was removed for disrupting the speech. Democrats were glued to their chairs and refused to stand even for honorable events.
I had hoped that the Democrats would have learned from their last outlandish behavior. Even House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, D-N.Y., urged Democrats to "attend with silent defiance," or choose not to attend, but of course, angry and rebellious Democratic congress members can’t even respect their own leadership.
Dozens of Democratic lawmakers skipped Trump's speech, with some addressing a few hundred protesters who congregated on the National Mall for a counter-event dubbed the "People's State of the Union." The ones who attended displayed their ignorance and lack of respect for government decorum by shouting and walking out. Representative Al Green (D-Texas) was escorted from the chamber after protesting with a sign. The remaining Democrats engaged in "silent defiance."
I know that I wrote on the same issues the last State of the Union address, but I still can’t get over how Democrats don’t even honor their own country’s traditions. Yes, some Republicans have stooped to the Democrats’ level, but doesn’t anyone care about how this makes our country look? Have we become heathens and barbarians? We look more and more uncivilized.
Our country is divided between light and dark; Christ vs Anti-Christ; right and left; Christ lovers and church goers/non-believers. We are in a battle between the dark angry world and the Kingdom of Heaven. Every day we fight to uphold Christian principles against a rebellious world.
We are teaching our children to respect parents, teachers, police and firefighters, the elderly and people in authority, but some children of our country are growing up and becoming rude, self-serving, flag burning, terrorists, and vandals with no love for country or its citizens. We have organizations like Antifa and Black Lives Matter running our cities. Why have socialism, sharia law, and perversion become our accepted moral standards?
Why? Because some of us have chosen to live by the WORD and others haven’t. “Everyone must submit to governing authorities. For all authority comes from God, and those in positions of authority have been placed there by God.”1 These people can’t submit because they don’t or won’t obey God’s WORD.
Democrats are quick to call our President every vile name they can think of, but don’t know, “Remind the believers to submit to the government and its officers. They should be obedient, always ready to do what is good. They must not slander anyone and must avoid quarreling. Instead, they should be gentle and show true humility to everyone.”2
Yes, there are many laws of the land that we may not believe, such as abortion, child trafficking, prostitution, homosexuality, sex changes, pornography, gun control, and too much government control and spending but, we should still honor our government, flag, monuments and honorable leaders because “Render therefore to all their due: taxes to whom taxes are due, customs to whom customs, fear to whom fear, honor to whom honor.”3
I guess I just keep coming back to my Conservative thoughts. I hope that parents that are teaching their children conservative values will know that they are appreciated. Keep it up! People that walk out their conservative upbringing, keep making a stand! Honor, respect, love and forgiveness are Biblical principles that should be displayed in the midst of chaos.
These unruly Democrats should be reined in, but people that vote for these Democrats must approve of their actions, otherwise they would vote them out of office. If left unchecked these congressmen/women will continue to dishonor our governmental institutions and throw temper tantrums like spoiled brats. Maybe it is too late to expect people to vote for the right people not for the right political party.
Democrats, far left, progressives, socialists you might be working for a democratic eutopia, but conservatives know that without God given values and morality, national pride and civility, and truth and integrity, our country will not remain the beacon of freedom and prosperity to the world that He desires.

With all this going for us, my dear, dear friends, stand your ground. And don’t hold back. Throw yourselves into the work of the Master, confident that nothing you do for him is a waste of time or effort.
