If you are more upset at Kaepernick protesting police brutality than you were at the police committing it, yeah, you're part of the problem.

You implied it by insinuating something might happen if he did it in front of veterans. Very Trump of you - make a heinous statement then back off of it and say you didn't mean that.

Why? They fought for his right to protest or express dissent. You can disagree with someone’s thoughts or speech while respecting and defending their right to think or say it.

Because this protest is about what is happening to people of color in our country. This is specifically about the fact that the police are shooting men of color in our country on a regular basis and facing little in the way of penalty for it. If you are a Marine and you are also a person of color, this issue is of…

Ah, yes, page two of the fuckknuckle handbook! The “I respect your freedoms so much that I hope somebody physically harms you over them” gambit.

Go fuck yourself.

As a vet, people who freak out over what a person does during the National Anthem really piss me off. The Constitution gives everyone the freedom of choice and expression. I have one thing to say to those people, shut the F-up!

it is parody of a pretty standard conservative hot take in response to a person of color saying basically anything. If conservatives weren’t so illogical and hateful, they wouldn’t be mocked in this way.

I don’t get “the flag represents the people who died for our freedoms.” Yeah, those people died for white people’s freedoms. Take a look at how black WWII vets were treated, take a look at what “freedoms” they protected all the through the 60s. Take a look at how GI bills only gave benefits to white soldiers. Take a…

Oh fuck off man. What if i told you, and this is going to be shocking so hold on to your seats, that it is entirely possible to respect individual marines(all of them), their families and what they do, and still despise the current state of your country.

I know many former service men and women who would respect what he’s doing. Just because you serve your country doesn’t mean you go in for all that sensationalized and superficial patriotism.

People get so up in arms about that song. It’s propaganda. We think it’s weird when we see bits of North Korea and the way they parade around and pretend like everything is patriotic and perfect. But then someone here doesn’t wanna parade around and buy into the chant reaffirming their American-ness...and we lose our…

This is also another one of those situations where a person will be chastised for not respecting “the country and troops, who gave them freedom.” Because suddenly expression and protest aren’t among those freedoms.

Conservatives on big government: “I made this money with my own hard work, I didn’t need the government’s help.”

as bad as this is going to look from a PR standpoint, my respect for kaepernick has grown. and the whole “black people kill, rob and commit crime at a higher rate than anyone else” is a convenient way to overlook the desolate situations many poor and uneducated people of color find themselves in more often than their…

The debate over safe spaces, too, has become cartoonized, a shorthand way to complain about privileged millennials

Hahahaha I would love to understand a world where it's not "OK" to drive a free car.

Some cities just don’t have good public transit options, so it might not be anything to with “looking down” on public transit, just that it might be a horribly inefficient use of your time. Sure, if that’s your only option, you do what you have to, but if taking the bus took me 2 hours* and driving took me 30 minutes,…

I don’t think he knows how rings work, honestly.

Since it was only placed on my finger a few weeks ago, they’re going to have to chop my “heart of the ocean” ring off my cold dead hands. That recruiter can suck it.

They make engagement rings in “removable” now, but thanks for playing.
