    if spitting on the country's symbols is the pinnacle of Americanism, what is treason? cause for parades?

    And you want to wrap the flag around yourself. Pot, meet kettle.

    A false statement. The stated purpose, many times stated for those paying attention, is to protest the many forms of social injustice brought by really poor government policy.

    No it is NOT.. It is to cast light on racial injustice. What are you afraid of, Mac?

    Nice attempt, but pretty sure I did not say that. But so many of us did repeat this or something close to it in service to our country:

    I, _____, do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; and that I will obey the orders of the President of the United States and the orders of the officers appointed over me, according to regulations and the Uniform Code of Military Justice. So help me God.

    How many of those kneelers have given anything to this country?

    And popular votes don't win presidencies. But we were also told by these pollsters that Trump had no path to 270 E.C. votes - something you guys always leave out.
    Kneeling is a sign of defeat and submission.

    Protest over a lie, against the flag and country that has done so much for all of us, is just stupidity in motion

    Watch–Beto O’Rourke to Black American: Illegal Immigrant Labor Needed for Cotton Gin

    During a town hall event on Wednesday night, Rep. Beto O’Rourke (D-TX) — running against Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) for the Senate seat — told a black American who questioned his support of illegal immigration that illegal aliens from Central America and Mexico are today’s cotton pickers.

    https://www.breitbart.com/video/201...llegal-immigrant-labor-needed-for-cotton-gin/

    I believe Beto can go beat off since he won't be a senator.

    Texas is the #1 destination for progs fleeing the Hell they created in CA. I hope Texans stay on top of things down there- thats a nasty foe.

    O’Rourke is an anti American globalist

    But so are many of his supporters

    So statements like that do not hurt him with his base

    You have absolutely zero personal experience or understanding of their experiences in order to justify your belief. There are literally dozens of studies and personal stories that I could present you in order to help you understand that minorities are subject to different injustices solely by virtue of how they look. How can you possibly ignore all of that?

    So you have a breitbart headline that seriously and intentionally butchers his quote, and another quote that is equally absurd given the actual history and data of our country in terms of how that law gets applied to various individuals.

    Part of the problem is giving welfare to able-bodied Americans

    It makes them lazy and unwilling to work

    Texas demographics are shifting by the hour. Illegals are streaming in, setting up shop and popping out babies as quickly as possible...EXACTLY what Democrats want to happen. Just look at how easily controllable Latins are to the south of us. Look at what Venezuelans voted into to office which destroyed them. Democrats, at least those in power, want an under-educated, poor electorate, who is completely dependent. That way, they'll vote for anyone who promises freebies. Its the Democrat plan all along. Its why they push for ICE to be destroyed. Its why the want lax immigration policy. Its why they demonize anyone who brings up illegal immigration. Its why they changed the terminology. Its treasonous really;)
