Really? Who has the most courage? The man that makes his voice heard, or those that just follow the flock?
ReplyDeleteI cannot, for the life of me, understand how any of you can call yourselves Americans. America, is about freedom and liberty. We have free speech, we have the right to peacefully protest.
You know where you can't do that? You know where forced nationalism and patriotism are a thing? That's right.. the people we call "Enemy". North Korea, Nazi Germany, Communist Nations.
You don't have to agree with these peoples opinions to support their right to exercise their American freedoms. If you can't support these people rights, while still disagreeing with them... I suggest you stop calling yourselves Americans, you are not patriots... and you disrespect all those who have died protecting freedom.
America is not a song, it is not a flag, it is not a pledge. America is freedom and liberty.. and when it stops being freedom and liberty..... it stops being America.
We are talking disrespect!!! Yes we should always have the right to free speach, but disrespect is not always excepted on the job. When I go to my job I represent my employer. And if I feel the need to ack like an ass while he is paying me, he has every right to get rid of me.
DeletePlease everyone go to work today and do the same thing the NFL player's did. Come back home around let's say 9am.ish and let everyone know how it went. As a business owner I already know what the outcome is going to be as soon as you start to protest about anything on my dime.
Delete4:32, "peacefully protest" is a term you really need to use lightly. The only reason these particular protests are "peaceful" is because they are exposed LIVE on national TV.
ReplyDeleteThe anti Trump protesters, or let's just be honest, LIBERALS, claim to be peaceful rainbow snowflakes who wouldn't hurt a fly, yet we have proven right here thousands of times that Liberals are the most hateful, hurtful and violent people in America.
They do NOT care about who we are, what we stand for and the very people who fought to ALLOW each and every one of us the right to FREE SPEECH. Obviously Liberals feel that too was FREE and that there was no price, (of LIFE) sacrificed to give us that liberty.
So save your speech somewhere else. Or should I say, BS.
@ Joe
ReplyDeleteI think you are having difficulty because you don't agree with their message. That's OK. I don't necessarily either.
However, I do not condemn them, nor do I demonize them. In fact.. we only give them traction and credibility by focusing on them. We empower them with the insults and jeers. Disagree with their statements, disagree with their ideas, but to label them as cowards and unpatriotic, and unAmerican is flat out false.
It's counter productive.
And, to call pointing out why America is great as being "BS" is disconcerting me. Freedom and Liberty are "BS"... our rights are "BS"? I don't think you really mean that. I think you just disagree with their message, and want to be o.k. with demonizing them.
5:17, There's a time and a place. I stand behind our President on just that. They are the ones who politicized this matter with their LOOK AT ME grandstanding.
ReplyDeleteAs an American, I have numerous family members who have are are still serving our country. I have a Cousin who died in one of the Twin Towers.
Our Flag represents who we are and what we stand for. The Steelers coach clearly stated last night, our players didn't want to disrespect our Flag so they stayed in the locker room. The Idiot just admitted to the world that what they are doing is disrespecting America.
You and I both know what they are doing. There is the First Amendment and then there's the ABUSE of our First Amendment. I simply and firmly believe this is abuse.
Right on Mr.Albero. It's disrespect,plain and simple.
ReplyDeleteAgree with Joe & 5:03 & 6:38. And I hope 4:56/ 5:30 takes the challenge 6:38 puts out there.
ReplyDeleteThere's a time and a place.
Ditto 7:03
ReplyDeleteHey Joe....keep nailing the straw man guy.
ReplyDeleteAn intellectually pious and elitist lecturer to the masses.
Only HE can see the issues and the rest of us wait in inferior silence for his next announcement of our failed logic, poor arguments, fake patriotism and HIS perfect moral, social, and political clarity.
Don't criticize his dress, though. That would be some "-ism" that you have ignorantly used.
You know what I'm saying??
