Patriotism or HYPOCRISY, what's the difference?

8/31/2016

The mediocre main stream media has been all aghast at San Francisco QB, Colin Kaepernick's snub of the national anthem. It is the top news story which is saying a lot when you have a buffoon running for president. Everyone, that is the bigots and political trolls, are screaming at Colin's lack of patriotism and his obvious hatred for America. One Uncle Tom even said he wasn't black because he was raised by white adopted parents, I suppose. But as always there very little substance to the shrills except to get headlines. They can never handle the truth.

For instance this passage from Clarence Darrow: True patriotism hates injustice in its own land more than anywhere else. Or from Secretary of State John Kerry: I saw courage both in the Vietnam War and in the struggle to stop it. I learned that patriotism includes protest, not just military service. Now, none of the great defenders of patriotism will comment on those statements and neither will they confront the hypocrisy or extortion or simply blackmail emanating from the House GOP all of whom claim to be great patriots.

You haven't heard about it of course because our great media is too busy "exposing" Trump's lies and immigration plans. But briefly, the House GOP has demanded the following in order to provide funds to fight the Zika virus: 
  1. It restricts funding for birth control provided by Planned Parenthood.
  2. It exempts pesticide spraying from the Clean Water Act.
  3. It cuts veterans’ funding by $500 million below the Senate bill.
  4. It cuts Ebola funding by $107 million.
  5. It rescinds $543 million from Obamacare.
  6. It strikes a prohibition on displaying the Confederate flag that was in a House bill.
Now keep in mind that there have been 11,293 cases of the virus diagnosed in the U.S. and 1,400 cases affecting pregnant women according to CDC estimates. Yet the House GOP, the upright patriots that they claim to be, won't fund the research unless the above are attached to the funding bill. Well, I don't know about you but I have a difficult time equating sitting during the national anthem with extortion. Extortion just does not sound like patriotism to me.
