HANDS DOWN, DON'T FLAG ME...

3 short sentences, you may find interesting. These three, short sentences tell you a lot about the direction of our current government and cultural environment:

 

 

1.) We are advised NOT to judge ALL Muslims by the actions of a few lunatics, but we are encouraged to judge ALL gun owners by the actions of a few lunatics.

 

 

Funny how that works.     And here's another one worth considering.

 

 

2.) Seems we constantly hear about how Social Security is going to run out of money.

 

 

How come we never hear about welfare or food stamps running out of money?     What's interesting is the first group "worked for" their money, but the second didn't.

 

 

Think about it..... Last but not least:

 

 

3.) Why are we cutting benefits for our veterans, no pay raises for our military and cutting our army to a level lower than before WWII, but we are not stopping payments to illegal aliens such as monthly payments for each child, money for housing, Food Stamps, free education including college and also the right to vote?

 

 

Am I the only one missing something?

A question for BO: There are 84 pipelines crossing the border from Canada. Why is #85 (Keystone) such a huge problem?  There is absolutely no legitimate reason for this matter to have drug on for 6 years.

Back in the late 70s or early 80s, football players started doing dances when they scored a touchdown.   Today, not only is it not “how you played the game”, it isn’t even whether you win and lose.   Now it’s “Look at me!!”  Players aren’t worried about scoring for the team or even being part of the team, it is all about getting individual attention.  Players celebrate after making a tackle, catching a pass, or making a first down (i.e.: did their jobs).   Radio host Michael Berry calls this The “Peacock-ification” Of The NFL.   He also told a story that has been often relayed: The great running back Earl Campbell was once asked why he didn’t do a dance when he scored a touchdown.   Earl replied “When I was with the University of Texas, Coach (Daryl) Royal told me, ‘Earl, when you get to the end zone, hand the ball to the Ref and act like you’ve been there before.”

On a related topic, Rush Limbaugh addressed the rampant racism in the NFL.   He pointed out that 75% of the players are black, but the officials are overwhelmingly white. As a result, these authority figures unequally penalize black players.  Week after week, black players are accused and punished – despite their professed innocence -- much more than white players.   How long will it be before we take up to the cry “HANDS DOWN! DON’T FLAG ME!” ?
