You do not need to tell me what is anti- American and folks can say "foundation of the country" all they want. I view disrespecting the very symbol of this freedom as going against the Foundation of our country. The radical Muslim has the right to preach and protest that Sharia should be the law of our Nation and the white supremacists has the right to protest and preach his hate; however, anyone that opposes their message is not someone I would consider extremely anti-American.  

Finally, I didn't say FSK made the flag; not sure where you got that.   

I never called anyone who opposes the message anti-American, but opposes their right to do it. You haven't been someone who thinks these people should be punished or have started a boycott against the NFL so nothing you are doing in anti-American in my eyes. But there are people out there who are completely outraged and think these people should not be allowed to kneel for the flag. That is what drives me crazy. Personally, I think they should be allowed and it is extremely fascist to FORCE people in this nation to drone on about how great this country is or force kids to parrot a poem in school that they probably don't even pay attention to what they are saying. They are disrespecting a flag that represents a government that they feel disrespects them and it seems like the most effective way to get the country talking.

Nah, not what I said.
