The title name Washington Redskins is used neither in an offensive nor a derogatory manner - nor a 'racist' manner for that matter. This ruling is inept for any sensible person. It is the sort of politicized, PC thing that gives the law a bad name. And shame on you, Amanda. Get a life.
P.S. I have Native American blood in me too, Amanda (& others on this thread). Stop giving us a bad name, with your oh-so-precious hurt feelings - as long as you can make a buck from it. (Pun intended.)

In the latter reference, I was referring to the phenomenon of people like Jesse Jackson Jr. and Al Sharpton trying to con money out of Whitey as bleeding-heart 'reparations' for past sins against the blacks; trying to 'capitalize' on the same thing that the Jews used against the German government - read people - to make a dishonest bundle. It is an abhorrent [not to say immoral] practice, not to be encouraged. Innocent people should not be penalized for the sins of their fathers. Take responsibility for yourself [i.e., your own actions] in life is a good motto. Stop with the attempted laying of guilt trips on others. In sum: Grow up, and move on.

I should perhaps put a Disclaimer note in here: I am still smarting from - feeling abused; a peripheral victim of - the PC crowd (really, just left-wing people who want the state to have a lot of power over people, to make them behave the way they want them to behave; not as free-willed human beings, which the American psyche and form of government has traditionally championed) having forced the Stanford University authorities to change the name of the school's sports teams, which resulted in their being renamed from the Stanford Indians to the Stanford Cardinals.
And I suppose the Cleveland Indians and the Atlanta Braves are next for the whitewash job, as it were…A pox on you hypocrites. You know why you're doing this; and seducing innocent others into your Grand Scheme. It's all about People Control. An authoritarian streak, in the psyches of some humans, who don't want people to be free, and hate that trait in America and Americans.
To such authoritarian-minded people, I say: Go live in either a fascist country or a socialist country, whichever statist bent you prefer. But get the hell out of MY country - and especially, running it.
P.S. As for how much 'Indian blood' I have, to 'qualify' for a comment on the matter: My mom once told me, when we were having a genealogy topic in school, that her grandmother looked like a full-blooded Indian. (Hired help on the farms in the mid- and northwest states, presumably.) On her part, my (round-faced) mother always had her (coal black) hair very long (sit-onable), and braided around in a loop at the top of her head.
And was a staunch, free-willed individual, who made her own way in life, would never be caught accepting handouts from anybody. No oh-poor-me, dependent-mentality there. Pride all the way through to her bones.
Part of me is just waiting to see if the bleeding-heart contingent take me to task for my comments on that thread. I can hardly wait to say to them, in response: 'Well, boo-effing-hoo.'
It may be apparent by now that I do not suffer fools - and the fooled - gladly.

P.P.S. Interestingly enough, no sooner did I go back to my emails from this blog entry when I came across an email to me, from a site called 'Right & Free,' that was headed: 'Vote: Should conservative surrender our college campuses?' with the following message:

It's self-explanatory. And a good indication as to how we have gotten so far off track from our nation's founding values.
It's freedom or slavery - standing tall or on your knees; essential liberty or 'equality'. Take your pick.

Dear Friend,
It's no secret that the same college campus liberals who helped reelect Barack Obama also attempt to indoctrinate our students in radical leftist politics. Our college campuses areteeming with leftist abuses and bias.
 What's not so clear is whether grassroots conservatives are prepared to confront these radicals and take back our nation's universities.
Please vote in our "Should conservatives fight back on our college campuses?" national poll right away.
My name is Morton Blackwell. I am the President of the Leadership Institute, the nation's foremost conservative grassroots training organization. And in order to respond I have to know if grassroots conservatives like you believe you and I should continue to stand up to these left-wing extremists.
These radicals are entrenched at America's universities. They have tenure. They have scores of allies in the media and at academic institutions all over the world.
Standing up to these determined ideologues is tough.
However, these "professors" radicalize their impressionable students at an alarming rate. They hate America and try to turn out yet another generation of American graduates who don't understand why our country is so unique and our freedom so precious.
For over a generation I've been training young conservatives how to organize conservative students, start conservative newspapers, bring conservative-thinking speakers to campus, and stand up to the politically-correct bullies that dominate our universities.
But it's tough work. And I'm not sure ordinary grassroots conservatives are up for this fight.
That's why I started this national poll. In order to proceed I have to know where good people like you stand.
Should conservatives continue to fight?
Across America, the liberals use our universities as training camps for the next generation of leftist agitators.
Left-wing speakers spew hateful rhetoric about America and conservative leaders.
Students spend time under liberal indoctrination – like University of Minnesota's Un-Fair Campaign that stated any success a white person has comes from "white privilege" and inherent racism – instead of learning the useful skills that allow them to be productive and prosperous members of our society.
Should you and I stand by and allow this dangerous agenda to continue? Or should we fight back and provide conservative student's with the training they need to stand up to the liberal indoctrination and bullying?
Should you and I stand up to the liberals on their on their own turf, or retreat and simply hope for the best?
I know where I stand. I've trained young conservatives in how to win for over a generation.
But I want your input, too.
Cordially,
Morton C. Blackwell
President Leadership Institute |

Student Discovers School Filtering Out Conservative Web Results, Leaving Liberal Sites Untouched
After a Connecticut high school student was given an assignment to discuss the merits of gun control, he learned that it was going to be difficult to get both sides of the argument while on campus. That’s because his school restricted access to conservative information outlets, according to student Andrew Lampart.
Lampart told reporters that he started doing research for a gun-related assignment in his Nonnewaug High School “Law and You” class only to find that the National Rifle Association,The Blaze, the Connecticut GOP website, the website for a Sarah Palin PAC, Town Hall ,RedState and other conservative portals of information were blocked by his school’s SonicWALL firewall.
“I used my study hall to research gun control facts and statistics. That is when I noticed that most of the pro-second amendment websites were blocked, while the sites that were in favor of gun control generally were not,” Lampart told Campus Reform.
That’s right, Moms Demand Action, Planned Parenthood, Hillary Clinton’s website, the Center for American Progress website, the Connecticut Democratic Party’s website and other left-leaning information outlets were left unblocked.
“They’re trying to, in my opinion, shelter us from what’s actually going on around the country and around the world by blocking these web sites. It should be the other way around. The web sites should be unblocked so that students can get different viewpoints from different sides of each argument,” Lampart told FoxCT.
Lampart said that he notified his school district’s superintendent of the problem but nothing was done. On Monday, he took his concerns to the local school board.
Meanwhile, Campus Reform offers some insight about who might be behind the inappropriate censorship:
In an email to Campus Reform, Paul Ciotti, Director of Network Operations and Technology for Connecticut Region 14 schools said “[i]t is not uncommon for websites to be improperly categorized, resulting in a blocked website that should be accessible or unblocked website that should be blocked.”“However, SonicWall’s Content Filtering Service allows administrators as well as end users the ability to request that a website be re-categorized to a more suitable group,” Ciotti said.
It’s unclear whether Lampart’s high school plans to address the problem.
Of course, this leaves us with one burning question: How many other schools throughout the Nation have a similarly indoctrinating web-filtering strategy?
