American born Tim Thomas goaltender for the Stanley Cup champion Boston Bruins and just the 2nd American to win the Conn Smythe.. did not attend a ceremony at the White House to honor the Bruins for their Stanley Cup win last June,,,
He said he was exercising his right as a Free Citizen not to visit the White House... [the rumor is he didn't want Obama's KOD on his chances to win a third Vezina Trophy ]
Nice to see someone in sports, who will not be used as a prop and photo-op ........

I read his " press " release .......claims his freedoms and liberties are in jeopardy under our current gov't
Yes you heard it right..............the guy who makes 7 million dollars a year playing a sport , on a team where he is the only American, claims our freedom are under attack.
Awesome stuff indeed.

Not sure what's funny about any of that.
Tim Thomas is a stand up guy, using his status to make a point.
Hats off to the man for giving a shit, while representing an increasing number of Americans, in speaking out against the current government.

Tim Thomas wears the motto “In God We Trust” on the front of his face mask. On the back, a tribute to the Gadsden flag, the" Don't Tread on Me" rattlesnake symbol of American independence and freedom.
TT is a true Tea Party patriot !!!

and you never critised past presidents for doing it, just the Dem one
And if this was not political as he has claimed, then why did he disrespect the office. A true "patriot" would respect the office, not necessarily the man in the office

Thomas Jefferson did not like King George ( see my avatar ) and did not respect him.... like all true patriots, he was against the King...and over powering out of control Government ...
Tim said he feels the same way and believes the Federal government has grown out of control, threatening the Rights, Liberties, and Property of the People...and that it is being done at the Executive, Legislative, and Judicial level... he say's it's not about politics or party, as in his opinion both parties are responsible for the situation we are in as a country....
So as an individual he chose not to attend a Government sponsored function .. ..we still have that freedom to do so don't we ?... The original founding patriots.. gave us the liberty to make a choice...
The Obama has gone 1000 days without a budget...if this President can not fulfill his statutory requirement to present a budget on time...and Congress will not hold him in check than I agree with TT ..if Obama and Congress R/D will not respect the Amercan people, and spend like no tommorow ,than they do not deserve respect for the office they hold...
...and as Newts new slogan implies we need to "Restore the America we love " and reject the one that Obama is trying to fundamentally change...

unlike many other professionals in the arts (movies music etc) who gladly tell their customers to bend over and take it from Big Brother while they fly on private airplanes? no thanks
his salary is irrelevant. Bruce Springsteen grosses Thomas' yearly salary from one concert at Giants stadium in NJ and yet he's a big fat progressive who lectures the audience from the stage who fights for the working man unless that working man wants to see the boss in concert, then he needs to fork over $250+ just to get inside the building

Guys like Thomas and those who agree with him really should spend times in parts of the world were freedoms and liberties are virtually non existant. Then and only then would they not be so quick with this kind of idiotic language. Teach them to respect and appreciate what they and their fellow Ameircans have.
A true patriot respects the office of the president and attends such and event out of repsect for his / her country no matter what.

I hate to use the Hitler/Nazi Germany because it gets used to death, but there were rich people in Nazi Germany.
Hitler never passed laws that legalized indefinite detention, and arbitrary assassination. Those things were done outside of Germany's law structure. Hitler never had the audacity to do those things.
Part of the reason that we have such a great country is because of men and women like Thomas, don't get it twisted. It is the moral fiber of this country that keeps the whole thing from unraveling.
I am so sick of people say things like go live so and so.... or we have it much better than so and so.....
Grow a fucking clue and realize why we have this country, and why it is so great. It is not because we are weak subservient sycophant boot lickers.
A true patriot does what he or she believes is right. Obama, Bush I and II, and Clinton are all criminals who deserve a jail cell more than any ceremony.
