Well, the "left" has been the party of Soviet Russia, Communist China and Radical Islam for decades.

Yea agreed. If you let protestors or a group of folks kneeling during the anthem rile you up, you’re a snowflake.

This is going to end well. There is no way you can possibly justify robbing stores and looting as an act of grievance. What if these groups of looters go and start just raping women, but they claim its in the name of George Floyd..... will that be ok?

I'm just a social weatherman reading the Barometer of Society

When peaceful protest gets rejected by the majority group because the idiot Prez got his idiot base amped up and foaming at the mouth based on lies & misinformation (direspecting the Anthem), then the next time there's an issue of Police brutality, don't be surprised that a percentage of those that are angry at a senseless murder won't tell themselves, "peaceful protests don't resonate with the majority group, we have to do more", and in this care "more" is wayyyy too much

I'm not for any of this shyt, but I pay attention to the World we live in to understand why it is happening

Answer this question, where is Dana Loesch(sp?) and all the pro-2A folks to defend the EMT murdered by Cops in Louisville and her arrested BF, on a no-Knock warrant in the middle of the night where the Cops likely went to the wrong address, why aren't the 2A folks rallying around these folks, doesn't the 2A apply to all Americans?

Thought so!



Youre digging way deeper into this than i am trying to, this has nothing to do with the president, Kaep, the national anthem or the 2nd ammenment to me. Are those things that are intertwined into this whole mess? Ofcourse. All im saying is that peaceful protesters still exist and are out there and im sure theyre livid. Some of these looters have found an unfortunate story to link criminal behavior to. It really sucks for the ones trying to do the right thing. If a wild, angry, hyped up group of people come and break the window out to my home and start trying to come in, any person that does happen to own a gun will do EVERYTHING in their power to protect their families, i would hope atleast. In that large group of people, some will probably be black. Then a white guy just killed another black guy. Are we just going to keep rinsing and repeating? What happens next? How does this end?

Are you trying to perform some sort of mental gymnastics here and making the inference that the left is more patriotic than the right? Or even patriotic at all?

I would think you not to be a hater of draft dodgers. Are you going to teach us all about what real patriotism is?

Protesting, rioting and looting is my guess, then compare it to the Boston Tea Party. We have seen this all before.

Neither side is "patriotic".

Patriotism:
quote:

the quality of being patriotic; devotion to and vigorous support for one's country.


Both sides are not really in support of their country, just themselves. A patriot doesn't whine about having to wear a mask, and act oppressed because because a local business asks people politely to wear one before coming in. A patriot doesn't destroy small businesses and people's homes because of injustices suffered from other groups. A patriot doesn't tell people they cannot protest peacefully or launch gas at peaceful protesters and a patriot doesn't protest violently towards those that afforded them no violence.

Today we are flooded with the sense that waving a flag around, or screaming at a person who disagrees with you, is "patriotic". It's not. It's no "more" or "less" patriotic to ignore the plight of others.

Patriotism is a false narrative these days, trumpeted by groups who don't do anything even remotely patriotic.

Is this really the new narrative?

Sorry,I've seen multiple peaceful protests that refused to disperse at the given time before a time or a curfew to dismiss.Are you really implying there's a clear deleniation between between the peaceful and non peaceful protests?

Hint:There isn't

No it really isn't. The left has an amazing way with words and tremendous ability to create gray area where there is none. Conservatives are patriotic and liberals are for anything that pisses them off. They are antagonists, and that is pretty much it. They used to make good music, but not anymore.

It's so funny how the left is against stereotyping unless they are doing it.

The definition of patriot according to skyscreamer, someone who doesn't mind wearing a mask.

I don't understand why the national anthem has to be played before every sporting event. What does sports and patriotism have to do with each other?

First off, Kaap started this under Obama's presidency, so Trump had nothing to do with it. Don't get me wrong, I am a conservative and a republican. Trump has hijacked the party though. Any true conservative should be mad as hell right now with the party. Trump took a rising economy and did make it better, but at the same time managed to raise the yearly deficit to over a trillion dollars, even before the Corona shite. It's total bullshite.

With regards to Kap, his message was just too broad. He lumped military families and every proud American into one group. I guess in hindsight he was probably right. Most Americans love our country and don't like seeing the flag burned or people kneeling during the anthem, but when you really think about it, it's the correct way to protest. It's peaceful even though disrespectful. It was meant to grab people's attention and did that in so many ways.

The message just gets lost when you lump good police officers in with these bad ones. They shouldnt protest police, they should protest bad police, corrupt police.

This country is gonna kill itself with this political struggle day in and day out. I hope there are people like myself that can see the wrong and right things about their political party and try to change their own party instead of just going with the party lines. I'm torn right now because I will not be voting for Donald Trump this time. He has done well for the economy, but that's where it ends. I cannot vote for Biden either because the ideas of the left are just to damaging to the country. I want the republican party to get back to a platform of fiscal responsibility and for family values. Something Trump knows nothing about.

hat's what the US Sports fans get

Kaep kneeled and was peaceful in his protest of Police Brutality, and the idiot simpleton segment of the Sports Fan Universe allowed an idiot Prez to hijack the message and LIE and make it about the Flag & our Military

Basically, a guy that practiced peaceful protest got fired from his Job and blackballed from his Industry, after seeing how Kaep was treated for practicing peaceful protest, the protesters associated with this injustice are saying to themselves, "after the way y'all treated Kaep y'all gonna wish for the days when Blacks folks kneeled to protest injustices"

All you anti Kaep azzholes following Trumpf are getting what you deserve


I have no issue with him protesting, but what he was protesting is nonsense. There is NO evidence for racial bias behind behind the killings of Blacks by cops. LINK LINK LINK / Had he protested let's say, war, then it would have made more sense.

The virtue signalling is agreeing to the anti White narrative. I dare you to rebut the facts I presented.

You are correct that he is no conservative, but neither are virtually all of the GOP hacks in the Congress. W ran up huge deficits, and when has the GOP establishment ever called for cuts to the bloated Pentagon budget?

And what have conservatives conserved? Trump is a response to the failures of both parties to work for the common man and put America first.

There ARE injustices, but the racialization needs to stop. There is zero empirical evidence for racism being behind the killings of Blacks by cops. LINK LINK /

Police brutality IS a huge problem, but it crosses racial lines. We are all Palestinians now, thanks to our cops being trained by Israelis.

Dude got fired from his job because he sucks at football. He got beat out by Blaine Gabbert. He didn’t get rehired because a lot of people myself included didn’t like his pig sock and Castro wearing arse making statements at his place of employment. Thousands of people threatened to give up their season tickets, myself included, if he was signed by their team. It was a business decision and Kaep lost.....

Nathan Peterman says Hi

I could go on for a long time listing shytty QBs that get backup jobs in the NFL with a much lesser resume than Kaep had at the time he was blackballed
