    Saul? Saul Alinsky . . . is that you Saul? See what your 'Handbook for Radicals' has wrought Left of Center? Total mental incoherence. But on the other hand they have got feelings. Sadly, nothing more than feelings.

    American adults disapprove 54 - 38 percent of athletes refusing to stand during the National Anthem in protest of perceived police violence against the black community, according to a Quinnipiac University national poll released today.

    Once again you are on the losing side of the argument

    Uh...you're the one supporting disrespecting the flag, and whining when other people don't "love the country" on your cue?

    Get bent. You've clearly warped the notion of 'loving the country' into loving its leaders.

    And not every leader, obviously: only the ones you like. So you willfully conflate "loving the country" with a demand that we loved Obama, while you - in a show of naked hypocrisy - openly despise Trump.

    How stupid could you possibly be?

    When people love the country, it has NOTHING to do with the leaders. It has to do with its core structure, as put to paper in the DoC; BoR and Constitution. As symbolically represented by our FLAG. We are only loyal to leaders who we believe reflect those values, and Obama wasn't one of them.

    And which side is the one stomping on our FLAG? Your side. That's why you love Obama over our flag.

    Don't you ever lecture a single soul on this again, or I will provide you this exact level of verbal smackdown every last time, prog.

    Absolutely. That's what I've done. I used to watch every game I could. Now I just watch when my team is playing. So I'm probably watching 1/4 of what I used to.

    Never read it. How is it? Oh what am I saying? You never read it either. Your right wing masters told you to use that line on anyone who disagrees with you right?

    No admission of having joined the military and yet such strong opinions regarding people who actually DID wear a uniform and serve. Gosh, there must be a leftist in the house!

    Clearly you're not that patriotic if you have to thrown around labels to see who is or isn't and then pass judgment.

    That's how leftists are. They want their freedom of speech and they don't want any blow back. They pout like babies when criticized.

    Read my reply. No third wave at Omaha or Utah and above all the USMC was NEVER involved. Liberal lies are so unsophisticated. I doubt he/she will be back.

    Don't fret, because both Obama and Hillary read it and Obama even got paid to teach it before becoming a a professional politician. He used what he learned from Saul's book on Leftists just like you for eight straight years and so you know about the book even though you've never read it. Instead you . . . lived it.

    :facepalm:

    It took one question, and you were absolutely dismissed.

    Tell me: what is the point of taking off one's hat and placing one's hand over one's heart during the Pledge or Anthem?

    Taking a knee is the opposite of the above. Let's see you rationalize otherwise.

    Just like Wild Horses did, you associate the elected leaders of a country with the flag of a country. That's asinine. You can absolutely despise an elected choice for office but feel exactly the same way you always did about the country and the flag.

    But progs are incapable. They cannot disassociate leaders of the country from the flag of the country. Why? Because they're incapable of separating emotion from logic.

    The flag stands for that which binds us. If you cannot honor it in the way we always have, it demonstrates only one thing: you're not loyal to those things which bind us; which make us Americans.

    Now I have no doubt that there are legions of leftists who are too stupid and brainwashed to understand that, but it is so.

    The flag represents the greatness of America. The idealized greatness. That to which we strive. It represents the Shining Beacon; the manifestation of freedom.

    It does not represent evils done in its name; it does not represent corruption, racism, injustice, etc. Those things are made real by men, and evil itself.

    Those who do not understand that, or - worse - and active part of promulgating those things, are the ones who are disrespecting our flag.

    My impression is that both right and left think they are the reasonable ones and the other side is crazy.

    I doubt that anyone has had any "respect" for the NFL for decades. Professional sports enterprises have never done much to earn the respect of the public.
    Now they have managed to make their businesses repulsive to most of their customers.

    Advice to owners: SELL! SELL! SELL! - if you can still find a buyer.

    Right wing masters? The right wing thinks independently ... we are the ones capable of navigating life without having our butt wiped by government. It's the left that needs the nanny state to get though each day.

    It is very true....of course there are those already set for life that think government doing charity work for them gets the off the hook.

    Not really, because I don't see them criticizing other people's rights and claiming to be so patriotic and not doing a damn thing.

    It is easy to call yourself a patriot. Much harder to do something to prove you are.
