DID YOU KNOW?

Those “soldier salutes” you see during an NFL game are bought and paid for by the taxpayer through the military.

The Department of Defense paid 14 NFL teams $5.4 million from 2011 to 2014 for salutes like the Hometown Heroes segment and other advertising at professional football games. All but $100,000 of that money came from the National Guard.

I didn't know this. I thought it was an honest (unbought) display of American patriotism.

It isn't. It is abuse of taxpayer dollars.

Besides, I never mentioned "odumbo." You're the one who mentioned "odumbo"!

Let's get back on topic, shall we? Trendy, when are you going to start blaming Obama?

And Trendy, while I'm thinking about it. Where is the link that MLK actually "opposed illegal immigration," as you claimed in another one of your numerous bogus threads?

Thanks for bumping my thread to the top with your inane post.

Do you work for free, whirlyturd?
