To him and millions more it is a joke.

Notice what color he is and that color of person in this country has ALL the privilege?

The anthem and pledge thing is stupid anyway. About time someone started pushing back, other than a few football players.

I have refused to stand for the anthem or the pledge for many years now. now I will take a knee if possible.

I remind people that the constitution prohibits loyalty oaths, which is what the pledge is.

Former President George Bush told a newspaper he is sorry he maligned this area by describing American Taliban fighter John Walker Lindh as "some misguided Marin County hot-tubber." ... I am chastened and will never use 'hot tub' and 'Marin County' in the same sentence again.
