Condolences and the National Kneeball League

No good deed by PDJT goes unpunished
The MSM slammed PDJT for not displaying enough empathy when he first visited TX after the hurricane.  Then they slammed him for throwing paper towels to the crowd in Puerto Rico. Now they are outraged that PDJT reaches out fallen soldier’s families.

 

For the clown's full wardrobe look here.  It's amazing that anyone can think that this a good look.

Okay, I wasn’t there.  I don’t know what PDJT said to the widow of a Green Beret soldier La David Johnson.  But when it comes down to it, I’ll take the word of PDJT, Gen Kelley et al over the word of a congresswoman who insists on wearing a child’s rodeo clown hat everywhere she goes. How could anyone take this person seriously about anything?

Making these calls has to be a difficult task.  We know people looking to be offended will find something to be offended by.  The religion of peace, Black Thugs Matter, feminists, well the entire grievance industry is in a perpetual state of being offended and taking offence with the even the most mundane and even well-intentioned things.   Unless he asked the widow if she’d decided what to with La David’s golf clubs yet, I’ll give PDJT the benefit of the doubt.  I’m absolutely certain he didn’t order his staff to get La David’s family on the phone so he could insult them.

I'm sorry the asshat congresswoman would use the occasions of a condolence call to the family of a fallen soldier to make political hay against PDJT. Whatever was said, the intent was obviously to offer condolences.    

The definitive word on the National Kneeball League
Lex weighed into the National Kneeball League controversy with Ft. Wayne’s paper of record - the Journal Gazette.  After particularly stupid letter from the local chapter of something called the National Association of Social Workers, Lex couldn’t take it anymore and fired off the rant under to the editors.  

To add heft to the missive, in the signature line, Lex made up his own “Association” and made himself president of the local chapter.  The editors, being humorless Lefty Libs, will, no doubt, scrub the sarcasm.  The Social Workers’ letter follows my own brilliant reply. Hat tip to Steve Locke for the “I had her line.”  

Re: Letter from National Association of Social Workers “President's job to uphold, not undermine, people's rights” of Oct. 18, 2017

At the moment of truth, during a wedding ceremony, when the preacher asks for objections, there are only about 2,000 good reasons why, in a civilized society, an honorable man doesn’t stand up and shout, “Because I had her.”  None of the 2,000 includes that he’s forbidden to engage in such boorish behavior by the U.S. Constitution.

So it is with the pampered fools in the National Kneeball League.  No one – President Donald J. Trump included -disputes the players’ absolute right to put their ignorance and bad manners on full display by disrespecting the flag, the anthem and the country.  Go ahead.  Have at it.

In the age of extreme Trump-derangement-syndrome, Leftists are so starved for a single logical argument about anything that they are totally willing to make boobs of themselves by conflating the right to speak with the non-existent right not to be criticized or punished for their ill-mannered remarks or displays.

These fascist posing as anti-fascist free speech supermen, support free speech right up to the point someone disagrees with their boneheaded point of view.  That is the precise moment when they are quite willing to scrap the 1^st Amendment and stifle free speech.  They hail the players free speech under the 1^st Amendment.  If President Trump or anyone else dare disagree with the misguided protest, lacking any logical argument or thought from the left, they are instead met with, "Shut up! You’re a racist, homophobic, misogynist, fascist who needs to be shouted down and punched in the face for your views."

Look, you’re either for free speech or you’re not.  Clearly not all social workers are.

President's job to uphold, not undermine, people's rights

On Sept. 22, at a rally in Alabama, President Donald Trump stated that football players – who were exercising their constitutional rights and freedom of speech by putting a knee on the ground during the national anthem – are “sons of bitches” and their coaches should “fire them!”

We, as Indiana social workers, find his statements to be appalling, un-democratic, alarming, racist, misogynistic and unacceptable.

We stand with these athletes, their families, and all Americans seeking justice and freedom through exercising our constitutional rights of free speech, peaceful protest and demanding equal, respectful treatment for all Americans. We stand and say these statements threaten and undermine our rights and our humanity, and they need to stop immediately. There is no room for inciting racist feelings and/or actions in our country.

Our peaceful and respectful voices will be louder in response to such statements. We stand in support and solidarity that such statements will not be quietly absorbed and absolved in silence. We will stand up to racism and bigotry, and work toward a more respectful union for everyone in our dear country. Respect, fairness and equality will win. We are, as are the NFL players, loyal Americans, working to experience and fulfill American ideals.

No president has the right to determine who is allowed to practice their First Amendment rights as protected under the Constitution. It is the president's job to protect those rights, not undermine them.
