I haven't been able to watch anything Roseanne since she butchered the National Anthem at the Padres double header in 1990. I was there for that fiasco.
The National Anthem is "butchered", EVERY TIME it is cheapened and profaned, by being coopted to lend importance and legitimacy to something as trivial as a sporting event.
Our National Anthem is as close to sacred, as any music employed by a secular nation such as our own. It should not be degraded, by being used as filler for profane events.
What Roseanne Barr did, was therefore no worse than what happens, every time the Anthem is used in such a setting.
Why do people ignore the fact that if it weren't for the dems, the kkk probably would never had existed.
One cannot help who supports them. Trump had disavowed them far more than hillary ever did.
Why is it so difficult to comprehend that the two parties switched stances a long time ago. The right became the left and the left became the right. The label that stood for conservatism became liberal and vice versa. How many ways do those on the right need this explained before the concept finally adheres to the part of the brain that controls cognitive thought?

It must have been difficult for you to actually address what I'd said, which is why you didn't even bother. Instead, you deflected to something I did not say. (nice personal attack you got going there)

This what you said...

If it has an interpretation other than labeling the current day Democratic party as a party of racism and White Supremacy please share.
Personal attack? Really?..I actually made it rather impersonal as I made my observation and opinion all inclusive.

"if it weren't for the dems, the kkk probably would never had existed"
My comment was aimed at an action that the dems had done more than 100 years ago, which was the founding of the kkk. There was nothing in my post that even hinted to current day dems, or repubs for that matter. Are you seriously trying to deny that it was the dems who had founded the kkk? wow!

A local conservative host named Todd Herman is fond of saying, "where there's a double standard, there's a hidden agenda." It took me a while to figure that one out, but this is a good example. Why does the left, including Barack Obama, accept a guy like Sharpton into their bosom despite his lengthy history of inappropriate words and actions?
They accept him because there is a hidden agenda. In the case of Sharpton, his agenda is his bank account. In the case of Barack Obama and other left wingers, their agenda is that they don't want forward progress towards MLK's dream. They benefit politically from continued racial division. And Sharpton is useful in advancing that agenda. My hope is that as time goes on, more Democrats will figure that out.
