It's become increasingly apparent, especially over the last 12-15 years, that anytime the status-quo peeps in the network news or political establishments start clamoring loudly over [insert topic here]... Then it means either or both of two things:<br />a) the topic they're screaming loudly about is actually meaningless, in the greater context.<br />b) the topic they're screaming loudly about is actually a diversion from what you SHOULD be paying attention to.<br />As soon as people get comfy with this truth, the sooner we can correct the REAL problem.<br />A flag of any color means absolutely nothing if what it stands for has been subverted.laughing foolnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7960343306536592656.post-54872095045211594642015-06-22T06:10:41.784-07:002015-06-22T06:10:41.784-07:00The Romneys wrap themselves in the American FLAG b...The Romneys wrap themselves in the American FLAG but NEVER wrap themselves in an American UNIFORM. <br />"patriotism is the last refuge of a scoundrel"<br />(1) Great Grandpa Romney ran to Mexico to dodge American laws<br />(2) Grandpa Romney FLIP-FLOPPED back to America when Mexico got dangerous.<br />(3) Daddy Romney NEVER SERVED through WWII and Korea.<br />(4) MITTENS Romney used "missionary" deferments to DODGE the Viet Nam draft.<br />(5) FIVE sons, and NOT ONE ever wore an AMERICAN UNIFORM.<br />FIVE GENERATIONS, NINE "males", and NOT ONE actually LOVED America enough to SERVE this Nation. The only thing "conservative" about the Romney Family is conserving THEIR OWN BEHINDS. <br />They hide their money OUTSIDE this country ....so they are always ready for a quick get-away.. <br />No Romney ever comes back missing a limb, in a box, or with PTSD ........ because no Romney ever SERVES.<br />The Romneys LOVE WAR ...... because they get RICH off of the suffering of OTHERS.Ryannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7960343306536592656.post-77989864200024314012015-06-22T01:34:54.440-07:002015-06-22T01:34:54.440-07:00Slavery & racism - The BS never ends.
Ask yo...Slavery & racism - The BS never ends. <br /><br />Ask yourself “WHY” Frederick Douglass, the famous (BLACK) leader of the abolitionist movement, warned Lincoln at the time that unless (Northern) slaves were guaranteed freedom and land bounties, "they would take up arms for the rebels." Now why do you suppose Douglas (a black guy) believed northern slaves would defect to the Confederacy and fight for the South? Did he perceive the northern slaves supported racism? (yeah, right) <br /><br />Then ask yourself “WHY”you never heard that the Confederate ‘Constitution’ outlawed the ‘slave trade’ in Article I Section 9(1) in 1861 while the north didn’t address it till after the war.<br /><br />Southern nationalism had NOTHING to do with racism and as a Boston born northerner I would tell Romney to shut up and leave the historical reverence of the southern flags alone. They are *and should be) rightfully proud of their history and traditions.Rick Costellonoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7960343306536592656.post-35614575711592245852015-06-22T00:07:31.574-07:002015-06-22T00:07:31.574-07:00Another distraction created by a never-was politic...Another distraction created by a never-was politician.
