re: Whom, by kneeling, would disappoint you the most?

Myself.

I’m not even talking necessarily about athletes kneeling for the anthem. I mean fricking Biden knelt in front of the Floyd funeral. Smh

And who by fire, who by water,Who in the sunshine, who in the night time, Who by high ordeal, who by common trial, Who in your merry merry month of may, Who by very slow decay

At this point I have no expectation of having a flag, anthem, or country in a dozen years.

I do. Metairie will still be part of it.

Who are you actually referring to? Or is it just an embellishment to make the narrative much more dramatic? I'll go ahead and answer that for you, yes.

Myself......

If you’re referring to DJT ever kneeling, you might want to reevaluate that statement after checking his retweets today

Are we just going to accept that this is a proper use of the word whom? Is anyone here an English major?

What he said.

In other countries the citizens often cannot express their views due to justified fears of never seeing their loved ones again. While I did not agree with kneeling as the manner of that expression, I note that it has indeed been an effective one.

The message is not against the flag or the military, but against police abuse, which I recognize does in fact exist, and it is not just a "minority" issue. ALL OF US have a right not to be abused by the authorities, and we cannot tolerate it on the belief that only SOME citizens are victims but that is okay because it is not US. Abuse by the authorities was one of the reasons we shot the British and I stand for the proposition that freedom from it applies to all of us ... or I may decide to kneel for that proposition. Probably not, since my father and uncles and their cousins were WWII and Korean veterans, but I also feel that they fought for a country in which the "peace officers" did not act like the Gestapo.
