Stirring ‘Ragged Old Flag’ Super Bowl Commercial Labeled a ‘Slap in the Face’ to Kaepernick

For the ultra-woke, a salute to the flag is now a personal assault.

In what might be the most repulsively reflexive moments of anti-American feeling among a disturbingly vocal segment of the population, a stirring, three-minute salute to Old Glory that aired before Sunday’s Super Bowl was getting treated by some social media commentators as a deliberate slam to the NFL’s anthem kneelers.

For the leftists, of course, it was taken as pure propaganda.

But for the sane majority of the country, the Fox video of “Ragged Old Flag,” featuring Medal of Honor recipient Marine Cpl. Kyle Carpenter, was like a shot in the arm.

In case anyone missed it on Sunday, or just wants to see it again, here’s the Fox video:

It’s one of the most popular pieces by country icon Johnny Cash, whose spoken-word ode to the Stars and Stripes was released in April 1974, a year when a bona fide impeachment investigation (as opposed to today’s partisan impeachment sham) was roiling the country’s politics and American military involvement in Vietnam was heading toward its dispiriting end.

Despite the years that have passed since then, the imagery in the video that aired Sunday — from military monuments to archival footage of protesters burning the flag — couldn’t help but resonate with current controversies.

And that, of course, meant some liberals took it completely the wrong way — like it was a Super Bowl-sized dog whistle for racism in the United States.
