To the editor:

I am constantly amused at the frantic postulations and hate-filled rhetoric used by the democrats in bashing anything, and everything, that they don't approve of and especially if endorsed by republicans.  It would appear that the democrats have forgotten entirely the basics of bilateral cooperation, diplomacy and common decency in daily encounters. A prime example of their ineptitude was the recent embarrassing spectacle of three self-serving and grandstanding democrat house members who joined the protesting mob in the gallery of the state capital while a lawful and duly opened general session was ongoing using bull horns to be sure the public was privy to their grammar school antics and then after expulsion brashly lied about the whole affair stating it was their "constitutional right" to do so. What constitution? Not the federal constitution that our Founding Fathers implemented nor the Tennessee constitution addressing the behavior of its General Assembly members regardless of party affiliation.  Not only did these scoff laws break the rules of orderly state business but interrupted a General Assembly session that we voters pay for and expect to be conducted by our respective representatives. By virtue of the Tennessee State constitution, Article II Section 12, each house may punish it members for "disorderly behavior" and I would I expect that even the democrats could see that three of their fellow members were guilty of disorderly behavior in the truest sense during a lawful session of the General Assembly.

   In the democrat's negative eyes, the whole of the current concerns of various government issues such as inflation, housing market, downgraded in international issues, outlandish fuel prices and their favorite darling, oh woe unto us! the climate changes that will result in the world melting down in a short number of years. All of which in their perception are based solely on the incompetence and ignorance of the republicans. Not only are the democrats endowed with an abundance of ignorance on most issues, but they likewise have the vast majority of the liberal media beckoning to their siren's call. There is, however, a light at the end of this dismal tunnel for the democrats if they are smart enough to take advantage; which is strongly in doubt, that being our electoral system that has in essence been in existence for some 235 years in our Great Republic. America's electoral system is the best in any world political environment and even permits an unstable, mental incapacitated, feeble, and dotting octogenarian to be elected as President, and God help us, to run for reelection; that is if he can remember where the white house is located.  I would present this solution to all the ultra-liberal democrat whiners; stop wringing your hands and crying copious doomsday tears and turn out on election day, and send those republican rascals home! That simple and that easy, but obvious democrats instead of voting would rather preach their never-ending debasement of America and hope all republicans will fade into the sunset and be consumed in the climate change generated by fossil fuels as they themselves freeze to death when their precious wind turbines fail to turn and Hunter Biden is selected ambassador to China.
