    Kneeling is a sign of respect and fealty.. You know that the thief Tom Price stands for the anthem because he's a REAL patriot..

    Fred C. Dobbs keeps asking straw man questions, like those above.

    He is not here to discuss just poke. "Not just once more."

    Many millions stand for the anthem of their countries and Tom Price, according to you, is one of the many millions of Americans who stands for his anthem. Where is your complaint?.

    Nonsense as usual. Tom Price steals from the American tax payer while standing or kneeling for the anthem.

    So an American citizen either stands or kneels for the anthem. Is that breaking news in your area?

    Everyone can stand for the anthem. Are you claiming there are some restrictions or are you trying to divert the thread elsewhere?

    No actually what I said was I dislike bigoted ignorant white people. Even you should be able to figure out that isn't a racist statement, nor does it imply I only dislike bigoted ignorant white people. Read the definition of racism one more time. Maybe you will finally learn what the term means.

    Now if I had said that all white people are bigoted and ignorant that would be racist. Can you understand the difference?

    That's exactly what it implies, otherwise why even include the description of white

    It's a straightforward way of stating that the rest of you are too mentally lazy to look behind the screen to see what is really going on.

    They are insulting the flag AND Americans who will not stand up for Black Lives Matter values on race and equality. A value system that believes blacks should encounter police at the same rates as whites even though they are more than twice as likely to commit violent crime.
    The police higher level of contacts with blacks has as much to do with race as the police higher level of contacts with men has to do with sexism. NOT AT ALL.

    You probably haven't actually learned anything since you ended your education in ninth grade. That is why I kindly posted the definition of racism. Saves you guys the effort of having to learn about dictionaries.

    Don't thank me. I enjoy public service.

    Neither liberal nor spin, my answer easily put the blame where it belongs: in the lap of the far right who won't accept American history.

    That is an excellent description of the Alt Right and the Far Left.

    Guess you didn't bother to read the post that demonstrated that unarmed blacks are shot and killed at a much higher rate than their percentage of the population justifies. Do the research and learn.

    No; it is a way of describing progressive Marxist tools.

    dixon76710 has real trouble with real American history. Well, scores of millions of "Americans" do, indeed.

    Give us specific examples of Marxists doing such things. You have to make links and you have never been able to do that.

    Your position is clear. That's fine. Just don't try to project the image the left has earned onto the right. The anger at the NFL's disrespect is just as justified as anger over the perceived issue with law enforcement and people of color. Mocking those who resent the disrespect for our veterans and their sacrifice with a duck video, leads me to believe that you share their disrespect.

    My father in law is a retired Marine. Would you like an opportunity to call him a mad duck to his face?

    (1) The NFL is correct to be concerned about LEO and to protest it in a venue that brings max exposure. They are respectful to virtues of the Anthem and the Flag while kicking virtually in the face those Americans who are not.

    (2) I disrespect anyone who will not take the time to honestly become informed about ALL of our history.

    (3) Credentials?

    My great-grandfather served in the Filipino Insurrecto. My grandfather was an Artillery officer in WWI. My father and step father were Army and Marine infantry, respectively, with service on Tarawa, Saipan, Guam, the Philippines, and both on Okinawa. They were PH awardees and won medals of valor several times. My uncle drove a glider in the pre-dawn darkness into Normandy. My mother's fiancee was shot down and killed over Italy. My stepfather fought and was wounded in Korea. My cousin was badly wounded in Vietnam. My brother was a career Air Force NCO. I served twelve years in the infantry and earned the Parachute Badge and have a 100% VA disability pension.

    Not one of us ever would have voted for an immoral cretin like Trump.

    Our family supported Civil Rights from the 1920s right up to and including today. We are anti racialism, nativism, ethnocentrism, and white supremacy. We are from France, Sweden, and Holland, and not one of us has ever had truck with 'isms of the far right or the far let.

    (4) I don't know your father in law, and I honor his service.

    But I certainly don't honor Americans who cannot understand what America is all about while trying to drag it back to the 1950s and beyond.

    Capiche?

    I do, and I am so proud of the NFL trying to uphold the virtues of the Flag and the Anthem.
