I am appalled!

I am appalled at the liberal response to this election. It is bad enough that the news media is doing everything they can to de-legitimize the new administration even before it has taken office.

On Friday night vice-president elect Mike Pence attended a performance of Hamilton on Broadway. At the end of the performance one of the actors singled him out and read a prepared statement - a political statement - from the stage to him. It was at least a fairly respectful statement, but it was unbelievably rude to do that to anyone, whether you agree with them or not.

If that actor had gone to a restaurant and at the end of the meal the chef had come out and singled him out among the customers and read a prepared political statement to him in front of everyone in the restaurant he would have been outraged - and correctly so. Why does anyone think it is OK for an actor to do this from the stage in a public performance?

Have common decency and manners completely disappeared in our society?
