Liar.Headline this morning about black athletes refusing to stand for national anthem and idiotic RW faux outrage saying they should leave the country and/or not being allowed to play their sport.
IOW, they want what N Korea, China and China have. They want what Drumpf and his kkk followers are preaching.
If we value our rights and freedoms, we will celebrate that the state cannot force us to pay homage to it. Same with burning the flag. Its only a piece of fabric but it symbolizes the millions of deaths that give us the right to burn it. Another that comes to mind is the Hustler publisher who tested the First Amendment with his magazine.
I believe we need cases like this to constantly push against and test the First Amendment.
The case of Gawker being forced out of business is frightening because, very literally, money is what killed it. Trump's promises and threats to hamstring the First Amendment and journalissts are also very frightening and I'm just as afraid of his choice for veep.

Trump did not threaten to hamstring the first amendment.
