It appears Eric Reid is mad because Malcolm Jenkins made an agreement with the NFL to stop protesting if the NFL donated to causes he saw worthy?

Why would this make Reid mad; isn't one of the purposes of the protest to improve conditions for minorities?

Stand for anything, unless it means potentially sacrificing any aspect of your collusion case against the NFL.

They keep telling Trump supporters they fought for this right to peacefully protest, and they even recommended kneeling as a sign of respect (I mean they keep telling folks it's what people do when praying and such). But it doesn't fit Trump supporters political narrative.

Trump supporters don't speak for Law Enforcement or our Vets. They attack them daily, accept Putin's Intel over America's. They've turned on our Allies for Putin, and our Vets like McCain and those who were captured. It's increasingly difficult for folks to believe they are Patriotic.

Incredible, I say, but yes. They get away with it. We need to pass some laws to deal with the problem, and then Americans
themselves should observe and report those who don't show "respect."

Signs painted for a Kindness Campaign being conducted by a small group from College Heights United Methodist Church in Elizabethtown.

A local group has made it a mission to encourage those in the community to always be kind. Evidence of their work can be seen through town in the form of multi-colored “Just Be Kind” yard signs.

The signs are part of their Kindness Campaign, which is spreading throughout the county.


Elizabethtown resident Tricia Smith said the campaign was started about two weeks ago by a small group at College Heights United Methodist Church.


“Our small group has been trying to think of ways that we could do something for the community and, with all the hatred and just meanness, we thought, ‘What can we do to make people remember that all you have to do is be kind?’” she said.


Thus, they came up with the idea of the colorful yard signs.


“We decided we were going to do this and we called it the Kindness Campaign,” Smith said.


Aside from being a reminder to be kind to one another, money raised from the signs will go toward helping people in need in the community. She said the group will choose an individual, family or charitable organization to donate the money to.


“Our small group is very active in the community, so we hear of stories where people are struggling,” she said, adding they wanted “to be able to raise money so that we could share some kindness.”


The group is selling the signs for $10 each, however, those who purchase can donate more if they want, Smith said.


So far, Smith said they have sold a little more than 50 signs. She also said their first project to help an individual in the community has been decided, but they have not announced it.


“We hope that, with as big as (the Kindness Campaign) is getting already, we’ll be able to help others,” she said.


“It’s just going toward sharing kindness with people in the community who need it,” Smith added. “We hope it becomes a big thing.”

Anyone interested in learning more about the Kindness Campaign or purchasing a sign can go to the Elizabethtown Just Be Kind Facebook page or call Smith at 270-234-6827.


“We hope (the signs) make people smile as they’re driving down the road,” she said.

They are in Kentucky (and I don't know where he lives) so at least he isn't just making stuff up.  Instead he's using a nice thing done by a church and some kids to intimate that liberals aren't nice.  lol.

I sure many liberals are nice; however, it has been proven time and time again both here and Nation wide they have the propensity to become vile if you do not see things their way. 

Often after spending time here with my buddies I drive around and see these signs and I just wonder how many of the folks on here that applaud things such as harassing folks in public proudly display one of these.
