I seriously don’t know why I get so much grieve for my stance. I am simply patriotic.

That’s why you get “grieve” from me. I don’t like patriotism. I don’t like it when people demand flag worship and demand that people submit.

I don’t like people being disrespectful to the National Anthem.

I don’t even see how it’s disrespectful. Would you rather he stand up and spit at the flag and scream at the top of his lungs during the anthem? Now that would be disrespectful. Isn’t it disrespectful to play the anthem at sporting events anyway? Isn’t that dumbing it down? Why not play it before movies and concerts at that point? I think it’s great that Nike is standing with Kaepernick.

I agree they have the Constitutional and legal right to protest and kneel during the National Anthem. But that doesn’t mean I have to agree with what they do. I have a right to not like their forum of protest and the right to not support it by not buying products from companies that put anthem protesters in their ads.

Thanks for the lesson on the 1st amendment.

I’ve always hated Carlin. I thought he was clueless, ignorant, arrogant, and nuts. (especially in the latter stages of his career)

God, you really are wrong about everything aren’t you? Teaching kids to question everything is “clueless”? And “war is peace” too I guess.
