Tim Thomas posted the following statement on his Facebook page regarding his decision to not attend a ceremony at the White House to honor the Bruins for their Stanley Cup win last June:
"I believe the Federal government has grown out of control, threatening the Rights, Liberties, and Property of the People.
This is being done at the Executive, Legislative, and Judicial level. This is in direct opposition to the Constitution and the Founding Fathers vision for the Federal government.
Because I believe this, today I exercised my right as a Free Citizen, and did not visit the White House.

Liberal sports reporters are going to get their panties in a bunch over this. They’ll act like hysterical banshees for weeks.
All hockey players have superior hand to eye coordination. This particular hockey player also has outstanding mind to mouth coordination.
Rock on, Tim.
Nice to see someone in sports, who will not only be used as a prop, but has a understanding of what is really going on in our government.
Especially here in the Boston market. They are mostly all libs.
Right on Tim!
RIGHT ON!
I may have to re-think my hatred for the Bruins.
Couldn’t her get drummed out of Boston for that?
Very politic statement.
He’s got a future...
Us hockey moms too. Go Lancer Jrs!
Well met, Tim.
My favorite hockey player. Where can I buy his jersey?
I’m a Red Wings fan, but I just became a Tim Thomas fan, too.
People like Mike Lupica will FUME about this.
If this were a Lefty snowboarder or NBA moron blowing off W for the Iraq War or not providing Porsches to all Katrina victims, fat Bob Ley would have an “Outside the Lines” to speak out for “Athletes who Advocate”.
Barkley and ESPN (Disney) and NBC (GE) would fawn and flutter over “free expression” but when a Conservative protests “Zer0” there will be backlash.
Liberals have free speech, but only when you agree with the gay, abortion, Global Warming, Socialist, open borders, Palestinian position...
Now my second favorite athlete with initials T.T.
Guess my fist!
I’m now a Bruins fan.
