Colin Kaepernick’s decision to not stand for the national anthem has inspired two Oakland City Council members to remain seated for the pledge of allegiance.
Desley Brooks and Rebecca Kaplan are the latest Oaklanders to follow Kaepernick in protesting oppression of minorities.

“Americans in name only”
I think you just coined a new and very useful acronym.
AINO: American In Name Only.
Well done!

I wonder . . . now that it's so cool to protest the national anthem and pledge of allegiance, does that make it okay to be "anti-government" and anti-Obama Administration?
Didn't think so.

It’s a joke, “Amish” as a polite euphemism for societal vandals.

That’s a pc way of putting it. I know what ‘Amish’ means around here.
