NFL/Old Glory/Cotton/ County Fair Pics
Oh my.....what is this world coming too?
I do my best to not offend anyone with
my political views........
Esp. on Facebook. But the past week,
I have found
myself voicing my thoughts.
Now I am bringing it to my blog.
Hoping not to offend any of my readers
because these are just my views and
we all have our thoughts on the matter.
First let me start with the first keg of
worms I opened up on FB.
I think it would be great to have
a President that speaks his mind....
within limits!
Naming calling from a US Leader
to another leader is so childish.
Rocket Man....Really?
Shows no class what so ever!!
Next on my list is the NFL thing.
Now I don't watch football, but
when I heard what took place with
the NFL teams not going out for
the National Anthem and the raising
of the flag I was appalled. Yes being
American's they have the right to
do as they please, but they have the
right due to men like this.
Men and women have fought for
years for this country to give them
the right to not stand for the flag.
And personally I think those that
don't need their ass kicked!
Then...you have our President that
is so offended he thinks they all need to
be fired from the NFL!
Matter of fact he apparently has
nothing to do all day but
TWEET
about.
Another one I think that
needs something kicked.
Okay....so sorry if I ticked anyone
off with this post but like
my President apparently I
have no class and I want
to speak my mind.
Don't get me wrong, I am not
a Hillary fan either, personally
I think with the last election we
were scraping the bottom of the
barrel anyway.
Next on my list...
I am still seeing things about the
cotton deal and Hobby Lobby.
Not to mention the wanting to
rename buildings due to the
fact they were named after
slave owners.
Or the tearing down of statues
of men of our history.
History only keeps repeating
itself cause people
like this wish to make
a mountain out of a molehill.
Let it go and live for the day...
TODAY.
And this brings up another issue
that I have struggled for
years with.
It's Merry Christmas
not
Happy Holidays!
So I pulled some pics of
some fair shots from a few
yrs ago.
This one actually in the local
calendar for two years.
Thanks for stopping in,

A lot has been happening lately. It seems our president does not speak well in public and can not hold his tongue. I am afraid he may start a nuclear war over his crazy talk. I do not agree with the NFl players kneeling during the Anthem but I understand they want to protest. Maybe there is a better way, I do not know how? The Fair photos are fun, I missed going to our state fair this year.
I think it's asinine to kneel at the NFL games; yes peaceful protest is fine but wasn't anyone taught to honor/respect our National Anthem and our country's flag?
Okay, I feel better now. Thank you for the platform. LOL

Covering eyes.
Shutting it off!
NFL... The protest is about police killing unarmed black kids. It's an epidemic, but no one was talking about it. Now everyone is talking about the protest, but no one is talking about the why of it all.
Now, the joke in the White House has put his nose in it. And while calling the players names while saying that Charlottesville protesters were "very good people". The racism is overt.
Yes, I'm a fire-breathing liberal. Sorry to offend.
I try to avoid politics on blog and FB. Sometimes I can't. I will say that I have no problem with taking the knee. It's not disrespecting the flag or the military (where did that one start? The flag doesn't represent the military. It represents what the military fights for, as I see it.) Our soldiers fight to have free speech and if this is how it is made, it beats the heck out of violent protests like Charlottesville or even harkening back to the Vietnam days. (Watching the terrific PBS doc this week is more timely than one could imagine.) I also see why some are offended.
What offends me is that we're all spending way too much time dealing with the NFL and not nearly enough in dealing with the world, our future, our climate and our role as part of an international community. Somewhere the priorities got mixed up. It makes me sad.
