Just a bit. I don't have to assume advocacy for a neo-Nazi's viewpoint, but I do have to support their right to advocate whatever squalid views they hold. Supporting free speech is a not a passive act, especially when the views in question are aberrant.

It is government's core responsibility to protect those rights against other citizens. When it fails to do so, as it has routinely done for years on campuses, citizens should take an active role in the defense of rights. We have a long history of forcing government to execute its sworn duty.

Nobody has to support free speech, the government has restriction on themselves via Constitution to not restrict free speech.

I wonder if she spent a small fortune to purchase tickets for an NFL game?

The fans can also Protest, by not buying tickets and dumping NFL RedZone (I dropped the RedZone) and NFL Sunday Ticket, and by not watching Nfl games on TV, and therefore spare themselves the pain of watching an hour's worth of stupid commercials.

Somewhat agree about the ACA. Doesn't need to be repealed, just one slight adjustment. Remove the tax penalty associated with it and it will implode quickly.

That should be the way it works, but congress strongly believes in deficit spending, so it would simply limp along and increase the debt. In fact, somebody would come along with magic numbers to "prove" that the penalty not paid would increase revenue.

Probably the CBO would move the non-covered, non-penalized players out of consideration so that they could show that the number of people not covered by Obamacare decreased rather than increased. DC is without peer in lying with numbers.

Athletes are kneeling during the National Anthem to point the imperfections in American Society and Trump is going to bash them when he was elected on the MAGA platform which was basically that America isn't great. Attacked McCain for not being a war hero.

Keep hating. He keeps winning. Its really sad that some of you actually think these athletes are doing something that they feel truly sincere about.

It's F****d up as hell that you are outraged. I think I will join one of your meetings to see what all this white power is all about. Should I bring the stars and bars or the southern cross?

Who said he felt oppressed?

Tonight, I'm taking a knee for America; but not just one knee, I'm taking both knees. Both knees in prayer for our planet, our future, our leaders of the world and our globe. Amen .

Lol, let me get this straight. The blm is just a bunch of whiners but when you whine it's because the left always gets there way and you're fed up. The inability to grasp the hypocrisy in your proposition is astonishing.

The BLM is nothing but a racist violence group, there is no discussion as to that, what they are is a complete hypocrisy for what they say they stand for. Any defense of that nonsense is a waste of time to debate. Those people need to go to jail if they are planning violence or they carry out violence or trespass. People are tired of the cry wolf mentality, out of context distortion of reality... that is why these people need safe spaces... because they don't want to live in reality. Now, people are able to disagree but there is no one to disagree with -- because nobody cares, why? They believe you are full of ****.

At this point, nobody gives a **** why the players won't stand -- they don't care!!!!!

If you can't understand these simple concepts, and you can disagree that people should care -- its really too bad. I was probably taught not to cry wolf when I was probably 4 years old. Its alright to have grievances, nobody is saying people shouldn't have issues or can't -- but this crap is long in the tooth and people are no longer buying it.

I would not spend 1 second of my life trying to understand those BLM people or help them in their distorted view of the world.

I will discuss this with you but no, I do not care about those people and their delusional grievances.
