Steve Kelley for September 26, 2017

So what caused Steve Kelley’s brain damage? Watching too much football?

Three tours, I’m with the players………………..Weak, Kelley

Trump is unAmerican to criticize our national sport, our fascist endless right wing parade.

This is insulting to the players.

The brain damage is not in the football players but in those that voted for trump.

Aaron Hernandez NFL football player, dead at 27 had his brain diagnosed. Bad, Really Bad.

South Park covered this quite well.

I will play Devil’s Advocate with both sides by posing 2-questions.If choosing the National Anthem as your moment to protest social injustice was such a wonderful idea, why were so few players joining in until President Trump came out against it?

And if organizing Black Lives Matter was an inappropriate way to protest the social injustice inherent in America, perhaps some folks on the right can suggest what they think WOULD BE appropriate?

Since when is peaceful protest wrong? Can you think of another way to bring racial inequality and social injustice to a bigger audience? Peacefully? The national anthem has a verse in it that supports slavery and social inequality. I personally think it was a poor choice of national anthem but that’s just me. There were many other songs proposed for national anthem that were much more patriotic and much more American than that particular song. But that’s just me. And I’m entitled to my own opinion, you’re entitled to yours. So let’s get back to this genius protest. It’s peaceful and it reaches a huge audience. And it’s humble not arrogant. It’s not in your face. It’s not yelling and screaming. It’s not waving banners. It’s simply saying there’s Injustice out there. we’d like you to check it out. Sheer genius!!!!

So the takeaway is that Kelly is against free speech and pro-police brutality. Just reinforces the fact that he’s a fascist.

Certainly removes doubt about police shooting unarmed black people for no reason. I guess your symbol you worship is more important than the lives of American citizens.

The brain damage is in the White House.

From that well known Liberal rag… NRO?

“Americans do not and should not worship idols. We do not and should not worship the flag. As a nation we stand in respect for the national anthem and stand in respect for the flag not simply because we were born here or because it’s our flag. We stand in respect because the flag represents a specific set of values and principles: that all men are created equal and that we are endowed with our Creator with certain unalienable rights.”

These ideals were articulated in the Declaration of Independence, codified in the Constitution, and defended with the blood of patriots. Central to them is the First Amendment, the guarantee of free expression against government interference and government reprisal that has made the United States unique among the world’s great powers. Arguably, it is the single most important liberty of all, because it enables the defense of all the others: Without the right to speak freely we cannot even begin to point out offenses against the rest of the Constitution.

Now, with that as a backdrop, which is the greater danger to the ideals embodied by the American flag, a few football players’ taking a knee at the national anthem or the most powerful man in the world’s demanding that they be fired and their livelihoods destroyed for engaging in speech he doesn’t like?

… "The hypocrisy runs the other way, too. I was startled to see many conservatives who decried Google’s termination of a young, dissenting software engineer work overtime yesterday to argue that Trump was somehow in the right.

Yet Google is a private corporation and Trump is the most powerful government official in the land. The First Amendment applies to Trump, not Google, and his demands for reprisals are ultimately far more ominous, given his job, than even the actions of the largest corporations."

My takeaway from this is “Blacks who exercise their First Amendment rights are brain damaged.” The congenitally defective brain is in the White House.

Jeff Sessions had it right on Fox News this morning. We have to defend free speech of white conservative speakers on university campuses but the free speech of black athletes has to be stifled.

It is curious that many in the NFL would elect to show contempt for the national anthem over several perceived injustices by police officers (all of which have been or are being investigated and adjudicated) but don’t so much as mention the hundreds of people of color killed by other people of color in Chicago thus far this year. Just saying…

so white people think the black protesters are brain damaged?
