And gets turned away for a dress violation?
The best part?
He was there to honor his ninety year old grand father who just happened to be the last BLACK MEDAL OF HONOR winner. I don't care what color anyone is, if you get the MEDAL OF HONOR, you are a national treasure and thank you very much for your service.
What pisses me off is some cock sucker denied a citizen of this country , OUR FUCKING COUNTRY, access to OUR FUCKING WHITE HOUSE, the single most vivid example of what our country is supposed to be about, FREEDOM, access because of a some fucking dress code?
ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME?!!
Let me say that again, ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME?!!
The kid was wearing a T shirt and shorts.
Somebody needs to be fired yesterday.
While I pick my jaw up off the fucking floor, let me remind you sonsabitches that this is OUR FUCKING WHITEHOUSE and OUR FUCKING GOVERNMENT!!!!!!!!!
I cannot for the life of me believe that their is some stupid fucking asshole so mother fucking stupid in our employ that would deny a citizen of this country access to our own home, let alone some ten year old kid who was there to honor his Grand fathers ceremony for being a MEDAL OF HONOR RECIPIENT!!
I don't give a RAT FUCKING ASS if you have tight pink nylons on and your ass hanging out, that is OUR fucking house, who ever is in it is a fucking transient and DO NOT!!! tell me how I can or can't dress when I come there, you dirty mother fuckers.
I have actually been to the White House, they didn't give a shit how I looked, as it should be.
I am so pissed off about this I can hardly see to type.
A ten year old kid.
There to honor his Grand father.
A Medal of Honor recipient.
Gets turned away from our house.
Let me repeat this again, A ten year old child got turned away from our house .
I am ashamed.
Because he wasn't wearing a suit and tie?
Hey, neither did I and I got in.
This is an outrage.
I am dumbfounded that someone even let this happen.
I am ashamed of this, personally.
My thanks to you, Mr. Vernon Baker.
My apologies to your family for being treated like shit by the same damn country you did so much for.
God Damn, this just pisses me off beyond words.It makes me want to strangle some dumb fucking asshole.
Rest in Peace America.
Thank You to all our veterans, current and past.
Let us never forget;
Not like the brazen giant of Greek fame,
With conquering limbs astride from land to land;
Here at our sea-washed, sunset gates shall stand
A mighty woman with a torch, whose flame
Is the imprisoned lightning, and her name
Mother of Exiles. From her beacon-hand
Glows world-wide welcome; her mild eyes command
The air-bridged harbor that twin cities frame.
"Keep ancient lands, your storied pomp!" cries she
With silent lips. "Give me your tired, your poor,
Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,
The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.
Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me,
I lift my lamp beside the golden door!"
Emma Lazarus.
Inscribed at the bottom of the Statue of Liberty, Ellis Island, New York.
Where my Kin came ashore before me.
Damn you for forgetting that and damn me for letting you get away with it.

ReplyDeleteI think I told you Me and Melissa had reservations to go. We had confirmation numbers and all. About 4 or 5 days before the advent, they wrote me and canceled. No reason was really given. Something about that they overbooked. Our Reservations were made months in advance. I personally think because of my Blog we were turned down. They different offer another date.
And so I say fuck em...their loss.
Just remember...somebody's watching you...;) Oh and I might even have put a nice shirt on.
Small minds focused on tiny rules. Real lack of big picture vision at the White House gates.
ReplyDeleteMaybe the thinking at the door reflects the thinking inside?
T Shirt and shorts....for the Whitehouse, what were his parents thinking? Maybe they were BHO voters, not next time....
ReplyDeleteThose elitist pricks don't want their view sullied by us common riff raff. Heads should fucking roll over this, but most likely there will only be a quiet shuffling of personnel at best...
ReplyDeleteHi Cousin Busted,
ReplyDeleteEvery decent man is ashamed of the government he lives under.

I never thought Americans would tolerate an elected/employed royalty. An appointment and dress code to see what we're paying for? That's so fucking wrong!
Your cousin,
Dave
most excellent rant OB!
ReplyDeleteIt sux the kid couldn't get in for the event, His parents should have dressed him better but still he should have been let in.
ReplyDeleteSame Whitehouse who lets gangster rappers like jay-z in or alows moron reality T.V. shows to crash the place... How disgusting!
ReplyDeleteThis poor kid puts on a T-shirt with a picture of his grandfather and he's turned way. Just when you think you have heard it all.
For Vernon Baker...

I'd agree with "anonymous". There some traditions pampered and virtualized with staging.Like a little shows to make a memory snap on it. Thats why there all the flags and rankings initially came from. And people of modern age DO simplify everything down to simplistic and plain functionality. Cynicism had grown into society deep into bone marrow.
ReplyDeleteIf someone died for the country - pay fucking respect by following traditional set of rules.
Some orthodox churches do not allow females to walk in without head coverage - is that wrong? No fucking shit! It simply following some weird beliefs. But hey, if you have to go there - pay fucking respect to their rules. Otherwise - honor ur relative silently at home.
