    So you don't think it's unpatriotic to consider Washington, or the founding, as negotiable. Well I do.

    Making accusations about critics of America has become a cottage industry for faux patriots and chicken hawks on the right. In that sense it's true that........."Patriotism is the last refuge of a scoundrel."

    You are exactly right. Only by recognizing our shortcomings and honestly addressing them can we make the US better.

    Holy Willful Blindness Batman! You're doing exactly what I am complaining about. What this Senator said was despicable. Instead of talking about it, you write as if it is some kind of excuse, that she served her country so we end up talking about her service rather than what she said. Again, calling our founding fathers "dead traitors" and that tearing down their statues rather than honoring them is worthy of consideration is despicable.
    That is NOT what is being discussed by the Left as they tear down and deface our nation. They are not just talking about a correctable imperfection but preaching hate and that we should destroy the US so that Marxists can create a more utopian world. What they don't realize is if successful they will tear down the USA and replace it with an impoverished 3rd world hell on earth where children dig through trash looking for something to eat. Death camps, gulags and killing fields. No thank you.

    Unpatriotic? My lord...no. Asinine? 100%.
    Sorry, I don't get worked up over statues. Material things aren't my thing. If I lost every material thing that I have in my life...home, car, clothes, etc, it wouldn't bother me, aside from the nuisance. I would just build a new home, get a new car, clothes, etc.
    I don't need a statue to know about history. Hell, I didn't even know the one of Lincoln in Boston existed till I saw the story about it being removed. Is it beyond moronic to take it down? Yup. But in the same respect I'm not going to get worked up over it. Life's too short to get bothered by certain things. Just my opinion.

    And you're trying to change the narrative to fit your agenda. There you go.

    The narrative is that a sitting US Senator spoke of this nation's founders as being "dead traitors" not worth defending that she's open to discussing tearing down statues of George Washington. We going to talk about how despicable these statements are or are you going to go back to talking about her identity (badly injured military veteran) which is not relevant.

    Tucker tells us she did. Can't find a clip of what he's saying yet but if he's lying she should sue him.

    Well if Carlson tells us she did then it MUST be true, right? No one has ever lied before.

    And he's on-target, not being intimidated by the toads trying to slime the entire nation.

    Well I'm not sure what you are even doing in this thread if you don't have any interest in any of the related topics, but the short of it, is that we have differing opinions on what's considered patriotic and what isn't. That's good enough for me.

    I’m here to state my opinion just like everybody else. In my opinion, the day I get upset over a statue is the day I eat a bullet.

    That meme is correct. Tucker called a veteran who lost her legs in combat for our Country, unamerican because she doesn't worship Tucker's messiah.

    Hating Trump is a not a qualification for anything, except possibly needing a mental health checkup.
    Numerous veterans suffer from extreme symptoms of PTSD for example. Don't confuse a military history as a qualification for office.

    With all due respect the notion that Duckworth gets to duck criticism because she's ex military is ridiculous. Judge her by her words not her lack of limbs.

    There was no bigotry on Carlson part. Nor has there ever been. This is just more of the leftists usual attempt to silence people whose ideas they don't like via false accusations.

    I do. Tucker ignores her actions that back up her words then attacks her words and them claims she's hiding behind her actions. He just has words and no actions to back them up so he has to try and get her actions out of the discussion.

    The ones with this "America, love it or leave it" mentality who believe that criticism is bad are horribly in denial which prevents them from fulfilling the American promise as laid out in the preamble of the Constitution. They're like drug addicts, until they can face the truth they can never get better no matter how hard people try to help them.

    Saying blacks are coming to get you is not racist? How about some of these?
    https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/briannasacks/tucker-carlson-controversy-racist-women-clips
    "Everybody knows that Barack Obama would still be in the state Senate in Illinois if he were white," Carlson said.
    "How is he black, for one thing? He has one white parent, one black parent,” Carlson said in 2006. Two years later, he added, "I don’t know how black he is, but I’m sure he’s a good basketball player, he says he is, anyway.”
    October 2008, the conservative personality called Iraq "a crappy place filled with a bunch of, you know, semiliterate primitive monkeys," which is why it "wasn't worth invading." Two years earlier, he told the hosts that Iraqis should "just shut the **** up and obey us."
    "'It's these lunatic Muslims who are behaving like animals, and I'm going to kill as many of them as I can if you elect me.' If a Democrat were to say that, he would be elected king, OK?" Carlson said.
    "I mean, I love women, but they're extremely primitive, they're basic, they're not that hard to understand,"

    Self serving claptrap. Criticism of the country is one thing insisting that we tear it down and start over is quite another.

    It's BuzzFeed that would mean you're several paragraphs short of the complete context of any of those statements.

    Why? Jefferson himself said we probably should periodically.
