B-Man Posted May 22, 2014 Share Posted May 22, 2014 So many blunts to smoke, so little time. It is common courtesy and traditionally expected. Failure to do so is disrespectful in the extreme. Traditionally respected. B.S. DCTom is correct. . . . . . . .you go if you wish to, you don't if you choose not to. The President is not royalty. .

FLFan Posted May 22, 2014 Share Posted May 22, 2014 I am no fan of Rush Limbaugh, and I have no hate for the man. I simply don't respect him, his beliefs or the people who blindly follow. I respect the Presidency and my country, both of which have been weakened while he has been at the helm. Your vitriol is disgusting, the ability to publicly state disrespect for authority is what makes us all unique as Americans. My disrespect is not hate inspired, simply derived from fundamental differences in the way in which my president and I view our world. Sorry for the Rush Limbaugh stereotype. That was uncalled for. As for the rest of my comments, they stand as is. I have lived through many presidents, and I can that I have profoundly disagreed with all of them on some or even all of their policies. The right to disagree and publicly so is fundamental to our system, but disagree and disrespect are two different things. Sorry if you do not see the difference it makes.

And, I agree that the office of the Presidency always deserves respect, but there is a difference between the man in the office and the office itself. I both disagree with and lack respect for the man, however I respect the office he holds more than him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

keepthefaith Posted May 23, 2014 Share Posted May 23, 2014 Please, save your Rush Limbaugh inspired hatred for a different forum. That man is 10x the man you will ever be, regardless of political beliefs. He is the President of the United States of America. If you cannot respect that then there is something wrong with you. Disagree. Respect works both ways. Our President deserved respect upon his election and for a period of time, but IMO he has not been respectful himself to whom he serves and has forfeited that respect.

shrader Posted May 23, 2014 Share Posted May 23, 2014 The best part about the whole Thomas thing was that he was the only American born player on the active roster for the Bruins during that playoff run (and possibly one American reserve up from the AHL). So a bunch of Canadians, a Slovak, a Czech, and a Finn visited the president that day. That couldn't have thrilled Jacobs too much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tiberius Posted May 23, 2014 Share Posted May 23, 2014 His right not to go, I'm still a little pissed that a bunch of liberals who aren't even hockey fans ran Tim Thomas out of Boston for having the gall to not attend because he disagreed with his policies. Drop kick Flutie?? Whatever. I am Liberal and was kind of happy to see Thomas do what he did. I was irked more athletes didn't do it with Bush, but since most are really wealthy I guess that won't happen much with Republican Presidents Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dante Posted May 23, 2014 Share Posted May 23, 2014 Tim Thomas can suck an egg and Lynch can suck it after Thomas is done with it! You might not like the policies or a certain President but the Country ( in this case U.S. ) that they live in grants the freedom to earn millions of dollars playing a sport in a free country! Sorry to be the one to break this to you but this country is not about freedom and individual liberty anymore. Ceased to be a constitutional republic a long time ago. Haven't you heard? It's all about the collective. You know, shared misery with no one better than anyone else. It's all about centralized authoritarian rule. Ask Barry about his pen and phone.

3rdnlng Posted May 23, 2014 Share Posted May 23, 2014 Marshawn had every right in the world to stay away. We all have every right in the world to disrespect the man without disrespecting the presidency. Obama took an oath to uphold the Constitution but has blatantly usurped it. Obama has deliberately divided this country for political reasons. His time in office has seen the most corruption based on his partisanship and the least competency in my lifetime. We can't be trusted by our allies nor respected by our enemies. He blames everyone and everything but himself for his failures. He lies all the time. He's lazy and spends the taxpayer's money excessively on vacations, golf trips and luxuries. Those are a few of my reasons for disrespecting the man.

Chef Jim Posted May 23, 2014 Share Posted May 23, 2014 Personally he's a dumbass. It's not about him, it's not about Obama it's about the Seattle Seahawks...the team. But you guys continue debating it as if it were. Do I like what Obama's done/doing? I think you all know the answer to that. But if I'm on a team and that team is invited to the WH I go because I'm part of the team. Stupid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bite the bullet and go pretend you're having a good time like the well paid representative of the seahawks you are. And try not to run over anyone at the wh.
