OK...so for about 3 minutes a week they "take a knee"What have they done in all the other minutes to solve the problems they are highlighting? Have they initiated any educational incentives? Any programs directed towards what you need to do to be successful? A discussion concerning your responsibilities if you father a child or if you are the mother of a child the care of the child is your personal responsibility, not the taxpayer and every entitlement program known to mankind. What have they done??? Just BS no substance no personal involvement. Am I wrong?? I have not seen anything these guys are involved in.

What values and principals would those be? That Black and White kids couldn’t go to school together? That we were so superior African-Americans couldn’t even use the same bathroom as us, that they couldn’t v**e? Or was it that industry could work you to the bone, subject you to hazards of all kinds, with no responsibility, while paying you peanuts? That they could dump any kind of crap into our rivers, streams and oceans, until one of them caught fire, until they created Love Canal, or that they pumped any crap they wanted into the air, creating acid rain? You donald rump supporters, if you’re allowed to, just might run this country into the ground backing that unqualified, incapable, self serving wart on the nose of humanity.

I dont know whk wrote thus, but I really like it.

Take a knee...

Take a little trip to Valley Forge in January. Hold a musket ball in your
Fingers and imagine it piercing your flesh and breaking a bone or two.
There won't be a doctor or trainer to assist you until after the battle, so
Just wait your turn. Take your cleats and socks off to get a real
Experience.

Then, take a knee on the beach in Normandy where man after American man
Stormed the beach, even as the one in front of him was shot to pieces, the
Very sea stained with American blood. The only blockers most had were the
Dead bodies in front of them, riddled with bullets from enemy fire.

Take a knee in the sweat soaked jungles of Vietnam. From Khe Sanh to
Saigon, anywhere will do. Americans died in all those jungles. There was no
Playbook that told them what was next, but they knew what f**g they
Represented. When they came home, they were protested as well, and spit on
For reasons only cowards know.

Take another knee in the blood drenched sands of Fallujah in 110 degree
Heat. Wear your Kevlar helmet and battle dress. Your number won't be
Printed on it unless your number is up! You'll need to stay hydrated but
There won't be anyone to squirt Gatorade into your mouth. You're on your
Own.

There are a lot of places to take a knee where Americans have given their
Lives all over the world. When you use the banner under which they fought
As a source for your displeasure, you dishonor the memories of those who
Bled for the very freedoms you have. That's what the red stripes mean. It
Represents the blood of those who spilled a sea of it defending your
Liberty.

While you're on your knee, pray for those that came before you, not on a
Manicured lawn striped and printed with numbers to announce every inch of
Ground taken, but on nameless hills and bloodied beaches and sweltering
Forests and bitter cold mountains, every inch marked by an American life
Lost serving that f**g you protest.

No cheerleaders, no announcers, no coaches, no fans, just American men and
Women, delivering the real fight against those who chose to harm us,
Blazing a path so you would have the right to "take a knee." You haven't
Any inkling of what it took to get you where you are, but your "protest" is
Duly noted. Not only is it disgraceful to a nation of real heroes, it
Serves the purpose of pointing to your ingratitude for those who chose to
Defend you under that banner that will still wave long after your jersey is
Retired.

If you really feel the need to take a knee, come with me to church on
Sunday and we'll both kneel before Almighty God. We'll thank Him for
Preserving this country for as long as He has We'll beg forgiveness for our
Ingratitude for all He has provided us. We'll appeal to Him for
Understanding and wisdom. We'll pray for liberty and justice for all,
Because He is the one who provides those things. But there will be no
Protest. There will only be gratitude for His provision and a plea for His
Continued grace and mercy on the land of the free and the home of the
Brave. It goes like this, GOD BLESS AMERICA

of all the ways one can protest, why has it to be the f**g. they say it is not disrespectful to veterans. well, I am a wounded Viet Nam veteran and I feel they disrespect me every time they kneel, to say nothing about the thousands of those thru the years that did not return. it's been 50 years since I came home, but I will never forget how we were treated in our own country. I was never spit on, but it was funny that I couldn't find a job until I stopped listing my military service on job applications. I get thanked often now for my service, and it feels great. just wish it would have happened 50 years ago.
