Everyone should expect the country to serve the needs of the people.

Just learned that Mondale was in the locker room after the miracle on ice and called Carter so he could congratulate the winners.

Damn hypocrites. This was obviously before the socialists took over the Dems and there were still masculine men voting Democrat.

I thought "The country exists to serve the people" had to be sarcasm. Wow.

I guess I need to start saying--with my hand out -- "Ask not what I can can do for the country, but what can the country do for me"?

It's the basic cornerstone of Marxist thought. Leads to the thought process of justifiably taking from those who have earned it and giving to those who have not.

It is possible to have a diverse set of beliefs and not 100% align with any administration, and still celebrate at the White House with your team. I mean unless you are a Democrat who hates Trump.

Libs in general are just miserable people. Maybe we should allow euthanasia like the Canadians and get rid of some of these disgusting people.

LOL. What a loser. If any team tried to boycott or refuse to go to the WH when a Democrat is in office these same people would be hypocritically calling them out.

No, the country exist to allow the people to achieve their dreams (whatever that may be) as a law abiding citizen. The country should never exist to "serve the people".

It's not surprising that I might have different social/political views than a 20-something who grew up in Canada and spent his high school years in Michigan.

But he handled the spotlight beautifully at the Olympics and it appeared to be 100 percent heartfelt. So we might not see eye-to-eye on every issue but since he didn't use his position on the U.S. squad to lecture me and we share the same views on patriotism and love of country, the answer to your question is yes.

If I were to meet him tomorrow, I would not share my thoughts on pride nights and I would expect him to decline to share his. We would talk hockey and how great the US team played and what a thrill it was for American hockey fans to see our team win.

That's how Americans used to handle their business.

Do the needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few or the one. It may be logical but it isn't very human.

Also, he had the same tooth knocked out a couple years ago! They'll probably give him a flipper he can take out for games til he can get them fixed during the off-season. There are hardly any breaks coming up til playoffs.

This right here is an example of the left's major weakness...they are ALWAYS projecting and don't even realize it. They expect us to think like them. "So and so doesn't think EXACTLY like I do, so they are a heretic and we should boycott their existence or express hatred and rage".

NO...we don't expect every single athlete or celeb to share every single belief of opinion that we do, we just don't want to be lectured or talked down too. We don't want to hear their preachiness or about their "disgust" in the country they are playing for.

See how he handled this? He clebrated and exhibited patriotism and you would never know that he likes all of the Pride stuff. That's the way it should be. Sick of people rubbing stuff in our faces and distracting from the sports/entertainment component.

A truly patriotic team would excessively celebrate every goal scored while double digit dumping on Thailand. Then cancel anyone brave enough to call out such boorish behavior.

There is no if. Keith already did exactly that:

Quote:

In January 2012, Keith Olbermann strongly criticized Boston Bruins goaltender Tim Thomas for skipping the team's victory visit to the White House to meet President Barack Obama.

  • The "Worst Person" Designation: Olbermann, acting as a liberal commentator, named Tim Thomas as one of his "Worst Person in the World" on his show following the news of the snub.
  • The Reaction: Olbermann referred to Thomas as a "fool" in a tweet regarding his decision to bypass the ceremony.

The ******bag living across for me flies the American flag only when a Democrat is President. They don't really care about the country, only the Party.

What a stupid 'gotcha' question.

I don't have to agree with every individual political or social position he takes. Of course I disagree on that specific topic. I am also not Jewish like him…… I am Christian. We would disagree on theology and probably a bunch of other topics….

…..but he went and represented his country in sport with honor and without dragging politics into the sport.

If Megan Rapinoe had simply gone, represented her country, and not made a stink about politics and shaming everyone in the country who disagreed with her, I would have supported her and her team. But her and many of the USWNT in Soccer behavior was so despicable that they drove people away.

The government serves at the behest of the people is the American model.

Nope. The federal government / country exists solely to protect the rights of its citizens and their pursuit of life, liberty and happiness. The government should not be taking care of or addressing ANY, and ai mean any even the most basic needs of the people, that is why we are $37 trillion in debt! The biggest problem with the Somalian daycare scandal in Minnesotastan is not the outcry over the fraud, but the lack of outcry over why is the federal government using taxpayer $$ to fund and support daycare / childcare?!?!?!!!!!!!!!!!

Housing, medical care, child care, internet service, education, etc., NONE of those are rights and the government shouldn't be funding one penny toward any of it. By taking my tax $$ to support others in their lifestyle and choices that is a direct assault on MY liberty and pursuit of happiness by the federal government.
