So few have the balls to say the simple truth: the emperor is naked. We are living through a catastrophic pandemic of cowardice.

I generally find any sort of political propoganda at sports games to be in bad taste. Gay stuff included.

Americans have long tolerated this though with loads of "we support our military" type intermissions and the like. I don't, disagree with the message being put forward, but the whole of the spectacle seems out of place at a sports game. Gives me really totalitarian vibes. You'll see the same thing in China or North Korea of course.

So it's little surprise to me following the post 9/11 trend of having gratuitous displays of public political activism in sports, going so far as to replace "take me out to the ball game" with "god bless America" it doesn't surprise me at all we see whatever is the current public display of mainstream Americana at sports games. Now the social religion of the bourgeoisie is pride. In 20 years following a religious revival, will we see the seventh inning stretch replaced with a Catholic mass? Or perhaps an Islamic call to prayer? Or maybe they'll have a 7th inning draft to send our good boys and boys pretending to not be boys out to fight the chinks over some rock in the Pacific.

I like your perspective. I bet you've ruined a bunch of family dinners with your rants. I do it as often as possible.

The one time I went to America. I was kinda chocked to see big posters of the president at the air port. It really gave me the OK so now I'm in a dictatorship or communist China vibes. You simply don't do blatant propaganda shit like that in the free world.

Armed forces is basically a combination of population control & the rich using the poor to steal from the dirt poor ;-) There was a "hilarious" declassified about what to do with all the morons in the military if there ever was world peace. Their best solution was worker camps...

They even embrace it. But even so, the next civil war is coming. The cowards and the fearful follow a man and idolize him, but he will not save them and cannot save himself. But those that defend the truth follow the Lord, who is able and willing to save all who call on his name.
