My friends, it is frightening how simple we are and how easily we are manipulated simply because we are intellectually lazy.
The U.S. establishment has confused cause and effect by and through a flag-waving mania in America. “Patriotism” throughout history has covered a multitude of mischief. We are seeing it now!
Phony patriotism is strong leverage against a population ignorant of the ways of treason by its own government. I also have no doubt that U.S. history is full of wars “for democracy” killing millions under the propaganda of patriotism with the majority support of the people and the full support of all but a small cadre of “elected representatives” — who are paid by the federal government, incidentally. In addition the millions of foreign dead, these wars have left hundreds of thousands of American military members dead or maimed physically and/or emotionally.

The whole world knows about the U.S. military industrial complex war machine and its pursuit of profits. But Americans tend to turn a blind eye.
When George Washington said “government is force,” he meant that government is force against its own people.
Since by definition government is force, then it follows that government will use any ruse imaginable to increase its power. Increased use of government force or power could backfire unless skillfully handled and justified in the public mind. Therefore governments rarely take action unless accompanied by skillful propaganda.
The brouhaha over certain NFL players’ refusal to stand for the playing of the Star Spangled Banner has erupted anew. The reaction of most Americans — who claim to believe in the Constitution and Bill of Rights — is that this expression cannot be tolerated… it is un-American… it is “unpatriotic.”
But is it? Or is it not the most American of all things to resist and rebel against what we perceive as tyranny and its symbols?
If we deny one — whether through intimidation and threats, monetary sanctions or government force — his rights, are we not creating a situation where rights are just privileges that can be denied on a whim? If we support police power to invade our homes and wallets and steal our property just because government has made it “legal,” are we not again conceding that rights are merely privileges?
You cannot say, “I believe in the 1st Amendment, but…; I believe in the 2nd Amendment, but…; I believe in the 4th Amendment, but…” There is no but.
And if that government making “legal” the assaults on our liberty is represented by a symbol, shouldn’t we conclude that that symbol is a symbol of tyranny? I wrote about the phony patriotism of flag worship when the Colin Kaepernick stir occurred last year.
In light of the new kerfuffle over NFL players refusing to stand, and comments to some of our columns on preserving liberty of late, I felt it was time to run it again. Here it is:
The American golden calf
As a young boy, I enjoyed my family’s bantam chickens that laid very small eggs and hatched very small chicks. Theirs was a small and miniature world.
One day one of my bantams started sitting on eggs to hatch its chicks. Something happened to her eggs but she continued to sit, so I decided to put a duck egg under her. Duck eggs are at least three times bigger than bantam eggs and take a few days longer to hatch, but she dutifully sat on the egg several days longer. She hatched the duckling and, as you can imagine, it thought that his world was normal and that the bantam hen was his mother.
The duckling eventually grew into a full sized mallard duck, probably five or six times the size of its bantam mother. The full-grown duck would follow its hen mother around as would normal chicks. It was a funny sight to watch.
But I remember thinking, even as a small boy, that the duck’s entire reality was that the bantam hen was his mother and that was the way the world worked. He had no need to consider anything else.
This is the world of the American people today. Their perceptions of reality control them and they who control their perceptions control the American people.
Our perception of America has always been that she is the mother country and ordained by God, good and just and a beacon of freedom. This is hammered into our psyches from our early days.
From pre-school up, we are taught to worship the state. I don’t know if it is still done, but in the public (non)education system, for many years, schoolchildren across the South — and elsewhere, I suppose — recited the Pledge of Allegiance each morning. Political rallies and government meetings are still often begun with a recitation of the pledge.
People say it with patriotic fervor, with their hands placed dutifully on their hearts.
Sporting events, political rallies and other public venues are often kicked off with the playing and/or singing of the Star Spangled Banner. Before the song begins, people are instructed to rise, men to remove their hats,and people place their hands over their hearts. They don’t realize its value as a propaganda tool.
We have come to equate the flag, the pledge and the national anthem with patriotism, and patriotism with government, country and support for government, support for foreign wars and veterans. Anything less is “un-American.”
Beyond its patriot fervor is the almost religious fervor and religious symbolism of the American people’s actions when the pledge and the national anthem begin: the ritual standing, removal of hats, placing of hands and rote recitation. In the book of Daniel, Israelites Hananiah, Mishael and Azariah (Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego) refused to worship the golden image of Nebuchadnezzar contrary to the king’s decree. The king ordered them to be thrown into the furnace after it was turned up to seven times its normal temperature.
NFL player Colin Kaepernick created a stir last week when he refused to stand for the national anthem. He was not subsequently ordered into the furnace by the king, but he was burned symbolically by many football fans who torched their jerseys. Americans fumed that he should “leave” America if he can’t support the flag and that he had disrespected the flag, the nation and veterans.
What are we saying when we say that someone “disrespected the flag,” “disrespected the country,” “disrespected the veterans” if he chooses to not stand for the national anthem? What is the flag but a piece of cloth? By the reaction to Kaepernick, it seems it has become more of a golden calf to represent mother country or the god of government.
Our mother has become a witch. Yes, same symbols, same flag, same pledge of allegiance, but a decadent spirit controlling the perceptions of the American people, keeping them on the animal farm (controlling their perceptions) long enough to impoverish and enslave them.
Time and gradualism can change a system all the way from human liberty to slavery (the animal farm) over a few generations without anyone being aware except a very few, those who ask questions.
“America, love it or leave it,” is a tired canard. One cannot leave it except at great cost. Recall that in 1860-1861 11 states attempted to “leave it” in order to preserve their liberty and rights as sovereign states. They were branded as “insurrectionists” and attacked by the War Party and the result was their economic and social destruction, subjugation and the deaths of some 850,000 people (the equivalent of about 8.5 million people today). When one talks of secession today he’s branded as a racist, crazy or a radical and told secession is “illegal.”
One can love his country but hate his government and its actions. I love America but not the people who control America and its government. I love America, but its rulers are alien to individual freedom, its government now anathema to liberty.
If the flag is symbolic of government and that government lies at every turn, enslaves its people, steals from their labor, passes laws that are an execration to their Christian faith, takes from them their liberty, mandates the murder of 1 million babies a year, imports tens of thousands of immigrants to replace American workers and drive down wages, and that makes war on other countries that have not threatened us, why should any acknowledge its presence with more than a sneer?
Wars are not for patriotism and “democracy,” as we are propagandized. And our freedom has not been threatened by outside forces in 200 years. Wars are to kill; i.e., mass ritual murder. Additionally, big business and globalist banksters in league with Satan reap massive profits for the killing and sacrifice of young men (lambs) on all sides of combat.
If the flag is symbolic of the Constitution, that Constitution died long ago — destroyed by a crony railroad lawyer and mercantilist who made war on a sovereign people to benefit monied interests.
If the flag is symbolic of freedom, that freedom no longer exists — stolen long ago by crony corporations and globalist banksters and unaccountable oligarchical black-robed satanists and idol worshippers who usurped their authority created laws out of thin air under the guise of “interpreting the Constitution” a dictate not granted them under the original document.
The phony form of patriotism instilled within the population is strong leverage against independent thinking, keeping people ignorant of the treason by our own government.
America today is a more advanced state of fascism than World War II Germany and Italy. Fascism never identifies itself as totalitarianism. It always calls itself democracy.
Democracy is the politically correct word and cover term for modern American fascism.
American fascism has all the attributes and trappings of benevolent totalitarianism. No, benevolent totalitarianism is not an oxymoron.
The word benevolent in this instance means that the general perception of the population of the American system is that it is benevolent. This is only to say that modern America is full-blown fascism with a pretty face. It is every bit as deadly to human liberty as any tyranny in history and I would add far more sinister because of its propaganda sophistication.
Any regime that can spin tons of fiat paper money with printing presses or electronically is a slave system regardless of what it calls itself or regardless of the general population’s perception of it.
Our mother has been transformed into a witch no matter how much we love her.
“We have come to equate the flag, the pledge and the national anthem with patriotism, and patriotism with government, country and support for government, support for foreign wars and veterans. Anything less is “un-American.””
I’m afraid that I most humbly must disagree. For as long as I can remember, I have equated the Flag, the Pledge, and Anthem with The Constitution, NOT “Patriotism”, (whatever Blind Lemming-Like behavior that is), CERTAINLY not “The Government” or their Foreign Entanglements, although I still feel the need and desire to support our Vets.
Furtheremore, whilst the Douche-Nozzle Extrordinaire Kapernick, (May he gargle on my Nutsack in Hell), or ANY of these Lame-Assed overpaid Sub-85 IQ’d Dipshits desire to “Protest” perceived “Injustices”, it IS their Right as Private Citizens. The same as ANY of us. However, there are MANY Rights that are not afforded us at our Places of Business. My Employer has the right to abridge my 1st Ammendment Right to Free Speech, should it “Offend” any member of a “Protected Class” who hears it, and if I so choose to ignore their policies, then they are well within their rights to terminate my employment.
The same thing applies here. Should the Customers of the NFL demand that Ownership nip this in the bud, or they will take their discretionary spending ELSEWHERE, then it simply becomes a Business Decision. The owners will have to decide whether they want to alienate their Entertainment-Starved Consumers of Bullshit or not. Those who still enjoy making money will tell their EMPLOYEES to Shut Up, or Fuck Off.
As far as his assertion that “America today is a more advanced state of fascism than World War II Germany and Italy. Fascism never identifies itself as totalitarianism. It always calls itself democracy.”, perchance he should actually discuss this fallacy with some of those who actually lived under and survived REAL Fascism. Every one that I’ve personally met would completely eviscerate his premise.
Although there is LOTS to be lamented regarding the Decline of the Republic, it IS, nevertheless, the only one we have. It would behoove us all to do our utmost to ensure that our Progeny are taught the Fundamentals rather the Party Line…..
Zero is 100% right in his analysis of what the flag symbolizes and in his important distinction between the appropriateness and right to protest on YOUR OWN TIME vs. neglecting your duties and protesting while performing a job, especially when that job involves serving clients or customers who are PAYING for your services.
It is an ignorant misunderstanding that the flag in any way represents a particular government, policy, ruling party or President, or that somehow the flag and national anthem deserve our disrespect if a particular government, policy, ruling party or President falls short, in one’s opinion, of the ideals the flag represents.
Yes, Sir! I agree. Author misses the fundamental point that employers get to call the shots. Employees can exercise their free speech on theri own time. Prosports morons have it a bit different, tho, since anything they do in public is considered to represent the team and the league. If they want to practice free speech, be prepared for the employer to exercise his own freedom to choose who represents him.
My employer feels he can dictate my dress, language, meal times, vacation time, internet and phone use, facial hair, behavior around the customer, times of attendance, mandatory training, work equipment I use, and many other behaviors and habits. I can choose to stay employed or exercise my free speech, but not necessarily both.
The problem with Kap is his Afro and his choice of venue for his protest.
100% glad he is not employed by the NFL.
That afro is hilarious. It is the “one drop” rule in full effect. It always amazes me how anyone with a bit of african blood identifies with that over all else. For some reason one bit of that blood turns anyone into a savage.
I started by agreeing with the article and its view, after all the first amendment is the first amendment; but I began to consider the solidarity and unity of its citizens in difficult times that made America great. Yes, many conspiracies went into the entrance of America into WWII, but it was the unity and commitment of its regular folks that fought and died that revealed something of America’s greatness; this to me is deeper than the empty headed patriotism that the author alluded to.
So, if all Americans say as the writer suggests, to say “no big deal” if another disrespects the flag; isn’t it his right? Then what do we as Americans stand for? Eventually, if you lose the outrage of allowing others who show disrespect to your country and get away with it, will we not become what the politically correct of Europe what their individual countries citizens to become?
Turning a blind eye to the realities of the USA due to our “patriotism” is wrong, but disrespecting the unity of America that has made America great in trying times is much worse.
What unity is there TODAY?
We are a house divided, Stucky.
So what does the Bible say about a house divided?
It says that that muthafucker will FALL!!
“Fall mountains fall, just don’t fall on me.” – Jimi Hendrix
A good question.
Today the unity is decreasing as the hatred is reaching a boiling point. The source of the instigation emanates from the liberal/democratic platform of identity politics which revels in seeing the divided nation, as it thinks it will grow its base from all the victims.
So I guess I’m asking if there is a way of de escalating the hatred by trying to focus on the unity of our country? Maybe it’s a lost cause and civil war is inevitable; but we are just at a point of time where we can choose if it is a civil war worth fighting?
Edit: I realized a major portion of my reply was not so related to my point. Thank God for edits!
In a land of diverse people and opinions, in order for unity to be achieved, there MUST be some core principles acting as the “glue” which binds us together.
We know longer have even that. We are on opposite sides … and there are MORE than just two sides …. concerning just about everything of importance. The protagonists no longer talk with each other because they CAN’T. The chasm is just to wide. Imho, that evidence is overwhelming.
Put me in the “no hope” category. The Unity Train has left the station. I have no idea what comes next but, I’m pretty sure neither of us will like it.
Breaks my heart to agree with you, when you see hope being sucked out of the nation and replaced by despair; only most are so distracted they can’t see it coming. Prepare accordingly.
Principles begin with genes. Principles don’t end there, but genes are the foundation. Even basic things such as aggregate flavor preferences resulting in different food preferences resulting in different approaches to food preparation lead to cultural practices and standards that come to define “core principles” and result in what one would call a culture and a society.
The higher order principles are built on top of the foundational ones… and if you try to place the higher order ones on a different foundation the structure *will fail*.
“Principles begin with genes.”
Where on the DNA-chain does one find gene markers for “principles”?
If possible, please cite just one reference.
I patiently await your response as I tend to the crickets in the garden.
I explained very clearly how genes guide biological preferences which in aggregate result in cultural norms that are eventually translated into written principles. The further you get from the gene, the more flexible the principles.
Demographics are the foundation upon which ideas live or die. You can guide the demographics over many generations and select for behavior patterns you desire which will make certain higher order principles more sustainable, but you can’t just *apply* principles to a demographic and expect them to stick.
This is why different breeds of dogs have, in aggregate, reliably identifiable personalities and emotional patterns. Individuals deviate, but the demographic has a clear set of principles upon which you can then work with to teach higher order tricks and skills. Not all demographics of dogs can be successfully taught the same things.
I patiently await for you to demonstrate walking into Somalia and without changing the genetic foundation, teach your higher order principles and have Somalians sustain them, without intervening in their breeding patterns.
There are ample sources to cite if you can be bothered to search for yourself regarding genetics and personality/temperament/behavior.

Civil War will decrease the hatred when we win and purge the other side.
Seems to me that your 1A rights are restricted when you clock in for work at your employer, and for most that restriction is in effect around the clock. The fact that these players haven’t been fired already tells you that the (((owners))) are all too happy to see them protest.
They are paid millions to play a kids game. The customer would like to see the game and not their political views. Take it somewhere else or we are gone forever. As a matter of fact good bye professional sports….you are a failure as an entertainment venue and will never be a political venue.
If the league and the owners cannot put a better product on the field they will all suffer……just look at ESPN…….
I don’t dislike the sitting for the anthem because I feel it is unpatriotic.
I dislike it because it started with a phony cause ( black thug got shot trying to steal a cops gun throw the patrol car window). It supports a phony, orchestrated movement, BLM. It’s based on untruths and false facts, blacks are not targeted for police abuse at greater % in relation to commission of crimes. The leader-Kapaernick, was a privileged kid whose black father abandoned him, was adopted and raised by a loving white family, got a FREE college education and then millions to run around and play with balls-and he rants about how unfair our society is.
PS: The Bantam and Duck analogy was clever but not analogous to why higher thinking humans choose to support their country, ethnic tribe, religion or whatever–that was really a stretch
When vets get a job, and I mean any job the economy has to offer them, stop their whining and ptsd mommy’s boy bullshit then I will respect them too. Until then, put a bag over their head, working people should not have to look at them. Another point that pukes me is the fact that a female will pull off her panties and allow a ptsd veteran to pump sperm into her is sickening. The very idea that a child should be raised by a spineless, cowardly father is just too much to inhale with one breath. All of us have some sort of ptsd, most of us just live with it while maintaining our manhood. Yes we have amputee vets, blind vets, and those badly burned, and yes we should help them. But ptsd (pay the sorry d*****bags: Get a life, please. thanks PS: Before you start about your worthless military service, I spent six years in the diaper corps, called the United States Army.
What needs to happen is the people who rate the claims need to do a better job of weeding out the bullshit. I did two tours in Iraq and one in Afghanistan as infantry and then as a ranger. Multiple deployments, watching your close friends die horrible deaths etc. has an effect. Being a pog in the peacetime army or (diaper corps) or whatever you faggots call it is a very different thing. The problem now is all these pog nigger degenerates who sat in a fob eating burger king saying they have ptsd so they dont have to work. That is a very very real problem that dishonors and disrespects men who truly have gone the distance and have been effected in a major way by it. Also the new hustle with the pog niggers is saying they were raped or molested while in the service. I am talking thousands upon thousands of 6’4″ 225 lb boogs saying this shit and getting paid 3200 a month for it. It is disgusting and really needs to be stopped. It is a matter of seperating the little bit of wheat from the chaff. Because patriotic combat soldiers who had their worlds rocked and minds shattered isnt a bullshit thing. And most of them truly believed they were doing it for the good of America.
Nothing or anything you ever did is deserving of the taxpayers having to feed and clothe you. Make your own living, and stop the name calling, please. thanks
scott,
i was not in the military but i have known multiple young guys that were who are receiving disability for ptsd or other mental disability claims.
imho,they need to do more in depth psychological tests on recruits b4 allowing them to enlist.
the ones i’ve known who have severe mental problems from their time in service weren’t very psychologically strong to begin with.
Where can I find these people who put out for vets? I never found them and I feel like I’ve missed out on what my nation owes me for my service. Do I need to wear medals on an old jacket or pull a Charlie Day and ride a wheelchair to get some?

That the flag is a “symbol” is but an 8th grade level observation. Yet, symbols do mean something. This, too, is an elementary observation. Yet, one must ask what it means and to WHOM.
It means 320 million things. It means ONE thing.
Of course, I’m talking about citizens, and government.
As a citizen, I have my own beliefs about patriotism and it’s chief symbol, the flag. Zerozee0 above has his. You have yours. And so on down the line for all of us. This is just as it should be. But, there’s a slight problem with that.
The problem is this; I can’t see in your heart, and you can’t see in mine. Yet, we pretend we can. But, this pretense is based on OUTWARD signs …. (he took the knee!!!) …. even though matters of the heart are inward.
Take Colin K., for example. (I can’t stand that douchebag, but for more reasons than his taking the knee.) I don’t really know everything in his heart. Do you? What if his Big Main Reason is because he’s sick and tired of our endless military adventures? Then taking the knee would probably be considered a good thing by most, especially here. We’d probably consider him patriotic. OTOH, if his Big Main Reason is to signify solidarity with Black Lives Matter, then that’s bad …. (UN-patriotic dick!!!).
And, so we believe we must do for all 320 million citizens exercising what they believe patriotism to mean. If their beliefs align roughly with ours … they’re good guys. If not, they suck ass and should go to hell, or at least Australia.
I ask you; who has time for all that fruit inspection? Aren’t we making mountains out of molehills?
——–
The government is a different story altogether.
Patriotism, and especially its chief symbol, the flag, serves but one overriding purpose; indoctrination via brainwashing.
What else can it be … has it ever been?
When Trump (or any President) waves the flag, and you wave the flag, it is as if you become One … sharing the same cause, fighting the good fight together.
But, is that what really occurs? Who calls the real shots? Who influences whom? Will Donald do the will of 320 million? Nope. How could he?
Make no mistake about it. When Donald (or, any President) waves the flag of patriotism, he is saying “patriotism MY way, as I see it”
This, too, is elementary. Yet, so few see it.
Maybe Donald should take a knee from time to time ….. before his brand of patriotism kills us all?
Kaepernick made it pretty clear in interviews after the fact that he was protesting because of the black lives matter bullshit. So he is a seriously hypocritical dick. I don’t have a problem with people peacefully protesting on their own time. I do have a problem with Kaepernick because he is a hypocritical whiny dick who protested on his employer’s time. It is up to his employer to decide what, if anything, they want to do about it. If we don’t approve with how they handle it we are perfectly within our rights to boycott and people who think that the only reason we are boycotting is because of a misplaced patriotism can kiss my ass.
I know why K. does his schtick. I was just trying to make a larger point. Too bad you missed it.
You used a flawed premise to illustrate your larger point and then went on to make that larger point in a convoluted and awkward way. Yes I “got” that point and chose instead to focus on your flawed premise. If you want other people to “get” your larger point and fawn all over you about how clever you were in making it you shouldn’t be so sloppy with the details.
No way, this is Trump triangulating on the libs. I don’t think he really cares, except he knows this is the perfect way to score points on the left using something the public cares about. The public is obviously turned off by this lefty shit and he knows the NFL and the media are trapped either defending it or turning on their own players and their lefty causes. He’s forcing them to disembowel themselves on their own cause on the national stage and it’s brilliant. He doesn’t really lose with this strategy, because the public was already pissed about it months ago, while he can’t lose the folks on the left who already hate him. The more they protest, the more he wins.
Today on Twitter, the President has raised tensions with North Korea; the Golden State Warriors; Iran; the NFL; and John McCain.
Sooner or later, the @NFL and @NBA players are going to learn what Michael Jordan always knew–republicans buy shoes, too.
Professional sports? What a fuckin’ joke! These multi millionaires are a bunch of spoiled adult children. The only thing they and their (((owners))) understand is money. I hope the stands are empty today. I hope tv ratings are in the weeds. I hope people stop buying the useless shit they endorse. Sure, they have a right to sit or kneel during the anthem. We have the right to boycott the games and shun them at every turn. The USofA provides everyone an opportunity to excel and earn a good living. If these whiny niggers don’t like it here they should go to africa and see how much they get paid for playing a kids game.
Drudge this morning has about 15 links to articles … Including an NFL owner taking the knee. Now baseball players are joining the fray.
This now has NOTHING whatsoever to do with patriotism.
It has devolved into nothing more than being anti-Trump.
I’ve been to exactly one NBA game (free ticket), one NFL game (again, free), and one MLB game (I paid). All attended more than two decades ago. Why can’t Americans be more like me? There would be ZERO professional teams amongst us.
Trump should be working on anything but showboating about NFL players. My family is STILL paying $1000 per month for a family healthcare policy with a $6800 deductible for which they are getting NOTHING. The Donald is breaking bad on Venezuela because the oil interests dictate and he is doing the same with NK because the banking/war interests dictate to him.
This is just football, I don’t give two shits about the NFL, people can watch college ball which is light years better IMO. I don’t care if all of the players gather around a Jim Jones size tub of electric Kool-Aid and then proceed to fall over in piles dead as a door nail. LIFE WILL GO ON.
Ever notice the script writers have a million and one ways of keeping the sheep busy with something shiny waaaay over there instead them focusing on what is most important right in front of them? It is a chronic problem with the easily fooled Merican population who then wander around and parrot the MSM as if it is more important than the fact that we are 20 TRILLION dollars in the hole, our jobs are mostly low wage and part time for those who still feel the need to seek work, and we are sending increased amounts of troops to guard the poppy fields in Afghanistan to insure the opium makes it back to cull out the population with the heroin epidemic and prescription drug use.
Stucky says we don’t know what is in Kap’s heart. Well, I really don’t give a rat’s ass and that includes all of the complaining BLM niggahs and their causes. You are either WITH us or AGIN us and that is just the way it has always been, stop falling for the divide and conquer game of the owners.
I would also like to share this thought with you. Some ten years or so ago I read a lengthy article that laid out the plans of the global ruling elite with regards to sports. The plan according to this article was to completely eliminate all team sports except soccer which would become the ONE WORLD SPORT of choice. Just as they want a one world government and religion, they also want the planet to embrace soccer as the rallying sport of sports. Most of the world has already shed other team sports in favor of soccer and I have personally seen soccer pushed to the max here in KY.
The owners have their ways of crafting public opinion to suit their goals so get your dark suits ready for the funerals of pro football and baseball if TPTB have their way.
That one world sport will not happen; Musloids are taking over and playing soccer gets your head chopped off.
It’s not really the NFL. I think all pro sports suck. I hate soccer as much as football. None of them are above the same criticism.
I used to like nascar years ago, but I quit when they expanded. They dumped the south and tobacco and beer to chase the family dollars in Wisconsin and California and elsewhere. It was a lot cooler when the sponsers were tobacco, beer, and car parts, not depends and limp dick pills.
KoKo- That is not true. Musloids play soccer, the problem is they keep stopping on the field to pray and that pisses off the fans.

Yes he has the right to kneel but the question is would a white man be afforded the same right? How long do you think the owners or the media would put up with a white player pulling this crap? Especially if the player in question even hinted at standing up for whites.
The “star” QBs could get away with it.
Not to worry about patriotism covering our sins. There isn’t much patriotism around these days.
C.K. is the embodiment that black lives don’t matter per his own biologic father’s actions. The POS was given every advantage by his white parents enabling his entrance into the NFL. He repaid his white parents by disrespecting them and everything they ever did for him while giving support to the black father who didn’t give a shit about him. Without his white parents he’d be in jail or selling crack on some street corner. Fuck you C.K., you stupid and confused POS.
Sure, I think every American has a right to free speech. HOWEVER in this case we need not support these millionaire fucks, or the ones in Hollywood, who express an opinion based on lies or hate. I think the trend we’re seeing is just that….we “deplorables” have pushed back against these idiots the very best way we can, by refusing to buy their shit. Summer box office was down to the point of scaring the studio heads, and now we’re seeing a big pushback against support for the NFL either in the stadium or on the TeeVee. For example Jennifer Lawrence and her 20 year senior boyfriend director’s movie “Mother” was a total bomb and one of only 19 other movies to receive an “F” rating from, I think it was “crowdscore”. Stadiums are playing half-empty and NFL ratings are down 15% after losing 10% last year.
Let’s keep it up.
I would cheer for Kaepernick if he was protesting the number of bastard black children being born and ignored by their fathers. He could use himself as an example.
The Deplorables are getting really sick of being lectured by the hypocrite class.
