Mr. Kaepernick: Taking A Knee?
Once again, not to be mistaken for Tuesday's With Morrie, it's Tuesdays With Trump....
Above, September 22nd, 2017, POTUS NFL speech.
This country was founded by a small group of rich crackers who owned a bunch of Django's. Those greedy crackers got sick of paying tribute to the King. We can only trade with them, and why split anything with those arses on the other side of the pond?
I want it all, and I want it now. So their tax evasion rallying cry was taxation without representation. Free trade and fair taxation, not good enough to motivate those without money to pick up a rifle and bayonet?
Let's spice up the offer, how about the promise of our own nation with freedom of assembly and speech? Still not good enough for those who could not read the flyer's being handed out, much less utter the tongue.
Third time always a charm? Throw in tyranny, freedom of religion and those poor, ignorant, illiterate masses will fight to the death for us. Django, er Bingo. A timeline follows.
1774 - First Continental Congress - it was a SECRET meeting regarding resistance to Parliament's coercive and intolerable acts. Resulted in a letter of grievances to the King, and a threat to boycott British goods (by law, we could not trade with others) if the intolerable acts were not repealed.
1776 - Declaration: We're coming out... We hold these Truths to be self-evident, that all Men are created equal, That they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness.
Revolutionary War: 1775 - 1783 - And while we are at it, let's fight a war about it.
Constitutional Convention: 1787 - 21 years after Declaration, let's frame a government.
Bill of Rights: 1791 - 25 years after Declaration, let's guarantee some rights.
Notice in this timeline, there is no framework prior to the war, just a declaration. So it was not obvious to Americans during and immediately after the Revolution what this system of self governance would be or how it would work. Remember this important detail.
Now that the historical record has been put in perspective.... flash forward to present day.
For those who have fought, all gave some, some gave all. We don't know them all, but we owe them all. They fought for...
Taxation with equal and equitable representation - with the whores on the hill, this no longer exists.
Freedom from religious persecution - yet all members of our elected government have a declared religion.
Freedom of peaceful assembly and expression - Social media monitoring, Echelon, Big Brother, they are watching.
All persons are created equal - and yet, in their 1857 Dred Scott decision, SCOTUS decided that black people were property and therefore had no rights?
That divisive, politically motivated and egregious error in jurisprudence led to the civil war. And 153 years later, Dred Scott is on the other foot as all corporations are created equal to people??
Is this Democracy and what so many fought and died, or took a knee for?

Wouldn’t you love to see one of these NFL owners, when somebody disrespects our flag, to say, “Get that son of a bitch off the field right now. Out. He’s fired. He’s fired!” You know, some owner is going to do that. He’s going to say, “That guy that disrespects our flag, he’s fired.” - POTUS Trump

"It has always been my understanding that the brave men and women who fought and died for our country did so to ensure that we could live in a fair and free society, which includes the right to speak out in protest." - Eric ReidMr. Reid is correct. However, many forget or do not have any clue of the following, because their revisionist history programming had a very high success rate.

There's nothing in the streets,
Looks any different to me,
And the slogans are replaced, by the bye,
And a parting on the left,
Is now a parting on the right,
And the beards have all grown longer overnightMore to come in Mr. Kaepernick: Kneeling To Pray? Stay tuned, no flippin.
