Hey Arty let the refugees, illegal aliens, thugs, terrorists live in your homes and neighborhoods.
BTW nice game?

[Tallguy]

“Blank told Newsday. “America started without any of us, other than Native American Indians. This country was built on inclusion and diversity, on celebration of those differences, supporting those differences...”

Just a thought but Arthur don’t you think that Native Americans of that time where wishing for a little less “inclusiveness and diversity”. Sheesh, What a moron!

[trebb]

Makes me feel even better about the Patriots shocking comeback....

Anyone notice that Gaga behaved herself and had a bit of gaudy patriotic parts and even a Christian bit of lyrics? I also saw the NFL trying to make People forget their anti-patriotism stand with the outline of the USA and the "within these borders" bit - I predict they either come right out and start supporting patriotism or they continue their decline.

[Roman_War_Criminal]

LOL! Wife said exactly the same thing.
As a GA resident - I couldn’t care a less that the Falcons blew it.

His analysis is pure garbage!

[bray]

Going down to the sidelines waiting to celebrate the win was stupid.

[jmaroneps37]

The guy is just another sick liberal He should stick to trying to win instead of sticking his big nose into petty matters.

[TermLimitsforAll]

Well I don’t think he’s going to sell anytime soon. He just spent what, a billion dollars on the new stadium?

I was hoping for the Falcons to win and it looked good until the middle of the second quarter. It appeared to me that the team set back on their laurels for the remainder of the game. They thought it was in the bag but as many do, they underestimated Brady. He is probably the best QB in the game.

As for Blank, he’s a tool. His arm candy probably sticking around for the big payday. I’m sure the pool boy is one happy camper.

[fortheDeclaration]

The team that gave us Mike Vick.

[ohioman]

Your are right. We are probably stuck with Blank. Heysoos Christ! What a tough year to be an Alabama and Atlanta fan. At least I know that Alabama will be in the middle of the title hunt next year. For the Falcons, it could be another 20 years after this colossal collapse.

[SparkyBass]

I wanted Atlanta to win for Matt Ryan.
Now I'm GLAD they lost.

[mowowie]

Trump supporter in Beantown here.
winning has been GREAT.

Now i gotta figure out how to move out of this frigging Moonbat state....

Mr. Blank displays the usual Leftist confusion. America as a concept was not an Indian idea. It grew out of the settler communities that rallied together for independence, when the mother country began to exercise direct control over the Settlers, who had built communities from the ground up. Those original Americans--the particular settler families involved--tolerated, rather than "celebrated," their differences. But they certainly did not adhere to what the Left means by "diversity," today.

Mr. Blank also appears to be a bit of a hypocrite. His statement seems not to celebrate our differences, but rather to aspire to police how we address related issues. There is an inherent contradiction there; but perhaps it is over his head.

Trump, in seeking to return American Greatness, safety & prosperity, has a very clear understanding of American purpose. Mr. Blank, when he gets over the whipping that Tom Brady & the "Patriots" (in both senses) handed him, would do well the heed Donald Trump.

Trump: The Issue!.

Cheers! What a great Super Bowl!

I wish you luck trying to get out of there. I think the east coast is beautiful but the politics, not so much.

[mowowie]

Yea New England is a VERY nice place, wish the people here would get their heads out of their butt...

[hsmomx3]

I wish!!! I have relatives who live there and they are as liberal as can be!!

[who knows what evil?]

I-84 west to I-81; then south. :-)

Speaking of that new stadium:

A Chicago real estate lawyer who worked on that stadium project for the Falcons turned up dead and well charred in a parking garage not long before this story and game.
