Not possible to stand up if you have no spine

Who would give an honest answer to pollsters on this question?

Leading Republicans do not seem to understand that George Floyd’s death was the excuse for the current crisis, not the cause of it.
That doesn't give them enough credit -- probably all of them are aware of this, but understand the consequences of having a backbone.

I’ve never witnessed a more spineless GOP in my life. We need to vote these people out. I thought we were improving, but it was just for show.

>>According to recent polls, 65% of all Americans now support Black Lives Matter (BLM).<<

Sorry, but I don’t believe a word of that.

I’m not!

BLM is a racist, terrorist organization intent on overthrowing the US government!

BLM is a black KKK!

And should be treated as such!

Without a spine walking erect and standing become problematic.

The article reminds me of Biden’s, “Stand up, Chuck!”

All these “polls” that claim to know what almost 2/3 of Americans think...I have never responded to a poll, nor would I. They do not know what anyone thinks beyond their butt-smooching echo chamber....all lapdogs of China.

Don’t answer the phone to an unknown number. Period.

Forget lying to pollsters, just don’t answer the phone. If the bastards leave a message (unlikely), then be warned.

I get at least ten such calls a day. Wakes me up from my nap. As an old f@rt, I resent that greatly.

The democrat controlled media deliberate miss portraying the six foot seven inch 200 plus pound Floyd as an innocent black who was being forceably restrained because he was black not because he was resisting arrest.When He was legitimately arrested for passing a counterfeit $20 dollar bill he was resisting arrest and was a threat if not secured. But the media was not mentioning his size or reporting that Floyd was removed from a squad car because he was acting up under the influence of drugs and also later was discovered to have COVID 19. Which suggests his physical condition may have led to his death which the media turned into a murder change and a charge of serious abuse by police because of police efforts that were tried to get him who under control.

If Obama had urged blacks to believe in the justice system and comply with the police would we be confronting his use of creating racial division now ?
The results of politically induced miss reporting incidents where blacks have resisted legitimate arrest began to be used earlier during and after the post Zimmmerman trial, then on to the Ferguson episode. Obama’s abuse of the “Bully Pulpit” which seemed to promote resistance to legitimate arrest led to black gangs attacking non blacks found innocently traversing black neighborhoods and to a score of murders or life changing injuries and later attacks of theft and vandalism on local businesses as well as attacks and murders of police officers during that period

People don’t even know what Marxist is. People are afraid to speak out as they can be ostracized or even fired.

Who supports BLM???? Fake, just like the polls. Many people are afraid to acknowledge they support Trump, because in this country, with the gestapo on full display, it is not safe to speak your mind, regarding; Trump, church, family, BLM, etc...

You know what gets me is that I have seen churches/denominations posting BLM images as a way to show support. Do they REALLY know what this founder is all about?
