Now that the political left has decided to strain our few remaining bonds of national unity by encouraging disrespect for the American flag and the National Anthem, will there ever be a day in the future when Americans can pause from political division and join together as one nation to remember all we've accomplished? Can the athletes who have decided to kneel in protest of America imagine that future? Won't there always be some injustice, somewhere, that forces athletes to their knees? Won't there always be some kneeler who feels compelled to judge the actions of another American, even if those actions occurred decades or centuries ago? Do athletes who take a knee plan to stay on the ground for decades to come? Will they teach the lesson to their children and their children's children that disrespecting the flag is the noble thing to do? Just how many generations of kneeling will it take before America is properly punished?
If Joe Biden is elected president, will athletes learn to love the flag? If he loses, will athletes hate the flag forever? If the American flag and National Anthem are seen merely as the symbols of one political party, rather than the symbols of the entire American nation, then aren't we just a collection of people gathered in the middle of North America without any country at all? Isn't that what the political left has had in mind all along, the end of America and all she represents? Then isn't disrespecting the American flag and the National Anthem just another way of declaring yourself an enemy of America? Isn't kneeling just an expression of the desire to break the nation in two?
