We built a monument to a president that threw American citizens into camps because they shared an ethnicity with people that attacked us. What’s that about people that don’t learn from history?

It reminds me of a bit in one of Al Franken’s books: Conservatives love America like a little kid loves their parent- America is perfect and does no wrong and anyone criticizing it is bad and hates it. Liberals love America like adults- America has good and bad aspects and you try to make it better by pointing out the…
I love that you attributed political correctness to conservatives while complaining about revisionism.
Judging by the FB posts of my crazy right-wing aunt, white people are the true deciders on how oppressed minorities and LBGTs are.
Even if Trump were to drop out tomorrow, somehow never give an interview ever again, the can of alt-right worms he opened won’t go away so easily. Even when he loses and loses big, the toxic waste he unloaded on the American political system won’t just evaporate.
The flag and the anthem mean something to the millions of blacks and other minorities that get discriminated against systematically in this country, then get told to shut up and get out when they want to start a dialogue about what’s going wrong and how to fix it.
If we were going to take the oil, we would have needed to stay in Iraq until it was dry as a camel’s vagina. So, basically forever. Iraq could have been a US possession, one strategically located next to Iran and Russia and between Disneyland Paris and Shanghai Disney. Instead, we were more interested in allowing a…
Trump watched the last scene of There Will Be Blood, and thinks we can just suck all of the oil out of the Middle East with a giant straw.
Good to see that Trump finally had the balls to hire noted policy expert That One Homeless Guy Who Told Jimmy Haslam to Draft Johnny Manziel.
“People don’t know this about Iraq, but they have among the largest oil reserves in the world.”
This whole thing could be avoided if we switched the anthem to James Brown’s “Living in America.”
White hypocrites: “Black people should protest peacefully, not loudly in the streets.”
btw, it should be noted that Mark Cuban has voiced support for Kaepernick, while Rodney Harrison probably gave the dumbest anti-Kaep take of all, so the problem isn’t necessarily divided among racial lines. However, it bothers me how people in position of power want to force their perspectives on people with less…
Tomi Lahren looks like she raided the lip gloss aisle at Clare’s, and she is NOT GOING TO TAKE SOME SHIT FROM SOME MALL COP.
Those against Kaepernick; Roger Godell, this guy, “anonymous NFL execs”, John Tortorella, and Donald Trump.
Nicolas Cage once stole the Constitution to stop other people from stealing it.
“We don’t want Megan Rapinoe to cause a scene, so we’re going to cause a scene.”
It’s not a paradox. You’re too hung up on the flag. He’s not protesting the symbols (which represent much more than military service and the freedom of speech). He’s asking if the cultural and legal values that define those symbols are actually practiced in the United States. The people who are doing what you suggest…
Is it more disrespectful than having a contingent of the country literally being allowed to get away with murder? Kaep’s doing it because the country is falling short of what the flag is supposed to symbolize. The flag is nothing more than a symbol of the ideology this country is supposed to represent. When the…
Well, in defense of us white people, we’re a smug and condescending group. When we say for example, “stand up for what you believe in.” We really mean: “stand up for something that doesn’t make us feel uncomfortable about past actions that quite frankly may be frowned upon.”
