    Those who condemn the actions of the NFL players are unpatriotic.

    7 to 18 million is more genocide than Hitler did to the Jews. Fail.

    "In his January 1851 message to the California legislature, California Governor Peter H. Burnett promised "a war of extermination will continue to be waged between the two races until the Indian race becomes extinct." Newspapers cheered on the campaign. In 1853 the Yreka Herald called on the government to provide aid to "enable the citizens of the north to carry on a war of extermination until the last redskin of these tribes has been killed. Extermination is no longer a question of time--the time has arrived, the work has commenced and let the first man who says treaty or peace be regarded as a traitor." Other newspapers voiced similar sentiments.

    Towns offered bounty hunters cash for every Indian head or scalp they obtained. Rewards ranged from $5 for every severed head in Shasta City in 1855 to 25 cents for a scalp in Honey Lake in 1863. One resident of Shasta City wrote about how he remembers seeing men bringing mules to town, each laden with eight to twelve Indian heads. Other regions passed laws that called for collective punishment for the whole village for crimes committed by Indians, up to the destruction of the entire village and all of its inhabitants. These policies led to the destruction of as many as 150 Native communities."

    What a joke. I identified a number of violations or is it that you are just to ignorant of the constitution to realize.

    First Amendment (No laws based on Religion such as for Abortion)
    Fourth Amendment (Right to privacy, unreasonable/arbitrary search and seizure and so on) . Never heard of the Patriot Act ?

    Since when is a zygote a "child" ? Prove that a zygote is even a human.

    Who said I was in favor of rights for illegals ? I am a constitution loving fiscal republican (old style prior to the religious right taking over).

    You do not have the first clue about Republicanism or the principles on which this nation was founded. I spit in your general direction.

    Do you enjoy lying to your self?

    You take an out of context quote from something Obama said, and just pepper it into some random BS you make up?

    "Now, Mizzou, I just have two words for you tonight: five days. Five days. After decades of broken politics in Washington, and eight years of failed policies from George W. Bush, and 21 months of a campaign that's taken us from the rocky coast of Maine to the sunshine of California, we are five days away from fundamentally transforming the United States of America.

    In five days, you can turn the page on policies that put greed and irresponsibility on Wall Street before the hard work and sacrifice of folks on Main Street. In five days, you can choose policies that invest in our middle class, and create new jobs, and grow this economy, so that everyone has a chance to succeed, not just the CEO, but the secretary and janitor, not just the factory owner, but the men and women on the factory floor."
    Barack Obama

    "
    Interview with Bill O’Reilly, Feb. 2, 2014


    O’Reilly: OK. I got a letter from Kathy LaMaster, Fresno, Calif. I said I would read one letter from the folks, all right?


    Obama: All right.


    O’Reilly: "Mr. President, why do you feel it's necessary to fundamentally transform the nation that has afforded you so much opportunity and success?"


    Obama: I don't think we have to fundamentally transform the nation.


    O’Reilly: But those are your words.


    Obama: I think that what we have to do is make sure that here in America, if you work hard, you can get ahead. Bill, you and I benefitted from this incredible country of ours, in part, because there were good jobs out there that paid a good wage, because you had public schools that functioned well, that we could get scholarships if we didn't come from a wealthy family, in order to go to college.


    O’Reilly: Right.


    Obama: That, you know, if you worked hard, not only did you have a good job, but you also had decent benefits, decent health care...


    O’Reilly: They're cutting me off...


    Obama: -- and for a lot of folks, we don't have that. We've got to make sure that we're doing everything we can to expand the middle class...


    O’Reilly: All right...


    Obama: -- and work hard and people who are working hard can get into the middle class.

    "

    Guess what..He did just that.
    And now Trump supporters the fake patriots they are want to change what was already great.

    Then why don't they all go down on Mondays and protest in front of the police station where, as opposed to their work place, they do have freedom of speech and assembly. If you think calling cops pigs and supporting cop killers is a patriotic protest like our revolution, you need to go back to school.
    Some vets support the NFL protests; most, by far, do not.

    Great post from a person who is not a "patriot".

    The NFL is not being patriotic, they are protesting America itself, they blame America for whatever they see as the ailment of the day.

    The failure is all yours. You claimed 50 million NA were murdered under our flag which wasn't even created until 1776. Most of them died from disease. There never were 50 million Natives in North America and that's from the link you provided.You fail.

    It is useless to debate someone who keeps repeating the same lie. You want to interject your own words into Trumps mouth then you sir are beyond help. TDS......

    Police and law enforcement officials killed at least 223 black Americans in the 2016.

    Then perhaps they should stop engaging in criminal behavior that gets them killed, along with the hundreds of white people who were also shot.

    When you rape, murder, rob, and deal drugs you get dead. That's how it should be.

    The flag represents all those U.S. citizens who gave their lives so that the greatest nation in the history of humanity AND the living citizens who in turn respected them for their noble sacrifices and thus the United States could come into being and flourish for more than two centuries. Our numbers are considerably greater than those of leftist nation-haters and all of their useful idiot ideological drones.

    Psssst . . . every police officer who draws his or her weapon undergoes a time and expenses intensive investigation and the time, energy, and cost if the weapon is actually discharged and then a citizen struck is off the charts.

    So what leftists are really saying is that they have no use for the U.S. justice system and nor trial by a jury of one's peers since so seldom do those lead to the lynchings that would make hate-filled leftists feel good about the world.

    The truth is that leftists want a separate and exclusionary 'justice' for their treasured (voting) minority blocks so that no matter what the minority has done they ALWAYS get away with it sans ANY meaningful consequences; and if that form of LEFTIST 'justice' happens to destroy this nation over time, then so be it.

    Yes it is about anthem, flag, and country. But in all honesty nobody expects anybody Left of Center -- and nor any of their sycophantic loyalists -- to get that.

    Perhaps it's the tendency of leftists and their ideological allies to always display their utter disdain and open contempt and hatred for this nation and all its traditional symbols -- in one way or the other -- that confuses the Right in regards to patriotism. I mean naturally the very first thing that DOES come into mind whenever a group of leftists cheer the burning of a flag or taking the knee during the national anthem is that 'Yep that bunch are TOTALLY nation loving patriots!'

    I agree. It is ironic that you Trump lovers are helping him to ensure the Democrats he supported for all of those years retake control of the Congress.
