Ye Shall Know The Truth and ...

By Michael The Libertarian

It has been an old saw for many years: “The truth will out” and as with many things that come from the left, the truth is “outing”, now.

The California chapter of the (N)ational (A)ssociation for the (A)dvancement of (C)olored (P)eople (NAACP) is calling on California lawmakers to pressure the federal government to abolish the Star Spangled Banner as our National Anthem.

You see, almost from the beginning, we've been told that an athlete with diminishing skills who had already lost his starting job had chosen that moment to make a political statement.

We've been told for a couple of months, now that this has “nothing to do with disrespecting the flag or the anthem”, but again, the truth is out.

From the article:

“The group says the song, which has been a point of controversy in the NFL, is “one of the most racist, pro-slavery, anti-black songs in the American lexicon,” The Sacramento Bee reported

So, we've gone from this not being about the anthem to this definitely being about the anthem.

It never had anything to do with Kaepernik's declining skills. No, not at all.

“We owe a lot of it to Kaepernick,” California NAACP President Alice Huffman told The Sacramento Bee. “I think all this controversy about the knee will go away once the song is removed.”

There's an interesting idea. It IS the anthem's fault and this particular statement is almost some kind of circular non-logic. “We owe a lot of it to Kaepernik, but once we get rid of the anthem, the controversy will be over” Was this the end game (at least for the NAACP) all along?

I have been saying for 30+ years that the idea of “progressiveism” was misnamed. They don't want progress. They just want to leave a path of destruction in their wake. The evidence is everywhere.

Some racist piece of garbage shoots up a black church? Remove “The Dukes of Hazard” from TV. Oh, and by the way, let's get rid of that Virginia Battle Flag while we're at it. Oh! Those statues of Civil War Generals? They need to go, too. Oh and Washington, Jefferson, Adams, Hamilton … Yeah, they got to go, too.

Destroy, destroy, destroy. That's what it's all about.

Next, the NAACP goes on to put the blame where it “really” belongs:

“Trump got in the middle of it. He blew it out of proportion”

Yeah, that was it. No one (like me) wrote (in another venue): “So, I was a little pissed off at Kaepernik, but I am really enraged by the feckless response of the NFL. Remember, this is a company that was charging the U.S. Military (that's pronounced: "we taxpayers" for those of you in Poughkeepsie) to "honor" veterans on Sundays. That was bad enough, but when they allowed this coward to disrespect the very symbol of what allows him to be an arrogant asshole, they lost my support and I canceled my subscription to their Sunday Ticket.” on the 13^th of September, 2016.

It was all about a statement that we knew the man who hadn't been elected yet was going to make almost a year later.

Once again, let's move the goalposts so we can be free to destroy (remember “Room to destroy” during the Baltimore riots, last year?). That's what this little Kaepernik adventure has been about. Unfortunately, if you look at the history, it's what the whole “Progressive” movement is about. No message for a better future; just destruction of the past. It's shameful.

The Left should be very careful as they destroy all that they think is “bad”. How long before they set their sights on a house that “looks too much like a plantation house” and insist that the owner move out so they can tear that offensive sight down, also?

How long before they attack Old Glory herself by insisting that we need to create a new flag? Would the preferred new colors be black and green, perhaps?

Will there be a call to completely remove all forms of policing in this country? Surely that's a problem also. Even black men and women that put on the uniform become racists because of the systemic racism (you know, the racist laws we have on the books) in this country.

When are we going to dismantle the military; that racist institution that affords so many a way out of poverty that doesn't include “pledging allegiance” to the Golden Arches?

How much more of the foundation of the house can be destroyed before the house collapses?
