Standard propaganda technique. Be vague. Let the moderates hear what they want to hear. Let the radical racists on your side hear what you really mean.
The cop that arrested the guy who was breaking into a house and was an asshole about it, was not doing anything wrong.
Obama was being a dick, when he called that cop stu
Kaepernick, was being an asshole, when Trump rightfully pointed out that he was being an asshole.
Kaepernick wasn't doing anything wrong. Trump was not "rightfull". No more than Obama for calling a cop stupid for acting like an asshole.
1 Kaepernick was an American actively disrespecting America during a ritual to show respect, and loyalty to America and his fellow Americans. That fits my definition of wrong.
2. Trump was right to call him out on it. Too long we Americans have let assholes being anti-American assholes without any cost.
3. The cop was just a regular guy trying to do his job, and doing it well. Kaepernick was making an asshole political statement by actively disrespecting the nation as a whole.
What Obama did was wrong. What Trump did was right.
Kaepernick did not disrespect the United States of America or our military. His was and is a protest against the people in various offices who have strayed from our national principles and values.
Yes, he did. He clarified his intent with his words for those dense enough to not understand KNEELING during the National Anthem.
And it is not disrespect to our military.
The Flag is not a symbol that represents our military.
The Flag is a symbol for the nation as a whole, ie "and the nation for which is stands".
Kaepernick did disrespect the nation as a whole and all of it's citizens.
He is an asshole and should be shunned by normal, healthy society.
Complete and utter nonsense. Kaepernick's actions are not the least bit disrespectful to our nation and us.
He is kneeling during a ritual where standing is called for as as show of respect and loyalty to the nation and your fellow citizens.
THat is actively showing disrespect and disloyalty.
Your denial of this obvious fact is utterly groundless.
Everyone has the right to protest the abuse of power, particularly when it results in death.
Strawman. No one is saying he does not have the right to be disloyal and disrespectful to the nation.
But he will be judged based on his disrespectful and disloyal actions.
Such abuse is the real insult to our nation.
Sophistry. We have been discussing and will continue to discuss all law enforcement/civil rights issues.
Kaepernick disrespecting the nation and it's citizens, is not contributing shit.
It is extremely divisive.
If you want to see disrespect for our nation, look at those bimbos who fly the confederate traitor flag right next to the Flag of the United States of America; a flag of filth within touching distance of our flag.
Your lack of knowledge of our history is noted and laughed at.
Who are you to revoke the policies of re-conciliation of our ancestors, the ones that actually ended slavery and the Confederacy?
YOur support of an Open Border is noted and held against you.
And as I understand it, having done it in church so many times, kneeling is a gesture of submission, not disrespect.
Are you seriously pretending to not understand that different rituals are different?
Sure. FIne. I will insult your intelligence by pretending to take you at your word.
Here is the definition of different. Learn.
1.
not the same as another or each other; unlike in nature, form, or quality.
THe ritual associated with the National Anthem, is DIFFERENT, than the ritual of Prayer.
I hope you will drop that sophistry now.
