Washington Rednecks, Name Change

Washington Rednecks, Name Change Proposal
A possible symbol for the Washington Rednecks?

Bob Costas, whose lifetime of dedication to describing grown men playing children’s games has made him holier than you and me, has deemed that the name Washington’s NFL franchise has had since 1932 to be offensive and must be changed.

“It’s an insult, a slur, no matter how benign the present day intent,” Costas huffed. “It’s fair to say that for a long time now, and certainly in 2013, no offense has been intended. But if you take a step back, isn’t it clear to see how offense might legitimately be taken?”

Actually, Bob it was never meant as insult. Not today, and not in 1932. People and institutions don’t take upon themselves labels they feel demean themselves, and it wasn’t Philadelphians that named the ‘Skins.

Names are adopted because of the characteristics associated with it. Names such as the Vikings, Celtics, Hebrews, Spartans, Trojans and all Indian tribes were picked because the were associated with tenacity and courage.

Still, Bob, since we are tolerant and progressive here we are going to support you in your crusade. And, in the name of social justice, we are going to go a step further.

We are going to demand that the name of the Washington Redskins be changed to the Washington Rednecks.

That’s right those poor white folk who have run things for far too long and who you believe to the be cause of all the nation’s problems  must get their long-overdue comeuppance. The Capital’s football team must named for them.

We look forward to joining you in this fight albeit granted that you will be likely safely in the booth doing the play by play.

Washington Rednecks, Name Change Proposal. Let us all make things right and just!

 

Obamacare Republic

Stop blaming President Obama for sabotaging the nation’s health care system. After all, the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act wasn’t all his doing. He had plenty of help from congressional Democrats.

House and Senate Democrats were instrumental in coercing their colleagues to vote for the legislation, which offended about half the voting public at the time it was enacted, and while the lawmakers may not have been aware of all the ill effects their actions would have three years later, apparently those same Democrats support the disastrous law to this day.

Whether intentionally or not, these Democrats were complicit with Obama in the many misleading statements — or outright lies — he told us about how terrific the health care reform law would be.

A stunning 17-minute YouTube video compiles the many claims the president made publicly while pitching his so-called health care reform legislation:

The president told Americans not to worry, they would be able to keep their current physicians after his massive health care system overhaul passed Congress; that insurance premiums would fall by $2,500 annually.

However, people are now finding out their premiums are rising significantly, and are unsure whether they’ll always be able to keep their doctors if forced into a new government-approved health plan.

Answer to yesterday’s puzzle: The House of Representatives cannot only refuse, but they alone can propose the supplies requisite for the support of government. They, in a word, hold the purse . . . This power over the purse may, in fact, be regarded as the most complete and effectual weapon with which any constitution can arm the immediate representatives of the people, for obtaining a redress of every grievance, and for carrying into effect every just and salutary measure.

James Madison
