Is anyone else tired of the morose nature of the 9-11 tributes? I think every year we do this the
Islamo-Terror-Fascists who visited this war on our homeland rejoice and do a
victory dance at our grief.
I turned off the news yesterday because I am so tired of it. That no doubt makes me a horrible person.
It’s not that I’m not sympathetic to the loss of so many, I am. But being
sad is not enough. I’m mad, and I don’t
see enough anger about what happened 17 years ago. Every year on 9-11 the whole nation is like the
locker room of a football team that just lost the championship game to an
inferior team.
Here’s what
we ought to do. Treat 9-11 like Memorial
Day. Lower the flag to half-staff until
noon in remembrance of the victims/heroes of that day. Then raise the flag and drop dozens of MOABs
on the ITF in places around the world where they least expect it. Use the day
to remember and then to beat the sh*t out the azzholes who still want to and
worse think they can F- with us.
In short,
9-11 ought to be a day the ITF rats lower their heads, look over their
shoulders, dig a bit deep and live in fear.
Kill them where they work. Kill
them where they play. Kill them where
they eat. Kill anyone supplying them
money, arms or support.
Every 9-11
these f-ers ought to be living in paralyzing fear for their lives and the lives
of anyone – including family – who supports their nefarious BS.
We need to
change the locker room picture and the feeling around the country from a team
that lost the game to a team that is 3 points down at the half and chomping at
the bit to get after the team that cheated and played dirty to get ahead.
Facebook rant
Other than when
I try to get banned, I don’t often weigh in on Facebook. In fact I’ve tried in vain to quit my
Facebook account. But Facebook apparently
is like the Hotel CA, the mob, the communist party etc. You can checkout, but you can never leave.
A friend
posted a blurb about a growing number of military members supporting Colin
Kaepernick. I let it go the first time I
saw it. When it cropped up again using a
military member who apparently suggested to Kaepernick that he kneel (like a Marine
presenting a flag to the next of kin) rather than sitting on the bench I responded
to my friend:
My guess is that any military support for NFL players
kneeling during the anthem is from outliers (Bergdahl & Manning no doubt
support kneeling) rather than mainstream service members. It’s probably a 80-85% to 20-15% split among
the military. In my own day, I’d guess it have been a 95%/5% split.
Only the most obtuse would think that kneeling to present a
folded American flag to the next of kin at a funeral is the same as kneeling during
the anthem i.e. raising the flag, at a football game. Also kneeling to present the flag to the next
of kin is not universal. Having done it,
often the official will simply bend at the waist, present the flag, offer
condolences and render a ceremonial salute.
Consider this, suppose that you are a multi-millionaire. You
can live anywhere in the world you choose.
You believe that where you live now is a hell hole where your family is
threatened by the police for nothing more than the color of their skin. What
would you do?
If I thought that my family was threatened in that manner and
I had the means, I’d move them to safety. ASAP.
How many kneelers have taken the opportunity to move their
families to “safety”? Not one that I
know of. It’s all BS.
I do not care if they kneel or not. I don’t watch. Not because of the kneeling, but rather
because no one in the stadium – including the referees - knows what constitutes
a completed forward pass anymore. The game sucks.
All that said, it remains a free country. There’s nothing but common sense and common
decency that keeps a man from shouting “I had her (the bride) in the back seat
of my car a year ago” at a wedding. It says more about the honor of America
that allows such doltish behavior than anyone who engages in it.
When kneeling becomes passé, what’s next? Spitting on the flag? Standing on it? Defecating on it? I don’t get it. Just stand.
After that
post another compared kneeling in church to the NFL protests, to which
I responded:
