"All he did was sit during the National Anthem, and explained that he felt uncomfortable giving allegiance to anyone but God"

I can symphathise with this as I feel the same way about pledging allegance to a country filled with enough IDIOTS to reelect a president who has demonstrated his anti-americanism by usurping the constitution anytime it does not suit his desires.


"He also said America had a history of tyranny and oppression. Is that really an incorrect statement?"

To a certain degree, yes, as has all of the rest of the world. However, what America has done for liberation and freedom far outways it's indescretions.


"You may disagree with his convictions, but I doubt you have the strength he did to stand by them with what was at stake, both publicly and financially."

Kuddos to him for that, because he sacrificed a lot, but he had to know it was going to cost him.




All of that aside, That Kid could shoot the lights out of it!!!
