    Except that it's a hypocrisy that doesn't exist. His post was based on media distortions. Nowhere and at no time did Trump ever say Nazis were good people.

    Yes, considering he became a millionaire at the behest of same country. Since he was adopted by white midwestern white people in that same country. Since without both, he would never have gotten to the position he now finds himself to spit on that same culture.

    What that asshat clown did was decide that insulting those same people who enabled his path to success - those same white people, in his case, including hundreds of thousands of fans, including me at one time (because he grew up in my area) - was worth it. He selfishly decided that his own political beliefs trump loyalty to a country which enables them.

    He decided he'd rather insult the same flag all THOSE people honor - and insult them in the process - merely because there are still examples of injustice in this country.

    How does he or anyone else propose that we eliminate all forms of injustice in this country? Become perfect? How does any rational person decide that such a thing is even possible?

    Particularly ironic is Kaepernick's (and your - unless you're forced by people like me shaming you into it) abject refusal to condemn actions of black people themselves. Black people inflict more damage on themselves than any other demographic, and it isn't even close.

    Faced with that purposefully avoiding accountability for that demonstration of rank hypocrisy, it is easy to conclude that these protests aren't about 'justice' at all. They're about promulgating a very specific LEFTIST political agenda.

    This is the tactic that leftists are using to defeat the last major remaining obstacle to progressive hegemony. Millions like you, though, are far too blind and unwise to have any kind of chance of throwing back the curtain obscuring the strategy.

    Maybe you do need an education. Only two beaches assigned to the US. Utah was not a problem. Omaha really only had two waves engaged in combat with a follow through landing with minimal risk. No third wave.Total infantry involved was about 45K. Total casualties including killed and wounded were far less than 5K with a 1:3 fatality rate. Therefore I really have to question this story or any of the rest of them.
    BTW the USMC was not involved in Europe and were not present at Normandy. Just saying.

    Frankly, I think left and right are both as bad as each other in refusing to listen to the other side.

    I do, considering how very many of them in the South in modern times became soldiers, sailors, Marines, and air force members and fought and sometimes died for their nation while leftists . . . well . . . leftists increasingly refused to honor flag or nation or serve in the military; and that apparently has become the true and increasingly obvious nature of leftists nowadays.

    Baloney. The Right has been listening to the Left for many years now and generally ALL they hear is the Left calling people Right of Center racists and bigots and warmongers and to blame for all the evils of the world. Nobody Right of Center missed those typical leftist messages.

    As is amply demonstrated in the post by xwsmith on the topic of conservatives & liberals, it is only the liberals who refuse to listen; who do not have the capacity to understand.

    Conservatives know and understand what liberals think. The reverse is not true, as proven by that posted study.

    Prove that. I would LOVE to see your evidence that whites invented slavery. Your lack of basic history is incredible.

    You either do not have the desire or the ability to debate me regarding the Russia deal so you are throwing the same old stupid attack of the "DNC and MSM". What about the DNC and MSM? Go ahead quote them on something and then show a link with facts not opinion that prooves that quite wrong. You cannot!

    These days in the US of A, tolerance is frowned upon, as U Bum has recently demonstrated.

    The Official Position on anything at all is intolerance and belligerence, a sign of the times.

    :lol:

    Leftist denies they're leftist; leftist claims to not even imagine what such a thing is. ROFLMAO

    Same leftist cannot conjure the nature of a patriot either. Shocking.

    I'm going to ask this strictly rhetorically, for the lulz (which, naturally, will provide you ample cover to run away and avoid answering): how would you describe your politics?

    I ask because we already know what you are, even if you deny it for strategic purposes. Hint: it doesn't help your credibility to deny your nature when you demonstrate it with every post you offer.

    Why do you people think just because someone has money they are not allowed to speak out on something they feel strongly about? Since nothing will ever be perfect nobody should say anything? Wish right wingers would have thought that the last eight years so we didn't have to listen to their whining all the time.

    You need new stuff. I posted a study from this century(2015, yours is from 1998 and focuses on 96-97) that is a much more comprehensive study than one single year in the NFL.

    In your reply is nothing which directly engages with his sense of outrage at how he feels black people are treated. Much more convenient to ignore his feelings perhaps. And, by the way, your "Particularly ironic" paragraph shows some rather impressive mind-reading abilities. Well, it would if your assumptions were true, which they are not. So I'm not minded to get my head around the leftist conspiracy with which you end.

    Every culture has practiced it, ancient Greece and Rome are likely the earliest examples.

    Oh, that's a lie. Where has he condemned blacks killing other blacks in the inner cities across America? No, prog: he is outraged not by people dying, but by white people. He is outraged by our Constitutional Republic.

    Oh, there's no imagination necessary. It's plain and obvious what he's doing. When one can see it clearly, one also easily sees the rank hypocrisy, as I've just explained.

    Funny that you don't see it. Don't you find it hypocritical that the largest cause of minority death in this country is totally avoided by his protests?

    Unless you share in the hypocrisy, I'd "imagine" not.

    That's not what you said. You said whites created it. Now back up that fake claim or admit you made it up.

    Of course I addressed that; I argued that it doesn't exist. If it did, Kaepernick would be protesting against black thugs.

    But he never has.

    Protip: when squabbling about "mind reading abilities" it would be useful if you don't then immediately and hypocritical employ your own, and claim you know my statement to be false ostensibly using the same mechanism to conclude that.

    And no one is shocked that you have no interest in getting your head around anything.

    The players are irate that Trump has now, "Dragged sports into a political discussion".

    But isn't that what the players did when they kneeled?

    Just because you are a pro athlete and because Obama and other professional race agitators and race baiters SAID that this nation is EVIL, doesn't make The United States of America the hellhole that the average leftist paints it as being.

    There is only one thing you leftists have: imagination. Show me where I ever said that someone is not allowed to speak out on something.

    Again. Consider this an allegorical slap across your face. In what line I wrote did I ever say that no one should say anything?

    That never happened, imaginarium.

    Now: are you really so weak that you have to make something up in order to avoid facing the actual consequences of a position? I am arguing against what has been said, not claiming that someone shouldn't say it.

    Please provide more DERP. We're running low.
