It's really not though. If you find something wrong with your country you should work to fix it. Your statement makes no sense and reads like a redneck bumper sticker.

If your roof was leaking would you move into another house or fix the damn roof?

Nobody is allowed to voice an opinion that doesn’t agree with theirs. They are the ones who hate what America stands for. Maybe they should leave and create their own Fascist Capitalist Utopia somewhere else.

What's going on now is not about fixing the roof. What's going on is a self-righteous, vocal anarchist few who want to set the roof on fire and then completely rewrite the building codes so that ALL roofs should be torn down and rebuilt based on THEIR standards.

Wouldn't matter because America would just send their military to take the natural resources and goods,than send in political figures to meddle in their business anyways i.e see the world events now.

While those are out there and we should fight against anarchist movements that would completely destabilize this country, there are also plenty of people more in the middle who just want to see some changes made to the system rather than completely tearing it down. And just because some anarchist/maoist idealogies are out there, doesn't mean we should disregard everyone calling for change.

Is it not coincidental that the NFL stopped caring about kneeling during the anthem at the same point the gravy train stopped.... NJ.com

Not really. It does not mean you love it exactly as it is or should not work for change. Just do not preach against democracy or capitalism as if you have a better basis for our nation.

let me tell you something.

My father fought in Vietnam and after he returned home he became a full blown alcoholic.

fighting for our country polluted his soul in a way.

I'm proud of his bravery and I respect every branch of the military this country has to offer.

But I can't help but wonder how different things would be if he hadn't served. He didn't have a choice.

Freedom isn't Free.

While I love America I hope you can understand why I said what I said.

I posted this to bring a different perspective on things.

And my point would be there is a difference between protesting FOR change and not against AMERICA.

I love my house. And if it had a leaky roof, I’d get it fixed.

You can love something even if it has problems. You can even voice and show that love, and even show respect for what you have. That doesn’t stop you from admitting things can be better and working to make improvements. And you can do that without disrespecting your house (country).

Drew Brees liked this video! But he apologized soon after.

Preaching against democracy is exactly a freedom they fought for. Hypocrites.
