Kaepernick won’t stand during the national anthem.  Gutsy move for someone who depends on fellow American’s to support his lifestyle.  Endorsements, ticket sales, employment after professional football; these and more considerations must have gone through his mind when he decided to take a stand.  Gutsy move.

While others mindlessly stand and place their hands over their hearts, this guy took a stand by not standing.  This is a true American.  He does what he thinks is right no matter what others think.  I disagree with him, but I admire his courage.

I see others place their hands over their hearts as a sign of their belief in our country and it makes me sick.  These people (and you can guess who they might be) demonstrate acts of patriotism, but they do not love our country.  It amazes me that these people can look themselves in the mirror or sleep at night.  They do not share the central belief system of those they govern.

Someday, someday soon, these people will be cast off and relegated to the trash heap of civilization.  They will not have to pretend to be Americans much longer.  We will see who they really are.

I hope Karpernick will eventually stand for the national anthem.  I hope he will regain pride in all things American.  Until then, he should sit out the anthem.  Only those who believe in America should join those of us who renew our pledge to America every time we we stand, face the flag, and let America’s anthem wash over us.
