Conservatives: Redskins Ruling Another Day In 'Obama's America'

TOM KLUDT – JUNE 18, 2014, 4:07 PM EDT

The White House said the decision to cancel the Washington Redskins' trademark registrations was made by an independent tribunal, but that hasn't stopped many on the right to link the ruling to the tyrannical arm of Barack Obama they've warned about for years.

A mere hour after the United States Patent and Trademark Office announced the cancellation of six of the team's trademark registrations because "they were disparaging to Native Americans at the respective times they were registered," RedState.com editor Erick Erickson already knew who was really behind the decision.

Erickson pinned the blame on "a bunch of overeducated white guys who cry during 'Love Actually'" and "a class of men who pee sitting down" — two effete, easily aggrieved constituencies who apparently have some clout with Obama in charge.

"The lesson here is that guilty feeling white liberals are a threat to freedom and, in Barack Obama’s America, the key to survive is to not appear on the radar of in Washington, D.C," Erickson wrote. "Once Washington’s elite know of your existence and you do not behave like them, they will turn the power of government in your direction."

slamming Federal employees (bureaucrats, if you like,) who work at the United States Patent and Trademark Office!!!

I did NOT work there, but as a Federal retiree I'd like to thank 'many on the right' for helping pay my rent!

I work for the government myself...what I find ironic are those government workers who vote Teapublican!

Why would you vote for a group that wants to pay you crap wages for more work, and would gladly take away your benefits if they ever get a majority with the power to change the rules!

I'd prefer it if those government workers who vote Teapublican, would just jump into the Grand canyon!!!
