I don't think that having "no pride" in something is the casual complaint that you and others seem to think it is. I would think if I told a family member I had "no pride" in them that they would be pretty devastated. I don't think they'd say "Well, I need to make a small adjustment".

There is not a damned thing wrong with people who are bull shitters.

Donald Trump and Boilermaker Rick On Colin Kaepernick: "Maybe He Should Find A Country That Works Better For Him"
Barry Petchesky

What you are about to hear represents an utterly monumental lack of self-awareness on Donald Trump’s part—astonishing, I know.

Trump appeared on Dori Monson’s show on KIRO radio in Seattle this afternoon, and was asked about 49ers QB Colin Kaepernick’s decision not to stand for the National Anthem as a protest against racial oppression, police brutality, and all-around inequality in the United States. His answer:

“Well I have followed [the Kaepernick story], and I think it’s personally not a good thing. I think it’s a terrible thing. And you know, maybe he should find a country that works better for him, let him try, it won’t happen.”

Trump’s entire campaign is based around the idea that America is stumbling, or broken, or fundamentally subpar in some way—“Make America great again” and all that. His response to someone else who believes America needs to fix things is to tell him to look for another country. Incredible.

I’m reminded that “if you don’t like it, get out” was a common rejoinder to political protests of the Bush era—as if America were perfect, and supporting it means never acknowledging its faults, and if you want to call attention to its shortcomings and work to make it better, you must not truly love it. That refrain seemed to have thankfully disappeared from top-level political discourse. God bless Donald Trump for never failing to disappoint with the takes.

Kaepernick picked right fight in 'Star-Spangled Banner' beef
By Chuck Hobbs, contributor

Due to God's gift of curiosity, I have a rather extensive knowledge of American history and often write about the subject in my articles and blogs.


But the Colin Kaepernick "Star-Spangled Banner" controversy — one in which the embattled San Francisco 49ers quarterback has been blasted by internet trolls and racists ever since he chose to sit as the national anthem was played before his team's preseason game against the Green Bay Packers — compelled me to do some research, where I have learned the racist origins of that very song.
Consider these facts about Francis Scott Key, author of the national anthem:

If someone is going to get into the racism of the Star-Spangled Banner, at what point do they acknowledge that the Democrat party historically was the party of the Ku Klux Klan?

I'm sure there's more context to it. There would be follow-ups needed. Such as "pride ever or just now?"

Well, maybe Kaepernick should have provided more context too.

Don't worry Rick, regardless of what I and others think, you're in good company!

If you hate Laurence, then don't listen - don't comment. When he co-hosts the B&B show, take that day off ... listen to an old podcast of a Bernstein solo show and jerk off all day.

Well, maybe Kaepernick should have provided more context too.

Hasn't he made a few statements clarifying his intentions?

Why are you asking me? I wouldn't want to offend you with my posting style.

Weird, I see Dolphin looking in my asshole

I'm not offended. You just play dumb so well. You're one of the better posters, but you know what you're doing with the endless circles of debate.

Well I won't subject you to it then.

Who's talking republicans and democrats?

Generally speaking it's people like Obama and his wife who think it is this terrible place when they talk about the slaves building the White House. The people like Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton are always race baiting people into getting all worked up about something someone said or did. The Democrats cannot ever stop talking about slavery and oppression of blacks. It's like their calling card.

You're living in a country where they elected a president with no experience based on his skin color.

So, it is clear that Francis Scott Key, author of "The Star-Spangled Banner" and a man whom I and countless other Americans of all races were brainwashed into believing was a hero, was nothing of the sort; he was a slaveholding racist.


Has anyone in the history of the United States thought of Francis Scott Key as a hero?? He wrote some lyrics to the tune of an old irish drinking ballad. He's a trivia answer, not a hero... No one thinks otherwise.

I just want to know why people hold historical figures from the slavery era to post-Civil Rights Movement moral standards?

By today's standards, the morals of a pre-Reconstruction abolitionist were beyond even virulent racism, yet they are contrasted as heroes in the modern age.

I look forward to the building of the Colin Kaepernick Vocational and Technical Center where the focus is on getting inner city yute skilled training in those underserved careers while also putting his celebrity influence to work pressuring local businesses to hire the ones who complete the program. Then he can build the Kaepernick Police Re-Education Complex focusing on getting problem officers the proper training they need to deal with minorities.

Your last sentence seems to refute your original question.

Another irony of this "controversy" is that a lot of Trump supporters are telling a rich guy to leave the country because that rich guy is too critical of it.

While literally wearing a hat that says America is not great

Unless that you'd find similar shame in just about any country and therefore his "no pride" vote for the United States is stupid.

This was the whole point. Took a long time to get there

So you think kaep is being stupid?
