teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"

Why is this surprising? Since the days of the Moral Majority, the Republican Party has been obsessed with forcing people to comply with empty, meaningless, rituals.

Boru

He's a super president, he can do it all.

Not quite. It seems he is powerless to make this "Russia fake news" thing go away, no matter how many distractions and smokescreens he tosses out. He can shovel all the shit he wants at his rallies (no doubt his supporters will continue to happily eat it up), but the walls are closing in.

And he knows it.

At the end of the day the NFL is a private organization. The NFL has no rules regarding the national anthem and what players have to do during it. The NFL can change that if they so wish. If Republicans likes supporting corporations so much, they should let the NFL make that decision.

That's not what the knuckle-draggers want to hear though. 

They are the "my country right or wrong" crowd.

I forgot the name of that right wing gun nutter famous on youtube who was flipping out over Starbucks not putting Jesus/Christmas or crosses on their cups.
