And if not. . . die.

Or sit in Canada with their single-payer health care and pretend you're not a socialist.


It is a myth that our system covers everything. It is universal and is paid for from our higher taxes but there are lots of procedures and surgeries that are not covered for a variety of reasons. Care of a disabled dependent is not covered and is usually picked up by a relative. Since there is no other payers for basic healthcare, there isn't much in the private sector insurance segment to cover this either.


But you are correct. The Canadian government has adopted several socialist polices over the years. Some have worked well, others not no much.

I have Blue Cross to help cover Provincial shortfalls in dealing with MS.

Copy/paste (not politically correct but has to be said)

The knee's not the problem . . .

Children raised in fatherless homes, especially black children, are far more
likely than children raised in two parent homes to engage in criminal
behavior and thus, have contact with police.
Ergo when they father a child with a woman to whom they are not married - or at least living with -they
are contributing to the problem against which these football players are
taking a knee.

If you look at many of these players' records on out-of-wedlock children,
you find that they are contributing significantly to the problem against
which they are protesting.

For example, Antonio Cromartie has 12 children by 9 different women.
Apparently the NFL had to shell out $500,000 before he could even play
football for them. Travis Henry has 11 children by 10 women, Willis McGahee
has 9 children by 8 women, Derrick Thomas has 7 children by 5 different
women, Bennie Blades has 6 children by 6 women, Ray Lewis has 6 children by
4 women and Marshall Faulk has 6 children by 3 women.

They forgot to include Adrian Peterson. 11 kids from 7 different women?

Before these guys take a knee they should take a good look in the mirror.
It appears that their problem is not the knee. Its the weenee.



Jesse Lee Peterson SAVAGE Moments! Part 16

One of the hundred funniest people on earth, agrees with you acessment and so does he. However nature does tend to reward motivated weenies. But it seems American football could enjoy an uptick of quarterbacks. Yer objecting to the cultivation of elite/chosen naturally tugs at my, no it dosen,t Dentists, Fizzisists and gealogists/mechanics/conspiracy students. Wild oats. What if scientists had the same perks? Or, heaven forbid, nice guys. These womens wuz not raped and can all read. However dads do count out to # one, they,re important. Watch some Pastor Jessie, the mans a genius, his comedy tends to support that I guess. Have a good day sir. Thank you for your patients

So, basically what Durry is saying is that Black's shouldn't take a knee. Because he's black and black men like to get it on, except maybe...they don't like to hang around when responsibility comes knocking, so that when they take a knee they should remember that, and put all other protest out of their mind because they disqualified themselves because their black and we all know that black dudes love getting it on?


Durry, are you ****ed in the head?

This is why one should stand for the national anthem.

footage. REAL - WW2 Burial at sea, ( plane and all ) !


This is a VERY touching video, actually a piece of film that has been made into a video, this is one that is NOT photo shopped, it's the real scene!

Notice in the opening shot you'll see the gunner's position is all shot to hell while the pilot's cockpit ahead of it is undamaged.

Later on notice the corpsman taking a fingerprint of the deceased gunner, before the film continues, then showing the chaplain saying the final prayers, followed by taps, then the sailors push the aircraft and our patriotic airman over the side and watch it sink into the distance sea. Here's one for a serious conversation with your kids. THIS WAS REAL!

This is what 18 year old "kids" were doing in 1944.
No safe spaces, no hurtful unthinkable remarks that they couldn't cope with, just dying for their country so the ungrateful, uninformed snowflakes of today could act like fools decades later..............

This 2 minute video is pretty moving.

"What actually made this country great is ordinary guys like this doing extraordinary things."

What God giveth, Trump taketh away?

The White House sends out a newsletter, “1600 daily”, each day to subscribers about what’s new in the marvelous world inhabited by Donald J. Trump. On July 25 it reported about the president’s talk before the Veterans of Foreign Wars national convention in Missouri: “We don’t apologize for America anymore. We stand up for America. And we stand up for our National Anthem,” the President said to “a thundering ovation”.

At the same time, the newsletter informed us that the State Department is bringing together religious leaders and others for the first-ever Ministerial to Advance Religious Freedom. “The goal is simple,” we are told, “to promote the God-given human right to believe what you choose.”

Aha! I see. But what about those who believe that standing for the National Anthem implies support for America’s racism or police brutality? Is it not a God-given human right to believe such a thing and “take a knee” in protest?

Or is it the devil that puts such evil ideas into our heads?

If you aren't taking a knee against police abuse then really what was all that sacrifice for?
