Bruins Goalie Who Snubbed White House Invite Hits Obama Again, Says He “Supports Catholics Fight For Religious Freedom,” Quotes Nazi-Era “First They Came” Poem…
This should rile up the local libs.
(Politico) — Boston Bruins goalie Tim Thomas may be taking a liking to this whole politics thing.
The Stanley Cup MVP, who snubbed President Obama last month and said it had “nothing to do with politics or party,” took to his Facebook page today to weigh in on the president’s decision to require employers, including religiously affiliated ones, to purchase insurance that covers birth control.
“I stand with Catholics in the fight for Religious Freedom,” he wrote. Thomas then went on to quote the famous poem, “First they came…” about the failure to speak up during the rise of Nazi Germany.
Thomas’s decision not to visit the White House with the rest of his team made big headlines. At the time, he said he chose not to go because he believes “the Federal government has grown out of control, threatening the Rights, Liberty, and Property of the People…This was not about politics or party, as in my opinion both parties are responsible for the situation we are in as a country.”
Here’s what he wrote on Facebook:
“I Stand with the Catholics in the fight for Religious Freedom,” Thomas wrote, followed by a quote from Martin Niemoller.
“In Germany they came first for the Communists, and I didn’t speak up because I wasn’t a Communist,” Niemoller’s quote begins. “Then they came for the Jews, and I didn’t speak up because I wasn’t a Jew. Then they came for the trade unionists, and I didn’t speak up because I wasn’t a trade unionist. Then they came for the Catholics, and I didn’t speak up because I was a Protestant. Then they came for me, and by that time no one was left to speak up.”

we might argue in house, so to speak,
but I stand with my Catholic bros & sisters
all day__ every day__ all day long.
.
Perfect.
I haven’t been this amped up about hockey since the Bobby Orr days.
Can we send Tim into a group of liberal protestors and watch him flick off his gloves and go all apeshit with rapidfire roundhouses?
Thomas/Tebow 2016
I like hockey!
Tim is my personal MVP, for taking a stand against tyranny at the highest level!
Too bad it didn’t rub off on some of his team mates!
He shoots! He scores!
wow. a real American.
USA! USA! USA! like we used to chant.
This is gonna be good.
*Plugs in the popcorn popper*
We need more public figures sports or otherwise who speak up against the policies of the regime and are capable of having media access. But most of all we people of his courage who cares more about what he truly believes and willing to state it publicly than hide in the shadows like sheep.
Not a Bruins fan, but I like this guy! Someone with a pair of stones.
This is how it starts. Citizens putting it on the line, inspiring others.
What courage he has to speak up forcefully against the powerful 0-hole regime.
We can mobilize against this evil worthless traitor who conned his way into power.
Citizens United Against Tyranny. We out number these commie bastards.
We can crush them.
How long before the libtards up there start to raise a stink and he’s traded. We’ll take him in Dallas anyday…
I want to puck him…
There are so few occasions to be proud to be an American anymore. Thank you Mr. Thomas for a rare event.
a few more top-grade athletes speaking out and we may be able to get the word out to the ones who can tell you more about american idol then who the governor of their state is. won’t be any american idol when the marxists take over. one tv channel, all omama all the time.
No shit we’ll take him in Dallas.
Tim Thomas, you have BIG BRASS ONES.
You are a HERO.
Give ‘em hell. Hooah!
that poem was written by a devout Communist..
Tim,
I’m with you and Catholics everywhere.
This monster will not rule after Jan 2013.
We must fight to bring his machine to a halt between now and then.
I’m proud to be associated with you brother.
obama is lower than hitler
I hope he dont get black listed by Obamas loyal goons
The Liberal War on the Constitution and Religion
The battle launched by Barack Hussein Obama’s administration’s insistence that Catholic institutions violate their collective consciences and church law on artificial birth control has less to do with contraception than with liberal disdain for America’s Constitution.
The ongoing uproar over contraception simply reinforces the disdain shown when our alleged “constitutional scholar” president arrogantly complained to Matt Lauer that Congress was impeding his insatiable lust for power and autocratic rule by performing checks and balances on the executive branch and by his earlier declaration that he would, unconstitutionally, bypass the legislative branch to accomplish his goals.
The president was recently joined by an Associate Justice of the Supreme Court in his public contempt for the US Constitution.
Arch-liberal Ruth Bader Ginsburg appeared on Egyptian television, praised other national constitutions, but said of ours, “I would not look to the U.S. Constitution if I were drafting a constitution in the year 2012.” As a member of SCOTUS, Ginsburg is charged with interpreting that 225 year old document yet doesn’t consider it worthy of emulation.
As a reminder to the constitutional scholar . . .

Tim Thomas,
Tim Tebow,
Next?
There is a strong possibility if Obama wins in November he’ll be able to place 2 more in scotus and there goes the 2nd amendment. America, the sleeping giant, is awakening and its doesn’t bode well for the commies….
Not afraid!
Why do we tell liberal celebs to shut their whore mouths whenever they opine about something political, but we give conservatives a pass. It’s not that I don’t agree with Mr. Thomas (full disclosure: Penguins fan), I do. I feel if Timmy wants to hang up the skates (and his over sized pads) and throw his helmet into the ring I would support him. Until then, though, he is just another person that has a bunch of fans and opinions (just like me or you, but without the fans). He’s Scarlett Johanson without the tits. She, at least, has the will to do something about supporting her opinions, other than facebooking and twitting.
Until TT decides to make the jump into politics, he is just another famous blowhard on a platform. The platform doesn’t make him bigger than anyone, just more able to be heard.
If this was going to cost Kid Kenya a lot of votes he wouldn’t be doing it.
@ivefle He was “invited” to the white house and when he refused the whole
MSM circus started up, he did not enter the ring, it was dropped on him.
Whenever I see Obuzzard, I see Mussolini. I don’t know why. Maybe it’s the smug look on his face or his attitude. All I hope for is that he meets the same fate so we have a picture of him swinging to America the Beautiful in the future.
He’s getting hammered on his FB page by people that just don’t get it. Here’s the addy to his FB page ~ we should “Like” his page and leave supportive comments!

Simple===Patriot. Go Tim.
Read the comments on the Politico article and see what kind of Marxist whack jobs hang around there.
I am so sick of these people, and the way the society is going, with near majority being on the dole already, we WILL lose.
We need a divorce. Meaning, we need two Americas: one progressive for these morons to set up their utopia in, and one for the rest of us.
God knows, I rile against these traitors all the time on my blog (which you can see if you click on my name). I wonder when will Google ban me?
I see we have at least one brainless troll here running his liberal yap…
Anyway thank you Tim we need thousands more like you..
Thanks for the link, Michelle. Just liked him on Facebook
Thank-you, Mr. Thomas, for acting on the courage of your convictions. You are a most valuable person!
Thank you Tim Thomas. We need more people to stand up for the America we love. The America that stands for Freedom of Religion. Not the America that protects all religions EXCEPT the Catholic religion. Catholics are pretty quiet most of the time. That’s why get targeted. Thank you for speaking up.
