Do keep “vanity” posts to a minimum - Free Republic is primarily a place to discuss news, articles, and editorials.
Vanity posts, creations of the poster him or herself, should meet a high standard of quality before one is even considered worthy of posting.
Often a relevant current thread or general announcement, catch-all thread is a much better choice for a brief question or comment.

I agree with you. But, as an American History buff, I cannot remain silent as these few NFL, NBA, MLB buffoons and morons try to bad mouth & mock over their flag, their National Anthem, their military, the American people, The country itself.
Let me assure you that African-Americans, both slave & free men & women, have fought and died for this great country in every war that the USA has ever been involved in from the beginning of our nation birth and, even before that.
And...yet these Football Kneelers gladly accept and live with the Chicago’s, the Baltimore’s, the New York City’s, the Washington, DCs, etc., the Ghetto’s the Black on Black shootings, the Obama economic slave plantations, poverty, lack of jobs, opportunities, equality, etc. while they pile million of dollars in their greedy, ego driven, pockets. And they they pretend to complain how bad they have been treated. Sorry deadbeats, we, the American people are not accepting your fake game and disgusting actions...not at all!!!
