Are we a divided country? Oh yeah, and the other side has gone completely nuts.
It must be a terrible life, to spend your days searching for something to be outraged about. Something as innocuous as a sports team wearing the name of their sponsor can be a "dog whistle" of racism and nationalism.
I'm old enough to remember when Jack Paar of the first Tonight Show was censored from telling a joke about WC's (British water closets - bathrooms). He said "some people can find something dirty in the crotch of a tree".
In my own dark humor kind of way I sort of wish I had a neighbor with that kind of social paranoia, just think of the fun I could have driving them crazy just using everyday language that would set their hair on fire.

That's as bad as the other latest one: the term, 100% is racist, ya know.

Personally, I consider it an embarrassment that folks are down on nationalism. I dunno what is wrong with loving your nation and wanting the best for it. Affects all of us in the success or failure of day to day life here whether the populace wants the nation to do well or fail utterly.
Naysayers on ANY team drag the whole team down, and while we have an awful lot to legitimately complain about these days, the patriots are angered by it while the naysayers are pleased beyond reason over the same events and circumstances.....Joe
