August 31, 201610 yr In all seriousness, you should follow him. It's funny stuff. Even with all his T-shirt sales ads. My point being is you're not really being mocked if you reclaim it for yourself. Take the term "hillbilly," for instance. Who really cares if you get called that? I sure as hell don't, and am probably more likely to go even more redneck on them. It's not an insult if you steal it back. That's why Pikeville celebrates "Hillbilly Days." I wasn't offended. I was just calling a spade a spade in the first post. It's takes a lot to offend me.
August 31, 201610 yr Always love this common theme of mocking those who are proud to be American. Call me what you will but I will always be there to debate anyone who has a problem or mocks this country. I'd call you an American.
August 31, 201610 yr The #VeteransforKaepernick hashtag is taking on a life of its own on Twitter as past, present and future veterans are standing with Kaepernick. Very interesting turn.
August 31, 201610 yr Colin Kaepernick reminds us of our ridiculous desire to punish dissent | NFL | Sporting News
August 31, 201610 yr Does anyone else find it comical that while allegedly taking a stand against oppression, Kap rocked a Fidel Castro shirt? Brings into question how honest he's being, doesn't it?
August 31, 201610 yr I guess my point being is that dissing a clown like Toby Keith wasn't the career suicide everybody wanted it to be. Just because they disappeared from the morass that is pop country radio doesn't mean they died. They sure made Toby a boatload of money.
August 31, 201610 yr The chicks are so irrelevant I didn't even know they had a feud with TK . Again I have always liked their music from way back . Maybe they should stick to music unless they desire running off those strongly disagree with their views . Which is exactly what happened .

August 31, 201610 yr Soldiers fight for your right to be free there is no doubt about it , they also fought for me to be able to critcize people who disrespect the country I'm proud of. He doesn't like this country fine, I have every right to call him on the simple minded approach. The most amusing part of this whole topic is those who think Kaepernick's stance is above reproach. Don't you know that if you disagree with a black persons "protest" you are racist and part of white America oppressing the non white population in America.:isurrender:
August 31, 201610 yr The #VeteransforKaepernick hashtag is taking on a life of its own on Twitter as past, present and future veterans are standing with Kaepernick. Very interesting turn. It's been pretty funny to see IMO. If veterans don't think he was disrespecting them, maybe the average joe shouldn't either? :idunno: A lot of them echoed the same point as one another. We served for freedom, not a song.
August 31, 201610 yr Don't you know that if you disagree with a black persons "protest" you are racist and part of white America oppressing the non white population in America.:isurrender: That's not even remotely true though. The real question is are people capable of having open minded discussions about race. Some are and some aren't. Refusing to take in a totally opposite perspective from your own isn't racist. It's close minded.

I'm interested to see what people say about these veterans.
August 31, 201610 yr I'm interested to see what people say about these veterans. I'm not unfortunately. It'll just make me lose more faith in humanity.
August 31, 201610 yr I'm not unfortunately. It'll just make me lose more faith in humanity. That's a good point. :lol2:

A lot of blanket statements made in these protests. However, I don't disagree with the protests just the fashion they are put on.
