    Praying in the endzone wasn't called "Tebowing" and made fun of due to Tebow's QB performance.

    It's been quite a while since I heard someone thank Jesus on national television, especially in the NFL in the biggest game every year.

    I watched Rough Night instead - far better show than any football game. But then I have a bias in favor of bad girls over bad boys.

    If BLM and Antifa are protected by free speech then so is the KKK and white nationalists. A person can't scream "free speech" in one breath while trying to silence the opposition with the next breath.

    BLM and the KKK are two sides of the same racist coin. Personally I wish they would both go away, but until then, one has as much right to spread their hate speech as the other one does.

    They didn't but then they knew the issue was fake, a fraud. Since it was brought to work about something personal they wanted to pimp out. They also had the past to go on.

    Did you want more. Oh and their not pathetic.....as all was laughing at your ass. Did you still want to be put on display? As I have no problem keeping you there as an example of what is wrong and how one gets what they give.

    One thing is for certain.....you don't have a clue as to what Patriotism is about. Maybe when you grow up you just might figure it out.

    What can I say ? I'm so used to Trump supporters making stupid statements I assumed that's what they were.

    Who cares what you have a problem with? This isn't about you, it's about free speech whether you like it or not. You can show your displeasure, but you can't show up unannounced and start trouble and then cry when something bad happens. I mean, you can, but it looks stupid.

    How sad that a protect aim at slowing down the shooting down of blacks including in one case a 12 years old playing in a public park by nervous cops and all using the false charge that to protect such actions is an attack on our troops had work in the case of the super bowl this year.

    I guess black men and women in our military should just need to hope that while they are oversea servicing our nation that no family members including their children are gun down by our police departments.

    Actually you can show up unannounced because like I said, the counterprotestors had permits of their own. You can't rally for white nationalism and then get mad when people show up to voice their displeasure and show you just how not cool that is. Freedom of speech doesn't mean freedom from consequences.

    Patriotism and love of country used to be the norm. Sadly now there are probably nearly as many people who would crap on the flag as those who respect it. In many ways our country is going to hell in a handbasket, and as long as folks can still get their Starbucks and/or their welfare checks, they don't even care.

    Pathetic. Dissent is the highest form of patriotism. DISSENT.

    Not blind adherence to demagoguery.

    Nonsense. Patriotism is not blind adherence to dogma and demagogues.

    Dissent has always been the highest form of patriotism.

    High immigration and anti American brainwashing in the liberal education system will do that

    Yep it was. But then they figured they would use the reverse analogy with free speech. They have the Right to protest.....which is true. On their own time and their own dime.

    They always use the thin excuse.....oh there were some Vets that don't agree you. Yeah, as in very very very few.

    Proof is in the pudding when they were given some money and all of sudden all their tissue issues just weren't that important anymore.

    This was this Christian Nation second coming national religion in that "serve the Pope or die" where a Bush administration in taking a knee to Islam for 9/11 made it liberty & justice for all Christians as politics is still on the ethnic "death to the infidels" cleansing list, not to be trumped by anything.

    Running from, shooting at and fighting with the cops is what causes the "the shooting down of blacks ". Can we ask even a for a modicum of common sense here?

    That's crap......Dissent can be a high form of Patriotism. Jefferson would never had said something so idiotic. Actually that quote comes out of the 60s from Pop Culture.

    What one is dissenting from Matters. That's the part you forgot.

    I forget nothing. Dissenting from the state murdering civilians is patriotism.

    Sorry but there are all manner of cases where blacks are gun down where whites would likely not be under the same situation

    Beside the 12 years old playing in the park we have the case of the black family man with no criminal record killed in front of his wife and two children after being stop by a cop for a routine traffic stop and making the error of informing the cop that he happen to be legally arm at the time.

    A black legally arm is enough reason to killed him in front of his family it would seems.

    But the reality is....the State isn't just out murdering civilians.

    Were members of the German American Bund, who protested the U.S.'s anti-Nazi policies in the 1930s and 40s, enacting the highest form of patriotism?

    The question answers itself.

    Exactly. And the KKK hasn't even been relevant in a couple of decades but you'd think they were still the same as they were in the 60's.
