I am very disappointed and annoyed Angry
too Over the pro athletes and other American
citizens Exercising their misguided
Freedom of expression During the National
Anthem With Old Glory waving live On a
stadium's viewing screen Or anywhere else!
Their respective reasons Regardless if
it's personal or collective For kneeling
and/or doing something else Other than to
express one's respect ... accordingly Is an
insulting mockery ... of A priceless unifying
symbol Of national pride!
It is like
... spitting on The constitution And the
Founding Fathers' other noble efforts; Our
brave, honorable ... active troops; Law
enforcement officers; Other first responders;
All their respective veterans; The grave of
every fallen hero; And the overwhelming
majority of Americans Who feel the same as I
do!
In fact, it is ironic and ignorant
That anyone looking back in history Relative
to that time period's cultural mindset, Bred
from many generations, Even before 1776
Can argue ... that today's Cultural and
social mindset Applies to the leaders of a
generation Over 200 hundred years ago
Without willing to grasp That there would be
No USA and Her freedoms Enjoyed today
Without gaining HER independence And the
noble efforts of the Founding Fathers!
America's history Is HER past With
striving not to repeat the unacceptable In
HER history And that is what Every
American should do Now and in the future!
