Why? He clearly lied about the kids waiting at the bus stop in front of the offending sign.[/quote]
And what was the beach house flag in response to? It’s so empty.[/quote]

“The Times somehow fails to let readers know that the flag is a longtime symbol of independence; that it was designed by George Washington’s secretary; was flown on ships commissioned by Washington; has been honored, commemorated and flown over state capitols; and is the official maritime flag of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. It is currently displayed outside the office of the speaker of the House. Dozens of historic flags were toted to the Capitol on Jan. 6, as were copies of the Constitution and pictures of the American eagle. Are they all now symbols of “insurrection”?” - wsj[/quote]

Omg. Stop. The Gadsden flag used to mean something else too. [/quote]

And people still fly the Gadsden no matter what the hysterical posters out of DC think.[/quote]

Yes as an anti-government flag.  You’re either naive as hell or dishonest. Your gaslighting won’t work here. [/quote]

Good grief. 
The most anti-government people out there are the crazy anti-Israel posters who proudly wave the Palestinian flag while shouting hateful things about the US. 
They are not flying Gadsden flags.  
Do a little research and find out about the history of the Gadsden flag.  [/quote]

I don’t support this either but it has nothing to do with the other.  Radicals are the problem - on both sides.  [/quote]

Normally I’d agree with you but yes, ANY extremism is bad.  Are they to the same degree and the threat right now? No. Absolutely not. Not even close. This doesn’t mean I accept it from my “own” though either.  [/quote]
Do you not understand that by both sides-ing two entirely different things you are minimizing the damage that right wing extremists are doing, right now, on a national level? Show me the liberal judge whose spouse helped plan and finance an insurrection. Show me the liberal lawmakers who are removing one group’s right to bodily autonomy. Show me the liberal justice who openly sides with those who would overthrow the government. Show me where Biden has encouraged people to commit violence in the name of the Democratic Party.

There is no equivalent. Tell you what, we can “both sides” when the “extremism” of the left remotely approaches that of the right. Until then, “both sides” is doing the GOP’s work for them.[/quote]

Threads are hard to follow here, I get it. You’re arguing with someone who agrees with you.  I was responding to a pp accusing me of hypocrisy, not equating the kinds of extremism we’re seeing. They are not comparable. And I still tolerate neither. I think I’ve made that clear. [/quote]
