Can we get a running list of all the over-privileged prima donna haters of America who refuse to respect our flag every Sunday plz?

Man Who Put Mini American Flag Up In House Hasn’t Sat Down In 5 Years

September 12, 2018

DALLAS, TX—Local conservative man Frank Washer put up a tiny American flag as a decoration in his home almost five years ago, and hasn’t sat down anywhere in the vicinity of his house for the full duration of the flag’s display.

 

He stands respectfully at all times while in sight of the flag, even sleeping standing up just to be sure he doesn’t dishonor the display of the United States’ colors.

“To sit down or sleep lying down in its presence would be to dishonor the veterans, the Founding Fathers, and God Himself,” he told reporters as he stood at attention to the flag. “Maybe the godless liberal atheists are OK with sitting down once in a while when there’s an American flag present, but not me. In this house, we stand.”

Washer verbally berates both his family and house guests who try to take a seat in his home, pointing out that the flag is clearly on display and must be respected at all times. The man even disowned his own 7-year-old son when the boy knelt to tie his shoes. “Harsh? Yes, but you better believe that kid will think twice the next time he wants to kneel down anywhere near Old Glory.”

At publishing time, sources had been able to confirm that Washer’s Bible was thrown on the floor haphazardly, unread in several weeks.

Unlike the conservatives and liberals who HATE liberty!

Liberty itself hinges upon whether or not the football man stands up!

I would say someone who says the players must stand for the anthem misunderstands the meaning of the anthem and flag themselves, at the very least.  hate might be too strong of a word, but they are damned sure inconsistent with what they allegedly stand for, both literally and figuratively.

 

My point is that all conservatives are not on the "stand or else!" platform.

Here's the other issue..... it's now a losing political debate for the conservatives.

 

Called it.  Time was not on the bigots’ side here.  Trump trumpeted this issue too much too early.  A ton of people instinctively hated the protest at first at a gut level.  The more Trump spoke about it, the more it was in the news, the more people were able to consider and deliberate and not rely on instinct. 

The aren't a lot of examples of Trump messing up on a ‘gut feel’ issue like that.  It’s his political talent.

so you are giving Trump credit for being a catalyst in finding unity?

 

Cool.  his methods are unorthodox, but evidently gaining momentum in effectiveness.

The more he said something was wrong, the more people realized his statements are dumb.  He’s a catalyst sort of like a chlamydia outbreak is a catalyst for the latex industry.

Fox News and Trump world don't have real money. In fact everything diametrically opposed to that, which is 99.999% of the world, has the real money.

It's good business to market to the world outside of Trump. That world is made of money.

So..... who were the idiots roaming around saying doubling down on Kaep was going to hurt Nike's revenues?

 

I love Fox News using a pic of some troll burning his 2004 grass stained Nike cleats.  You know that same guy will cut you if you were to look funny at his fresh Jordans.  

 

Fox.  Lol

That’s the cool/frustrating thing about being a progressive. You are on the winning side eventually, but the losing side presently.

And you never get credit or acknowledgment for being right the entire time. 

How does it feel to be the smartest person in the room?

Fucking awful
