Colin Kaepernick has been successful at dividing much of the US

[Lou Newton]

To say that Colin Kaepernick was not showing disrespect for our flag, our anthem, and our nation is silly. We stand during the anthem and the flag to show respect for the ones who shed their blood to protect our Republic. He was refusing to stand and showed that by getting on one knee. He has a Muslim girlfriend and has traveled to nations of Islam to further criticize our nation while praising Islam.

Islam is against freedom. They ALL are required to follow SHARIA law. Sharia law says that anyone who leaves Islam is required to be beheaded. Women are treated like property. The husband has the right to beat his wife. This is all part of Sharia law.

So now I see a large part of our nation supporting this Muslim supporter because of their hate for the opposing views of our POTUS. His views are nothing compared to the Muslim views of Kaepernick.

Trump never said that these players did not have the right to protest. He did not say they should be put in jail. But owners also have freedom to run their business as they see fit. If you owned a business and an employee was ruining your business, you certainly have the right to fire him.

Trump was simply saying that if these players decide to disrespect our flag then he thinks they should be fired. If I owned the 49ers, I would have fired Kaepernick that same day he refused to stand.

The person who has divided us is Kaeparnick and that is exactly why he did what he did.

I have many friends and relatives, including my son who STOOD for our nation and risked their life, or even gave their life for you, me and our nation. I will certainly STAND to honor their service when the anthem is played and no one will steal this as a protest for some other issue. My son has serious injuries from serving our nation and when some football player ( who makes millions for playing a game) tries to dishonor his service I will not only stand to honor my son, but I will stand against this kind of selfishness and ignorance. The standing for the national anthem is to honor these who paid a high price to protect our nation and NO ONE will steal this to use as a personal protest for their own cause. There are other places and times to protest any cause they choose, but NOT when these who sacrificed so much are being honored. Many paid with their very LIFE, can we not at least give them this honor at every opportunity we have.

I think your heart is in the right place, Lou. But it isn't Kaeparnick that "divided us". Division is being pushed by those in power, on false premises. The tactic is called Strategy of Tension, you can look it up.

Unfortunately, because of the ingenious fraud committed against us for generations by foreign corporations, we're fooled into accepting that we have a nation which is USA. Even before Lincoln incorporated the federal government it was not a nation. 150 years of highly successful fraud does not make it a nation; each state is a sovereign nation apart from the USA, the federal government is not. When you pledge allegiance to that flag and the USA, it is a pledge of fealty (pledging is a feudal tradition). So to you this pledge means all of what you said, as it once did to me. But to the ones defrauding us it is our verbal commitment to be ruled by them, and give them all our stuff, our bodies, and children. It's one very sneaky and important facet of the great fraud.

I have not been following this Kaeparnick thing closely. I would expect his heart is not in the right place. And he is definitely not informed in the things that I am, so I can't even say he is misunderstood. That is a peripheral issue, really.

We should value our heroes, and honor them at every chance. I'm a veteran, so you can know I mean what I say with regards to that. But I disagree that the "national" flag, anthem and pledge are the patriotic, sensible, and safe way to do it. In my opinion, Americans need to learn about how we were defrauded, what it means, and struggle through the righteous indignation that will follow. And then we can begin to address what can be done to get back what was stolen. And what was stolen includes our fathers, brothers, and sons - and now mothers, sisters, daughters - who were sent off to war for ostensibly just causes, which were virtually all fraud and high crimes against humanity. God have mercy on us.

Isaac, thank you for your service, sir. Lord bless you.

A friend said, and I have to agree, that it's reprehensible that highly paid entertainers use their performance time that fans paid for to push political agendas. They're paid to entertain. They ought to be fined or fired for misconduct. But, you know, this is the new age. Anything goes. (And I would be surprised if they weren't put up to it and paid handsomely.) I find it equally reprehensible that people will be annoyed, but let it slide and stick around to watch the performance rather than walking out to show their disgust or disagreement. And they'll come back and pay for next week's game, too. So I guess I do have an opinion about it. :)

Thanks for your reply Barry. Yes, Kaepenick is not truly the one who divides us, but some would say that men in very powerful places have done so. Of course we all know it is also not truly any man of flesh that divides us, but Satan.

Ephesians 6:12 (NIV)


¹² For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.

Kapenick is but a tool of Satan. But it is good to be aware of the moves of Satan, and the tools he uses.

I do not look upon the anthem, or the flag, as a symbol of men that rule us, but I look upon them as a reminder of the brave men who sacrificed for freedom. I do not say the "pledge" at all, for my allegiance is to The Lord Jesus alone.

BTW, is was not Isaac that served in the Gulf war but my oldest son Brant. Some do not look upon it as a true war. But is was war, and all war is "hell". The months before they crossed the border were very difficult. They were camped in a desert that was 120 degrees and had to wear NBC suits for hours. Many passed out from the heat. Water was rationed and that made it very difficult. The sand fleas were terrible. They were under constant warnings of chemical or nuclear attack. When they did attack the army of Iraq it was war. Not all of the army of Iraq surrendered. They had men trying to kill them and they had to take human lives. Brant had to put some fellow marines in body bags.

But the whole experience changed my son. He seen first hand what a Muslim nation is like. It was not a nation of peace, but a land of hypocrisy, immorality and hate. He was very very thankful to come back to the USA. With all of our problems, I do not know of any place of this earth that is better.

Thanks Barry. Amen to that.
