Taking a knee during the National Anthem


I think a good way to respond to those incensed at football players, and others, who take a knee during the National Anthem is this...

You seem to be upset at the "disrespect" and "unpatriotic" action of sitting or taking a knee during the National Anthem yet not one word of disgust towards foreigners attempting to influence this election with illegally hacked emails. That makes you a partisan not a patriot.

are the same ones who are hoarding weapons in the event that they should need to take up arms against the government.

They hate this protest but fly rebel flags. The last time I checked, the rebel flag was flown in war by an army who fought against the US government.
