USN PO2 intell specialist refuses to stand for National Anthem

As our once-great country and its once-great culture continues to circle the drain, even more stupidness has sprung from the whole “Black Lives Matter” hysteria (as if ALL lives don’t matter).

Besides the idiotic rioting that’s come into vogue everytime a cop shoots a black suspect in the line of duty or a black suspect dies in police custody, we have black athletes acting like buffoons claiming racist American oppression just makes it impossible for them to stand in honor of the country during the National Anthem.

Yeah; the plight of those spoiled, whineybaby black pro athletes is just heartwrenching, ain’t it? I mean, gee; they live in a country where they’re carried around like Arab sultans, cheered on by an admiring public fan base and get paid multiple millions of dollars annually all to …wait for it…nothing more productive than simply playing a kids game!

Oh, the humanity! I mean, their lot is just pitiful. It’s just hard to undersand how they can take such terrible life conditions and such “keep ‘em down” income levels, these black athletes.

The hypocrites!

As if their hypocrisy wasn’t bad enough…now we have a black USN sailor – a 2^nd class Petty Officer (PO2) intelligence specialist – who claims she’s always felt “like such a hypocrite singing about the ‘land of the free’ when I know that only applies to SOME Americans. [She] will gladly stand again when ALL AMERICANS are afforded the same freedoms.”*

Really? Seriously? Who the hell does this woman think she’s kidding?

One outcome of the US Civil War/War of Northern Aggression/War Between the States was the permanent abolishment of slavery all across America.

Thanks to various landmark legal cases (Plessy v. Ferguson, Brown v. Topeka Board of Education, etc) ”Separate but equal” standards are no longer acceptable in anyway anywhere in America.

Unless you’re a minority, that is. Then, a reverse discrimination practice known as “Affirmative Action” have created separate but unequal & very preferential practice that gives minorities all kinds of preferential treatment in:

• Hiring,
• Education,
• Career advancement, etc.

So just who the hell is this black Navy woman think is being denied any freedoms?

Not only is anyone not being confined or enslaved, if a black person cannot get ahead in today’s America, then I purport that they’ll never be able to because of Affirmative Action and how the institutions in the country (banks that loan people money, employers who have jobs for people to do, schools who have students to teach and train, etc etc) tremble at the thought of being accused of racism and hence go out of their way to provide opportunity to minorities that they don’t strive so hard to provide non-minorities.

This young black Navy woman should feel instead like a hypocrite for having grown up in the greatest nation on the planet for being fertile with opportunity – opportunities for all people who are here – and making such a ludicrous statement as her protest explanation.

She should feel like a hypocrite for making such a dumb allegation about a country where its black and other minority citizens have more opportunities for economic support (welfare, food stamps, loans, grants, educational admittance, hiring and promotion etc) than their counterparts almost anywhere else in the world. (I wonder if she could tell us why, if America is such an oppressive place, so many immigrants come here?)

Hers is the kind of idiocy and life in the Moronosphere handout mentality that these liberal social policies have bred in our once-great culture and country. It’s sickening.

I hope those military officials who implement the Uniform Code of Military Justice throw the book at her and prosecute her to the full extent of the law – to the point she does hard time over this act of hypocrisy, stupidity and treason.

It’s September 11, Patriot Day. The day we remember those innocent victims of Islamic terror attacks on New York City and Washington, DC. It’s also a day when we remember and honor those first-responders who rushed in hoping to save others while everybody else rushed out trying to save their own lives.

But on this Patriot Day, we have idiots like the QB for the world’s largest outdoor insane asylum (San Francisco) Colin Kaepernick, Denver’s Brandon Marshall and now Kansas City Chiefs’ Marcus Peters all of whom have refused to stand for the National Anthem prior to their games.

"’I am not going to stand up to show pride in a flag for a country that oppresses black people and people of color,’ Kaepernick told NFL Media in an exclusive interview after the game.”* "’I'm against social injustice,’ Marshall said.”**  “’I’m just stating that I’m black and I love being black,’ Peters told reporters. ‘I’m supporting Colin (Kaepernick) and what he’s doing as far as raising awareness with the justice system.”***

In that case, I’ve got something to “state” to all you overpaid, pampered, spoiled black NFL players who think blacks are so oppressed in this country by racism and an unfair justice system: you think you’re so oppressed here in 21^st century America, MOVE OUT OF THE COUNTRY!

And, while you’re relocating, why don’t you go and try expressing your opinion in such “tolerant” countries as, oh…say, Saudi Arabia where you can be put to death for wearing a piece of jewelry with a cross on it, telling someone about Jesus Christ or otherwise NOT abiding by Islamic Law. **** 

Or perhaps you’d like living in Rwanda where 20% of the population - 70% of which was of one tribe’s bloodline (Tutsi) – was killed by another indigenous tribe (Hutu) simply for having an unpopular ancestry. *****

Maybe you find the North Korean justice system far more to your liking. In the 1990s, 3.5 million North Koreans died of simple starvation. When was the last time you knew of any of the so-called “oppressed” blacks you claim to be defending in this country were denied food stamps, welfare and/or housing assistance on the basis of their skin color? 

My bet is never! 

One doesn’t have to look very hard in this country to find evidence of reverse discrimination – you know; preference in hiring, promotions, college admission, student loans, small business loans and housing loans given because the applicants are of minority ethnicity.*****

Not only that, in several of these communities where you spoiled rabble-rousing football playing nitwits say blacks have been so abused by the justice system – specifically by law enforcement shooting black perpetrators – have been cities with black police chiefs and/or black mayors. And let’s not forget these cities are all in a country with a 2-term black president.

So, you pampered, overpaid whiney baby NFL players that feel the need to make names for yourselves protesting the national anthem of a nation you’re so convinced is oh, so oppressive and unjust can just pack your crap and get the hell out. And “don’t let the door hit ya where the good Lord split ya.”

And mark my words; racism will never be allowed to die. Because the likes of you and others like you know there’s power, money and all sorts of other advantages to be found by throwing the race card. So, no way you’re ever gonna let your biggest and best weapon ever go by the way side.

Like they told the hippies of the 1960s, “America; Love it or leave it.”

Keep the blame where the blame belongs.

The National Geographic Channel has been running some specials detailing the vicious crimes of former Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein. These documentaries explored – in gory detail – the mass executions, the burying people alive, the physical and mental torturing and, lest we forget, his use of Weapons of Mass Destruction (WMD) against not only his enemies in Iran, but also his own Kurdish citizens.

One in particular replayed videotapes taken by Saddam’s own henchmen of their physically beating Iraqi “dissidents” with rods, beheading them, breaking their arms and the list of atrocities goes on and on. At some point in the show an estimate of 300,000 executions took place during Saddam Hussein’s nearly 30 year reign of terror as the totalitarian leader of Iraq.

Of course, the narration of each documentary pointed out that the WMDs the United States was convinced Iraq had were never found. Liberals love to holler about this “false” premise for launching the Second Gulf War which ultimately led to Hussein’s arrest, trial and execution for his many crimes against humanity. Each of these documentaries insinuates this same accusation.

But, let’s examine a few related rumors before they try to ferment into facts.

Firstly, the U.S. didn’t just “think” that Hussein’s Iraq had WMD. Hussein himself had previously possessed such and previously used them. As mentioned above, he’d utilized them against Iran and against the Kurdish Iraqi citizens in the north of his country.

Secondly, even these very documentaries admit that in the early 2000s – when the whole post-9-11 world had a reason to fear global Islamic terrorism - Hussein had done a very effective job of making the whole world – particularly Hussein’s internal and external enemies – think he possessed WMD.

In other words, at the very least, Hussein was running a very convincing bluff.

Thirdly, many of the liberal politicians who later screamed their heads off about Bush’s justification for invading Iraq and toppling Hussein were…wait for it… earlier as equally convinced as Bush of Hussein’s possession of large stockpiles of WMD. That includes former NY Senator, former Secretary of State, now presidential candidate Hilary Clinton and former MA Senator, former presidential candidate, now Secretary of State John “Flip Flop” Kerry who “voted for it before he voted against it.”

Lastly, Bear in mind that even though these same liberals claim that Bush should’ve been impeached for launching the War on these false pretenses, they conveniently ignore that the Democrats were the majority in both the House and the Senate at that time and could’ve easily impeached Bush had there actually been legal grounds supporting such a charge.

The bottom line on this story is that Saddam Hussein was a brutal, vicious, probably damned psychopathic, oppressive dictator. He was running a bluff apparently holding only deuce-high nothing. He got his bluff called and was found to be holding nothing.

Do I lose sleep over that? Hell no. the world is far better off without such a vicious maniac terrorizing, brutalizing and slaughtering his own people as well as destabilizing an already terribly unstable region.

And I think we all should remember these points about Hussein’s history and keep the blame on him where it belongs.
