Student sits during pledge of allegiance; gets chair kicked out from beneath him

[Court Jester]

I'm a hard core republican that has canceled my Indiana colts season tickets for myself and my customers for kneeling bs, but that's some bad parenting on the kicker's part.

This bullshit of vilifying protest, is childish peer pressure on a political scale. 

The soldiers of WW2 fought against a state that demanded blind loyalty. If you want to live in states that vilify dissent and shame, try Saudi Arabia or North Korea. 

The ritual is just that. The Constitution and oath of office are LAW, and part of that is upholding the individual's free speech, kneeling isn't dishonoring that concept, it is not saying those who do it hate America. It is very American to speak to power and point out problems. 

I vomit when I read posts like this knowing you'd look at the history footage of this, then bitch about Americans protesting here. Is this what you want America to become? 

I don't care about protests at all. I've never had one change my opinion on any subject in the least. Everyone has a right to their own opinion, as do I. I think the parents of the kid that kicked the chair out should probably discipline their kid a little better and teach him to accept other's opinions as their own. Doesn't mean he has to be friends with the other kid either.

Same with the football tickets. They have every right to take all the knees that they want. I don't care. They can all spank off and splooge on the side line during the national anthem for all I care. That would actually be comical as hell to see really. I also have the right to let my eight seats sit empty this season and save the money next season.
