    They certainly are among forum right wingers. All that hate and jealousy on full display here on PF every day.





    Exactly. At no point did she attack the USA, contrary to the lies of the right wingers on this thread. Everybody who can read can clearly see she never slams the USA but protests injustice.

    When you think about it, it is the forum right wingers who slam the USA by complaining about efforts to redress social injustices. Their attempts to perpetuate racialist injustice is an attack on the USA and is unpatriotic.

    Megan and those like her are the real patriots.

    And she is free to do so on her own time and her own time when she is not there as part of a national team representing the enitre country at a sporting event not a political event.

    Last time I checked, she was on the national team representing the US for her athletic skills.
    Rather weird that you as an American demand she may not be free when singing "the land of the free".
    You're a failure to your own anthem. lol

    Thankfully it is not your place to dictate what others do.

    They love the idea of freedom until someone they don't like exercises it.

    it's the truly patriotic thing to do

    After all, Tea B.......S did that to Obama and it was considered ok. But then, they got quiet after he bailed out their sorry asses in NOLA.

    My free speech is less than yours? Do we not dictate speech on campuses these days?

    She is free to exercise that freedom on her own dime and her own time. She is there as a member of a national team representing the entire country not there to embarrass the country and the President.

    Yes she is there as one part of a team a national team. She applied for membership to a team a national team and she should respect that and the country regardless her opinion of the President or her personal political grudges.

    And when you can't win on the merits...........

    It's not patriotic to slam your country and the President when you asked for and were granted the opportunity to represent the country on a national team WMD then try to embarrass it on that international stage.

    She did not slam the USA. On the contrary, her efforts if heeded will improve it. That is the type of patriotism we need today. Not the hate filled garbage advocated and practiced by the far right.

    I don't think you fully understand how you end up on the national team.
    She has been like this since 2016. Go try again what her motives are.

    I do and so what? So asked to be on the team and accepted the position representing our country. She should show proper decorum.

    Yes she did and she can engage in her efforts as a private citizen on her own time not representing the national team and country. She's an embarrassment.

    She's living up to the theme of "land of the free", while others like you are against being free.

    Your link is to the dailycaller. I linked a Yahoo story.
    In the real Yahoo story there is nothing mentioned about tRUMP.
    So your link must be a lie.
