We are often inspired when someone takes a principled stand for a cause they truly believe in. This is especially true when some sort of personal sacrifice is involved. Even if you’re not entirely sympathetic toward the cause, the act itself can still be inspiring especially if there’s a sense of humility present.
On the other hand, there are those who commit acts of self-sacrifice who are rightly despised. The fanatical suicide bombers to which so many nations have been subjected remain despicable in spite of their willingness to lose their lives in their cause. It’s that their self-sacrificial acts result in murder that they should be condemned.
Then we have another variety of those claiming to take a principled stand for a noble cause. These would be politicians who are simply engaging in political posturing and grandstanding in order to draw attention to themselves. Self-sacrifice is certainly not involved, and is often replaced with hypocrisy. More on page two.

How am I ever going to get through this day without these idiots attending the inauguration. That’s it! I am not going. It will be a very dull day if these morons don’t show up. Even Obie is going with his chick…..
Disgrace
I must compliment Rep. Elijah Cummins for deciding to attend. Thank you for putting country above party.
He normally is painfully a party man, so in this he sets a positive model for his party members.
i wish they would all lose the next election… but they wont …. its the blind leading the blind
time to vote these assholes out of office but most people are stupit and just vote for a party
This is Bulls hit! The Democrats also boycotted Lincolns inauguration. Sound familiar? Bunch of idiots
Bastards
Since when does a congressman have principles. Theiving scum.
I can’t email each of them because their websites seem to require a zip code and I’m in Canada, but I’m going through the list and posting on each of their Facebook pages. I’m in Canada but I have American roots on my mother’s side and she’d be aghast at a stunt like this if she were still alive. It’s deeply disrespectful to the democratic voters and the people that voted for Trump.
So now we know in two years if they’re coming up who 2 bolt out of office thank you
