No knickers soiled here. Just seeing who folks really are. To use 911 to bash one party and promote another is disrespectful. To compare one party to terrorists is equally disrespectful. It’s part of the problem not the solution and as long as that mentality continues with any percentage of folks we are in trouble. The funny part is it is because of idiots like this rather than them being the patriots they think they are.

I hate when folks that lean politically towards where I am at become extremists that think they are mainstream. In effect you are the mirror image of that you profess to hate.

It’s interesting to see who agrees with the nonsense of the OP, who disagrees, and the number of folks remaining silent.

The ones agreeing in the words of Dennis Greene are who we thought they were.

Just the act of expressing one's point of view.. i get it tho.. sometimes you want to pour beer on them, other times it's their right to express themselves... 😟

Huh? I’m arguing with the view not the right to express it. They can express it and I’ll point it out as what it is. But they can certainly say it. Just don’t expect to not have someone point out the stupidity.

And yes it is disrespectful to use 911 as a political tool. Maybe your equivalence is using an nfl game or the anthem as such. That is worthy of thought. But in that case I don’t think anyone is saying the other side are equal to or worse than terrorists. Painting about half the country as equal to terrorists is just plain stupid. But he has the right to be stupid.

Close to describing what pisses me off most about Fox News.
I demand more from news and opinion outlets that share much of my philosophy.
Sure, MSNBC and CNN are off the rails much of the time. But Hannity bothers me more than Cuomo because I want better from personalities who help shape conservative thought.

But drafter I think I get your point. If I’m not mistaken you are not supporting the stupidity of the OP instead you are using it to point out kneeling as the same and just as bad. And that is an interesting argument.

I’m with you dst. Same issue here.

And drafter also has a point. It all goes back to selective outrage. Even with me.

I disagree with the ignorance and hate in this op. Anyone who equates liberals/Democrats with terrorists is a moron. Anyone who wants to take away constitutionally protected rights is evil like McCarthy was. Anyone who thinks everyone should think like they do thinks stupidly. On issues like this I don't give a danm what the morons think.

I’m with you Spey. The difference I have with drafter on this (although I think I know what he is getting at) is calling a huge swath of Americans anti American and equating them to terrorists. Not only is it dumb, it’s dangerous. Maybe the op won’t do anything to take out the anti American terrorists but someone will.

To me that is different than peaceful protest but as usual nothing is absolute or clean. And it’s worth reconsidering your own thoughts when someone makes a point.

Think how much we could get done without silly opposition.
We should envy the efficiency that Fat Jung Un has at his disposal.
Putin too. That's the type of system that gets chit done!

I really agree.
I've said it before, but I'll pretend I forgot...

my father taught me that I truly don't want to get everything I want. If I got it all my way, half the country would be oppressed and I'd be supporting a dictatorship.

also, there is no such thing as a benevolent dictator...that one might not have come from Dad though.
