Hail To The Redskins

The fact that the world is on fire matters not to a powerful ruling class, who know they are on the verge of major gains in their attempt to turn America into a tyrannical oligarchy.  The scandals, are not really scandals, as they are a means to an end to crash the system as defined through the Cloward and Piven strategy.

You would think our President would be spending most waking moments dealing with the potential loss of Iraq, and the consequences there of.  No, he is golfing, and fundraising, and amidst all the chaos, has escalated his effort to transform America.

Case in point; the ruling yesterday by the US Patent Office, without question at the direction of President Obama, cancelling the trademarks of the Washington Redskins of the National Football League.   The Redskins, who have their own fight song, are among the most established, traditional and lucrative brands around.

Shall we back up and follow the trail, Indian style, on how this orchestrated event came to pass. Make no mistake; it is on the command of the Obama regime.

Late last fall, as reported by The New York Times, President Obama weighed in claiming "legitimate concerns over Redskins name".  TheTimes noted that in response to a letter presented by 10 congressional members that NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell wrote back saying the Redskins name was “a unifying force that stands for strength, courage, pride and respect.”

A month or so ago, 49 members of the US Senate, all Democrats, wrote the Roeger Goodell urging the league to endorse the change of the Redskins' name.  Democrat Florida Senator Bill Nelson, who as far as I know has not lifter finger to earn the release of Sgt. Andrew Tahmoorhessi, one of his constituents, from captivity in Mexico, took time to write his own letter as he was unavailable to sign with the other members.

Meanwhile, the 2014 College Football National Champion Florida State Seminoles, although having presented several dates for consideration, have been unsuccessful in the planning the traditional nation champion visit to the White House.  As an alumni of Florida State University, I am fine skipping an afternoon with Obama, but the inability for the White House to make this tradition happen, given the attack on the Redskins name, raises the eyeballs.

Last week, again with the middle east on fire, President Obama made a rare presidential visit to an Sioux Indian Reservation in South Dakota, telling those gathered his "administration is determined to partner with tribes".

Then came the bombshell announcement by the patent office, catching most everyone by surprise.

Redskin owner Daniel Snyder, who reportedly contributed to the Romney campaign in 2012, is in the cross hairs of Obama for steadfastly denying any and all request to consider changing the Redskin name.

The ruling was supposed levied due to the Redskin name being viewed as disparaging by some and considered a racial slur of Native Americans.  This is quite ridiculous, as Oklahoma means "red people" and I don't hear a peep about changing the name of the Sooner state or universities within the state.

In fact, the Redskin name came from an effort to honor their inaugural head coach, who was Native American. Opponents of the Redskin name are now calling Lone Star Dietz an "impostor", aiming, to discredit and destroy any and all traditions that get in the way of their objective.

Many sportswriters across the nation have jumped on the bandwagon, with some vowing to not use the Redskin name in their work.  This includes longtime NFL writer Peter King and The Kansas City Star newspaper.

George Diaz, of the hometown Orlando Sentinel, penned an utterly ridiculous editorial, which clearly exhibited his liberal bias.  While he find the Redskin tradition a relic of the past that needs to be buried, although I champion his right to pen it, I found his column offensive.

Forget the Redskins.

If President Obama was so inclined, perhaps buoyed by a small vocal group, perhaps financially compensated,  might he direct the patent office to cancel the trademarks of The Coca Cola Company (KO:NYSE) or the McDonalds (MCD:NYSE) corporation because the First Lady finds their product contributes to obesity?

Although a historical hoax, will President Obama, peeved by the nation continuing to buy SUV's, direct the patent office to cancel the trademarks of Ford and General Motors because they continue to make vehicles that, according to the global warming crowd, are significantly contributing to the demise of the world?

Where will one throw anchor on this slippery slope?

Obama is crashing the system in an effort to gain power over the people.  Part of the effort is, as Michelle Obama worded it in 2008,  "we're going to have to change our traditions, our history; we're going to have to move into a different place as a nation."

Will the history or traditional a powerful elitist from the ruling class want to change be one you value?

Before you join in the celebration of the government, on a whim, leveling attack on private property, you may want to think twice, for there may not be anyone around to protect the tradition you hold dear when the deem it inappropriate.

Hail to the Redskins!
