They're Not Kneeling |
| "I can't say enough in praise of our military -- Army rangers and paratroopers, Navy, Marine, and Air Force personnel -- those who planned a brilliant campaign and those who carried it out. Almost instantly, our military seized the two airports, secured the campus where most of our students were, and are now in the mopping-up phase. It should be noted that in all the planning, a top priority was to minimize risk, to avoid casualties to our own men and also the Grenadian forces as much as humanly possible. But there were casualties, and we all owe a debt to those who lost their lives or were wounded. They were few in number, but even one is a tragic price to pay."--President Ronald Reagan, 1983 |

This NFL mess is all the President's fault--President Obama.
The Big Lie of the Obama-Holder-Sharpton-CNN War on Cops undergirds this whole sorry episode. Kaepernick was merely following their "leadership".
President Trump merely said that a son of a bitch should be fired for kneeling during the anthem and that people should walk out to stop it.
And that criticism makes whole teams turn their back on the nation's anthem and hide in tunnels like rats, because he hurt their widdle feewings?
Despite the deaths of American servicemen in Grenada--or maybe because of it--Obama stood up for the Anthem--the Cuban Communist Anthem. And you brats can't even stand for the American anthem?
Thing is, both then as now, Rangers Lead the Way.
The Sound of Music-UPDATE:
Ace: "People watch tv shows and sports for escapism. As the Democrat-Entertainment complex has decided to offer instead No-Escapism -- never a moment's respite from the propaganda of the hard left -- they are no longer providing the only thing people go to them for.".......
My great-aunt honeymooned in pre-war Europe. I asked her if she ever wanted to go back, and she said no, she wanted to remember it the way it was.
So it is with the NFL. We want to remember it the way it was.
It reminds me of Rolfe Gruber in The Sound of Music; the telegram delivery-boy who dances with Liesel in the gazebo. As Europe slides downhill, he morphs into a young party member. Caught while escaping, Christopher Plummer as Herr Von Trapp takes Rolfe's pistol away, saying "You'll never be one of them". His pride hurt, Rolfe blows the whistle on the family anyway, even on the girl he once loved.
President Trump just took the NFL's pistol--and, stung, they blew the whistle just like Rolfe.
Speaking of musicals, America devised a system that sent you to college and pays you lavishly to chase an oblong ball through piles sweaty men while wearing brightly-colored spandex. Would it really kill you to stand there respectfully for a couple of minutes?
A: Yes, evidently it would kill them. The only Steeler who stood up has now been forced to apologize. Public Recantation always was a Party favorite.
