The topic of discussion for this
Constitution Monday is freedom of speech, the right to speak without being
censored. This freedom is protected by the First Amendment to the United States
Constitution, but it often is censored by liberals who do not want to hear what
is being said. Conservatives are censored or refused an audience on college
campuses, by the media, and even by the National Football League (NFL).
Colin Kaepernick was celebrated by
using his freedom of speech to take a knee at football games during the National
Anthem. Those who do not agree with him are often labeled as a “racist.”
Kaepernick has the right to express his opinion, but it seems that no one has
the right to oppose it.
Paul Bedard posted a notice that CBS
has rejected an ad for the Super Bowl from a company run by a veteran. The ad
is definitely “pro-flag, anti-Kaepernick,” but it also thrills anyone who
stands for the flag. Tyler Merritt, the CEO of Nine Line Apparel “ripped the
rejection of his ad.”
CBS’s purported reason for rejecting a
Super Bowl commercial that extols patriotism is totally out of bounds. Let’s
call this what it is: a blatant attempt to censor a message that their
politically correct executives find offensive. We urge Americans who believe it’s
important to show respect for our flag and national anthem to join us in
calling out this offensive bias. It’s time to give a penalty flag to CBS.
The ad from Nine Line Apparel starts
with this statement, “Don’t ask if your loyalty is crazy. Ask if it’s crazy
enough.” It is narrated by Benghazi survivor U.S. Marine Mark Geist who makes
some powerful statements such as the following.
Some people think you’re crazy for being
loyal, defending the Constitution, standing for the flag. Then I guess I’m
crazy.
For those who kneel, they fail to
understand that they can kneel, that they can protest, that they can despise
what I stand for, even hate the truth that I speak, but they can only do that
because I am crazy enough.
The ad is full of pictures of
heroes, such as military, police, and fire fighters, who run toward danger in
order to save lives. It is patriotic and skillfully made. CBS was wrong to
reject it! You can see the ad here. I
hope that you enjoy it!
