There was a time where the flag of our nation, and the nation itself was seen as a beacon of hope for a better life. People paid the ultimate price to protect the freedoms of it's citizens.


That kind of unity only existed during and immediately after WW2. This narrative you are telling simply isn't true for most of American history.

1930s - The socialist challenge was real, but now forgotten.

WWI - Most people didn't want anything to do with that war. It certainly had little to do with the freedom of our citizens.

Spanish-American War - A war for rich imperialists. It benefitted our citizens, sure, but had nothing to do with freedom. In fact, we stopped a bunch of Cubans and Puerto Ricans who were fighting for freedom.

Civil War - Half the country fought the other half, then occupied it for 20 years afterwards. Hatred still lingers.

Thats a great video. Seen it before. Now how in the hell does that have anything to do with whats going on in the NFL, or more importantly what I posted or the post I responded to?

I'd say that challenge is stronger than ever today.

I frankly don't give a fat rats arse what you find offensive. You don't care what we do I don't care what you do.

Edit: nice alter by the way.


So you are fine with calling vets pussies but you melt when someone takes a knee during the anthem.

Not a sock puppet BTW, if you think I am then report me and have the admin check my IP.

Why exactly do you think they are kneeling? fill me in on that so I can elaborate the irony of it all. Then the video should be much more evident what it has to do with it.

Flawed premise. Come back when you understand how this works.

It has nothing to do with what Morgan Freeman is talking about in that video. Did you even watch it?

Morgan Freeman is talking about systematic racism.

This protest has everything to do with systematic racism.

Stay woke.

And black on black crime? Because that's a far bigger issue than anything you've mentioned

I think most people, myself included, can't understand what the protest is for. So it's easy to bash the method of protest when the reason for the protest is nonsense.




This.

I'd love to put the kneelers on the spot and ask them what policy change would satisfy them and get them to stand again.

I guarantee that in most cases you'd get a blank stare or a lot of stammering, but no answer. They just think they're being cool and edgy.
