America should take a knee

Take a new in support of women's rights for your fourth of july

Taking a Knee” is NOT by definition disrespectful. Soldiers “Take a Knee” to show respect for fallen comrades. People kneel in Church to pray and show respect.

Disrespect would be continuing to sit while the National Anthem is played.

Those that stand and then “Take a Knee,” both show respect and are making a statement that they feel needs to be make.

i'm afraid that "taking a knee' in the US is a sign of disrespect for the flag and for "the republic for which it stands".
Your comment is rude and very shallow.
@laotzu92 if you think kneeling is offensive, look what I intend to do with your triple ply extra absorbent flag.

@TheLustyLord Please note my private reply.
@laotzu92 No I don’t think I will. It’s probably as much use as the flag that’s about to take a trip up sludge alley

Soph03 · 18-21, F
@MarineBob no they don't
MarineBob · 56-60, M
@Soph03 then they should take a knee for themselves

I thought the same thing, in all events possible, take a knee and see who supports you.
Gangstress · 41-45, F

Supporting basic human rights is patriotic.

Few understand why it is our national anthem you should under stand the point of view on the artist who wrote it.

@SW-User [quote]I see it as disrespect or willingness to obey![/quote]
It was a decorated Green Beret, Nate Boyer, who suggested to Colin K that rather than sitting as a form of protest, kneeling would send the message of protest while still showing respect for our country. Taking a knee is non-violent, non-destructive and silent.

@SW-User I suppose you’re not religious, then. That I understand, neither am I.
