We are living in a time of lies meant to destroy and extreme propaganda... to a degree that it is even manifesting in sports and, yes, even the beloved sport upon which this site was once predicated back in its heyday.  And, 'tis ALL just for the sake of the desire for political power, and those sucked in are just pawns.
Contrary to the NFL's new segregationist "National Anthem" policy and this new commercial of theirs, I hate to break it to the naive, brainwashed pawns among you, but the NFL is NOT everything... obviously.  It is THIS:

On this 4th of July Independence Day, for all the patriots out there, who are not looking for reasons to hate America whilst ignoring all other atrocities the world over, I would like to provide a few hopefully wise words about our NOW (again) beleaguered "National Anthem" (as the transformation-obsessed left has their eyes ultimately on the prize of the Constitution, so we have to start vigorously defending heritage)...
First, what the CRT left has honed in on is two lines from the "Star-Spangled Banner's" third verse, which, mind you, NEVER gets sung. I shall not pull them out of their context like tendentious losers who cannot do otherwise have to do. Here is the whole song: https://www.lyrics.com/sublyric/4172. Despite all the amateur,... and professional,... and even professorial pundits who go around in circles on this (here is a prime example of a seemingly scholarly and contextualized but ultimately stupid and empty presentation by someone who obviously just wants to listen to himself speak: https://www.nationalreview.com/2017/09/star-spangled-banner-racist-anthe m/), what is totally obvious is that in context "the hireling and the slave" mentioned are traitors: https://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=5361103. Like it or lump it, that is the main point. If we are going to get granular about the history like everybody purportedly wants to do these days  (which is not really what constitutes objectivity, by the way), the traitors were mercenaries, that is, hired guns in the literal sense, many of whom, indeed, were freed, that is, former slaves, and escaped slaves, and, ANYway, Francis Scott Key, born into a slave-owning family (something he did not control) but himself an abolitionist (something he could control), needed a word that rhymes with "brave", so get the f over it!  It NEVER gets sung at any event, in any event!
On that note,  second,... although (as I discussed in a prior post on the "Politics" thread) I am done with compromising with a bad-faith American left, we could, in the spirit of authentic UNITY, be willing to make the following concession (as, on a "what they want-to-what we want" 0-100 scale, it ranks at about a 90, so we are not giving up too much)... Let's just make it that the "National Anthem" is just the "Star-Spangled Banner's" FIRST VERSE, which is all that ever gets sung, anyway!!! Fair enough, liberals who are not part of the radical left???
ANYWAY, a final reminder on this day of America's independence, of which ALL AMERICANS are inheritors and beneficiaries...

A little slow on the uptake here again, I lament... But, albeit a bit belatedly, I want to send out a thank you to GBRFLer DirkDiggler a.k.a. Steve Warner for the generous donation he made to the site and its "administration".  |

To think of how different the world still, albeit unbeknownstly, was when I made my last post on this thread,... blissfully ignorant of the thoroughly horrendous year that was to ensue. Only question, the answer to which we in essence know but will never be known,...  how much of what transpired was for politics,... a politics of hatred, indeed,... and was, worse yet, rewarded,... nay,... abetted... by those unrelentingly peddling in and parroting unending sophomoronic sophistry composed of a level of nonstop gaslighting Gish-gallop  that would make Socrates's interlocuters blush?  To have had our vision so blurred in 2020,  what irony,... moreover, by those who are supposed to help us see newsworthy matters clearly,... the insidious double irony!  'Tis treachery, indeed! The very people and institutions that are tasked with helping us see through to the truth of a matter have become that which we need to see through in order to see the truth!  What gives??? Something has got to...
But, humbug... to all that! There is a bigger reason  for the season...  and a lot of important littler ones too...  Someone beating me to the punch  this Christmas is testament to that.
Indeed, Merry Christmas to all, and to all a good...  nnnn...NNNew Year!  |
