No I don't think so. But I gather you do. Which is interesting since you can not know what was involved. But I would be interested in hearing what entitlement you suspect.

I'll take a wild stab and say GI Bill, which you (and I) most certainly earned. But one person's contractually granted "reward" is another person's "entitlement". It depends on who's getting what (and why) versus who isn't. See what I did there?

No, if they paid you in cash and you paid that cash to the school that would be ok for some reason.

No, I did not use the GI bill.
All job related. The Best schools were the Navy Fire Control school and IBM management school. I single them out as better than any University classes I had. Although some contract work with Universities was interesting. Working with Scripps on Oceanography was my favorite.

Fox's Shep Smith: We couldn't find a Republican willing to come on and defend Trump

Fox News host Shepard Smith said Wednesday that the network tried and failed to get a Republican on-air to defend President Trump's controversial comments on violence in Charlottesville, Va., over the weekend

"Our booking team — and they're good — reached out to Republicans of all stripes across the country today," Smith said on his show "Shepard Smith Reporting."

"Let's be honest, Republicans don't often really mind coming on Fox News Channel. We couldn't get anyone to come and defend him here because we thought, in balance, someone should do that," he continued.

"We worked very hard at it throughout the day, and we were unsuccessful. And of those who are condemning the president's condemnable actions, I've not heard any prominent leaders, former presidents, members of the House or the Senate use his name while speaking in generalities," he said.​

sure someone grandstanding, piggybacking on current events, you will likely see others but it is extremely doubtful they gain any traction. extreme views like the ones on the right will be out there, but do you consider this on par with the racist rally in charlottesville?

We'll see. Realize the US flag flew over 75 years of slavery.

Is this a hoot, or what? (From 2015)

http://thehill.com/blogs/ballot-box/246012-va-gov-leave-confederate-statues-alone

Gov. Terry McAuliffe (D) is defending Confederate statues in Virginia as part of its heritage, one day after moving to ban "hurtful" Confederate flags on state license plates.

“I am sticking just with the license plates because I do think that is a message that is so hurtful, that flag, to folks,” McAuliffe told MSNBC's "Andrea Mitchell Reports" on Wednesday.

“But not statues. I mean, Robert E. Lee, Jefferson Davis, these are all parts of our heritage," he added. "And the people that were in that battle, the Civil War, many of them were in it obviously for their own reasons that they had for that. But leave the statues and those things alone.”
 
yup perceptions change when exposed to others points of view if one listens. or for political expediency lol
 
Most of what I know about Bannon is what the media writes about him. A single quote without context about the alt right.

The people I see defending him are Jewish in a couple of cases. Staunch defenders. They know him, I don't. The media doesn't because he doesn't speak in public much.

Until yesterday.

I asked Bannon about the connection between his program of economic nationalism and the ugly white nationalism epitomized by the racist violence in Charlottesville and Trump’s reluctance to condemn it. Bannon, after all, was the architect of the strategy of using Breitbart to heat up white nationalism and then rely on the radical right as Trump’s base.

He dismissed the far right as irrelevant and sidestepped his own role in cultivating it: “Ethno-nationalism—it's losers. It's a fringe element. I think the media plays it up too much, and we gotta help crush it, you know, uh, help crush it more.”

“These guys are a collection of clowns,” he added.

“The Democrats,” he said, “the longer they talk about identity politics, I got ’em. I want them to talk about racism every day. If the left is focused on race and identity, and we go with economic nationalism, we can crush the Democrats.”

(Economic nationalism, he talked about in the piece, means he thinks were in an economic war with China that's effectively killed a lot of our manufacturing base, they've been stealing our intellectual property, and the amount of money we send to that nation is a massive figure, approaching $1T).

Or maybe he was right and he's bowing to pressure from a vocal minority.

I didn't find any polling about what the masses think about removing statues. Just this, which is unscientific:
