News commentators, pundits, columnists, and politicians are lamenting what they see as a lack of ci- vility in the national discourse concerning issues of impor- tance. Some, however, are laying this lacuna on the fact one political party has no power within the halls of government, namely the Democratic Party. That position was made eminently clear by former Demo- cratic candidate for President Hillary Rodham Clinton, who stated flatly civility will return only when Democrats return to some type of power. After all, she averred, the party in power is attempting to “destroy” everything her side be- lieves. Unfortunately, this downward trend toward a lack of hear- ing the other side began a decade ago, and got progressively worse during the Obama years. Let us take you back to the campaign of 2008 and what transpired after it. Barack Hussein Obama became the darling of mainstream media, and the horse upon which the party leadership de- cided to ride to victory. Due to his skin color, any attempt to discredit his position on issues was immediately disparaged as a racial slur. This disparagement, you will recall, was hurled at former President Bill Clinton. Clinton made a rather prosaic criti- cism of Obama’s positions, and was called a “racist.” This to a man who was once hailed as the nations “first black presi- dent.” The situation gelded the Clinton campaign and did the same to John McCain. His criticisms of Obama’s positions on anywhere from immigration to foreign policy were reduced to boiler plate talking points. Still, the charge of racism fol- The left bares its incivility lowed McCain through the rest of the campaign, with the ap- proval of the mainstream media.

Rams, face Gaels The West Haven football has three losses on the season, two of those coming by a combined two yards. The Westies first loss of the season came at the hands of the North Haven Indians, when the Blue Devils were stopped inches from the goal line in a 20-19 loss. On Friday night at Ken Strong Stadium, the Westies were stopped a yard short of the endzone as time expired in a 21-14 loss to the Cheshire Rams. The Rams drew first blood when they capped their opening possession with a 1-yard touchdown run for a 7-0 lead with 6:59 left in the first quarter. The Westies responded with a drive of their own and after Juan Gutierrez plunged over the top from a yard out the boys were on the board with 58 seconds left in the quarter. A missed extra point left the Westies behind 7-6 head- ing into the second quarter. Cheshire mounted another drive and increased its lead to 14-6 on a 27-yard TD run 52 seconds into the second quarter. The Blue Devils were able to respond again with a drive capped by a Jordan Berrios 1-yard touchdown run. Jaden Grant ran in the 2-point conversion to even the game 14-14 with 1:55 left in the half. The Rams struck for a 42-yard touchdown run to take a 21-14 with 5:19 left in the third quarter. The Westies were driving but were forced to turn over the ball on downs with three minutes left in the game. A huge defensive stand by the Blue Devils’ de- fense allowed West Haven to get the ball back with under two minutes remaining. Jordan Berrios hit both Jaden Grant and Demerick Blackford with passes to get the Westies down to the Rams’ 4-yard line. The Blue Devils pounded the ball down to the 1-yard line but on fourth down, Jordan Berrios was stopped before reaching the endzone as time expired, sending the Rams into a frenzied celebration on a 21-14 victory. Things don’t get any easier for the Westies when they travel to Shelton on Friday for a matchup with the undefeated Gaels at 7. The boys soccer team began its week with a 4-2 victory over the Sheehan Titans at Ken Strong Stadium on Monday night. The Blue Devils took a 1-0 lead on a goal by Matt Ffrench 8:33 into the game, when he chipped the ball over the Titans’ keeper and into the goal. Nash Noble kept the score 1-0 when he made Photo by Russ McCreven a spectacular, diving save that ricocheted off the crossbar with 15:50 left in the half.
