“The unprecedented action of the treacherous tyrant Barack Obama will not stand.”

It will stand tall until someone with political power does something about it.

There is no rule of law in America anymore.

That is what USED TO separate the USA from fascist crapholes.

Even a POS like David Koresh deserved to stand trial for his crimes, not be executed on the spot by the ATFBI.

(I still do not believe the Davidians violated gun laws. Koresh thought he was Jesus Christ and was marrying/banging 14 year olds.)

I also saluted the flag with the outstretched hand but it was palm up,not palm down.

Slightly different.

No, they cannot. They can still be sued for infringement. Registration doesn’t create a trademark. The team still has its common law rights in its mark(s). Do not start selling Redskins shirts. Harry Reid doesn’t know the law.

Uncool. Unelected bureaucrats should not have this power.

You just know the order came from the top.

How is this legal? Oh wait, we’re talking about Obama’s Amerika, where laws are really just suggestions that are randomly enforced.

Now since this Pandora’s Box has been opened as a warfare tactic, does the GOP have the balls and brains to retort against “them” using “their” tactics?

I think we know the answer to that...

Barack Obama’s name offends me, it evokes images of what?, socialists, bigamists, scumbags. He should change it. Oh yeah, he already did. Several times. Social security number too.

Completely ridiculous. Even most Native Americans don’t care about this, just the perpetually offended leftists with too much time on their hands.

There is a nearly all Navajo HS school in Arizona that uses the name “Redskins”, the kids like it.
