I suspect "Noisy Walking" wasn't the greatest hunter.

In Sheridan WY
The rodeo is in town
Saw my 1st rodeo a week ago in Cody
Big night here Fri
Its Patriot Night.
I hear the tradition is to wear red
WTF
Blue doesn't cut it?
Gotta wear commie red to prove my patriotism

In Cody before the anthem
They played a poem about why stand for the flag.
I almost puked listening to it

Was the gag reflex due to poor poem construction or politics?

Both
I want to be entertained, not lectured.
It was really over the top.
Not standing for the flag is really much ado about nothing to me.
Some people get angry and livid about it
Not me
Somebody doesn't stand, I could care less.

Understood, but you're in conservative country now, and tempers are a bit frayed.

Best not poke the anthill with a sharp stick, or else the joy you've experienced in your journey so far might be seriously marred.

No knee from me
I even refrained from yelling "O". It's a Baltimore thing

TP you are fine with someone taking a knee during the anthem as a political statement. If someone reads a poem supporting standing for the flag, also a political statement, you want to puke? It is the same thing just opposite sides of the same coin. Just face it you are a bigot when it comes to conservatives.

Yeah, but one is silent, and you're only told their message if you ask or research, and the other is preaching at you. In both cases, it's expression, but I bet they don't want to hear the people make a speech about the reason for the knee at the event considering how upset people got about a taking a knee.

Interesting that now you are supporting the idea that you should just 'shut the f... up' if you don't like something. Strange position for a lefty.

I'm pointing out why one is more intrusive than the other.
