Politics Tarnish Movies, TV, Pro Football and Now Me--

Posted on 09/25/2017 9:36:43 PM PDT by Bender2

Back in the 1930s and 1940s, film producer Samuel Goldwyn was renown for his quotes such as "If you want to send a message, call Western Union."

And that was pretty much how it was in films, the coming television industry and in sports. There was politics and there was entertainment. Sadly, it is that no more--

I am a Baby Boomer, a term seldom heard these days as we are all getting into our 70 years of age, a demographic advertisers ignore as if we are already dead and gone.

The Left started putting more and more of their political views into the news media, then into films. Then television. They got "Hate Speech" to suppress any speech they did like. That has has evolved into today's demanding that any view not in step with the Left not even be allowed. Now, my opinion is being suppressed not by the Left, but by those on Free Republic that say I an un-American and not Conservative because I will not go along with their view that my NFL LIVE THREAD is at fault and to be blamed, not Colin Kaepernick and his supporters. What was two different opinions has turned into a pack of worthless thugs the Left Wing would be proud of--

My politics has always been Conservative Republican yet nowadays I am curse by people and told my opinion is not worth of even being allowed on Free Republic.

What is that opinion that is so damned?

Well, I condemned Colin Kaepernick when he dissed the National Anthem last year. I condemned other NFL players who did the same. I agreed they had the right to their opinion but not to dis saluting Old Glory and the vets who fought for Free Speech.

I agree with President Trump that NFL owner have the right to fire players who disrespect the flag and National Anthem. It is a private business that can suspend players for bad actions and to my way of thinking, their kneeling is one very bad action.

Yet I continued positing my NFL Thread as I felt I had the right to-- That is why I am today cast here on FR as the greatest traitor to America since Benedict Arnold.

So, what to do?

I do not ask that anyone support those NFL players who kneel when the "Star Spangles Banner' is sung. I do not ask anyone watch the NFL games. I do not ask anyone to do anything they do not want to--

However, the following I will still post until I am told I cannot do so.

Panthers beat the Pats...

Rams beat the Cowboys...

Broncos beat the Raiders...

And Bills beat the Falcons...

The world has turned upside down.

Cats and dogs, living together....

I told myself I shouldn’t have picked the Jags, Ravens, and Raiders, but I didn’t listen!

My win loss is getting to be normal for me now. Still, there were at least three close ones that could have gone my way.

Just got up and found out about the 20 plus killed shooting in Las Vegas and from the fragmented info available, it appears the shooter is dead.

Kind'a makes the NFL tussle seem small but life goes on and judging from the hate post/mail I've got, you can be sure some FR loony tune will shortly blame me and my quote followers unquote to being at heart the fault for it because of my unAmerican NFL Thread--

Okay, as I said, life goes one.

Stunning...

Always love when “The Quiet Man” or “McClintock!” comes on. It’s Must-Watch (and I have both on DVD too...).

That guy planned it out far in advance.

Surveillance cameras from the hotel will probably show him carting boxes in and out over a few days.

Just waiting for facts before speculating on motive.

Jackasses gotta be jackasses. The shooter and no one else, is at fault.

Over 50 dead and over 400 injured. I would agree that this took time for the guy to get set up. If it was over a few days the maids may have been told not to clean up the room, or the firearms and ammunition were well hidden in luggage.

How about that, the Chiefs end up covering the spread! It was almost another upset.
