The stupidness just keeps on keepin' on and gets more and more outrageous each time!

“Christ Church in Alexandria, Virginia will take down a memorial marking the pew where [George] Washington sat with his family, saying it is not acceptable to all worshipers.”*

You know George Washington. He was the first president of the United States! 

I’ve got a different view than those Episcopalians of Christ Church in Alexandria, VA. I wouldn’t belong to such a spineless church so willing to bend to political correctness. Who knows what “unpleasantness” found in Holy Scripture they’d also be willing to “take down” so as not to offend visitors.

Further, I wouldn’t even visit such a church - to worship or as a tourist! (And I have been to that church a few times to see it just because of its famous former member! But, I won't be back, unless they revisit this dumb decision and reverse it.)

Social mores like the forcing of society to accept homosexuality and desecrating and denying our common history like this hysteria over war memorials and former presidents and reading racism and hate in every last little thing like idioms (NFL owner saying we can’t have the “inmates running the prison”, etc about his players dissing on the National Anthem by taking a knee instead of standing for it.**) are the kinds of decisive things that divide and deteriorate a once-common people until their society eventually comes completely unwound.

What got us knit back together after the American Civil War was a focus on us all being Americans again. With common heritage and common existence working towards a common future of equal opportunity, not necessarily equal outcomes.

What helped America survive the Great Depression was we were all Americans suffering together and would persevere together and proceed out of that economic Depression together into a common future Of equal opportunity, not necessarily equal outcomes.

What saw us through World War Two - a period of severe restrictions of gasoline, tire, flour and more all being rationed, of men drafted off to combat many not to return or to return maimed or otherwise scarred for life - was the belief that it was necessary for democracy and freedom equal opportunity , not necessarily equal outcomes, to be available worldwide. And that democracy would endure back home in America into the common futures of Americans. And the list goes on.

But, somewhere along the way in the years since, we’ve managed to let self-serving, divisive rabble rousers pit American against American trying to erase, revise and otherwise destroy our common history, our common bond in where we’ve been so as to prevent us from going forward together…as Americans, together, in a common future…of freedom and democracy….

So, let’s step back and take count of what they’ve done to us so far - just to mention a few things;

• They (the Democrat Party and other fosterers of the “handout mentality”) have managed to vilify the productive part of our society – businesses, business leaders, and the corporations that create jobs for which productive people work to earn money to pay their bills.
• They (Black Lives Matter, et al) have managed to vilify those who patrol our streets and cities 24/7 fighting crime – law enforcement.
• The American Civil Liberties Union, the Freedom From Religion Foundation and the rest of their ilk has managed to vilify Christianity as an evil, hate-based religion and has managed to ban just about any use of a cross symbol in cemeteries,*** jewelry**** and the like seen in public. (Whether or not on public land or the cross memorial was paid for privately)**
• They’ve managed to convince people that our history involving the American Civil War is so heinous and oppressive as to necessitate the descecration of memorials to dead Confederate soldiers or schools named after their generals. Of course, never mind that these have stood for or been so named for nearly a century that they must be destroyed and renamed.*****

·       And it’s something new almost every day. And everytime our spineless culture “feeds the bully” and gives into this stupidness, the next demand is all the more outrageous and ridiculous than the last.

So, America, what’s next!?!? Come on, Americans! We’ve got to stand for something lest we fall for anything! It’s time to say enough of this stupidness and stand up against it.

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.

The Next Time You Need a Cop, Call a ...

The stories are increasing in number –a Dunkin’ Donuts employee in Hartford, CT;an Arby’s in Pembroke Pines, FL; Chuck E. Cheese in Bowling Green, KY; Whataburger in Lewisville, TX; Starbucks in Philadelphia* and now at a Taco Bell in Phenix City, AL.** More and more fast food workers seem to be refusing to serve law enforcement officers.

Really? So, these young punks think they’re really making some kind of social statement by refusing service to those sworn and protect…. All this in the wake of that divisive, rabble rousing “Black Lives Matter” movement. (NOTE: Who the hell ever said they didn’t matter? But, one more time let me tell you that ALL lives matter! And…isn’t it interesting that in most every case at issue the black perp who got shot that started all this hysteria was involved in some kind of criminal activity right before dying at the hands of law enforcement? Coincidence? I think not. There's wisdom in the old saying that "if ya lie down wtih dogs ya get up with fleas." But, hell; why should facts and logic get in the way of mob psychology?)

So now these young fast food punks think that not only should they make a career type wage flipping burgers but now they also think they have the right to be rude and refuse to serve cops in uniform.

So, to those know-it-all punks refusing to serve cops because of their self-righteous indignation at law enforcement I say this; the next time your restaurant gets robbed or you wake up to the sounds of a burglar in your house or apartment or the next time you get carjacked, skip calling your local police or sheriff dept. Instead, whip out your cell phone and call your local Black Lives Matter activist. 

Maybe they’ll “protect and serve” you faster, better and more selflessly than your average law enforcement officer would.

I doubt they would. And something tells me that despite your looking down your nose at cops in your fast food restauratnt, you’ll still faster call a cop or sheriff and expect more protection and service from them than you will your local rabble rouser.

I think I've heard it ALL now....

This country is about one step from coming undone. I think the closest it's ever came to this before in my lifetime was perhaps 1968.

Similar to 1968, racial tensions - between blacks and whites, particularly - are at a breaking point. But, I'm not sure they've ever been as bad as they are here in 2015. Take for example, "After at least 129 people were killed in coordinated attacks on Friday in Paris, several protesters took to Twitter to express anger at 'losing the spotlight' in the media.

"'Racist white people kill me, you want everyone to have sympathy for YOUR tragedy, but you have none for ours,' wrote user Melanin Monroe under the Twitter handle @NeonElectricity in a post that has since been removed."*

But, the difference between 1968 and now was we still had a federal and state system that were pretty much in agreement with each other and a federal system that still valued the rule of law as set out in the Constitution, Bill of Rights, et al. 

Now, even that's went down the crapper with the puppet government we have now.
