The NFL played into the 45th President’s plan
Randy Deabay, Candidate for State Senator in SC.
My Response To The Presidential Diatribe
I see that today after the dust has settled, the only person winning in the NFL stand or kneel is a controversy, is Donald Trump. As two-thirds of America have already been aware of and have seen time after time the 45th President has successfully caused more division and diverted our attention from the news: His ideas of a more stringent and new travel ban, the dire situation unfolding with Americans in Puerto Rico, while Texas, Florida, and the US Virgin Islands are still repairing from earlier natural disasters, the Russia investigation, health care for elderly, the poor, and the pre-existent conditions patients, the economy which cannot support annual increases for employees that reflect the inflation index.
The Question is would I stand? My response is a resounding Yes, but patriotism isn’t forced. That’s what militaristic states do, very reminiscent of WWII rogue nations and communist countries of today and we must remember that the Supreme Court has already decided Americans cannot be forced to stand for the Pledge of Allegiance. No single military action that America has been involved in was to cause the standing and pledging allegiance to the flag, it must come from one’s heart and true patriotism. One can lose respect for an entity that does not portray patriotism, and may even decide to stop contributing to the success of that entity, but they fall into the trap of supporting Donald Trump, Socialistic oppressive doctrine, and the Communistic death traps of going against the government without the ability to provide open, public discourse of disagreement.
I do not believe that the NFL needs to continue down the path of more showmanship of togetherness, other than to play hard, show their actual patriotism, and then stand all together as the NFL, and give a well-placed, strong corrective speech to an out of control President. I believe people who enjoy the NFL continue to do so, and recognize this as a created episode by the President, and finally I believe the President needs a controller who will get him back on track to creating a unified, prosperous United States, not this created hate-filled entity where every turn one makes there is division. Donald Trump is creating division between the races, financial status, religion, level of patriotism, political party affiliation, male vs female, and none of this works towards making America great, but it does replicate the downfall of Rome.
“The following is a description of the major benefactors to the ruin of Rome. Other fundamental problems contributed to the fall. In the economically ailing west, a decrease in agricultural production led to higher food prices. The western half of the empire had a large trade deficit with the eastern half. The west purchased luxury goods from the east but had nothing to offer in exchange. To make up for the lack of money, the government began producing more coins with less silver content. This led to inflation. Finally, piracy and attacks from Germanic tribes disrupted the flow of trade, especially in the west.
There were political and military difficulties, as well. It didn’t help matters that political amateurs were in control of Rome in the years leading up to its fall. Army generals dominated the emperorship, and corruption was rampant. Over time, the military was transformed into a mercenary army with no real loyalty to Rome. As money grew tight, the government hired the cheaper and less reliable Germanic soldiers to fight in Roman armies. By the end, these armies were defending Rome against their fellow Germanic tribesmen. Under these circumstances, the sack of Rome came as no surprise.”
Today I call for all America stands in defiance of any form of hatred, disagreement, unpatriotic gestures, and naïveté, and bring America together as 1 voice to state, We are 1 and we live as 1 under the greatest nation the world has ever seen, and we apologize to all who we have lost our way with. Bring the love of neighbor, and the American Dream back to South Carolina, The South, and all of America. God Bless South Carolina and the Great United States Of America.
