Covington Catholic must be proud...
This is our country under this president. I'm looking forward to those on this site spinning it and make excuses for the behavior.
I'm just shocked they didn't try to deport him since he's brown.
I found it very interesting that the school bailed immediately. Instead of using it as a 'teaching moment', they pulled all of their social media. Cowardly and utterly lacking in principle.
They aren't interested in teaching them anything outside of their agenda. Diversity isn't one that is on their agenda. They are probably hoping it will be overlooked.
Not a surprise to me at all. But you are correct it is cowardly and utterly lacking in principle, but then again they still have the ''Doctrine of Discovery'' as part of their history.
Absolutely disgusting. A proud moment for all those asses. I am beyond ashamed that they are Americans.
I'd like to drop that smerking little ahole back to the 1970's in Vietnam.
I wanted to reach through my monitor and slap the smirk off of his face.
You can't even navigate to their website. I just tried. "Your page requests are being temporarily throttled" was the message I got.
Boy Howdy!
Oh, never mind, I just got through.
I'm still getting that message, sandy.
It's hit and miss for me. I got the the homepage, but couldn't get anywhere else.
I'm sure they are getting slammed with requests right about now.....
And their server is probably catching fire from the heat of the emails being left.
You can always hit up the Diocese of Covington Ky. They brought those lovely young 'pilgrims' to DC.
BTW, it seems that their 'Find School' search isn't functioning. Wonder why?
Just tried that one, Dulay...It's a no go as well.
Well gee, I was just over there. Guess they're having 'issues'. It may have something to do with MSNBC just carrying the story.
Yeah - I've tried accessing all of the stories involving this and nothing is responding.
I get "about blank", nada...
Both of the links to stories that I provided work just fine.
You think they are going to get the message that they don't have a lot of friends out there on this issue?
I can't believe that there are so many so called responsible groups that are so out of touch with reality....
Too bad he'd likely feign bone spurs just like his draft dodging hero Donald.
Your links are to ITC, they will work fine as they aren't the issue...
These little disrespectful idiots probably don't even know what Vietnam is.
I just get a host error, time out.
Yeah they probably have taken their servers down.....
I just checked, primary DNS error, their servers are down...
I was just on the school's website. Same thing - I can get to the homepage, but it's hit or miss navigating within the website.
Dulay's link times out for me.
Different servers. Time outs are net errors from over activity. (servers can't handle the load)
Host errors are site errors, the server has either quit functioning or DNS has blocked requests cause of the load on the network....
The delay gets so bad that what is in the queue still get out so some might get parts of the site but cant respond to anything consistently...
Much like a DDoS attack.
I'm having no problems navigating the ICT site.....
Me neither. I understand that they do not represent the way all Americans feel toward Native Americans, but, they do represent a large number of them.
Trump is indeed a cancer on our country, as in the year 2019, he is promoting divisiveness and hatred in our country of Native Americans and other ethnic peoples.
Of course, his rabid puppets across the country will defend anything he does or promotes, no matter how low, immoral or disgusting it may be. However, they are becoming fewer and fewer as Trump's presidency goes on and he becomes more and more arrogant, dictatorial and rabid. He is even losing support of many among his own rank and file who are turning against him or choosing to distance themselves from him to save their own political lives, or simply choosing to walk away from it all as the stench of his taint on their party has become too strong, and they can no longer support what their party has become.
Those here who adamantly support him no matter what are a testament to his power of persuasion. There are many other very qualified and decent Republicans who could do a far better job from the Oval office, but, they were cast aside in favor of the least fit candidate who will bring shame to their party for years to come, and our country a well.
Acceptance of diversity among people has never been on the Catholic Church's agenda. Certainly not Native Americans. Their own history of how they dealt with Native Americans since the time they brought their Catholic religion to the shores of America is testament to that fact.
So it is no surprise that those being taught in their schools are bereft respect and acceptance of diverse peoples who also not only share our country, but, have given their lives over the centuries in service to our country.
My own opinion.
What a bunch of assholes.
MAGA - Make America Genocidal Again - Trump 2020 - Party Like It's 1899.
I wonder what makes these punk ass kids think in anyway that they are the equal of Nathan Phillips. When in fact they are not fit to shine his shoes.
Mr. Phillips showed amazing discipline in the way that he handled it. I would have found that discipline impossible for me.
"Give them hell Harry".
You too Kavika.
They are not even fit to wipe his a$$.
The left finds nothing objectionable about mocking Christians
and not all native Americans support AIM. I work with many Native American Reservations through our ministry and many are conservatives and support Trump
that said, I certainly don’t endorse or condone their juvenile behavior
This article isn't about AIM, it's about puke ass kids with no respect for a veteran or native people
Amen, my friend as your most stringent political opponent I agree with you here...
WELL SAID
I've read quite a few different twitter comments on this and a couple have mentioned that Nathan Phillips was singing an AIM song.
Not that those good little "Christian" boys knew or would care.
Actually the song is an inter-tribal song what has been used by AIM for decades.
It's probably from the Ojibwe honor song. Edward Benton-Bani an Ojibwe mide and original AIM member should be credited with first using it.
Are you assuming that Nathan Phillips isn't a Christian? Why?
Read this article carefully. To you, these are not Christians, they are Catholics. So don't worry. There is no problem.
And I didn't know that Indians are left. Better not tell some of out other Indians here that they are.
Yeah that astounding point that all Indians are not liberal democrats....
Kinda like the rest of us aren't they?
Because we all know that Native Americans can't be Christians. At least not real christians. Am I right buddy? Dog whistle dog whistle.
Wrong and I said no such thing. We work with many Native American reservations and have more than 20 tribal leaders who are ordained with our ministry. They are my brothers and sisters in Christ
“For you are all children of God through faith in Christ Jesus. And all who have been united with Christ in baptism have put on Christ, like putting on new clothes. There is no longer Jew or Gentile, slave or free, male and female. For you are all one in Christ Jesus.” Galatians 3:26-28
Here is an article about the Church's reaction:
Their response tells me that they are ducking and hoping that it will go away.
It this ''trip'' to DC was sponsored by the Church there should have been Covington Church adults with them...WTF were they?
Sounds about right. You'd think that they would learn that sweeping shit under the rug only causes you to deal with it later. The problem is, the longer they white wash it, the longer those young men will lack the lesson they so justly deserve.
And here you have it folks, Trump's America, how proud the MAGA crowd must be of student Michael Hodge
bastids
Where are the teachers, parents, chaperones? They just let an unruly mob of kids run around the capitol?
I did not see one single adult with them.
Sickening. Not surprised at all with their choice of attire. I have said all along people will follow example.
Edit: Take that back. Saw two adults at the end, taking pictures. Not doing a thing.
I would not only blame the school, I would blame the parents of these kids. I would have gotten my ass whooped.
I was going to mention that, then saw your edit.
Yeah, that moron blocking him was making me want to slap the crap out of him. Had to pause it for a moment.
Couldn't stand his attitude and that look on his face.
Time to take a look at school curriculum. History seems to be severely lacking in a lot of youth.
At $7000+ in tuition, you'd think they would at LEAST have some concept of respecting Elders. Sheesh!
1. Disrespecting an elder.
2. Disrespecting a veteran.
3. Disrespecting a Native American.
Terrible, just terrible.
Not their finest moment.
Its all documented on line.
No denying it now.
Time for parents, teachers and the community to be the adults in the room.
Enoch.
There are at least 3 adults in the video. Chaperons perhaps, or might even be teachers/priests.
I went to a public school and it I would have stepped out of line anything like that I would be suspended, grounded and have a very hard time sitting for a while...
Dear Friend Dulay: I saw the chaperones in the video.
You and me both,m in our day.
Only we knew better, were and are better than that.
Hopefully what used to happen in our day will be done now.
It is not too late.
E.
Do you really believe that, Enoch? The defiant look on that one kid's face is way too familiar. There is a sex offender sitting on the Supreme Court now. The world watched as the President of the United States put him there. "Hey, kiddies, you can be a drunken asshole rapist, and still become a Supreme Court Justice!"
I'm sorry, but my faith in the future of our country just took a nose dive into the abyss.
And that is after I got home!
Dear Friend SMAAB: There are always reasons to be depressed and skeptical.
Going on six thousand years, there have always been those who want to kill off Jews and Judaism.
If not by the sin of the sword (physical extermination), then by missionary murder (the Diecide of slaughtering off our souls).
They do their damage, in each and every generation.
That is our Akidah (Binding of Isaac) test.
Yet we survive, endure and thrive.
Now as never before.
There is always reason for optimism.
As we keep our end of the eternal covenant, so it and its Author has kept us.
Our enemies, sooner or later wind up forgotten footnotes in the dustbin of history.
There is always reason for optimism.
SMAAB: Keep your faith, howsoever the spirit has moved you.
Fight the good fight.
When there is sincere repentance and atonement; help, forgive and teach by example.
Live life most fully, abundantly, ethically, wisely and humanely in your time.
The future will take care of itself, as long as we prevail while we can.
Keep a good thought.
I do for you and us all.
Enoch.
Hearing a little more about this. Supposedly this group of boys started to get loud, argumentative , confrontational with another group that was there that was African American.
KC NOLAND tried to get in between them to diffuse the situation. Then it looks like the boys turned their ire on him.
"Land gets stolen. That's the way it works. That's the way of the world."
I wonder if that kid would be so cavalier about anti-Catholic bigotry.
Did you even watch your own video? It is native Americans arguing with the African Americans and the African americans mocking the natives telling them they lost there land because they worship bears and Buffalo FFS.
This guy
A hundred thumbs up.
and one other
Update :
I missed this in my newsfeed and just now saw the WAPO article. I am disgusted beyond belief.
The current administration is teaching our children that this behavior is acceptable. How much longer do we need to deal with this garbage before that skank of a president is removed from office? There has to be something the decent people of this nation can do to facilitate the process.
And the smarmy punk with the really big nose? 30 seconds in a room with him is all I need.
Please sis, Show me where the president is teaching such hate to our youth?
The teaching comes from the parents and schools....
I saw that same look on Supreme Court Justice Kavanaugh's face during his confirmation hearing.
What a mess America has become. I feel so sorry for you guys.
Thanks Buzz
It's been a long slow downhill slide but seems to have escalated more as time has gone on. Personally I think a lot of it is to be blamed on the modern world itself, as technology has advanced and everyone is much more connected to everyone and everything we all seem to want what we all want even more individually which makes cooperative efforts even more difficult.
America kind of depends on cooperation to function at its best, thus where we find our self today. as you put it, a mess.
I think the universal ability for intercommunication has put a weapon into the hands of those who can use it to mislead and misdirect. I consider Zuckerberg a most dangerous type of potentate. I, for one, am part of a small minority that wish the computer and internet and smartphones and videogames were never invented.
The internet, cell phones, texting, phone cameras etc. are a blessing and a curse.
I am mixed on the advancements myself, I like whats good (of course) but dislike wants bad (ofcourse) but I honestly think I'd rather have the whole package than not.
I feel fortunate in that I've always been glad of where and when I was born. I like seeing the advancements happening so rapidly because after all we as an individual are only here but a speck of time.
LOL Maybe I just get bored easily....lol
and I'm so happy and consider myself lucky to have been born here in the USA. I very much am grateful and appreciative of the freedoms and opportunities we have here, not to mention the over all standard of living. I'v e worked hard all my life but was careful with my earnings for enough I retired doing fine at a decent health and age so I'm sure not bitchin.
I've grown to learn to be able to deal with the fact that in life you get the bad with the good. In order to have the good, the bad is a part of the package.
I deal with reality pretty well, but I dislike non reality and people who push the existence of it. especially for their own benefit (s).
People always use any "tool ' for both, Good and bad the computer age is no different in that aspect, We shall survive, thrive and procreate yet another day at least.
lol. :)
Remember Ted ?
Ted Kaczynski
Kaczynski writes that technology has had a destabilizing effect on society, has made life unfulfilling, and has caused widespread psychological suffering. [75] He argues that, because of technological advances, most people spend their time engaged in useless pursuits he calls " surrogate activities," wherein people strive toward artificial goals,
.............................
Unfortunately, You both may be correct Buzz
LOL. At least I have no intention of blowing anyone up because they are involved with technology.
LOL, I didn't expect you did, I'm just reminded of Ted from time to time and wonder if he wasn't on to something is all. No one knows how the computer age will end.
Let's get back on topic y'all.
Already there.
Frickin perfect.
no, Frickin sickening !
Smiling in the face of evil is a GOOD character trait. I applaud both the president and this young man
Dr, Reverend, whatever you are? What evil was in front of that boy? It was someone playing a small drum and singing.
Locking for the night.
Unlocked.
Not looking good for generation Z. These kids are absolutely clueless about honor, dignity, and the ramifications of putting their ignorance on display.
There are assholes in every generation, Hal. We have more than a few.....
True. Let’s hope this crowd isn’t too representative of their generation. I’ve seen no evidence that any of the 200 or so kids in this crowd were disappointed in the behavior of their peers. I suppose the number of MAGA hats explains that. I bet most of these kids have no idea what’s happening in the world, or even in this country.
Yes.
I'd say that the Catholic school that organized their trip should be doing some serious soul-searching!
They should be apologizing to the kids.
Sorry to say I dont think this is a generational problem. It's an attitude problem ! Being passed down.
Trump rallies aren't hatred rallies...
Absolutely.
And the kids are swallowing their parents' hateful dogma...
Well Never been to one , But from what I've seen they dont look much like a love feast either.
Unless people call that Love of trump which I certainly can do without, so I'll pass.
Ouch!!
Monkey see monkey do .. exactly !
Sorry but honestly for me I needed to change it a little:
No sweat, I found this picture on fb, I did not create it.
Try other than atheist anti Trump media. Prayer is always found at Trump rallies
Not all things are as they seem.
Guy1 walks up to Guy2 and starts beating a drum in Guy2's face. Guy2 just stands there and smiles and he's the asshole? Really?
Like all perspectives, it depends on what you see and when you start seeing it.
One group came to participate in a legally approved event.
Another group came to disrupt and harass those different than them including a 3rd group.
Nathan, a member of the 1st group of legal participants, got between groups 2 and 3 breaking up that tension.
Sounds like Nathan did the right thing, irrespective of the disruptive, anti-social behavior of group 2.
My understanding is that the kids were there because chaperones had directed the that location to wait for a bus. I don't see evidence of them trying to disrupt anyone else's event.
Guy1 is 70; Guy2 is 16. In any civilized society, Guy2 gives way automatically, and there's no incident at all.
Good manners are all that's needed.
Oh, wait... the kid has a MAGA hat, so no manners at all, particularly toward a brown man...
And has a history of being a victim.
He was scared for his life, sniff sniff, all them teenagers he walked into the middle of must have been terrifying.
I like when he is 1st walking up there and the black isrealites or whatever they call themselves are pointing at the kids and yelling go get them.
How dare they wait for a bus in a public area and wear MAGA hats.
Guy1 is 70; Guy2 is 16. In any civilized society, Guy2 gives way automatically, and there's no incident at all.
Good manners are all that's needed.
Gives way to what? I see no evidence that Phillips is trying to go anywhere other than where he is - i.e. standing in front of a kid and beating a drum in his face. He's a bully.
They aren't in a doorway or a narrow corridor; they're outside. The kid didn't step in front of the old man. The old man walked up to him directly. It would have been very easy to simply pass him by. No, the old man has no course he is trying to pursue. There is no "way" to be given.
This kid is being extremely well-mannered. If some guy walked up to me beating a drum in my face, I'd probably snatch it and break it over my knee.
I was taught to give respect, automatically, to my elders. I taught my son the same.
Apparently, some folks don't agree.
Phillips is an actor who is a radical leftist activist. I applaud the young man for not losing his cool and simply smiling in the face of Phillips provocation
