Yeah but the argument isn't "you aren't allowed to kneel during the anthem," it's "you shouldn't kneel during the anthem because it's offensive to the troops," which is odd because it's news to me that the national anthem is nothing more than a fight song for the military.

it literally doesn't matter, people are free to not like it for whatever reason

this is why taking a partisan stance on issues like this is retarded as gently caress, the same rights that allows a protest to take place also allows whatever criticism of said protest, no matter how stupid either side is

It's not a partisan stance to believe murder is bad.

Also, yeah, our anthem is absolutely dire. Call me when someone kneels during Fratelli d'Italia.

What are the best anthems other than Italy and France? Those are my faves. I also enjoy any anthem played on steel drum, as often happens in Trinidad and Tobago.

dude I agree with you and I support them protesting it

my point is that people are also free to be stupid and disagree, and if you think one part is true and the other part isn't you're as dumb as the mooks who think it's disrespecting the flag

You're giving Trump too much credit. He's always failing at something and always saying something insane. The latter is not necessarily an attempt to distract from the former.

Of the three "major" patriotic songs, America the Beautiful is the best by far. Star Spangled Banner is the worst, and God Bless America is almost just as bad.

The worst patriotic song is My Country Tis of Thee, which is just a worse version of God Save the Queen, a song that was bad enough already.
