The Dems must have worked extremely hard to form anger-faces, then got huge injections of Botox wherein even high points-of biparti- san successes did not vary their Zom— bie mugs of hatred. Land of the dead, the left side of the aisle, dressed in their whites of protest, scowling at even issues they themselves embrace, their oath of group hatred for this president would have been laughable had it not been so disgraceful. Pelosi sucking her teeth, scowling for every standing ovation, and the Dems Velcroed to their seats, proved the single-minded- ness of petulant children. Oh, there will be hews and cries that every “T” wasn’t crossed and every ”I” wasn’t dotted in facts, and much said about not shaking the hand of the woman who said she has “wanted to impeach him for 21/2 years” and lying about holding an impeach- ment hearing only if it is bipartisan, r but you could not deny the dedicated spirit of a president who loves and is fighting for America. ' If Dems don’t like the president, at ' least they should have the maturity to respect the office they hold and the historical event of a State of the Union tradition. At the culmination of an optimistic outpouring from our president, the Speaker of the House Pelosi disgraced herself and her of- fice by standing behind the president, taking her copy of his speech, making a very visual point ripping page by page. Three and a half years of hatred for this man is like a cancer spreading throughout our country that derails any partisan success for the American people. _ . I have never been so ashamed of the infantile actions of half this legis- lative body of our government. Do you really want people like this to gov- ern our country? I pray to God this honor will not befall the Democrat Party until they all respect theroffice they hold and work for the American people and with the sitting president. ' God bless America; she needs it. Katie Groves Shelton R-oundabouts make hospital tough to locate Editor, the Journal Recently, and unfortunately, I had the exasperating experience of trying to find the hospital in Gig Harbor to visit my wife who was in the hospital. Before leaving home in Grapeview, I set my GPS entering the address. The GPS urged me to exit the freeway at the first exit after entering the free- way from Purdy. At that exit there was a large blue sign with a large “H.” “Aha,” I thought this will be easy. Wrong. My GPS tried to guide me as I entered the first of three roundabouts ‘I would encounter. Since there were no more blue hospitalsigns, I was now totally dependent upon my GPS - unit. I apparently missed one ap- propriate exit from the circle, so GPS took me down to the waterfront and back. About this time the GPS lady went into a deep pout and refused to communicate with me. She eventually got over it and led me to the round- abouts again. She shot me out of my sixth roundabout of the trip onto a road that took me to the hospital, which is well hidden in the woods north of Gig Harbor. My question, if you are going to build a hospital where nobody can find it and then complicate the process further by installing three roundabouts between the freeway and the hospital, why not install blue hospital signs at every juncture along the way? Fortunately, no emergency was involved or I would have been a goner.
