Last month, Supreme Idiot Joy Reid decided to take on the national anthem drama by tweeting this gem:
Odd that kneeling in church is considered the highest reverence. Yet kneeling in protest is taken as hostility. https://t.co/9QqtLiPMxJ

If it sounds like she doesn’t know the difference between kneeling in protest and kneeling in prayer, it’s because she doesn’t know the difference between kneeling in protest and kneeling in prayer. She thought she was being really smart and snarky with that one. Bless her heart.
You cannot compare kneeling in prayer– something you do IN REVERENCE TO GOD– to taking a knee DURING THE NATIONAL ANTHEM to PROTEST “inequality.” It is not the same by ANY measure.
Comparing kneeling in prayer to protesting is ridiculous. Entirely separate things done for entirely different purposes & aren’t associative

Exactly. Too bad Piers Morgan didn’t get the memo.
Millions of Americans kneel in church every week – are they disrespecting God? https://t.co/5TZ24HGlQF

Kneeling in church is the same as kneeling in protest during the national anthem, k?
I’m curious if this is the dumbest thing ever said in all of human history. Certainly a contender. https://t.co/1GFwEuQBWp

Good lord you are dumb.

Inane analogy. More like someone choosing to stand in church while all others knelt.

Omg, the stupidity of this tweet….

Just FYI, kneeling before God is submitting to the love, glory & power he has over our lives, #TakeAKnee during the Anthem is a protest.

Seriously? You do not know the difference between kneeling before God and standing to show respect for one’s country? Bless your heart. pic.twitter.com/7TUbJ0Q8l1

Scripture suggests you should. In Ephesians 3:14 Paul says, “I kneel before the Father,” and in Acts 9:40 Peter “knelt down and prayed.”

It’s all about the purpose of the act. Not the act itself. They kneel to signify that they show no respect.

Real talk: Kneeling during prayer is actually a gesture of humility. That’s one of the MANY reasons you can’t draw a comparison to NFL kneelers. They’re not kneeling because they’re grateful or humble. They’re not doing it out of respect. I cannot believe we even need to explain this.
Ridiculous argument to compare kneeling before God to those kneeling out of utter disrespect.

Total idiot sandwich.
Btw– remember when my man Tim Tebow knelt in prayer and MSM mocked him? Good times.
