If you ask the people who watch football to choose between their country and the right for black criminals to violently resist arrest without consequences, guess which way they'll go?

Nope, you conservatards are wrong about him. You voted in a con man who will sell you out, Pelosi/Schumer deal? Where's your wall and coal jobs dumbasses? At least liberals know a con man when we see one.
Bill Maher, who is somewhat of an asshole, said this about Fergus being a New York con man: "When he says that he loves you, what that means is that he found something in middle America that he had run out of in New York: suckers."
Explain Barry then??? The name is Mister Obama to you, knave. The only explanation you'll get is you witnessed a true gentleman politician like America has never seen. If you did not embrace the man for what he is and stands for- you lose - again.
Explain Barry then??? ------------- A sane practical politician and not a failed businessman. Explains a lot. And that was after 8 years of another really stupid republican president. Republicans love them some stupid.
Oh, and also McCain chose a bimbo as his running mate so America didn't want another idiot one lack of a heartbeat away from the WH. Well, at least most sane and rational Americans didn't want that.
Donald Trump’s son-in-law and close adviser, Jared Kushner, used a private email account alongside his official White House account to exchange messages with other administration officials, according to reports.
I'm amazed at how many people worshiping a flag don't seem to comprehend what it supposedly stands for…the words to the pledge allegiance to the flag that is. Most are like people in a trance just repeating words that a hypnotist tells them to repeat. Why do some folks claim to honor it so much and claim it as an American symbol of freedom, but want to pick and choose who can exercise those rights of freedom? They completely ignore that word ALL at the end of the sentence.
"I pledge allegiance to the Flag and the Republic for which it stands, one nation, indivisible, with liberty and justice for ALL."
Did the definition to liberty change? Last time I looked in a dictionary liberty defined is: 1. a. The condition of being free from restriction or control. b. The right and power to act, believe, or express oneself in a manner of one's own choosing. c. The condition of being physically and legally free from confinement, servitude, or forced labor. 2. Freedom from unjust or undue governmental control. 3. A right or immunity to engage in certain actions without control or interference: the liberties protected by the Bill of Rights.
Liberty stands for the same thing that those NFL players are exercising. Yet Trump wants to deny those black players their right?
A phrase in that allegiance says, "One nation under God". When did people make the flag and a song their god?
Another word in that pledge is "indivisible" meaning incapable of undergoing division. Hahaha! That word might as well be a punch line in a joke. This country is so divided until it might be too far gone to be repairable. Trump has not made it any better. In fact, he makes it worse every time he opens his big mouth. Kim Jong Un pegged Trump right. He’s definitely a dotard. Trump is all talk. Because N. Korea is a small country, he thinks he can bully him. Kim Jong Un isn’t playing. He’s serious.
The last phrase in that pledge is “justice for all”. However, black people have been denied justice over and over since 1615.
To justify their racism, they claim that the NFL players are disrespecting the vets. That's some total B.S. unless this country has been lying to Americans all along when they claimed that the soldiers were fighting for our freedoms. Every war has always been to keep us free or fighting for our freedom. At least that's what we've told by our government. I'd hate to think that some of my family and other people lost their loved ones because of a lie. Or were they only fighting for white folks freedom? If that's so, it's a lot of black people and other people of color who lost their lives in a battle that wasn't theirs to fight.

- Granny, you and I are probably of the same generation, and I love reading your posts because 99% of what you say, I also have always believed, even when I was "taught" otherwise. ((I do have to point out that, although I think you are 100% correct re: the things that certain people have made into their 'gods', the "under God" phrase was only added to the Pledge during the McCarthy era for propaganda reasons.)) - Anyway, the sad fact is that the US has been at war for most of our history. Some of the wars were truly defensive, but as time went on, a hell of a lot of blood - all of which is red - has been spilled for an increasing number of battles which only served corporatist agendas. - As PilotX accurately observed, "Certain people want to whitewash history claiming [...] teaching the true history of this country is somehow sowing division." - Exactly. They very often are the same people who lack the intellectual honesty and/or competence to comprehend the difference between unproveable religious beliefs, and Science based upon testing observations and having results and conclusions re-tested by others under varying conditions so as to ascertain the veracity of those results and conclusions. - Democracy, like science, requires participants capable of rationality, mental discipline, and a willingness to be as unbiased as possible. The opposite is the realm of authoritarianism as well as religion ((since religions are man-made, and specifically, made by *men*, whereas Spirit comes from the Creator)). - The American Ideal was "Liberty and Justice for all", not because it's easy and comfortable, but, even aside from being morally and ethically correct, because it's the only path to long-term social stability, peace, and prosperity. - Some people understand those things deeply, regardless of whether they do or don't have the words to express it. - And, sadly for us, for humanity in general, and for all living creatures, far far too many have the words, but those words are empty, without meaning, or worse, mere lies used to deceive others. And, for all that such people prattle about the Bible, and about being "Christians", one of the many - VERY many - things they simply ignore is this part of the message: 1 Corinthians 13:1 "If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am only a ringing gong or a clanging cymbal. 2 If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have absolute faith so as to move mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. 3 If I give all I possess to the poor and exult in the surrender of my body, but have not love, I gain nothing. 4 Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. 5 It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no account of wrongs. 6 Love takes no pleasure in evil, but rejoices in the truth. 7 It bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. 8 Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be restrained; where there is knowledge, it will be dismissed. 9 For we know in part and we prophesy in part, 10 but when the perfect comes, the partial passes away."
- I anticipate the howling and braying that will respond to the above with the usual lies and baseless accusations ((despite the Commandment against bearing false witness)), but it's nothing more than hatred attempting to destroy all that is not hatred, and malicious ignorance attempting to silence all that is not malicious ignorance.

"Real talk: Daniel Rubin has a great little piece up wherein he chats with The Field Negro, the Philly-based blogger who sharply ponders all things black on a daily basis. (Seriously, if you’ve never checked in with TFN, you should: Its author, Wayne Bennett, is a fantastic read who can cut through bullshit like a hot knife through butter, which is a far grosser analogy than I wanted to make, but there you have it.)" ~Philebrity~
"One of the most precocious and hilarious Black political minds on the net. Ive been a long-time fan!" ~Asad Malik~
"..While most of what he writes is tongue-in-cheek, his space is a safe house for candid discussions about race, especially in the comments section, where people of all colors meet." ~~Daniel Rubin, "The Philadelphia Inquirer"~~
"To white people, Bennett's musings are like kitchen-table talk from a kitchen they may otherwise never set foot in. To African Americans, he is part of a growing army of black Internet amateurs who have taken up the work once reserved for ministers and professional activists: the work of setting a black agenda, shaping black opinion and calling attention to the state of the nation's racial affairs."
~~Richard Fausset, "L.A. Times"~~~
"That's why I love the blog "Field Negro" so much. Field, as he's known to his fans, has the sense of reality that it takes to call out the (CowPuckey) of blame beating by those who are in positions of power and their lackeys. Because of his handle and his unabashed way of writing about racial issues, Field is often cited as a "Black blogger." What he is, however, is a first-class detector of blame deflection and an excellent student of history. If you want to write about the past and future of repression there's really no other perspective to take - which is why everyone should read Field."

"Half a century after Little Rock, the Montgomery bus boycott and the tumultuous dawn of the modern civil rights era, the new face of the movement is Facebook, MySpace and some 150 black blogs united in an Internet alliance they call the AfroSpear.
Older, familiar leaders such as Rev. Jesse Jackson, Rev. Al Sharpton and NAACP Chairman Julian Bond, are under challenge by a younger generation of bloggers known by such provocative screen names as Field Negro, thefreeslave and African American Political Pundit. And many of the newest struggles are being waged online." ~Howard Witt-The Chicago Tribune~
"I had no idea, for example, of the extent of the African-American blogging world out there and its collective powers of dissemination.But now, after reading thousands of anguished, thoughtful comments posted on these blogs reflecting on issues of persistent racial discrimination in the nation's schools and courtrooms, what's clear to me is that there's a new, "virtual" civil rights movement out there on the Internet that can reach more people in a few hours than all the protest marches, sit-ins and boycotts of the 1950s and 60s put together." ~Chicago Tribune Reporter, Howard Witt~
