faux patriotism is hysterical. Folks consistently trash America, its president, the nominees, foreign affairs, government, etc



The president is trashed, for his socialist, communist and borderline criminal behavior. The Presidency is not. Big difference.

Nominees are trashed for their ineptness and perceived criminality.

Foreign affairs are trashed because of the harmful nature when not good for the U.S..

Gov't is trashed, when it steers from Constitutional principles.

None of the above are anything like ill informed, ignorant people, latching onto a FALSE narrative and whose agendas are to continue to drive a racial wedge and take no part in discussing the problem. They only want to blame one race for problems. They're trashy and dishonor ALL people who have served this country honorably.

Having said that. I hope any others that feel that way continue to speak out and sit down. It's their right. And it would be great for folks to know where not to spend their dollars if they disagree.

My point is that folks are upset over the CAUSE of the protest, of which they disagree with. BLM. Many, anyways. Had they sat through the national anthem in protest of Hillary being elected, they'd be praised. Many of the people riled up don't believe in the BLM message in the first place, and are turning it into something much more.

This is something they should probably have realized and conveyed the message better. Because it certainly comes across as anti American. But in reality they are simply using a platform to send out a message that obviously isn't going to be uniformly accepted.

Much like BLM in general, the issue doesn't seem to be the message, but more of the delivery.

It's sad you actually believe that.

Several veterans have come out in support of his right to take the stand he is taking, so who are you to project how they should feel? I'm sure there are some that are offended, but not ALL of them as you claim.
