It was October 12, 1960 and I was a 10 year old boy living in Buffalo, New York...Yankee territory...but I was a Pittsburgh Pirate fan. Whitey Ford pitched a shutout that day and the Yankees thrashed the Pirates 12-0 to even the World Series at three games a piece. Oh, another thing happened that day. While the Yankees were pounding out hits, Soviet leader Nikita Khrushchev was standing and pounding his table with his shoe at the United Nations. I was busy switching channels so as not to miss either. I'm kidding here folks but even as a 10 year I knew who this Nikita Khrushchev was. I knew who Fulgencia Batista and Fidel Castro were also because we watched Walter Cronkite's The 20th Century.
Now the shoe banging incident is interesting in understanding Hillary Rodham Clinton. Let me explain: Nikita banged his shoe on his delegate-table at the U.N. and received widespread criticism for it because it was uncivilized. Years later his granddaughter Nina explained what really happened...according to Wikipedia....."Khrushchev was wearing new and tight shoes, so he took them off while sitting. He started pounding the table with his fist during his angry response (to a speaker at the platform), and his watch fell off. When he was picking it up, his discarded shoes caught his eye and he took the opportunity to pick one up and pound the desk with it." This is obviously how Hillary came up with so many excuses for throwing things while in the White House....example.....a bee was flying perilously close to her husband....the leader of the free world....thinking quickly she grabbed a vase and hurled it at the bee.....but I digress.
Mr. Khrushchev got in trouble with his words many times. Do you remember his comment "We will bury you!"? Much later he sheepishly explained that remark. He did not mean...bury....with a shovel. He was alluding to the Marxist doctrine that "the proletariat is the undertaker of capitalism." Khrushchev explained that in reality..."Your own working class will bury you."
Let's go back to October of 1960. Khrushchev made the statement that the United States would be defeated without a shot being fired. A lot has happened since then. The Soviet Union collapsed and Communism was proclaimed to be dead, but Communism is a dialectic in that it may have to outwardly change to accomplish its goals formed on the inside. It has changed outwardly out of necessity...but while it was butchering village leaders in Southeast Asia it was also butchering education in the United States. Communism won in Vietnam and the Vietnamese people lost... while Communism is triumphing in the United States, most recently through Barack Obama, while we are losing our republic.
Colin Kaepernick....You Have Been Duped (September 8th, 2009)
NFL quarterback Colin Kaepernick has determined that he will remain seated during the playing of the national anthem before games because, as he sees it, the anthem honors a country that oppresses black people and people of color. Like so many others, he has been lied to and then bought into that lie. This is the communism that few are concerned about, a communism whose near century long mission has been to destroy our American heritage in order to bring about chaos and pave the way for totalitarianism.
Black people are not oppressed as Mr. Kaepernick charged. Merriam-Webster defines 'oppress' as "to treat (a person or group of people) in a cruel or unfair way." The more accurate word would be...repressed...."kept under control by force," and this not by America but by those who despise what our flag and our anthem truly represents! This is the crime of today! Colin Kaepernick's outrage is legitimate but misunderstood and misplaced, directed at America where it should be directed at those who are trying to destroy America.
The reader might object to my statement that blacks are not oppressed in that this young man is black and I am not... shouldn't he have a better understanding of this? On most things...yes...on this issue...no! Blacks at one time were oppressed...to America's great shame. Tens of thousands of Americans died carrying our flag into heavy canister shot to rid us of slavery, and many more worked tirelessly to eliminate Jim Crow laws.
Mr. Kaepernick....Communism, Progressivism, and all of their dupes of which you are now rubbing elbows with, have repressed black communities for the better part of a century for their own nefarious gain. They lie to you and condescend to you to a despicable degree. They want you to do exactly what you have chosen to do with your actions and comments. I've been lied to also young man, most recently by the elite establishment types in the Republican Party who try to repress the opinion of anyone who does not buy into their continuous schemes that serve only to perpetuate their power. Oppression is indeed rearing its ugly head but it is directed to anyone, of any color, who refuses to cede to these usurpers all of their God-given rights and constitutional liberties.
There are hundreds of thousands of marked graves, carefully manicured in our nation, that represent sacrifice against an enemy that you just aided and abetted through your ignorance. There are thousands of unmarked makeshift graves in Europe, and on rocky beaches in the Pacific, and in the dense jungle of Vietnam and rocky terrain of Korea, and many other foreign soils, and thousands more watery graves whose sacrifices represent what you chose to dishonor.
Hey, I was about as confused as you at your age.....and not nearly as talented although old friends have reminisced on how I could throw a football in my teens. I thank God that nothing ever came of it for there are few things as pitiful, in my opinion anyway, than a grown man making millions running over the goal line with a football in front of a rapt audience that could exceed tens of millions, on the Lord's Day no less, and then pointing to heaven! At least you have an intellectual passion, grossly misdirected as it my be at this stage.
Go back to your roots young man, and I'm not referring to Africa. You have the intellect...put it to use! Recalculate your blessings and from whence they came. Consider again your own tattoos and think about adding another...."Romans 12:2"...Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect.
