    Running your mouth off on an internet forum is pretty weak protest.

    You were comparing your running your mouth on the internet, to those taking a knee. So, you're wrong again.

    You missed the point that Trump is using this issue to divide America. That may make you proud but it repulses the majority of America.

    ummm no.....the majority of America is firmly behind trump on this. A fast was to destroy your own protest is to disrespect the flag. Did you miss Patriot fans booing patriots...on their own field? Steeler fans burning their steeler shirts? NFL ratings plummeting?

    Well if they weren't fighting for slavery what were they fighting for. Or were they like the majority who really had no clue and just fought and died for stupid, trite slogans.

    No we burned the flag in protest of what it and America had come to represent. And in the hope that protest would spark the American people to understand what they were doing. And you know what it worked. Eventually even the clueless American proletariat that mindlessly followed what their rulers told them to believe realized it was a war based on and promulgated on a lie and turned against the war. . The war was a disgrace and a blot forever on the integrity of America and American principles.

    And you know what. If necessary we will do it again.

    hmmmm, if my protest is weak as **** then why are you feverishly trying to stifle it? I mean look at the crazy pic you posted...youre just upchucking gibberish and hoping it will stick. It wont. I always win...easily. Perhaps you can explain why you agree with disrespecting the flag but not free speech on an internet forum. I cant wait to see what you come up with...its so amusing for me to watch what upchuck comes next.

    All nonsense. You're posting, no one is stoping you from making a fool of yourself. No one is trying to stifle your free speech. I never said I agreed, or disagreed, with disrespecting the flag. They're just taking a knee in protest. BFD. You're the one off on some faux disrespecting the flag BS because the doter in chief ordered you to.

    Very interesting comment.

    For years I lobbied against public subsidization of professional stadiums and arenas. I always wrote of how this was nothing more than corporate welfarism and a great burden to society. Up to this time, right wingers expressed strong approval of such subsidization because to them the rich have an entitlement to our money.

    Hopefully, some day right wingers will come to their senses however limited those might be. Eventually they will need to realize that the TRILLIONS in corporate subsidization in the form of huge stadiums for pro teams, foreign wars, over seas tax shelters simply do NOT serve society's interests.

    If only these deluded right wingers would just open their closed minds, hearts, and eyes, they would realize that every American who died in Vietnam, Iraq, Afghanistan, Korean, or wherever, died so that rich people could profit. That every war, every new stadium, every new tax shelter benefits the rich while you, me, and every one else bleeds dollar wise and blood wise. Contrary to all the endless lies that you see or hear each and every day from the far right are just that: LIES. There isn't a word of truth to any of this garbage. There never would have been a Bolshevik revolution if Republican Wall Street hadn't financed it. Hitler would never have come to power if Wall Street hadn't financed his campaign. There never was any need for the military industrial complex or the trillions in wastage paid out to the traitors who control it.

    Supporting the Republican party means supporting war, militarism, corporate welfarism, and war hysteria. But NONE DARE CALL IT TREASON!

    You sure like to generalize. How many Trump supporters protested Trump's actions in Syria? How many said to stop getting involved in every other country's business? I know plenty of Trump supporters who have always been against public funds to pay for private stadiums. Tell me what party was involved in destroying Libya and moving weapons to jihadists in Syria? Maybe you forget it was a Republican President who warned the country about the military/industrial complex.

    Why is the President of the US getting involved in this squabble? What, did he have some spare time between golf outings?

    Sorry, conservatives think for themselves unlike the leftist kneelers who learned a lot about kneeling in front of Obama and Bill Clinton. Yeah disrespecting the flag and what it represents according to you is thought of as "BFD". LOL, willful ignorance. And you wonder why dems lost the election. Stupidity is the reason as you just demonstrated.
