Catholic birther Alan Keyes, so he has no credibility with me, no matter what religion he follows.

Talk about bearing false witness…

You are no judge, why does birtherism bother you more than someone who supports abortion like Kaepernick. Again, you are making a lot of wiid remarks that I don’t find proven in any way.

Also, it must be said, a tactic of the left is just to resort to accusing others of bigotry, the race card.

BTW, Keyes ran against Obama, sure, he would have every reason to question where Obama was born, it came up during one of the debates. It also came up during the Clinton Obama race for the democratic nominee.
 
Also, let’s remember, Matt Abbot writes for Renew America, I don’t know what qualifies as being a “prominent Catholic writer” but I had heard of him before.

So, when a website has what sometimes appears to be a hundred columnists, to isolate Kincaid. I haven’t seen proof of any anti-Catholic sentiments. He may be conspiratorial but this is really off-topic from Kaepernick.

Let it suffice, Matt Abbot writes for that website, launched by Catholic Alan Keyes, if one starts to judge fellow Catholics, one may run into problems.

I don’t buy that. Being Catholic doesn’t render anyone immune from criticism or judgement as to the content of one’s writing.

That said, as I said above, I wish Kaepernick was pro-life. The fact that he’s wrong about that doesn’t automatically make him wrong about other things.

Kincaid seems to be uspet about Evangelical Chaplains not getting more positions in the Navy and Military. That is his gripe. I don’t consider that as anti-Catholic. Maybe he is not aware that showing Kavanaugh with a Bishops hat could appear sacreligious to Catholics. None-the-less, I don’t see his voicing his opinion on there being more Evangelical Chaplains in the military to be anti-Catholic… and it certainly is not compared to a Jack Chick comic or some Reformation website I visited years ago. I’m not going to deeply analyze a youtube video with less than a thousand hits to label the Renew America website launched by a Catholic as anti-Catholic.

As for the birther issue, that’s also about another big pro-choice “God Bless Planned Parenthood” Barack Obama. I’d be more alarmed about the former President. He is amiable enough, his views though were not. He withdrew troops from Iraq and ISIS sprouted up persecuting Christians. I too, would be concerned about this.

Lastly, Kincaid is probably wrong, he is conspiratorial. He never mentioned Catholicism before until the recent month or two but he lost me some time ago. Still, there are things about everyone we can find fault.

You’re welcome to your point of view, of course. Again, I say, I wish Kaepernick was pro-life. He’d be a great spokesman for the cause.

That said, his pro-choice leanings (and contributions) don’t make him wrong about other causes he espouses.

I don’t know what other causes we are talking about, kneeling for the national anthem seems based on black lives matter and that movement seems to be built on false information.

African American, black man Larry Elder pretty much disses the black lives matter movement. So, I think Colin is basically batting .000
Despite the lack of evidence that there is an increase in cops shooting blacks, let alone shooting blacks unlawfully, a few recent killings of blacks by cops has spawned the so-called Black Lives Matter movement. But over the past 45 years, per the Centers for Disease Control, police killings of blacks are down 75 percent. What are on the increase, year-to-year, are cop killings.

The No. 1 preventable cause of death of young black males is homicide – usually at the hands of other blacks. The primary cause of preventable death among young white males is auto accidents.

'Black Lives Matter' Movement Getting Blacks Killed

And the message here said I have posted 20% or more of the messages, so I will let that go.

I don’t see any pluses in what Kaepernick is doing. He seems ill-informed and is misleading many people.
 
So what about baseball, basketball, hockey, soccer? Any kneeling going on there?
