"I believe the Federal government has grown out of control, threatening the Rights, Liberties, and Property of the People," Thomas' statement read. "This is being done at the Executive, Legislative, and Judicial level. This is in direct opposition to the Constitution and the Founding Fathers vision for the Federal government."

"Because I believe this," the statement continued, "today I exercised my right as a Free Citizen, and did not visit the White House. This was not about politics or party, as in my opinion both parties are responsible for the situation we are in as a country. This was about a choice I had to make as an INDIVIDUAL."

Guy pretty much won the Bruins the cup, and is one of the elite goaltenders in the league. Ballsy decision, but I can respect it.

Indeed. It is also his right to decline such an honour. Did he not explain his reasoning well enough for you? Or do you fall on your knees regardless of who is offering such honour?

Bonk would probably be one of the people that would frame a Kleenex that Justin Bieber blew his nose with.

Guy is a fucking idiot. I guess making a couple of million a year to play a game makes him an expert on politics.

Every Outposter thinks they are political experts. Every Outposter is a fucking idiot. Where this goalie pulls away is the couple million a year and 3 extra testicles.

I'd go. It's the White House. It's the President. Even if you think you're cool like that, you should go. Guy's a dickhead, but he's free to make that choice.
