There are several Us vs Them situations,



like Flat Earthers vs Science, Trump supporters vs sane people, Climate Change believers vs 'head up their ass crowd', FOXSheep vs the Informed Citizenry and the 'God Is On Our Side' (so we can can do no wrong) crew vs everyone else.
Now we have a new divide, though not all that surprising.
Colin Kaepernick took a knee, at great personal cost, both to his wallet and reputation, to protest the inequality he saw, mostly because of the YUUUGE number of documented shootings of unarmed black men by white cops, with ABSOLUTELY NO CONSEQUENCES for the shooters. This happened MANY times and we all saw the videos.
Now, the 'head up their ass crowd' is calling for 'Boycott the NFL', cuz they choose NOT too recognize the origin and purpose of the demonstration.
They would rather make it about, 'They hate our country', following the lead of the Liar in Chief, who will do/say anything to keep the focus on HIM.
These sheep fall into the category of 'I will support my country NO MATTER WHAT', and are truly dangerous to civilized society. If the US wants to start a war, based on LIES, as in Viet Nam and then again in Iraq, these gullible 'patriots' blindly wave the flag and say, 'WHATEVER, the current leader of our country wants to do, I'll support it',  instead of taking the difficult path and recognizing, 'This is WRONG', and just because it's done under an American flag doesn't make it right.
There has always been and will always be, Us vs Them.
Sometimes, like the election of a vain, arrogant, egotistical, unqualified pathological liar, or an NFL player making a huge personal sacrifice to point out widespread racial injustice, it just makes the YUUUGE gap between 'us and them; easier to see, though it is always there.
Bottom line, I'm seeing who 'them' is more clearly now, and am SOOO happy I don't have to associate with THEM, so I'm not going to.
Who knows, ignorance may be contagious....

Because I'm sorta stuck in an Anti-Bush rant.. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D99NHb6B03s Can you imagine all those rapper stars with these things? Of course, they'd have to have theirs with 'da bling! Can't be standard, gawd no! And of course, Britney's gotta have one in her car. Paris with her pooch totin' one on the red carpet at some fete. The boys in 'da hood will have a field day on their daily drive bys. P Diddy will wear his on a chain around his neck. You suppose there will be special pockets made in jeans for these things? Trailer trash folks will have 'em camouflaged. Jeff Foxworthy will have to come up with some fresh Redneck stuff. Think George W. will get one, each for the twins? Don't forget Dickie boy for those spur of the moment huntin' trips. Of course Ma Babs will have hers with pearls. Think it will affect the Royals? I can imagine Charles and Camilia on their fox hunt...........ah yes, and Prince Philip, too, must include the

Great 'bargains' at the local Sprouts store

where we picked up asparagus and baby back ribs. Carol and I went for the same stuff (serarately, today), cuz it is so good, AND a great price. Had it for dinner tonight. WOW. One of my fav dinners, as the ribs start out in the crock pot, then finish on the grill, with fresh asparagus. (and bread pudding for dessert) I LOVE this time of year...

You think the Repub brand is tarnished now?

Just wait 'til Bonehead leads us all over the cliff, to save his 2% buddies having to pay a little higher tax. The Pubs keep thinking the American public is stupid, and they can get away with their phony political crap. They keep forgetting we're not all a bunch of FOXNews sheep, who'll swallow whatever swill is shoveled to them. A once proud party, like a beast in it's death throes, striking out to harm whatever's close, threatening to shut the gov't down, (again), over the debt limit, which is just paying the bills they already ran up. Political hacks, pretending to be patriots. So sad...
