I agree with you - which exactly leads to the whole issue of “civil war.” The Left is using/promoting this entire controversy as proxy violence against America/Americans. It can’t go on forever.

Love the analogy of what trump did was he lanced the boil.

I hope we deal with this. This is about not being united anymore. I don’t want to pretend that we are. I don’t want to live side by side with people who have ALWAYS ACTIVELY HATED ME AND MY IDEOLOGY.
I have NOTHING aim common with leftists and NEVER WILL.

We are a sharply bifurcated nation with what appears to be widening irreconcilable differences.

Those differences are being widened intentionally, and gleefully. The Left has wanted do destroy America since the 60s, and they are winning.

I agree. I am completely closeted in public life here in Los Angeles. Bad things would happen to my children if I were allowed to express my politics. So I cannot. The divide is that great. The tolerant lefties and their massive country full of Gullibles who fall for their scams are against violence except for Trump and his supporters, to whom they wish death or ostracism.

I don’t know how to reach these Gullibles. They are so wrong. They think we are evil, but they are dead wrong, is the problem, but they are gullible so they can’t see it. Their media, which they believe is unbiased “news” information, tells them Trump has created the divide. They believe Trump caused the white supremacists to kill people in Charlottesville. They have zero understanding of what really happened and of what Trump actually said afterward. They think he has emboldened a huge number of white people who hate nonwhites.

THERE IS NO NUMBER OF WHITE PEOPLE WHO HATE NONWHITES in the USA. I don’t think we could find a smaller problem in this country. There is no fear in the USA of actual white people or police (who are not all white) harming people of color. Yes, there exist white racists. But it isn’t a societal problem. It is too small to worry about. The leftists have posed this as a threat and the Gullibles have believed it. Basically the Leftists have pulled a Charles Manson, only the Gullibles believe in Helter Skelter now instead of knowing it’s full on insane.

Now that's something that will start a war.

Golly. I sure hope people don't get the idea that I am fomenting that.

Why would somebody think that you are formenting the protestors, protesting against Goodell?

I’m not being hyperbolic when I say Donald Trumps’ war against Political Correctness will ultimately save Western Civilization.

YOUR RESPONSE could save this mess.

If the military brass dared speak up and say, publicly, “WHEN YOU KNEEL FOR OUR FLAG, YOU DISRESPECT EVERYONE WHO FOUGHT AND DIED FOR IT. YOU DISRESPECT “JOE BLOE” (name someone) WHO WAS KILLED YESTERDAY IN AFGHANISTAN. YOU DISRESPECT ME AND MY FELLOW SOLDIERS AND THE WORK WE DO FOR YOU EVERY DAY.”

I think that would have some effect. I really do. We should make this happen. Sean Hannity, see if you can’t get some higher up people on your show saying such a thing. And then we make it viral.

We’ve been in a hot Civil War for 16 years and two weeks.

Not sure. I guess I worry about silly things. Especially when I post comments designed to foment a backlash against Roger Goodell.

You’re right. But Trump needs an army of people behind him. I know we are there but he needs many courageous Americans. Also, we need a strong top military reaction to what the knee represents to the military, who is sacrificing for this flag right this second.

Obama’s America sprouting its tentacles. There is a plan and the plan continues successfully. We aren’t code red yet,but I would stay prepared. We are in uncharted territory as a country. This is not like the 60’s nor will it be like the Civil War generations ago.
