Biden has been called a moderate almost his entire political career, so not sure that is the solution either. Somehow in the last two years he's become an unhinged socialist.

Idk...Its hard to speak out and try to talk things out with people especially when there is an actual threat of losing your job just for offering a differing opinion or questioning their version of the truth. Its especially hard if you have kids and you are trying to engage with people that have absolutely nothing at stake and nothing to lose.


This is absolutely true.

Not even Drew Brees is immune to the onslaught of opinions that suddenly have the power to bury a good man. We have lost our spine. Its only a matter of time before our freedom follows.

Drew Brees should have said, "No comment."

When he chose to answer the question, he chose not to say that. After people started slinging shite, Drew Brees should have said, "frick off, I have nothing to apologize for."

He didn't say that. He bent the knee to the insanity. He had the chance to do the RIGHT thing, but chose the easy path instead.

Until "good men" start saying, "frick off, I have nothing to apologize for.", they will continue to be part of the problem.

DO NOT use Drew Brees as an example of a "good man" in all of this.

Well, I think he's talking about Jacob Blake, who hasn't been convicted of rape. He had a warrant for third degree sexual assault, which isn't rape.

Untrue. He’s called for what he is: a bumbling old fool who’s been a failed career politician who is a puppet for the more progressive members of his party. He’s not an unhinged socialist.

I think when you speak out you’ll find that there are more advocates on your side than you think. Just takes some courage.

Turn off the main stream media. They have truly caused this.

The post started so sincere. I thought you actually cared about a middle ground. Then you just argued that they meet you where you are.

The problem in this country is that the majority only see absolutes. It's gotcha politics, and it's hypocrisy, and you're not allowed to change your mind without still having your old opinions attached to you forever.

There's a whole lot of people thinking they can treat other people poorly knowing Jesus Christ died for their sins, but paying no mind to the fact that his whole life he taught about being decent humans.

There lies the problem though, had he said that, would he still be playing this year? Would his businesses and family be the same? Doubtful.

The radical outspoken people would nail him to the cross, they would further put pressure on the NFL, on Rita, on anyone they could and demand he be fired and erased from relevance.
I've seen it happen over and over...that's why he bent the knee, he knew the reprocussions of saying "frick off I have nothing to apoligize for"

I agree that is the solution though, that's why I said someone, or a group of someones is going to have to make some hard decisions.

Shut out all "news" outlets. Whether you agree with Trump or not, he was right when he said they were the enemy of the people.

With that, you found Drew's price. He, evidently, was bought.

Drew Brees has enough money to never work again if he so chose. He could have said frick it and walked away on principle alone. Now, his fanbase doubts his principles and values, and the other side still doesn't give a shite about him.

2008 Biden probably beats Trump in 2020, and it's not close.

Problem is, Biden is old and senile and everyone believes he is being controlled by forces much more liberal/socialist than he is.

Neither the far right, nor the far left, lives their life even approaching how Jesus wanted us to live. This includes the so-called "religious right".
