About as political as I am going to get.....


How is this so hard to understand?  In the words of Theodore Roosevelt:   
"But a hyphenated American is not an American at all. This is just as true of the man who puts "native" before the hyphen as of the man who puts German or Irish or English or French before the hyphen. Americanism is a matter of the spirit and of the soul. Our allegiance must be purely to the United States. We must unsparingly condemn any man who holds any other allegiance. But if he is heartily and singly loyal to this Republic, then no matter where he was born, he is just as good an American as any one else."


I wonder if Colin Kapernick or any of these other "oppressed" millionaires have ever taken the time to sit down and chat with those that fought for the rights they currently enjoy?  Either the men and women who fought against TRUE Facism in WWII or the men and women of the Civil Rights movement in the 1950's and 60's who risked arrest, attack dogs, fire hoses, and even murder.  My thoughts are no, they can not be bothered to talk to true heroes.   


Ernest T. Bass was truly a man out of time.  I have a "list" of folks I would like to pelt with rocks!!
