For all of you who have almost given up on the primacy of reason in the realm of democratic debate, there is hope. In Virginia, reason is no longer a voice crying out in the wilderness. It is standing front and center on the political stage.
Republican Nicholas J. Freitas has been a member of the Virginia House of Delegates since 2015. After the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks, he became a Green Beret in the U.S. Army Special Forces. He served two tours in Iraq. He is a living, breathing hero, and he’s not done fighting for the American people. Unlike the Green Berets, who are trained in unconventional warfare and often work behind enemy lines, this time Freitas is battling in plain sight and using direct means — reason.
Freitas has grown tired of politicians acting like kindergartners on a playground. Haven’t we all? He’s sick of being called names by political opponents. Nick Freitas is not taking it anymore.
When asked if he was going to be “nice” during a recent session of the House of Delegates, Freitas took pause. In a point of personal privilege, Freitas said he didn’t think of himself as “un-nice” but understood how others might seem him that way at times. I imagine, for Democrats, this was one of those times. If there is anything a leftist politician can’t stand, it is facing the truth point-blank.
Freitas continued, “I’ve never gone on this floor and I’ve challenged the faith of an elected official because I disagreed with them on policy.” He went on to say that he had never called an elected official on the other side of the aisle a racist, sexist or bigot because they didn’t agree with him on a particular policy.
Finally. A Republican with ba—- Good for him. Maybe some more will start to stand up to these liberal Democrat A holes
