    Hey, I understand. You are a Trump supporter.
    Yep. You'll notice all the vitriol and venom from the Reichwingers will be directed at Kaep. There will be a few tokens "That cop shouldn't have done that" then more bashing the protesters than the cops. See link below for an example.

    Pic 2 shows a black football player kneeling, they do it all the time. It only becomes and issue when one knows when and why the action is taken.

    Once we know the facts about pic 1 it becomes not only offensive but a blatant display of police brutality and must be eradicated.

    Now let me ask you what became the focus of the 2nd pic? He was protesting the treatment of blacks as shown in pic 1, but his venue didn't being focus and attention on that issue as he supposedly intended. It became a matter of national pride. The left likes to say he made his point and brought attention to police brutality. Most conservatives disagree and say the issue became an example of ones of a lack of pride in ones nation. As I have said I have no problem with you remaining seated or not holding your hand over your heart that is your choice not to honor and to ignore the anthem as you wish. But to physically stand and drop to one knee is not ignoring the anthem it is a direct display of animosity to the anthem and what it stands for. I know you will disagree like all the other liberals. But you have my take on both
    Thank you for your take...I truly appreciate you taking the time do offer it.

    And I agree with you that I will disagree.

    I hope we can do it amicably.

    Yes. As the conservatives of yesteryear liked to repeat ad nauseum, "actions have consequences." Kaep paid for his with his career. Yet years later, the Reichwingers *still* have to dog pile on him and make up bullshit about how his kneeling was magically "disrespecting the dead who died for this country" -- when it had zero to do with that. Zero. As Christiefan pointed out the other day, the RWers want to use the Anthem and the flag as litmus tests for patriotism. If you don't bash Kaep too, you "hate America."

    But I suspect the things you "haven't seen"...you haven't seen not because they are not there, but because you are incapable or unwilling to see them."

    You oughta do something about that.
    Won't do much good if you've already decided (Or "suspect" how others you've labeled will respond and what we think...or what I've seen or not seen....)
    I think you might be surprised at what I've "done about that" ...and what "I've seen"...
    So in other word salad, you demand that ppl discuss the OP. When Frank says he will discuss it with you, you deflect to "another time, another thread."

    YOU don't want to discuss *anything* other than other ppl, mostly ppl here on JPP. Children have more cognizance of the issues today than you do. You exist here only to stir the pot, pile on others, and get attention.

    What a cutie. He looks so much like one of my grandsons! He still like to play soldier although his gun is a toy. He even has some sort of "combat vest" (sorry, forgot the real name) covered with pockets to store your ammo and stuff in -- *and* a WWI gas mask. He's hilarious.

    So you are the deciding factor on what a liberals action really means. You say there is zero evidence that his display had ZERO to do with disrespecting those that died for the country. Ok you two other than rumor that his taking a knee was nothing but a protest of police brutality of blacks. I put it to you that not one time has any protesters of police brutality taken a knee. If that is your magic symbol how come no one is doing it? Could it be your explanation is total BS?
    Owl, Christyfan if you two had served or had close family who had been in combat I bet you would be striking a different tone.

    The thread is asking if pictures offend. You were offended despite your denials.

    He was proud of his skill using the .22 semi-automatic rifle, but a POS LW douchebag called CPS on his parents and, literally, made a legal case out of it. In the end, it proved just how far the gun-banning Left was willing to go to enforce their morals upon others.

    https://jonathanturley.org/2013/03/2...omment-page-3/
    Shawn Moore is a certified firearms instructor for the National Rifle Association and a New Jersey hunter education instructor. He was proud of his son for recently passing his hunter’s permit course and posted this picture of his boy in camouflage holding his .22 rifle. A Facebook “friend” saw the picture and reported him to the New Jersey police and Dept. of Children and Families for child endangerment. Moore says that his home was raided, searched, and he was threatened with the loss of custody in response to the complaint.
    God bless America and those who defend our Constitution.

    I learned to shoot a .22 rifle when I was that kid's age. I was in NRA Father and Son competitions by 5th Grade. I continued in JROTC. Those skills helped me when I was in the Marine Corps. Why do Lefties hate the military?

    Now you may understand why so many people, if forced to choose between the Democratic candidate and the Republican one, will choose the Republican. Any party that supports imposing authoritarian rule over Americans and/or condemning anyone exercising their lawful rights as warmongers cannot ever be trusted to tell the truth.
