So kneeling during the anthem is anti American, but waving the confederate flag isn’t?
Correct.
One is showing active disrespect to the American flag, and the Nation for which it stands.
The other is showing Regional Pride, which in no way contradicts National Pride.
You really can’t make this stuff up! In RW world, displaying the flag of a treasonous nation that lost is more American than not standing for the anthem. The very fine people waving Nazi flags? Them too?
1. Your need to lie shows that you know you are in the wrong. Trump never called nazis "very fine people". I have repeatedly refuted that lie on this site, with the full transcripts.
2. That treason was well over a century ago, with generation after generation of loyal southerns, living in harmony with the rest of the nation, often fighting and dying along side of US in our wars, often at higher levels than the rest of the population.
ANy question of disloyalty, was laid to rest over a century before you were born. It is not credible that you do not know that.
Stop playing dishonest games.
3. And kneeling during the Anthem, is actively showing disrespect to the Flag, which stands for the nation as a whole.
What part of this do you disagree with? Be specific.
Or admit that I am right.
1. Right...he just called people willing to align themselves with Nazis "very fine people". Distinction without a difference.
2. The confederate flag is the equivalent of the Nazi flag. It's the symbol of a traitorous losing nation regardless of how long ago it occurred. To show pride in that seems much more un-American than silently protesting the brutal treatment of people by police officers.
3. No, it doesn't.
Unlike the president, most Americans know NFL kneelers aren't protesting the flag
1. The Nazis behind the Charlottesville Rally last year, were dishonest in their publicizing of the Rally. A lot of people showed up, who were not aligned with Nazis. You can see that in the difference in attendance in this year's rally, now that people know who they really are.
2. YOu ignored my point about all that has happened SINCE then.And it was NOT a symbol of the Confederate Nation. It was a symbol of the Northern Virginia Battle Flag, under Gen Lee.
Why do you think the flag that proud Southerns use, is a battle flag and not one of the NATIONAL confederate flags?
3. Yes, it does. The ritual calls for standing to show respect to the Flag and the Nation for which it stands.
ANd they kneel. The message of disrespect is obvious. And if you are willfully blind, Keapernick verbally clarified that long ago.
This is not, supposedly what they are "protesting", but HOW they are "protesting".
But they are still anti-American assholes. **** THEM ALL.
