This is moronic for a couple of reasons.
The original idiotic protest was for the Anthem, now it has extended into the Pledge. I guess this means they do not have an allegiance with our flag.
Will future morons be taking a knee for every civic endeavor? How about when taking an oath to be a juror? Or when they are sworn into their political positions?
What makes this truly moronic is that what they are protesting will never be remedied, because their grievances are not rooted in any state sanctioned racism, because there isn’t any.
So, these idiots will be taking a knee forever.
Sort of like having a “Keep On Truckin'” tattoo.

They don’t look very “diverse”.
Given that 30% of the population is “African American”,the “right” thing for them to do to show solidarity or equality or whatever would be for at least three of them to resign, but sure kneel instead you hypocrites.
THIS is what the “2 x 4” was invented for.
That, and building construction.
But: priorities!
You can always re-use after the former for the latter.
Michigan City! Hee,hee. They are afraid of their constituents. MC was the pitsthe last time I wandered tothe outlet mall, and that was before the era of obummer.

Quite frankly I don’t think any one kneeling in protest in any setting today has a clue what they’re against or why.
My parents always instructed us to Be a leader not a follower.
Ask ’em to take a knee for prayer. BWAAA HAHAHahahahaaaaaa!
I will only kneel to my God.
That said, let it be known that Michigan City is in Indiana, not Michigan.
@christy 944 African Americans are about 13% of the population, not 30%.
All I see with these ‘protests’ are slaves kneeling before their masters. Or if you are of a religious bent, asking for forgiveness for being stupid assholes.
‘Taking a Knee’? What a fucking STUPID concept of protest! SERIOUSLY? These nitwits are beyond dull witted.
You see this and wonder why half the country is covered with tattoo’s now days?
Graceia, the city council that did this is in Ann Arbor, Michigan.
Actually, in a way, these acts of disrespect are helpful in that they differentiate the “WE” from “them” when the final line is drawn.
Ann Arbor, 45 minutes west of Detroit.
Has anybody mentioned to this brain trust that they are the government–the kneeling is aimed at you!
Pandering Profligates
With all this Harvey Weinstein business, how do we know they’re not applying for an acting role?

That line was drawn in ink, decades ago — when the government wrote that it’s people needed union contracts to protect them from the whims of the people.
What are these morons protesting? Police brutality towards minorities? These are city council members – they control the municipal police department. These are the folks in charge of fixing whatever seems to be wrong.
Taking a knee in a meeting room is uber stupid anyhow. This isn’t an athletic contest – this is some sort of civic function. There are chairs; if you don’t want to recite the pledge of allegiance, just sit down and be quiet. Football players take a knee because there isn’t anywhere to sit. Yes, there are benches on NFL sidelines, and if you look there are player/protesters sitting on them during the national anthem.
Waiting for the photo-op of everyone kneeling when PDJT walks in the room.
Winning!
You know who got it right? South Park – in their first episode back in September.
Of last year.
The Left continues with these displays for one reason only: They are getting a reaction. Ignore them. Or ask them to explain their basis. But don’t fret about the fact that a bunch of our citizens (and friends) are ideological idiots.
*knock* on the door yesterday,
“Hi sir, I’m with the democrat party here to..”
I cut him off, “I don’t like democrats.”
He turned around and left without saying another word.
It felt good to tell him off. But I got to thinking it would have been hilarious to protest his words by taking a knee. Bonus points to lift shirt above weapon while bending down.
Just got a report that two veteran pilots of the New Orleans Saints Boeing 737 left the cockpit, took a knee and deplaned. Leaving the millionaire thugs stranded for the night. Urrraaagghhh. Phuck y’all.
Yawn, come on this is old already. Come up with something original.
Didn’t see the state. I was speaking of Michigan City, IN in my comment above.
Moe Tom — Truly? I wanna see! I wanna see!
Okay you fellow Michiganders, I’ve got two takers on meeting up, any other’s interested please
contact BigFurHat for the smell test. Looking forward to meeting my fellow mittens!
White guilt Uncle-Tomming.
It’s time to start beating the shit out of these unpatriotic assholes until they show the proper respect or they leave MY country.
Sorry Abigail Adams, This is FAKE NEWS. I fell for it again. I’m a phucking mutt. But it sounded like something I’d like to see happen. Mea Culpa.
Braden, I’m ready. So fucking ready.
If ANY public employee refuses to show appreciation for American values…..turn them loose and let the fend for themselves.
Jackasses.
