    Far too many liberals live off their emotions with the dominating emotion being hate. And far too many liberals see anything that’s patriotic as something they need to hate.

    When was the last time you saw a liberal praise America or be proud of it? Ask a lib how he shows his patriotism and see what answer you get.

    I often wonder why they stay here.

    Apparently, this is not the same person whose sunglasses fell on the street before. Maybe the woman attacked another person before Tara pinned her down.

    Good question. Might be a good topic in the Politics Opinions section. Sometimes, I am baffled at the lack of respect to the flag and the veterans. Shades of Vietnam.

    She came to the group waiving flags and went on to say that they are antagonizing HER in HER town by doing as much. If you watch the full video at the end she goes on an anti-Trump rant.

    Hope this deranged leftist is fired from her job and is culturally enriched in jail.

    They show their patriotism by crapping on police cars.

    Was this demonstration started by those Proud Boy morons? They don’t even live there. They just go around the country, shoot their mouths off and start trouble. These imbeciles need to get a job.

    Remember when Pelosi said protesting was patriotic, as in burning a city and getting violent? And we have a few folks on this board who said not saying the pledge, burning our flag or crapping on it, and kneeling for our anthem or calling it a racist song is patriotic. I often wonder what went wrong with those folks.

    Freedom of speech isn't limited to home towns guy.

    Being Patriots, they probably do have jobs, and spent their day off celebrating our veterans-perhaps that outrages you.

    In the end, the teacher became the student.

    These are the people who are susceptible to propaganda, to marxism, and prone to violence.

    Its not a pretty picture.

    Free speech for some or "selected members" is Soviet Union style tactics. You don't favor free speech for some, do you?

    They are a bunch of drug addled morons who couldn’t possibly hold down a job. Read their website. They get brownie points and merit badges for getting into violent conflicts and beat each other up for initiation. They are like the crips or bloods.

    Here is the flaw in in your post. Anyone supporting Vetetans should never be attacked or otherwise molested. If the flag waivers were truly supporting Veterans that is a good thing. If they were supporting Trump that is a bad thing. Why?? I will tell you why. Trump's had no respect for Veterans. Proof you ask! Ok here goes.

    Trump attacked John MCCain 's military service because he disagreed with MCCain politically on some things. It is an act of a scum to attack a Veteran's service.

    Trump who never served even for one second lied and said that his time when his father forced him to attend a military themed high school was like military boot camp. Any one of us who actually graduated from military boot camp will have to vomit upon hearing Trump lie like that about us Veterans who served.

    Trump insulted the Purple Heart Medal when he dangled a Purple Heart Medal which a fan let him have( yes you can purchase a Purple Heart Medal ). Upon grabbing the Purple Heart Medal Trump dangled it and said " I always wanted one of these". Really Trump you "always wanted one of these"? In ask you guys here do not know this but anyone killed due to enemy action is awarded a Purple Heart Medal postumously. During a mortar attack in Vietnam a 80 mm mortar round hit three of us. An Airman about 4 or 5 feet to my left was killed by that shell. The other two of us sustained different degree of non lethal injuries. All three of us were awarded thecPurple Heart. So Mr. POTUS you " always really wanted one of these " ) Purple Heart Medal..
    Whose Purple Heart Medal did you "really" want Mr. POTUS? The one that my friend who lived got? Did you "really" want mine? Or did you want the guy 's Purple Heart Medal who was a few feet to my left?

    If I knew his name ( the KIA) I could put you in touch with his family and maybe they will let you fondle and dangle it and say " I always wanted one of these"? You are not allowed to even see mine much less touch it and my oldest grand daughter asked to have it when that time comes she will protect it from those like you who never served. Her dad my son in law served in Iraq.

    So no , no Veteran should ever support this POTUS.

    I don't think Trump was disrespecting anyone with his purple heart comment.

    Trump has also fired many of the "problem staff" at the VA and as a result its satisfaction numbers are up.

    Today he appeared at the 100th anniversary of the NYC Veterans day parade...Trump used his own money to save that parade 20+ years ago and its better than ever.

    Apologies, but either you're grossly misinformed or you're blinded by your ideology. There are plenty of left leaning veterans. I'd venture that most on the left actually love their country as much as those on the right. Just because a person's opinion differs from yours on what the country's policies should be or how it could be improved doesn't mean that they love their country any less than you.

    Please note that this isn't a commentary on any of the individuals that participated in this particular incident. I suspect that there's probably plenty of blame to go around. These situations seem to get heated and emotional more often than not, but blanket statements like the one above do nothing but illustrate your misconceptions about at least a third of your fellow citizens.

    Well, the progressive in the linked article thought it'd be a good idea to carry an American flag during an event, didn't go so well.

    Ok, so show me how liberals display their patriotism. Kneeling for the anthem and supporting the ones who do is not patriotic. Same thing for the people who spit, dump on and burn our flag. All of that is deliberate and intentional.

    If you’d like, you can show me examples from the last democrat convention or any one of the democrat presidential rallies.

    You may honestly not think that Trump was disrespecting anyone when he dangled that Purple Heart but here is the situation. The Purple Heart incident was not the one and only wrongfull action or words against Veterans or the military he committed. He equated his pre school days with serving in the military and doing military boot camp. He is wrong and disrespectful. He equating the fact that he a aided STD's during the 1960's with service in Vietnam. Really? Of course the MCCain incident preceded the Purple Heart crime.

    I have been at the VA for 7-8 years now. I have seen the improvements over that time. The first satisfaction jump I saw was in fall of 2014 and 2015. We implement the the Veterans Choice program in 2014 and fullboat boat in 2015. That program is high light- if a Vet lives over 40 miles from a VA facility he can choose a civilian doc or facility. If we do not have the type of care orvresourse the Vet needs he goes to a civilian doc or facility. There is more but that is basic. Not the dates of roll out and implementation. We also had to make contact and set up an appoint within so many days or the Vet can go to a civilian doc or facility.

    The Veterans Choice program was renamed and tweaked this past year.
    The tweaking was minor but needed as we suggested and name changed to VA MISSION.
    Note what year this is.

    Shulkin the VA Director Trump nominated was fired I would say a year ago. I do not know what effect that had. There were other firings but that did not start until late 2017 early 2018. So I cannot say that Trump was the cause of satisfaction.

    Since I was here I was heavily involved with working to reduce no shows. No shows is when a vet fails to show up for a scheduled appointment and fails to call. When I started here the no show rate for some departments was almost. 22- 24,%.

    Think about that ! One out five Vets failed to show up for their appointments. That means another Vet who needs an appointment is made to wait, to suffer, to experience pain, lets. cancer grow , and Vets died waiting.

    In our department we reduced no shows down to 7.4 %. How? We call the Vet to remind him/her. We text them if they agree and of course we have sent out a letter and the computer calls and reminds them.

    Bottom line is that satisfaction has improved slowly but needs more.
    I need to repeat again satisfaction has improved over time and there was no jump due to Trump it has kept getting slowly better.

    As to the Vets parade in NY I will take your word for it. Is he still contributing?

    Oh you did see the court slammed Trump for raising money falsely for Vets and using the money for his campaign. You did see that, right. A few days ago. Stealing money donated for Vets, that shows real love and respect for Vets, right??

    How about if I just see if I can find a picture of myself in uniform saluting the American flag. I'm an independent, but I've certainly tended more left than right over my lifetime. That said, it's silly to think that to be a patriot you have to publicly display it.

    As to kneeling for the anthem, I'm pretty sure that's something that I'd never do (although it I had to suffer some of the indignities that African Americans do in this country on a regular basis I may change my tune), but it's my belief that protecting the rights of people to peacefully protest in any way that they see fit is one of the things that everyone who chooses to serve is sworn to protect. I tend to believe that people who choose to protest this way don't hate their country. They just want it to do better.

    As an aside, there's at least one study that I found at the top of my search results that indicates that among younger veterans about a third identify as democrat and about half identify as republican with the rest calling themselves independent. If you look at the population of veterans as a whole though those percentages are reversed which means that older veterans are more likely to identify as democrats.
