This point is the culmination of fifty years of pandering by limo libs, and radical leftist. You expect that from them. However, it was also the pandering, of people who should have know better, that is the real shame. Anarcho capitalist have also aided and supported the BLM position, in detriment of the Whites who must deal with urban afro thuggery on a daily basis. They keep mixing up police abuses of local small town/suburban police with the absolutely necessary city police suppression of urban afro violence. One has nothing to do with the other, but being sheltered in cupcake land, they are unable to make such distinctions. Thanks to their utopian anarcho fantasies, they have made things worse for the rest of us.

Freedom of Speech. Everybody wants it for themselves, but not for those with whom they disagree.

Just the ongoing rehash of Nixon’s “America, love it or leave it.” That America has countless problems, ALL caused by government and the vast majority of Americans who have simply bent over and said “thank you sir, may I have another” is of little import. That one simply cannot read the Constitution, the Declaration of Independence, or the Bill of Rights and find AUTHORITY for 90%+ of what the federal government does to our economy and our lives on a daily basis doesn’t matter. “This is the country WE helped fuck over, and the hell if we are going to sit here and let anyone say anything bad about it, interrupt our football game or the national anthem by reminding us about our failings and our failed government, without us getting pissed off.” So long as these folks protest somewhere in a “free speech zone” far away from the TV cameras its ok. The minute they get in your face it gets personal and is not allowed.

Johnson (D) owns the Vietnam War and the Great Society Disasters. Nixon (R) shut down the war and the Gold Window (both 1971; he made the dollar Fiat). Obama (D) doubled the National Debt and Trump just raised the Debt Ceiling. The BRICS as of Sept2017 have agreed to sanction the Fiat Dollar and that just broke the World’s Fiat Reserve Currency off in our Keester: 500% deflation of the US Fiat Dollar is next.
Bob, did you mean 500% devaluation? That would only mean that foreign shit is about to get expensive. That would play into the hands of Trump as he would soon be able to suck jobs back to the good ole USA. However, China will not let the Yuan/RMB appreciate against the dollar. They’ll sell dollars first. So we get our toilet paper back and the inflation we exported is now like a turd on our doorstep.
I picked up on one comment in particular.
The comment follows the article.

Pittsburgh, an unassuming town, west of the Appalachian Mountains, comes alive with passion and pride on game night. This diverse population of hardworking “Yinzers” religiously comes together in dive bars across the city to cheer on their beloved Steelers. If we have one thing in common here, it’s that we all bleed black and gold. However, on Sunday, Sept. 24th, many angry Pittsburghers took to social media to express their disgust after the players stayed in the locker room as the national anthem resounded over an empty field. While many applauded their decision to sit out the anthem, the majority of fans felt as if the team had disrespected their country and its veterans.
My newsfeed has been flooded with comments suggesting that football players protest on their own time or leave the U.S if it doesn’t make them happy. It seemed as if an imaginary line of morality had been drawn across the same field that normally brought us together on any other night. The beautiful thing about Pittsburgh sports and Pittsburghers in general is that the passion and love that we have for this city is its beating heart. It is home to old and new generations alike, a melting pot of rich cultures and a sanctuary for anyone looking for a warm welcome. So I’m chagrined at the path our city is currently heading down.
When did kneeling during the national anthem become an attack on our brothers and sisters in arms?
When Colin Kaepernick originally began kneeling, it was to bring attention to the unjust killings of black men. So, when did kneeling during the national anthem become an attack on our brothers and sisters in arms? I’d like to challenge the notion that choosing to “take a knee” is meant to disrespect our men and women in service. In fact, many silent protestors fully support our soldiers while simultaneously hanging their heads in dismay, on bended knee, in response to the current social climate.
So, let’s shift our perspective.
As an Army veteran, proud Pittsburgher and black American, I volunteered to risk my life for freedom, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. If you are one who truly feels you are living in “the land of the free,” pledging your allegiance to the flag is a joy and a privilege. However, if you are one who feels the current state of affairs in this nation does not accurately represent those spoken values, of if you are one who feels that this nation and its leaders have disappointed you and our veterans, pledging allegiance is equivalent to self-betrayal.
It’s important to remember patriotism isn’t about forcing people to stand and salute the flag or about shaming them for choosing not to. Patriotism is about making this country a place where everyone wants to do so. Taking a knee was never about an outdated anthem, piece of cloth or veterans. It has always been about symbolism, privilege and racial injustice. It was fully intended to start the conversation about a society that supports the unjust treatment of people of color and how all Americans play a part in this broken system.
After all, dissent is the highest form of patriotism.
So yes, maybe watching the Steelers stay behind instead of standing for the national anthem was uncomfortable to watch, but not more uncomfortable than being murdered because of the color of your skin. It is important to get beyond the idea of the flag and start talking about why the ideals it is supposed to represent aren’t being upheld.

For almost 150 years the United States has been conducting an interesting experiment. The subjects of the experiment: black people and working-class whites.
The hypothesis to be tested: Can a people taken from the jungles of Africa and forced into slavery be fully integrated as citizens in a majority white population?
The whites were descendants of Europeans who had created a majestic civilization. The former slaves had been tribal peoples with no written language and virtually no intellectual achievements. Acting on a policy that was not fair to either group, the government released newly freed black people into a white society that saw them as inferiors. America has struggled with racial discord ever since.
Decade after decade the problems persisted but the experimenters never gave up. They insisted that if they could find the right formula the experiment would work, and concocted program after program to get the result they wanted. They created the Freedman’s Bureau, passed civil rights laws, tried to build the Great Society, declared War on Poverty, ordered race preferences, built housing projects, and tried midnight basketball.
Their new laws intruded into people’s lives in ways that would have been otherwise unthinkable. They called in National Guard troops to enforce school integration. They outlawed freedom of association. Over the protests of parents, they put white children on buses and sent them to black schools and vice versa. They tried with money, special programs, relaxed standards, and endless handwringing to close the “achievement gap.” To keep white backlash in check they began punishing public and even private statements on race. They hung up Orwellian public banners that commanded whites to “Celebrate Diversity!” and “Say No To Racism.” Nothing was off limits if it might salvage the experiment.
Some thought that what W.E.B. Du Bois called the Talented Tenth would lead the way for black people. A group of elite, educated blacks would knock down doors of opportunity and show the world what blacks were capable of. There is a Talented Tenth. They are the black Americans who have become entrepreneurs, lawyers, doctors and scientists. But ten percent is not enough. For the experiment to work, the ten percent has to be followed by a critical mass of people who can hold middle-class jobs and promote social stability. That is what is missing.
Through the years, too many black people continue to show an inability to function and prosper in a culture unsuited to them. Detroit is bankrupt, the south side of Chicago is a war zone, and majority-black cities all over America are beset by degeneracy and violence. And blacks never take responsibility for their failures. Instead, they lash out in anger and resentment.
Across the generations and across the country, as we have seen in Detroit, Watts, Newark, Los Angeles, Cincinnati, and now Ferguson, rioting and looting are just one racial incident away. The white elite would tell us that this doesn’t mean the experiment has failed. We just have to try harder. We need more money, more time, more understanding, more programs, more opportunities.
But nothing changes no matter how much money is spent, no matter how many laws are passed, no matter how many black geniuses are portrayed on TV, and no matter who is president. Some argue it’s a problem of “culture,” as if culture creates people’s behavior instead of the other way around. Others blame “white privilege.”
But since 1965, when the elites opened America’s doors to the Third World, immigrants from Asia and India–people who are not white, not rich, and not “connected”–have quietly succeeded. While the children of these people are winning spelling bees and getting top scores on the SAT, black “youths” are committing half the country’s violent crime–crime, which includes viciously punching random white people on the street for the thrill of it, that has nothing to do with poverty.
The experiment has failed. Not because of culture, or white privilege, or racism. The fundamental problem is that white people and black people are different. They differ intellectually and temperamentally. These differences result in permanent social incompatibility.
Our rulers don’t seem to understand just how tired their white subjects are with this experiment. They don’t understand that white people aren’t out to get black people; they are just exhausted with them. They are exhausted by the social pathologies, the violence, the endless complaints, the blind racial solidarity, the bottomless pit of grievances, the excuses, and the reflexive animosity.
The elites explain everything with “racism,” and refuse to believe that white frustration could soon reach the boiling point.
