Right?! Total bait & switch.

Damn, you people are sensitive. This has folks here more triggered than a tumblr special snowflake being told that there are only two genders.

The truth is often an offensive thing to those with a vested interest in maintaining a status quo built upon not seeing it.

I've always got more time to waste.

But only if you are freedoming correctly.

Luckily for me I found a job I love (driving a truck) and it pays me very well. Gotta say I am happier making a lot money than not making that much.

Marxists despise self thinking individuals. That's why they have taken over the schools. Sheep are much easier to control. Though I am surprised the right gave up control of the schools so easily. They have the same interests in an unthinking, easily manipulated population. I mean that's why they designed the public school system the way they did after all.

The leftists think I'm some sort of crazy right winger because I simply suggest that people should be free. The right wingers think I'm some sort of crazy leftist for the very same reason. Neither one realizes that they are the same as the other. As for hopping on a plane, I think I'll just stay put because the government is the one that sucks. I'm just gonna keep asking "why not try freedom instead?"

While on the whole I agree with this, I view the black community as the proverbial canary in the coal mine. For myriad reasons the effects of government actions are more pronounced there. What's happening there is coming to a neighborhood near you.

Right?! The amount of folks who talk about valuing freedom and then turn around and justify, excuse, and defend the legitimacy of an entity that makes them less free with every passing day is astounding isn't it? That at is what you meant,, right?

See, I just see a whole lot of folks exercising their right to speak their conscience. Some hold one view, some another. I haven't really seen anyone attempting to use the force of the government to silence anyone on this subject. So, any claims that anyone is "repressing free speech" are just a spurious argument used to deflect against criticisms of their position, regardless of what that position is.

Why should those who condemn Kaepernick be free of condemnation themselves? Aren't their words just as open to dissection and analysis and his?

Last night, Kaepernick clarified that too: “I have great respect for the men and women that have fought for this country. I have family, I have friends that have gone and fought for this country." And then, Kaepernick explained the tragic hypocrisy: “This country isn’t holding up their end of the bargain… men and women that have been in the military have come back and been treated unjustly, and have been murdered by the country they fought for, on our land. That’s not right.” No. That’s not right. It’s criminal. Walter Scott, killed by officer Matthew Slager on video, was a US Veteran. So was India Kager, Kenneth Chamberlain and others. Scott was not only shot while running away, but the original police report was falsified so Slager could “get away with murder." Slager, who is still awaiting trial, wasn’t just a “bad apple,” he was part of a police cover-up. Slager never honored Scott’s past military service. He murdered him. A flag does not inherently represent soldiers. That is a lifetime of political brainwashing talking. Claiming Kaepernick’s act as an insult to soldiers is as logically twisted as claiming standing up for the flag honors Micah Johnson and Gavin Long — the two military veterans who killed police in Dallas and Baton Rouge. Neither statement makes any damn sense."

"If they take football away, my endorsements from me, I know that I stood up for what's right." - Colin Kaepernick How many of you are willing to risk your livelihood, take an unpopular stance for liberty, speak out against injustice, and stand up for what's right? This gentleman also makes a very solid point.

My response to that will be something along the lines of "if you don't gtf away for me the only thing I'm going to be hiding is my ____ in your ____!"

Cash=anonymity=freedom. Even if the government eliminated cash people would develop some sort of alternative hard-currency or just use straight barter. The ability to use cash or hard-currency to hide purchases from the prying eyes of the government is a feature, not a bug.

Jury duty is one of the ways in which folks can do the most good in society. It isn't just the juror's right, but his/her duty to judge not only the guilt or innocence of the accused but the justness of the law itself. If there is no victim there is no crime and 'society' can't be a victim. Any opportunity one can take to keep the state from stealing from folks or locking them in cages shouldn't be wasted.

Me too. Then when I got in here and read the thread I was all like:
