Breaking Radio Silence 2
To the O.P., as always I extend a warm welcome to the fantasy land that we call LPSG. Sadly and I stated multiple times, many people / not just our members, lack the capacity to distinguish fact , from fantasy; and this is what makes the world such a dangerous place.
I grew up in NY, where students recited the pledge of allegiance, at assemblies. However I remember a few students who would remain sitting, because of their religious background. I thought it strange; but it was explained to me that it was their belief. I later understood it was their Constitutionally protected right, to remain seated. .
But, before anyone labels me a Northern liberal, I also in a way grew in in NC, I come from an old family, predating the Civil War, by 2 generations . As far as I Know, family has fought and served in every US conflict in the past 200 + years. Pedigree put aside, my hands have helped feed America and other parts of the world for generations. Personally, I pay more taxes than many families make in a year..Living the American dream
Yet I can remember living in NYC and being targeted, by the police, because I should not legally been able to afford the car I was driving. Even though I was driving it to and from work. Please do not say, if you are not doing anything, you will not have any problems with the police. I have met some great and understanding officers; and I have met some profiling A-Holes.
The take a Knee Protest is not aimed at America; but a policy of injustice in America. It has nothing to do with Soldiers. Colin, is a person of conviction. Something this world is sadly in need of. In a world of sell your soul for a dollar, here is a person who risked millions to make a point. But back to the original post from Ms DaisyMay, I do not consider myself Anti American; and I support the action, even though it does not need my support, as it is supported in the constitution. I had an older sibling, who did not return home alive from a foreign conflict, based on what little I remember of him, I seriously doubt he would have a problem with anyone taking a knee
