MSNBC Host: Church, Military and National Anthem Are Part of a "Bygone" Era

[Townhall] MSNBC host Joy Reid is known for her outlandish and ugly statements full of factual errors, but last night during the State of the Union she took things to another level.

During President Trump's speech, Reid said American institutions like church, police, the military and the National Anthem are all from a bygone era that should be forgotten.

Church, family, police, military and the National Anthem are hardly part of a bygone era, but instead represent the best of what America has to offer. In fact, we saw examples last night during President Trump's address.

First, Trump told the story of 27-year-old police officer Albuquerque Police Officer Ryan Holets and is wife Rebecca.

"Last year, Ryan was on duty when he saw a pregnant, homeless woman preparing to inject heroin. When Ryan told her she was going to harm her unborn child, she began to weep. She told him she did not know where to turn, but badly wanted a safe home for her baby," Trump said. "In that moment, Ryan said he felt God speak to him: 'You will do it -- because you can.' He took out a picture of his wife and their four kids. Then, he went home to tell his wife Rebecca. In an instant, she agreed to adopt. The Holets named their new daughter Hope."

#1 All of the things that make up a civilized society. Deport these people off to the sh*t holes and armpits of the world.

#2 Why do TV outlets keep giving such cretins a megaphone?

#3 Because they know their audience is largely made up of cretins. And saying that is unfair to cretins.

#4 Dear Joy - may I call you Joy? Thank you, so much:

Up yours, lady. My faith, my service, and my nation will be here long after you've made your last hateful little rant. As a matter of fact, those things will be what rescues your backside someday.

Not that I think you'll be grateful for it.

Sincerely,
Mike

#5 In ref to #3, ethnic diversification in the media is based upon viewership, not actual population figures or percentages.

If you suspect there might be something behind the constant bombardment of snake oil pain killer meds on teevee, you might be right. Viewership is money.

#8 re: #1 Deport them to Venus. Their talents should be able to turn it into paradise, right?

#9 And here I thought after numerous examples of 'fail', Marxism/Socialism were part of a 'bygone' era. That 'free stuff' gambit just doesn't stop.

#10 OK, so patriotism's kaput, does that mean we don't have to waste any more time hyperventilating about the Russians buying ads on facebook?

#12 The world is turning its back on internationalism. Tough times for progressives who all think of themselves as above national borders and such. Perhaps they should all get residency in Antarctica.

#13 I don't see why ye'all so hard on the woman - I reckon, she only repeats that she heard her massas saying.

#17 Nationalism is like an extended family -- you may not like or approve of relatives but when trouble comes you protect each other. Internationalists seem to, as the saying goes, "Love humanity but hate and despise every human being they encounter".
