You don't get to tell people how they can express their political

Yep, you are absolutely correct. I can't, nor can anyone else tell
them
how to express their beliefs.

I can, however, point out the idiocy of their ways.

That's what this country stands for... not some shitty song, or
colored rag.

Nobody fought or died for a piece of cloth or a tune. It's what they >>>>> represent that people died for.

That's right, it represents freedom, which is what, in large part,
those
people died for.

So when you protest the representation (e.g. the flag, the anthem), you >>>> protest what it represents, which is freedom. If you protest freedom, >>>> the implication is that you support oppression.

Conclusion: the players manifestly support oppression, which is what
they say that they are against.

Seems about right.

A government that allows it's representatives to single out a racial
group for extermination isn't a bastion freedom, no matter what the
lyrics say.

?

Which group is allowed by government to exterminate?

The ones they're shooting in the back 8 times for a broken tail light.

To which incident(s) are you referring?

The ones they're choking to death on the street for selling cigarettes.

To which incident(s) are you referring?

The ones they're shooting while sitting in their cars minding their own business.

To which incident(s) are you referring?

You know... those kinds of people.

You're obsessing over a song and a piece of cloth while black men are
being murdered for little to no reason - and for no crime and without
benefit of trial.

Freedom, my ass.

Perhaps you can point out where in the anthem or Constitution there is
institutional support for 'black men being murdered'.

Perhaps you should go fuck yourself.

You insist the flag is a symbol of our country, but don't want to hold
the people who work for that country accountable.

Here is a published list of police shooting for 2015 to 2017.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/graphics/national/police-shootings-2017/

There is definitely a disproportionate deaths suffered by black
Americans and this is one of the problems they are trying to address.
They get shot for the most mundane situations. Some of the shootings are outright slaughter. Police rage, there are no consequences.

If I were a black American, I would be terrified to step outside. I
might never come back home.

I don’t want to speak for the black Americans, they are very capable
voicing the inequalities they see every day. As I see it, “Black lives matter” is not exclusive, they are saying their lives matter as much as
other Americans. They want “make America great again” to be an inclusive thing. Many with an agenda have characterized “Black lives matter” as a collective yell of hatred. There are many reasons for this, political
gain is at the forefront.

Kneeling is in prayer to God for a better life.

On Monday�s Mark Levin show, It�s Columbus Day, but not in Los
Angeles where they are celebrating the city�s first Indigenous
People�s Day. Yes this is another point of history where we are
supposed to espouse the left, because all these people in our past
were not as great as Al Sharpton, Chuck Schumer, Barack Obama or
Nancy Pelosi. The left is busy defacing monuments of Columbus and
others, because according to them America is a terrible place and
leftists are the only perfect people. The truth is that we don�t
know what Indigenous People�s Day means as research is showing that
the first Americans may have been descended from people out of
Southeast Asia, particular Australia. The city of Los Angeles
doesn�t know what indigenous means either. The goal is to trash the
country and trash America�s Founding. The left believes that what
Christopher Columbus did in discovering America must be destroyed
and ripped out from the history books. The people who are attacking
Columbus Day know exactly what they are doing. It is the Marxist
left and social justice warriors that are behind this. They want to
destroy Americanism. Also, all of us should celebrate Columbus Day,
because what Columbus brought to this country was a modern world, so
we could live the way we live today. It was not paradise before
Columbus came, not in the least. The pre-Columbus world was harsh.
For example, the Aztec�s practiced human sacrifice and treated
conquered tribes lethally. In addition, what Mike Pence did by
leaving the NFL game because of the protest was courageous. He has
exposed the NFL players. People are accusing Pence of making a
choreographed move, yet the NFL players taking a knee is
choreographed. Protests by NFL players have lost all substance. They
have taken their celebrity status and abused it with their protest.
If you are really a social justice warrior prove it. What most
sportscasters and mouth pieces don�t understand is that the regular
working people who watch the NFL do not support the players taking a
knee. Later, Bob Corker was happy to eviscerate the Treaty Clause of
the Constitution with the Iran deal. The Treaty Clause requires
two-thirds of Senators to agree to ratify treaties. Alexander
Hamilton explained in Federalist 75 that if we were to have legal
arrangements with another country, more than one man should be
involved.

On Monday�s Mark Levin show, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell
has a stunning dearth of knowledge when it comes to the Tea Party.
He doubled down on his support for establishment candidates saying conservatives simply cannot win general elections. McConnell needs a
history lesson on the Tea Party. Marco Rubio. Mike Lee. Rand Paul.
Ted Cruz. These are but a few winning Tea Party candidates that were
opposed by the establishment but are now key figures in the
Republican majority. The Senate is not going to embrace conservative
principles or deal with the debt unless Mitch McConnell is thrown
out of office. After that Ambassador to Israel, Ron Dermer calls in
to talk about the Iran deal. President Trump gave a historic speech
in presenting his decertification of the deal. Trump�s speech
signified that America has a President that is ready to take on
Iran. This is a militant Islamic regime that wants to export its
radical ideology around the world. The Iran deal was a very bad deal
and put the International Community on cruise control heading over a
cliff. Trump could have kicked the can down the road but has made
the responsible decision in decertifying. When Israelis and Arabs
are supportive of something that tells you it is pretty sound
policy. Later, some think that the NFL teams are colluding against
Colin Kaepernick to keep him off the field. Maybe it is because he
just isn�t that good. He and other NFL players take a knee for
police brutality, but there is not systemic racial violence done by
police. However, there is systemic violence against the police. In
2016,118 law enforcement officers died in line of duty compared to
86 the year before. In addition, another 57,000 officers were
assaulted in the line of duty and 16,000 of those sustained
injuries.

On Monday�s Mark Levin Show, If NFL fans are systemically racist like
Roger Goodell says, then people should want nothing to do with the
league. If these professional sports owners and athletes think America
has racist DNA then we should abandon the NFL, NBA, and the like. If
we are racist then Goodell should step down and let an African American
take his job. Interestingly, many of these sports-millionaire�s
specifically choose not to live in the communities that are being
plagued by poor Democrat policies, like Watts, Harlem, or the South
Side of Chicago and it�s not because they hate the police � it�s
because these hypocrites don�t want to live in neighborhoods with high
crime rates. Later, Speaker Pelosi chimes in on the �Defund the Police�
hype. Kamala Harris, the former Chief Law Enforcement Officer of the
State of California claims to be re-balancing and re-imagining public
safety, despite these same cities being under their Democrat control
for half of a century. Afterward, while the left claims that America
is systemically racist, the number of interracial marriages approaches
nearly 20% of all marriages in the U.S. There are politicians that
commit crimes and we�ve never defunded them, this just proves that
police are being unfairly targeted.
