That argument don't fly when the kneelers disrespected the flag and military by kneeling over seas but honoring the flag of another country instead. One that many died fighting for our freedom from.
Spot the difference.
On the one hand you have those flying the Confederate flag.
These are the sort of people who are telling the kneelers that they're disrespecting the US armed forces, they're disrespecting the flag, they're disrespecting the anthem.
On the other hand you have the kneelers.
The Confederate troops committed Treason. The US Constitution is quite clear on what Treason is, and the Confederacy committed treason and every soldier who took up arms to FIGHT THE SOLDIERS OF THE US ARMED FORCES committed treason.
Now, flying the Confederate flag shows no respect to the members of the US armed forces. The Confederates killed members of the US armed forces.
Flying the Confederate flag shows no respect to the flag of the United States. It says "we don't want to be a part of that flag, we don't want our star on that flag".
Kneeling in a protest does not disrespect the US flag. The US flag exists because it represents the States, the government, the Constitution. A Constitution which protects freedom to criticize the government.
The kneelers have killed zero US Armed Forces personnel.
The Confederates killed 110,000 people in battle and 25,000 to 30,000 in Confederate prisons.
How is it that the people who fly the flag of treason, the flag of killing US military personnel can turn around and tell those who kneel, that they're disrespecting the anthem and the flag?
They were protesting the US government. The flag is a symbol of the US govt.
Why the hell would they protest the UK flag, when they don't have a problem with the UK government?
You're really struggling to find any old excuse, aren't you?
Did the Confederates commit treason as stated by the US Constitution?
Did the Confederates kill an estimated 140,000 US soldiers?
Did the kneelers kill any US soldiers?the kneelers are traitors for disrespecting our flag and soldiers overseas.That argument don't fly when the kneelers disrespected the flag and military by kneeling over seas but honoring the flag of another country instead.

Well you think this. That's fine. However actually the definition of treason doesn't quite back you up there.
However the Confederates were TREASONOUS and to fly the Confederate flag in support of such treason is.... what?
"Treason against the United States, shall consist only in levying War against them, or in adhering to their Enemies, giving them Aid and Comfort."
Now, the kneelers aren't levying war against the US govt. The Confederates did.
The kneelers aren't adhering to the US's enemies, nor giving them aid nor comfort. The Confederates did.
