First Amendment.. again..

The First Amendment guarantees freedoms concerning religion, expression, assembly, and the right to petition.  It forbids Congress from both promoting one religion over others and also restricting an individual’s religious practices.  It guarantees freedom of expression by prohibiting Congress from restricting the press or the rights of individuals to speak freely.  It also guarantees the right of citizens to assemble peaceably and to petition their government.   

Amendment I

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances.

 With all this being said I understand and defend anyones right to a peaceful demonstration such as what is going on throughout the professional football ranks.. Peaceful demonstrations and the like.. Do I like what they are doing??  I'd rather they all stand for the national anthem but I'm not torn apart by it s so many people are calling these people traitors or antiAmerican.. If they are anything they are true Americans standing up for their rights and the rights of black Americans who are being shot and killed every day for doing what Americans should be free to do every day in this county and that is live a life.. 

This meme on FB is making the rounds and these four are NOT insulting the people who gave them this right, if anything they are making them proud to have fought to give and protect the right to a peaceful demonstration.. Simply put if these players would be supported and asked well what can we do to help, maybe they would stop kneeling or sitting during the national anthem...

Should a serviceman get housing before a refugee??  I think so, but why isn't he?? Is it because he has issues and can't figure out how to get housing??  When the veterans of wars are released from duty they are likely just cut loose.. My feeling is it took special training to get them ready to go and shoot his fellow man, there should be a way for them to be brought back to life in society.. Not just say well there you go, don't call us if you have troubles, YOU'RE ON YOUR OWN NOW..  That is pure horse shit.. Help them out.. The government in all their wisdom have eliminated more VA hospitals in a time when we were in two wars.. How much sense dose that make.. And yet the politicians (um.. mostly Trump)  want to take us into more wars and make the military even bigger than the largest there has ever been...  So if you are going to do that make the support for them universal.. Not just to go to war, but to return to live a regular life.. And not just a six week or six months.. Sixty years..  in other words they have given their lives, you give them their lives back...
