What They Oppose

Hot Air has posted a list compiled by FOX News of all the things that Democrats refused to applaud or approve in the president's speech last week to the joint session of Congress.

Even to one who watched the speech and witnessed the Democrats' behavior the list is startling. One wonders how a major party in the United States can proudly take a stand against any of the items on it, yet, by sitting on their hands as each of these was introduced by Mr. Trump, approximately half of our elected leaders implicitly registered their disapprobation.

Here's the list:
  • The capturing of an ISIS terrorist that masterminded the Abbey Gate attack
  • A young boy fighting brain cancer
  • A call to lower taxes for middle-class Americans
  • Americans joining the military in record numbers
  • Law and order
  • Taking down illegal revenge porn
  • Protecting women’s sports
  • The United States of America
  • Working together to Make America Great Again
  • Ending the harmful electric vehicle mandate
  • Cutting regulations to unleash American prosperity
  • Ending censorship and bringing back free speech
  • Ending discriminatory “diversity, equity, and inclusion”
  • Recognizing only two sexes
  • Defeating inflation
  • Unleashing American energy
  • Ending waste, fraud, and abuse in government
  • Ending taxes on tips, overtime, and seniors’ Social Security
  • Bringing manufacturing home to America
  • Securing historic investments in American chip manufacturing
  • Removing illegal alien killers, rapists, and drug dealers from our streets
  • Securing our border
  • Declaring the brutal Tren de Aragua gang as a Foreign Terrorist Organization
  • Waging war on the deadly cartels trafficking deadly drugs into our country
  • Punishing cop killers with the death penalty
  • Promoting health and wellness among Americans
  • Protecting our kids from radical gender ideology
  • Ending the sexual mutilation of America’s youth
  • The return of American Marc Fogel
  • Declaring America’s youth are perfect as God made them
  • Ending wokeness in the U.S. military
  • Restoring American shipbuilding
  • A student getting accepted to West Point
  • Improving America's defenses
  • Pursuing peace in Ukraine
It's very disappointing to think that approximately half of the nation's voters are in agreement with their representatives' repudiation of this list.
