Take A Knee
By Stanislaus (Stan) Drew, September 2017
"Stanislaus 'Stan' Drew originally wrote this post last year – when he was a member of Palm Springs Baptist Church in Palm Springs, FL – after San Francisco 49er Colin Kaepernick first began his protests during the National Anthem. Stan currently lives in Crescent City, FL." - TheChristianIndex
"Take a little trip to Valley Forge in January. If you don’t know where that is, just Google it from the sidelines. 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 one at the beach in Normandy where man after American manstormed 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 San 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’s a lot of places to take a knee. 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 [on a football field] 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 an inkling 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."

Notice that the huge audience listening to the playing of the National Anthem doesn't need to be told to put their hands over their hearts, as they always do at a football game. It reminds me of the stunt Marxist candidate Barack Obama displayed at a 2007 Democrat fundraiser in Iowa, standing there swaying with his hands of over his crotch, as the anthem was sung live. - Webmaster

Facebook Banned This Pro-American Music Video By Lloyd Marcus On The Fourth Of July, 2018, Because They Said It Was Political!
"On the Eve of July 4th, 2018 the arrogant, insanely anti-American FACEBOOK has banned the pro-America music video of beloved American patriot Lloyd Marcus. 'Facebook rejected my Pro-America Christian July 4th music video for 'political content', Marcus told Canada Free Press (CFP) this afternoon.'
The lyrics and music of the video, which features pictures of many American heroes, past and present, including Presidents Ronald Reagan, Abraham Lincoln, George Washington, Donald Trump; public figures Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., abolitionist and statesman Frederick Douglass, Supreme Court Judge Clarence Thomas, Herman Cain, who was a 2012 presidential candidate, among many others, is the kind of inspiration that renews pride in America and tugs at patriot heartstrings.
Given that Facebook is an American multinational that banks billions from the privilege of operating on American soil, makes the banning of this inspirational video, a national disgrace on the eve of Independence Day, 2018." - CanadaFreePress
