Colin Kaepernick: The Flag Is Just A Piece Of Cloth
Daily Caller ^ | October 13, 2016 | David Hookstead

Posted on 10/14/2016 6:55:43 AM PDT by Zakeet

San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick believes that the flag of the United States is nothing more than simply a piece of cloth.

"At the end of the day the flag is just a piece of cloth and I am not going to value a piece of cloth over people's lives. That's just not something I can do, it's not something I feel morally right doing and my character won't allow me to do that," Kaepernick told reporters.

I’ve been to many military funerals, including my father’s and one brother’s. I doubt that this slug would have any appreciation and I know that he would have no respect. It’s better to keep a-holes like him away from normal people.

“The flag is just a piece of cloth.”

Go tell that to all those who fought and died for that flag and what it symbolizes, you ungratful fool.

Doubling down on his ass-hattery. I wonder how many more of his “sons of Obama” brethren will kneel or do the “black power” salute during the National Anthem in the future, further encouraging his petulant, idiotic “protest”.

Yeah, It's just a cloth that represents the millions of men and women who sacrificed their youth, delayed their futures and often their lives so that you could play a child's game on Television for millions of dollars a year. Freedom is not free and life is hard,. It's even harder when your stupid.

To NeedmorePaine - You asked for it! Here it is. More Paine - Thomas Paine - from his best seller "Common Sense".

The harder the conflict, the more glorious the triumph.

Government, even in its best state, is but a necessary evil; in its worst state, an intolerable one.

These are the times that try men's souls.

If there must be trouble, let it be in my day, that my child may have peace.

The real man smiles in trouble, gathers strength from distress, and grows brave by reflection.

What we obtain too cheap, we esteem too lightly; it is dearness only that gives everything its value.

Those who expect to reap the blessings of freedom must, like men, undergo the fatigue of supporting it.

We have it in our power to begin the world over again.

A long habit of not thinking a thing wrong gives it a superficial appearance of being right.

Kaepernick has the intelligence and insight of a teenager just realizing that there’s more to the world than comic books and video games. He’s playing the stooge for the liberal media, which has inflated his little balloon of incoherent, childish protest into the usual left-wing blimp of social justice grievances, but the guy’s a joke - his idea of political commentary is socks depicting police as pigs. It’s both laughable and sad that news sites are reporting his quotes.

Besides being a creepy person and a traitor, his I.Q. must be down around 30.

That is why it is put over caskets of the dead in honor, it is only a piece of cloth.

The future looks very challenging , pray for guidance.

What does one expect from a POS.

Rumors that he converted to islam or was considering it for his girlfriend kind of seals the deal for me.

Your jersey is just a piece of cloth, too.

Why don't you take that off and stop being a corporate shill for the Man.
