We, American citizens who are retired and active duty
service members, express our outrage that the NBA and NFL permit players to not stand for the Star
Spangled Banner and disrespect the men and women—black and white—who made
sacrifices in service to our nation. They should apologize to service members
and the Gold Star Mothers whose sons and daughters made the ultimate sacrifice.
Below are images which depict why we stand for the Star
Spangled Banner.
Sports teams make billions of dollars and the black people
who engage in the despicable conduct of taking a knee during the playing of the
Star Spangle Banner are paid millions of dollars to play sports by their fans—black
and white.
Yet, they have the gall to disrespect the very nation that made their
opportunities possible and expend trillions of taxpayer money to help poor
people.
Since the War on Poverty began under President Lyndon Johnson, it has
cost $22 trillion—three times more than what the government has spent on all
wars in American history. It hasn't led to a drop in the poverty rate, which
remains close to the same level it was when the War on Poverty began. Click here for more details.
Black protestors claim they are protesting racism and “inequality.”
Yet, they support the Democratic Party that is responsible for the deplorable conditions
in black neighborhoods against which they are protesting.
As author Michael
Scheuer wrote, the Democratic Party is the party of the four S’s: slavery,
secession, segregation and now socialism. Democrats have run black communities for
over 50 years and the socialist policies of Democrats have ruined those communities.
It is the Democratic Party, not our nation, which should be held accountable
for black grievances.
What other nation has torn itself
apart, pitted white brother against white brother in a Civil War to free black
people from slavery?
In the Civil War, over 600,000 white Republicans gave
their lives to free blacks from slavery. After the Civil War, the
Democratic Party fought to deny black civil rights enshrined in our
Constitution and guaranteed in legislation by Republicans. Democrats also started the Ku Klux Klan that
became the terrorist arm of the Democratic Party and launched a reign of terror
against Republicans—black and white—to keep blacks in virtual slavery. The Klan
killed over 3,000 Republicans, 1,000 of them white.
Our country deserves respect for it's sacrifices for black freedom and equality, not condemnation.
