Burning the American flag in the middle of the national anthem

There's always some topic of the week that's got people on both sides upset.  People are mad about some NFL player not standing during the anthem this week.  Give me a fucking break. 

You think he should be fired for not standing during the anthem because soldiers gave their lives for his freedom?  You think he's ungrateful?  You think he hates America?  Here's a thought....maybe he was trying to make people think.  I don't care about what some athlete has to say.  They're probably not that intelligent just like the majority of the population. 

If you had an original thought rolling around in that head of yours you'd probably thought about not covering your heart during that song or maybe not removing your hat.  You know why?  It's strange.  If you've ever been to a sporting even you've seen the entire crowd of people take off their hats and stand quietly during the anthem.  Why do they do it?  They do it to show respect to the country. 

So, you're showing respect to every idea in the country or do you go somewhere in your head and pick out the ideas of the country that make you feel good?  The majority of people don't like the ideas being pushed by their government.  The same people mad at that NFL guy are upset at Obama.  If you don't like Obama or your government and you want it back don't stand during the anthem.  If you don't like America right now use your legs to show it.  Sit in your chair.  Chances are you're just standing with your hand over your heart because everyone else is doing it.  If that's you congratulations you robotic coward.  You have no idea why you're doing it you just want to blend in.  You honestly don't believe you have to do it do you?  What's the difference between saying "make America great again" and not standing during the anthem?

"I pledge allegiance to the Flag of the United States of America and to the Republic for which it stands, one nation, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all."

How can you have liberty if you're pledging your allegiance to the republic? Forcing people to recite that in school in a free nation is strange.

I think there's some factory pumping out memes to get the masses all worked up picking sides.  It's a way to get all the ants on one side or the other.  Cough, rush limbaugh, sean hannity, etc.  Talk about power hungry nationalists.  They'd sell America in a second for money or power.

So, do you believe in an idea?  Great!  Make your own meme or put it in your own words and stop this group think.  You aren't an ant.
