If you think there is not evil alive and well in this world, then consider what two recent events prove.
There were still-warm dead bodies on the ground in Las Vegas when the Left began claiming that is was only correct to place the fault and blame on the National Rifle Association and Trump supporters for not supporting their version of Gun Control to totally deny all US citizens the right to even own any 'assault weapons' of the Left's choosing. Of course, the Left's considers that the 'assault weapon' to cause evil, not the person who fired it in a crime.
Seattle Seahawk defensive end Michael Bennett acted stupidly August 26, 2017, after the Las Vegas Mayweather-McGregor fight when there was reports of someone firing a weapon. He claimed police officers racially profiled and used excessive force on him by pointing a pistol at his head, threatening to kill him. This, he claimed, supported those NFL players kneeling against the US Flag and National Anthem to protest the total lack of 'social justice' in the United States. Subsequent video evidence was released and no where does it corroborate Bennett's story. It shows he is a complete liar in his version yet the left leaning media claims the incident remains under investigation.
Why, you may ask, does the mass murder of 59 souls and the wounding of some 550 in Las Vegas and Las Vegas police apprehending an NFL player for his suspicious actions during a report of someone firing a gun have to do with an NFL LIVE THREAD on Free Republic?
Well, Rahm Emanuel encapsulated the Liberal modus operandi when he said, "You never let a serious crisis go to waste. And what I mean by that it's an opportunity to do things you think you could not do before." That was from an interview to the "Wall Street Journal" on November 19, 2008.
In both Las Vegas events, the false premise of the Left and Michael Bennett are given by most of the media as matter of fact truth. That 'truth' is the same that was practiced by the late Soviet Union's "Pravda" newspaper in giving what the Communist world considered the facts and only the 'facts' that matter.
Yet the Loony Left and Russian 'Truth' do not have sole leadership in such actions. Certain folks who hate the NFL do not care that we on these NFL LIVE THREADS do not praise any of the protestors nor ask any one to not boycott watching the games. Just because we want to weekly pick who will win and who will lose, we are to blame.
So, I will still continue to post the NFL LIVE THREAD as long as I can because I have a right to--
Thank you, Bender2!
I’m drinking a martini this lovely Friday evening. :)
I’m a fan of “Bosch” as well. Titus Welliver one of those skilled “that guy” actors finally given a lead role.
He’s great. I had seen him on one or more of the Law and Order variations, but it wasn’t until “Bosch” that I appreciated his talent. I hope that this series is continued. It has such rare atmosphere and grit.
“...take away a right...”
No one can “take away” your right.
They can illegally infringe on it; they can try to coerce you with force, etc. They can try and make everything you hold dear and sacred illegal.
But at the end of the day it is a CHOICE; and it is your choice to make; You either choose to comply, or you choose to resist - by any means necessary, and with all that that entails.
A French Resistance writer once said “War is less costly than servitude. In the end, the choice is always between Verdun... and Dachau.”
I agree with him.
Hundreds of thousands of American people did NOTHING illegal with their firearms today. They did NOTHING illegal yesterday, or the day before that.
ONE psychotic idiot - who may or may not have been part of something larger and more insidious on the part of a certain political party - caused carnage and chaos.
And that same political party - on cue, like it was pre-scripted and waiting in a filing cabinet - come screaming to every camera and mic they can find to launch into an attack on our Constitutional right.
So we’ll hear about repealing the 2nd Amendment, banning this, banning that, etc., etc, blah blah blah. All the talking heads who know exactly DICK about guns are suddenly experts on full auto, semi auto, bump stocks, suppressors...
At the end of the day, if we are to call ourselves Free Men, we damn well better ACT like Free Men and put these jackasses back in their place.
They are Public Servants. They exist and are employed at OUR pleasure. Not the other way around.
If they want Verdun, well... I’ll leave that hanging there. Because we sure as HELL won’t let them have Dachau.
24 hours to get your picks in.
Amen to that.
Now, where are them... OU Babes?
