There are those Americans who love their country, who are grateful for the rights and freedoms their nation grants them, who celebrate America's successes and acknowledge its failures, who praise its strengths and forgive its weaknesses, who respect and honor the price many Americans have paid to defend their country, who do not need a f*cking law requiring them to stand when the anthem is played.
Then there are those thankless cretins who despise America, who see America as the land of the gallows tree and the home of the slave, who see America as the world's bully, the oppressor, the trouble maker, whose desire is to "fundamentally transform America" into something it was never meant to be. There are those ingrates, those pampered, overpaid pussies in their pretty suits and pads and cleats who have gotten the best America has to give, whose prosperity exceeds by far the great majority of America's citizens, who have taken every advantage of America's free market for their own personal gain and gratification yet whose contempt for those who made it possible is nearly boundless. And, there are the malcontents who see these craven cowards as heroes.
I remember the day in July 1969 when people all over the world cheered America, who prayed for the success of our astronauts, who stood in the streets from London to Tokyo, waving American flags as they watched the TV screens and ticker marquees as two men descended a ladder to walk on the moon.
I remember the day in February 1980 when a group of American college kids stunned the world when they beat the greatest professional hockey team on earth and went on to win the Olympic Gold medal.
Now, we see gangs of racist pricks kneeling on America's finest gridirons telling the greatest nation on earth to get f*cked.
And, last and least, we see legions of sniveling worms like DJRich who cheer them on.
There are those Americans who love their country, ... (

GREAT POST!!!
It was Kaepernick who started this self-serving, kneeling fiasco and he stated that his reason was bias toward blacks and people of color. Let's check it out:
Approximately 625,000 WHITE men died in the Civil War to FREE BLACK SLAVES - more Americans than in World War I, World War II, the Korean War and the Vietnam War COMBINED.
In 1860, the year of the Civil War - NO REPUBLICAN OWNED A SLAVE - ZERO!!! All of the slaves in the United States were owned by DEMOCRATS!!
FYI - 13th AMENDMENT: Abolished Slavery
100% Republican Support - 23% Democrat Support
14th AMENDMENT: Gave Citizenship to Freed Slaves
94% Republican Support - 0% Democrat Support
15th AMENDMENT: RIGHT TO VOTE FOR ALL
100% Republican Support - 0% Democrat Support
By 2010, interracial marriages in the U.S. climbed to 4.8 million (more than 15%) - a record 1 in 12 - as a steady flow of Blacks are now substantially more likely than before to marry whites.
Multi-millionaires like Oprah, Serena Williams, Tiger Woods, Derek Jeter, Magic Johnson, Halle Berry, Beyonce, Will Smith, Usher, Lebron James, Sean Combs, Mariah Carey, Tyler Perry, Colin Kaepernick, and so many more, are indicative of how talented black people have become so successful.
White people, however, are privileged. We are never subjected to bias - we're supremists. We all have jobs - though most of our hard-earned salaries go to paying taxes, entitlements for illegals, the incarceration of criminals, and redistribution. Caucasians are never demeaned or ridiculed. There are no slurs used to describe whites - that is, perhaps with the exceptions of: whitey, cracker, honkey, mick, ginzo, greaseballs, wop, guido, kraut, Heeb, Hebe, Hymie, Kike, Sheeny, Shylock, Yid, redneck, white trash, trailer trash, hillbilly, hick, bumpkin, etc.
It is also understood that no whites are indigent enough to need welfare or food stamps. We are all rich and we all have slaves. We have everything handed to us on a silver platter - RIGHT?
We all have problems - we all have struggles - but it's not the fault of the flag, or the National Anthem - or the principles of our Country!! It is the fault of the worst among us - the violent, the cruel, the heartless, the apathetic.
Yes, we should kneel - not to protest our homeland and her iconic symbols - but to pray for unity, for love, and to the Lord of us all.
