Nike Pulls 4th July ‘Betsy Ross Flag’ Shoes As Racist Symbol

Nike pulls 4th July USA shoe after Colin Kaepernick finds “Betsy Ross Flag” sneaker offensive
-
-
The Betsy
Ross Flag was the first recognized US flag featuring the 13 stars for
the 13 colonies and states, regardless if Betsy actually did the design and stitching.
It is disgusting that any US national company would capitulate to anyone
the premise that any flag of the US is a racist symbol.

Gee Toto –

Nike pulls USA shoe after
Colin Kaepernick finds “Betsy Ross Flag” sneaker offensive
“NEW
YORK — Nike’s sales have only grown since it seized
attention with its ad campaign featuring former NFL quarterback Colin
Kaepernick. So, the shoemaker deferred to its star endorser when he raised
concerns over a sneaker featuring an early American flag.”

“The Wall

a colonial-era U.S.
flag after former NFL quarterback Colin Kaepernick, who has a Nike endorsement deal,
said he and others found the flag symbol offensive because of its connection to
the slavery era.”

Does “Winning Take Care of Everything”?
-
-
It’s interesting that in today’sUS
One of the most famous quotes in football is: Vince Lombardi’s “Winning isn’t everything, it’s the only thing.”
-
Just as with Tiger and Elin, more than 50% of marriages break-up and the current culture appear to be fine with that level of failure; everyone moves on except for, oh yes, the kids, and those single mom’s who become “head of household”. For those we have Hillary's "The Village".
-
Apparently Tiger and Nike have hit a nerve! Perhaps it’s a feminism nerve. God forbid it’s a values or ethic’s nerve. Perhaps it’s just a “hell hath no furry like a woman scorned” nerve.
-
Whatever nerve it is it won’t last long. We’re a fickle people in a fickle pop-culture that focuses on I-things and I-gadgets and I-stars.
Tiger and Nike will continue to get incredibly richer and the fans and customers will pay the way for that financial success.
After all: “Winning Takes Care of Everything”!

We all owe a great debt of gratitude to all those who have worked diligently at the arsenal supplying our military with the munitions and explosives they need to survive and win.

Artillery officer, I am keenly aware of Radford’s major contribution to American
Security and Military support.

then attended the air-defense post at Fort

There are
major components from Radford Arsenal in all of these weapons systems.

The Radford Arsenal also provided the explosive-bolts that attach together the multi-stage rockets for US military and

‘vital’ that ALL these bolts detonate properly and simultaneously for successful
stage-separation; one of the most critical events in missile technology.

50th Anniversary Of American Flag Landing On Moon

What a
pleasure to see this moon landing photo highlighting the US Flag on the moon.
Sadly, In
reviewing the websites featured in a Google Search – it’s difficult to find views that include the US Flag.
-
The
left-wing Media and Hollywood crowd are so
embedded in Obama’s Resist Movement that they can’t even show the American Flag
in the recreation movie of the US Moon Landing!
Neil
Armstrong Movie Starring Canadian Ryan Gosling Doesn’t Feature (show) the
American Flag
-
The
left-wing, Liberal, Progressive anti-American elements in our country denigrate
and or suppress the great American accomplishments at every opportunity
including the Moon Landing.

Colin Kaepernick accuses his White adoptive parents of 'problematic' upbringing, perpetuating racism
https://www.foxnews.com/media/colin-kaepernick-accuses-white-adoptive-parents-problematic-upbringing-perpetuating-racism#
(may have to copy-paste link into browser to view fox article)
Former NFL quarterback Colin Kapernick accused his adoptive parents of "perpetuating racism" in an interview that aired Thursday.
Kaepernick talked about coming to terms with his racial identity while growing up in a White family in his new graphic novel, "Change the Game." The former football player recalled disagreements with his parents that he attributed to racism, calling his upbringing "problematic."
-
-
What a despicable excuse for a human being!
Denigrating the white parents that adopted an abandoned black baby as their own!
Where’s his book on those who abandoned him?
Where’s Hillary’s book on a black community village that didn’t adopt him; didn’t even take him in as a paid foster child?
-
Colon is even nastier and more despicable than Prince Harry but both are benefiting handsomely for their contemptible actions.
What other country rewards this type of behavior? Really?

Charlottesville Celebrates July 4th By Renouncing Jefferson
-
http://americanvision.org/5276/booker-t-washington-on-black-victimhood.
-
For a July
4th Holiday Declaration:
“Charlottesville
Council nixes Jefferson's birthday as holiday”
“To a
smattering of applause as the clock approached midnight, Charlottesville City
Council abolished the celebration of Thomas Jefferson’s birthday.
Council
voted, 4-1, to remove April 13 as a paid holiday at its meeting on Monday.
Councilor Kathy Galvin cast the lone vote in opposition. She has previously
cited Jefferson’s contributions to the
nation’s founding.”
-
-
Charlottesville is truly the hometown of Thomas
Jefferson. His home, Monticello, on the high ground overlooking
the city and his personal design contributions to UVAs architecture is integral
to the cities history.
It’s
fitting that this pathetic group chose to perform this sinister deed as the
clock struck midnight. Wouldn’t want the
bright light of day and real people to witness this sad act.
-
It is
difficult to contemplate who the Charlottesville City Council members really are,
what they’re thinking and how they relate to Jefferson who was The most
instrumental person in the formation of The Colonial Declaration of
Independence that formed the basis of what would become the greatest country
the world has ever known.
-
Jefferson’s Colonial Declaration of Independence laid the ground-work
for the Constitution and the formation of The United States of America.
A
Constitution that is now one of the oldest in the world albeit of one of the younger
countries of the world.
A
Constitution that has been the basis for ever improving quality of life for all
Americans and formed and sustained a country that has been the Leader and Beacon
of all the Free World since 1918.
-
It’s as if
these self-absorbed and self-centered little people are suddenly back in the
Reconstruction Era of our dark days, unable to comprehend today’s society and
its opportunities for all.
-
Clearly
these insignificant political minions are not even a foot-note in the history
of Virginia or America.
They are
the personification of Shakespeare’s Macbeth:
‘They are
but a walking shadow; a poor player, that struts and frets his hour upon the stage,
and then is heard no more.’

Insights
from Booker T. Washington - 1911
“There is
another class of coloured people who make a business of keeping the troubles,
the wrongs and the hardships of the Negro race before the public. Having
learned that they are able to make a living out of their troubles, they have grown
into the settled habit of advertising their wrongs – partly because they want
sympathy and partly because it pays. Some of these people do not want the Negro
to lose his grievances, because they do not want to lose their jobs.”

Only in America: The Top Ten
-
Author Unknown -- but clearly Not found in the Roanoke Times
-
1) Only in America could politicians talk about the greed of the rich
at a $35,000 a plate campaign fund raising event.
-
2) Only in America could people claim that the government still
discriminates against black Americans when we have a black President,
a black Attorney General, and roughly 18% of the federal workforce is
black. 12% of the population is black.
-
3) Only in America could we have had the two people most responsible
for our tax code, Timothy Geithner, the head of the Treasury
Department and Charles Rangel who once ran the Ways and Means
Committee, BOTH turn out to be tax cheats who are in favor of higher
taxes.
-
4) Only in America can we have terrorists kill people in the name of
Allah and have the media primarily react by fretting that Muslims
might be harmed by the backlash.
-
5) Only in America would we make people who want to legally become
American citizens wait for years in their home countries and pay tens
of thousands of dollars for the privilege while we discuss letting
anyone who sneaks into the country illegally just become American
citizens.
-
6) Only in America could the people who believe in balancing the
budget and sticking by the country's Constitution be thought of as
"extremists."
-
7) Only in America could you need to present a driver's license to
cash a check or buy alcohol, but not to vote.
-
8) Only in America could people demand the government investigate
whether oil companies are gouging the public because the price of gas
went up when the return on equity invested in a major U.S. oil company
(Marathon Oil) is less than half of a company making tennis shoes
(Nike).
-
9) Only in America could the government collect more tax dollars from
the people than any nation in recorded history, still spend a trillion
dollars more than it has per year for total spending of $7 million PER
MINUTE, and complain that it doesn't have nearly enough money.
-
10) Only in America could the rich people who pay 86% of all income
taxes be accused of not paying their "fair share" by people who don't
pay any income taxes at all.
-
-
"If you voted for Barack Obama in 2008 to prove you're not a racist,
You'll have to vote for Romney in 2012 to prove you're not an idiot."

Again The Reality Of Communist Aggression
-
-
-
God Help those in the path of the coming Russian BlitzKrieg of Ukraine because clearly they are on-their-own for no fault of their own!
-
How fickle and memory-challenged we are!
How quick and easy to rationalize and appease the ‘hammer and sickle’ bully and aggressor.
There are still those among us who well remember the real ‘hammer and sickle’.
There are still those among us who well remember patrolling the ‘DUE’ Line.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_DEW_Line_Sites
There are still those among us who well remember the SAC flights to the pole.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strategic_Air_Command
There are still those among us who remember the NIKE sites surrounding our cities.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Nike_missile_sites
There are still those among us who subscribed to the challenge ‘Better Dead Than Red’.
There are still those among us who well remember being deployed to ‘West’ Germany.
Facing over 2-Million Russian and East European troops.
60-Thousand Russian Tanks.
Untold number of tactical nuclear weapons.
Facing the building of The Berlin Wall and The Iron Curtin.
And the assassination of our President.
-
The Hammer and Sickle didn’t cross the line.
Not because they couldn’t
But because the cost would have been horrendous.
Something about the MAD commitment by real Americans.

When two POTUSs Obama and Biden kowtow to a determined Russian Dictator and prior KGB like Putin, who is dedicated to reassemble the USSR, there will be No Peace in Eastern Europe or the World.
Just more aggression, intimidation, appeasement, hand-wringing and concessions.

Obama mocked Romney’s statement by saying:
“The 1980s are now calling to ask for their foreign policy back because…the Cold War’s been over for 20 years.”
