well,

after all


It is the soldier,
who salutes the flag,
who serves under the flag,
and whose coffin is draped by the flag,
who allows the protester to burn the flag.

So I am not really surprised that a combat vet will defend the right of first amendment of all Americans - including the ones who support Donald Trump.

I think Donald is trying to get liberals to go crazy over this and make themselves look worse than they already did. And he has the media dancing like monkeys to his tune again.
I get upset when anyone argues to trample on our rights. I understand that Trump trolls and in the bigger picture I am O.K. with that BUT it's never cool to make comments, even trolling comments about jailing people for exercising their rights.

No, Hillary was not a liberal. Hillary was just another in a long line of power hungry narcissists that would say on any given day what she felt would further the cult of Hillary.

Hillary was more than happy to trample on any right and no where does that fall under the label of "liberal".

This I agree.

Trump though, I am not sure if he is really trolling. Maybe he is serious about it and if this is the case, it would be pretty scary.

"Liberals" do. Many who who are labeled "liberal" do not.

It doesn't matter what she is really.

Clinton made it evident that she is an unrepentant militarist whose bloodlust, combined with her longstanding interest in promoting American business interests, ties her to the U.S. imperial project of the last century and one-half.

BTW, recalling an earlier post which I'm not going to bother looking up, I never did get a response about when it was that we use to salute the flag in schools.

Seems Trump is "labeled"a republican and a President elect and he doesn't.
