“Not even Rahm is that stupid.” You better reevaluate that! Kneeling during the National Anthem is a sign of respect and burning an American flag is a sign of patriotism. Has a hookah smoking caterpillar given you the call?

I’ll take their kneeling the way they intend their expression to be taken, which is the polar opposite of a sign of respect.

Kneeling during the National Anthem is a sign of respect and burning an American flag is a sign of patriotism.

Yep, that's what the Left is saying.

See here from Thucydides' Peloponnesian War on the class warfare that raged across Greece during the war, especially at Corcyra:

Words had to change their ordinary meaning and to take that which was now given them. Reckless audacity came to be considered the courage of a loyal ally; prudent hesitation, specious cowardice; moderation was held to be a cloak for unmanliness; ability to see all sides of a question, inaptness to act on any. Frantic violence became the attribute of manliness; cautious plotting, a justifiable means of self-defence. The advocate of extreme measures was always trustworthy; his opponent a man to be suspected.
