My allegiance is to God, and Him alone. I can't, and won't place any other entity on the same level, not even the country of my birth.

You don't answer a question with a question. I will assume that like most things, he didn't mean it especially since no one will address it.

Trump said you should be fired for protesting on the job. Did he mean it or not?

Irrelevant. Peaceful opinion.

So you like peaceful displays but not peaceful opinions?

Don't you feel even a little bad not being able to address Trump's statements directly?

I will when you explain how the statement wasn't peaceful.

I hope you were just as concerned when President Obama and Michelle Obama took different flights going to the same place one hour apart.....to the tune of one million taxpayer dollars.

Pence, like his cohorts in the religious right, trade in dishonesty. A stunt like this is nothing more than a dishonest act. To do something under one pretense when you are actually acting on another. When they engage in politics they trade in dishonesty and lying. Makes him the perfect match for Trump.

Ever wonder why the Religious Right learns to couch their religious views as something else. Transgender surgery is too expensive for the military to pay for, Birth control pills are too expensive for tax payers, children are better adjusted when when the parents are same sex, all false pretenses. these are religious views and have nothing to do with economics or parenting. Beware of anything Pence does, he trades in dishonesty.

Yes it's amazing that they are alright with wife beaters and other felons but people take issue with the NFL over a non-violent protest. I recall a Chicago Bears Lineman, Tank Williams getting a release from prison to participate in the superbowl. Yes some very lofty standards.
