Demanding that these proven uncivil assholes be treated with civility

is tantamount to demanding Democrats bring kid gloves to a gunfight.

They’re killing our planet people! But that will take some time, so meantime they’re killing our government, our standing in the world and definitely our Constitution!

Really?! Let’s be civil? When can we get angry? They’re already way beyond uncivil to us, the immigrant babies, to Muslims, to NFL players who, by the way, have been quite civil in their protest in case no one has noticed. They have responded to Trump calling them sons of bitches in front of the entire world with calm civility. Has anyone noticed? But we can rest assured the Trumpites would be screeching their pointy little heads off if a single Black football player were to respond angrily!

If a Democrat, like Maxine Water who has been publicly insulted in the racist terms of low intelligence by Trump decides being uncivil is a response I support her 100%. I stand by her and I am angry with her.

Any civility on my part would be thrown out the window. Big time.

Do the Democratic civility police really think I should just ask for my child to be returned nicely?

Frankly I’ve spent a lifetime being told how a lady should act. Yet, the only times I ever managed to get what I needed were when I stopped asking and started fighting back and demanding. Funny how that works.

I say let the people who think their rights are not important enough to fight for be civil. They must not think they’re worth keeping anyway.

I’m sure at the time there were many who did. But if we hadn’t we would still be a colony, singing Long Live The Queen.
