That is so far from reality that it leaves me speechless.  One more thing.  Who do think is more tolerant of LGBT rights?

Yes they would be very disappointed it what has become of national patriotism, They would be even more disappointed in what today is called political correctness. My mother who is 86 years old and seen things from the dirty thirties to WW 2, from 60's flower power to 80's of Regan democrats, from radio to television to cell phones and everything between. A Life long democrat who believes the republicans of today are more like the democrats of old and has changed parties. Voted for President Trump. has been pilfered by Obamacare because she is old and should be dead. I asked her what she thought about the NFL deal, and she told me she is disgusted with how young people today disrespect the American traditions and patriotism. She said she never thought she would live to see it.

My mother just died at age 96 and she said almost the same thing. I am 62 and I am sad to be living with it. :sad:

We're getting off topic, but let me just say this, I'm no victim. The LBGT movement is a mafia controlled by the left and they are being used to meet the ends of the left. Those ends are ultimately anti-American and I won't have anything to do with them. For example, I'm not in to forcing anyone into baking me a cake if they don't want to. I prefer captialism and liberty over politics and coercion. The LGBT movement decided to go with the later, which I believe is a mistake in the end. It's a movement built upon an idea of forced acceptance. That's not how I want to win over the hearts and minds of people. I disagree with their strategy. The left wants to use the power of the Government to bully their political enemies into submission so that they can maintain power and steer this great country into some form of socialism that I believe will end up getting us all killed or conquered. So, excuse me if I put the viability of the USA above my own special desires for immediate acceptance. To bring this back on topic, Respect for the national anthem during sporting events is part of maintaining that viability.

I have never responded in this forum to any political stance or statement that I I can remember but I just had to comment here.  I served  3-years active duty in the USMC  with a total of 17-months in Vietnam.  I was wounded and received a Purple Heart and a Bronze Star.  So I'm pretty sure I'm qualified to speak a bit on patriotism.  For all of you bitching about taking a knee; I fought so they could "take a knee".  It's called "peaceful protest" you ignorant shits and it's guaranteed by our Constitution.  You might check out the 1st Amendment in the "Rill of Rights". Ya know, that document you so often profess your love for. 

If you would bother to investigate or research a bit you'd find that when Colin Kaepernick took a knee he was not only protesting police brutality and inequality, he was also protesting the way returning veterans are treated.  Yeah, you must have missed that part right?  Try getting your news from someone or somewhere else besides Fox News.  So to slam his protest in my eyes, you're also slamming the protest of the way our returning vets are treated.  Guess you're ok with that.  Seems as if our chicken hawk draft dodging president is. So I guess you might as well climb on that bandwagon.  These athletes are not disrespecting my flag or my country. In this wounded veteran's opinion,  you sorry asses  that call yourself  Americans are. 

So no one is to be given the right to peaceful protest except that which you believe in and agree with huh? Idiots!  We are a country built on protest and revolution!  A country built on immigrants!  Our strength lies in our ability to protest and our diversity!  But you, you go right on listening to your dear fearless leader.  You know the one who's campaign team consorted with the Russians.  The one whose  whole family has financial ties to Russia.  The one who's campaign manager has already been informed he's going to be indicted.  Yep!  follow him right over the cliff you f**king lemmings...  And you dare call yourself patriotic Americans.  The nerve!!

i'm a pretty tough critic and go back a long way in politics in this country.

so therefore, it is highly unusual for me to say that EVERY WORD in your "editorial" has the ring of truth.

congratulations!

so many people, including that self-serving un-american whore in the white house, are missing the whole point on this issue.

but you have straightened them out good and proper. good for you.

with any luck at all, the current special investigator will soon be turning over some political rocks, and a whole family of bugs will be scurrying out of washington.

we all have had differences before, but nothing that even approaches the vile notions coming out of the current administration.

hang in there. stand [or kneel] for what you know is right. better days are coming.

thank you for speaking out.
