For me, the only factor for who I vote for is who I think will do the best job leading the country and improving the lives of all Americans (with special emphasis on disadvantaged Americans). Maybe you and BigT could get a room and console each other on the state of my soul. ---

I admire your fortitude for starting this thread, and answering these questions, and I have come to the conclusion that you are a blithering idiot. You’re being a good sport, and the thread is entertaining, so I’m not seeing the asshole, but I’ll keep an open mind. ---

With all the talk about the NFL protests being an insult to the troops, why do conservatives not feel that waving the confederate flag is an insult to the troops? 364,000 Union troops died in the civil war, but the same people who get upset about NFL protests are perfectly fine with waving a flag devoted to the cause that killed 1/3 of a million US soldiers. In WW2, 405,000 US soldiers died, and I didn’t hear protests from these people about the neonazis waving the nazi flag in Charlottesville. Does anyone on the right consider this to be an issue? Then again, a lot of US soldiers died in Vietnam and Korea, but people are still free to wave the communist flag. ---

No. None of us do. Were you upset that at the DNC convention you almost could not FIND a flag? It was like they were embarassed about America or something. ---
