Please don’t legitimize loaded/non-neutral terms such as “pro-life” (you wrote “spent his free time espousing typical conservative ideals—being pro-life, anti-immigration, and hamming it up about a “balanced budget”). As I’m sure you know, the vast majority of those who self-identify as “pro-life” support the death…

To quote, uh, you: “That is really a stupid statement. ... YOU STAND TO SHOW RESPECT TO THIS COUNTRY.” Have you read *anything* about the kneeling protest? About the fact that this nation *still* doesn’t uphold the rights of all citizens equally? That’s a legitimate thing to protest, and thank goodness some…
