    Default Take a Knee

    Take A Knee



    Written by Ted Nugent

    Take a little trip to Valley Forge in January. Hold a musket ball in your fingers and imagine it piercing your flesh and breaking a bone or two. There won't be a doctor or trainer to assist you until after the battle, so just wait your turn. Take your cleats and socks off to get a real experience.

    Then take a knee.

    Then, take a knee on the beach in Normandy where man after American man stormed the beach, even as the one in front of him was shot to pieces .... the very sea stained with American blood. The only blockers most had were the dead bodies in front of them, riddled with bullets from enemy fire.

    Take a knee in the sweat soaked jungles of Vietnam . From Khe Sanh to Saigon ... anywhere will do. Americans died in all those jungles. There was no playbook that told them what was next, but they knew what flag they represented. When they came home, they were protested as well, and spit on for reasons only cowards know.

    Take another knee in the blood drenched sands of Fallujah in 110 degree heat .. Wear your Kevlar helmet and battle dress. Your number won't be printed on it unless your number is up! You'll need to stay hydrated but there won't be anyone to squirt Gatorade into your mouth. You're on your own.

    There are a lot of places to take a knee where Americans have given their lives all over the world. When you use the banner under which they fought as a source for your displeasure, you dishonor the memories of those who bled for the very freedoms you have That's what the red stripes mean. It represents the blood of those who spilled a sea of it defending your liberty.

    While you're on your knee, pray for those that came before you, not on a manicured lawn striped and printed with numbers to announce every inch of ground taken .. but on nameless hills and bloodied beaches and sweltering forests and bitter cold mountains .. every inch marked by an American life lost serving that flag you protest.

    No cheerleaders, no announcers, no coaches, no fans ... just American men and women ... delivering the real fight against those who chose to harm us ... blazing a path so you would have the right to "take a knee." You haven't any inkling of what it took to get you where you are ... but your "protest" is duly noted. Not only is it disgraceful to a nation of real heroes, it serves the purpose of pointing to your ingratitude for those who chose to defend you under that banner that will still wave long after your jersey is retired.

    If you really feel the need to take a knee, come with me to church on Sunday and we'll both kneel before Almighty God. We'll thank Him for preserving this country for as long as He has. We'll beg forgiveness for our ingratitude for all He has provided us. We'll appeal to Him for understanding and wisdom. We'll pray for liberty and justice for all...because He is the one who provides those things. But there will be no protest. There will only be gratitude for His provision and a plea for His continued grace and mercy on the land of the free and the home of the brave. It goes like this .. GOD BLESS AMERICA !!!

    If you lend someone $20 and never see that person again, it was probably worth it.

    There should be no national flag on display, or national anthem played at any NFL game going forward.

    But that won't happen, unfortunately...
    Isn't it weird that in AMERICA, our flag and our culture offend so many people...but our benefits don't???

    Many protest, but few leave.

    I will gladly take a knee if, and only if, it honors those that have served before, along with, and after me. Otherwise, I will stand tall and salute.

    Kappernick, should have his knees removed, if he wants to knell at a game, and then have someone, hit him in the head with a 2x4.....If that's his mentality, and then fired, he's a total AS# hole, that shouldn't, be allow to even live in the United States.....................What a jerk!

    It wasn't about the damn flag for the football players for Christ sake it was about police brutality.

    Evidently those who support America didn't see it that way, subsequently he was not hired.

    I'd bet my next paycheck Kapernik would not try this tactic again, IF given another chance.

    I find it hard to fathom that he chose to take a knee without disrespecting the flag, during the playing of our National Anthem.

    He knew exactly what he was doing, just not expecting the well deserved backlash he got for his efforts...

    Exactly. I haven't watched a stupid NFL game in years. Why does a 1 hour game take 3 hours? Theatrics!!! I've got better things to do than crap like that where people are over paid to run around then fall down. I'll watch hockey before I'll watch that NFL junk and I have no idea what that game is all about, YET.

    Planned parenthood abortions are still a mixed bag. Maybe he'll demonstrate for that next. Nah, I agree it was all about race. Obama threw us back into the 60's and this nimrod played into it. As did the media.

    I became a hockey fan when my grand daughter started playing. She was about 5-6? Give a bunch of little girls some sticks and put them on ice - best entertainment out there!
