Small government conservatives are so triggered that an NBA team didn't play the National Anthem before games in empty arenas, they're going to mandate pregame displays of fealty to the state.

What's next though? Ban all persons who wear scarves or otherwise head gears?

They are going the opposite direction, want to be inclusive with the anthem and have everyone participate in the nationalism

Cool, next let's require that any event receiving public funding will require that attendees wear "I Love America" shirts. Also, Halal food can no longer be served.

[boutons_deux]

Shitbag racist hate-radio Patrick pandering to shitbag racist, secessionist Texans

Repugs pass all kinds of regulations that they say hate, except those that reduce BigDonor profits, while concentrating regulations on the non-whites.

Then they should leave it up to the sport if they want to do it or not. Not be force to do it. Indoctrination 101.

[Adam Lambert]

The people who want to secede from the United States of America also vote for politicians who think pregame displays of American pride should be mandatory.

Republicans are fucking retarded.

The Mavericks don’t receive any money or subsidies from the State of Texas, which is the government authority trying to pass this law.

[Will Hunting]

Cuban should fight this retarded law, it’s an overt 1st amendment violation.

[Winehole23]

Republicans need to stop politicizing sports.

[Trill Clinton]

I watch sports to get a break from politics.

Forced patriotism is a hallmark of the communist regimes that people like Dan Patrick claim to shit their pants in fear over the United States turning into.

Dan Patrick with the hardcore old school bible belt pandering

BUT A VOTE FOR DEMOCRATS IS A VOTE FOR SOCIALISM

[Frenchfred]

funny how the party of small government likes to be in people's business and force them to do things.

[Ef-man]

So churches/mosques/temples receiving public funds would have perform national anthem at start of every reg. service and marriage ceremony held at the site?

Nice!

Why not add the pledge of allegiance and make the mosques say "under God"

Texas on the whole is fucking retarded

And no kneeling whatsoever!

Kneeling bad now.

Oh yeah thanks for that Dan.
I appreciate pledging allegiance to Texas in school as well.

No you see part of the deal of living here is that YOU DONT get forced to do these types of things.
People have fought and died for this right, but not in Poland of course.

Get off that public funding titty then

[pgardn]

Get off that public funding titty then

Public funding from the city.
Can you pledge allegiance to San Antonio?

Still has nil to do with requiring any pledging.

:lol :lol :lol yep

[SpursforSix]

"stores shouldn't be able to force people to wear masks on their premises! the government cant tell us what to do!"

"the government should force leagues to play the anthem and make everyone stand! dont like it leave it! murica"

common thread is that some people are just assholes.

Even if I thought wearing a mask was BS, I'd still wear it just out of respect to other people. It's a major kind of asshole that is comfortable making other people uncomfortable just so they don't have to wear a mask for a few minutes in a store.
As to the anthem, play it or don't. I'll stand if it's played but don't give a shit if it's not. All these people that are bitching about it probably don't even pay much attention when it is played.
Everyone just wants to be mad about something.

The fact that this is his priority at this time says it all.

Dan Patrick is a conservative calling for this law and I haven't seen any conservatives pushing back on it.

Trump understood your last sentence very well.

You did nail it though. People do like being assholes. You can see it with people driving. Weird pent up shit comes out. You can even see it in friends always blaming other drivers for everything that happens on the road. People just cant calm down. I would rather people just get their shit out on a message board like this rather than on the road or in stores.

Hypocrisy is a major tenet of the red team platform.
Even after they fell off the cliff with Donald.

They don't call it a "fucking flag". Apparently that has your neckbeard ire up.

A hair's difference.

Derp's feelings are hurt (badly). Come to terms

[Winehole23]

They don't call it a "fucking flag". Apparently that has your neckbeard ire up.A flag is a symbol of something. The thing itself has minimal value, it's just a fucking flag.

In USA, the flag is sick fetish. The extractive Capitalist MIC is still exploiting WWII and the Cold War attitudes (democratic socialism slandered as USSR Communism, to protect Capitalism raping the planet) to keep Americans' wealth flowing upwards. Nothing more anti-American than Capitalism, but keeping pledging allegiance and fetishsizing the flag

Just like Repugs exploit the Civil War in Confederate/red states by telling them to distrust/hate "Yankee" BigGovt / Feds.

[leemajors]

Keep telling yourself stuff.

Patriotic virtue signaling :lmao

The “Don’t ask, Don’t tell” policy is over and done with derptacular, you can legally join the military if you are such a patriot.

But you are a bonafide chicken shit and coward.

Sad.

Here's mandatory "kill the planet" as mandated by shithole TX shitbag Repugs, whores to BigCarbon

Texas Legislature May Introduce Bill to Blacklist Businesses That Don't Love Fossil Fuels

Patrick said that one of his “legislative priorities” for this year is passing a bill to

protect the fossil fuel industry, by blacklisting businesses. :lol

Patrick said the potential McCarthy-esque rule could be modeled off a disastrous pro-Israel bill he pushed in 2017.

Texas is enthusiastically leading the charge.

In January, Gov. Greg Abbott signed an executive order (https://www.texastribune.org/2021/01/28/abbott-biden-energy/) mobilizing the state to

“use all lawful powers and tools” to challenge federal climate action, :lol

the state announced a special Texas Defense Task Force (https://www.wilsoncountynews.com/articles/texas-land-office-launches-defense-against-federal-overreach-for-energy-independence/) :lol to protect the helpless fossil fuels.

The Task Force “is prepared to aggressively pursue every legal avenue to slow down and stop this alarming onslaught of executive orders and defend the hundreds of thousands of good-paying jobs and our economy at large,”

The Texas Public Policy Foundation, :lol a (s)think tank that has long pushed the most extreme denier views

(including the idea that coal was responsible for ending slavery (https://www.texasobserver.org/top-tppf-analyst-coal-ended-slavery/)) :lol

“how the emerging energy discrimination movement among banks and investment firms

threatens both energy businesses and

the foundations of capitalism itself.” :lol
