Oh Gawd. The Faux news created war on Christmas. Why isnt it pointed out that GOP led and supported Corporations use the holidays for greed. I saw the first Christmas commercial today! 3 months out. And they make families work Thanksgiving and Christmas eve all in the name of the all mighty dollar.
Guess what... Muslim, Jewish, and whatever other religions there are, are just as legitimate as yours. I stilll celebrate Christmas even though I have proudly converted to atheism. But to me its just a special time of year with decorations and lights and family and Rudolph! (and Frosty.. cant forget him.. he gets jealous)
I agree.. We need more focus on our history. The white mans genocide of the native americans (which was often done in the name of Christianity since the Indians wouldnt convert) . The way christian white men lied to and went back on every treaty with the native americans. The slave trade and how slaves were treated. Jim Crow laws, lynchings, The Salem Witch trials and other shams of justice throughout our history. This all needs to be taught and learned so maybe we can learn from our mistakes in the past and stop acting like our history of human rights is so much better then other places.
You mean like this?
âHeâs not a war hero,â said Trump. âHe was a war hero because he was captured. I like people who werenât captured.â
Respect for the troops is rampant. We have been at war for 16 years now. And while there is war fatigue I have seen no disrepect for the troops. And no.. the protests in the NFL arent disrepecting the troops no matter how much you want to believe it is.
I live in Decatur Il. One of the sailors that died on the USS McCain was from a local highschool here. When his body was brought back there were fire trucks parked on every overpass he passed under on his trip home. The high school he went to honored him in a moving tribute before the next football game and the next away game, that high school also honored him.
One Protest does not mean the flag isnt respected. This protest hasnt reduced any patriotism. I love how conservatives dont want to focus on the problem. If cops werent killing black people and not facing any repercussions, if we werent seeing racists described as good people by the racist in chief, If Black people were truly equal in this country... the protests would go away. Why wont you even admit there is a problem that needs to be addressed?
Oh and this was all a Trump created thing to distract from real issues, Before Trump opened his mouth (and possibly broke the law) there was like a handful of NFL players kneeling. It wasnt even a headline anymore. But he had to blast people in a profane manner because he knew it would make headlines. I wonder if Putin gave him the idea.
