I strongly suspect that if Trump knelt while the Anthem was being played and said he was protesting racial injustice, lefties would question his patriotism.

Liberals have already called his love of our country into question, claiming he doesn't know the words to a patriotic song.

Their "reverence" for symbolic patriotism seems to be highly situational.

Perhaps Kim will get him on his knees.

And high time, it has always been an illusion.

“[A social division exists] between the rich and the poor, the laborious and the idle, the learned and the ignorant. … Nothing, but force, and power and strength can restrain [the latter].” —John Adams in a letter to Thomas Jefferson (1787)

As for americans being free to protest?

In 1979, Trudell’s controversial career in politics came to a sudden end. Hours after he burned an American flag in protest on the steps of the FBI headquarters in Washington, D.C., Trudell’s pregnant wife, three children and mother-in-law were killed in a suspicious house fire on a Nevada reservation. He retreated from the public eye, and spent the next four years driving a car throughout North America. It was during this time that Trudell’s voice as a poet began to surface, giving him a new expression for his powerful opinions and raw emotions.

“About six months after the fire…these lines came into my head and something told me to write them down and not stop writing them,” said Trudell. “They’re called poems but in reality they’re lines given to me to hang on to.”

In 1983 Trudell began to put what he called his “hanging on lines” to music with the help of friend and fellow activist Jackson Browne and Kiowa guitar legend the late Jesse Ed Davis. The recordings drew the attention of musicians, activists and critics and put Trudell into the realm of social theorist and philosopher. In his musical and film career, Trudell has worked with the likes of Robert Redford (Incident at Oglala), Sam Shepard and Val Kilmer (Thunderheart), Kris Kristofferson, Bonnie Raitt, Jackson Browne and Amy Ray of the Indigo Girls. Angelina Jolie produced Trudell’s most recent album, Bone Days, and executive produced TRUDELL, the documentary.

“You have a lot of people, in the NFL in particular, but in sports leagues, they’re not proud enough to stand for our national anthem. I don’t like that,” Trump said. “We have a great country, you should stand for our national anthem. You shouldn’t go in a locker room when our national anthem is played."

I am going to ask all of those people to recommend to me, because that's what they're protesting, people that they think were unfairly treated by the justice system," he added.

Trump continued: “I’m going to ask them to recommend to me people that were unfairly treated … friends of theirs or people that they know about, and I’m going to take a look at those applications.”

I seem to recall some people thought that making obeisance to foreign leaders is a statesmanlike measure of respect.

The fact that Hillary isn't currently infesting the Oval Office is what makes Don a winner, isn't it?

That is merely your opinion. You are saying, consider our feelings before you protest at this place and this time but ignoring the feelings of the ones who feel compelled to protest. If feelings were being considered then maybe protesting wouldn't need to a thing.

The nfl kneelers made a bad choice, since whatever their actual agenda is, it is not what gets discussed. All the political discussion is about the inappropriate time and place that they chose, not whatever it is that they are protesting. If anything, the kneelers have only rallied resentment toward whatever their cause is. They would be far better off protesting politics in a political setting.

I didn't name the forum membership list a "Community". That was the owner of JustPlainPolitics LLC.

You're on the list, therefore you're a member of our little community.

No.

All that's being discussed is how far up Don's skirt they got and what a twist his knickers are in that they will not stay in their place.
