"We'll stand for the anthem when the anthem stands for us"
~Jim Carrey~
Trump and his ilk are damaging our country. The idea of forcing someone to stand not only violates the 1st amendment, it is truly unAmerican. I served in the military, and I get really pissed off by people claiming to be proamerican by insisting one stands or suggests (As Trump has) that we weaken the 1st amendment. Those ahole, hypocrites haven't a clue. Especially those wearing flag shirts and clothing which is a complete violation of the official American flag code book that explains how the flag should be treated. It also says the flag should not be used for advertising purposes or such.
We are undoubtedly in a strange era when comedic actors become statesmen and talk the truth and the people who are running the country and are supposed to be statesmen tell lies and act like jesters and charlatans.
