[QUOTE="TwoForFlinching, post: 3541029, member: 24500"] It's an odd topic. A person can both support a constitutional right to kneel and not support kneeling before the flag. It's not a with us/against us all or nothing scenario. I imagine the exclusivity or that type of thinking probably came about like most things these days... the media grabs it and makes it a political issue. The same/same media tells you to you choose a side and people adopt a train of thought. Then those opinions and talking points get regurgitated by both sides of the issue, ironically becoming a virtue signal among each community of political thought. I'm surprised, here we are five years later still circling the wagons over picking a side when the truth is, to be an American patriot, you never had to. If CNN suddenly became conservative tomorrow, Fox News would flip liberal on Wednesday. It's not about upholding sacred beliefs, it's about finding a niche demographic, driving ratings, and selling advertising. [/QUOTE]
