So is it because of ARMISTICE Day ... or merely a general embrace of jingoistic nationalism? The latter puts you in that former Trotskyite column that has swept much of the Republican/Conservative group.
Americans have been thoroughly conditioned toward what they were purportedly 'fighting' for the past almost Century. It 'hurts' for them to see/admit.
The Churches are BIG graven image/idol worshippers in this regard.

"Against individualism, the Fascist conception is for the State; and it is for the individual in so far as he coincides with the State, which is the conscience and universal will of man in his historical existence. It is opposed to classical Liberalism." --Mussolini

I almost posted one of my "Moonbat" pictures here, but thought better of it. Am I the only one that was offended by this column by Delorenzio? I mean, it's not the first time that MJ has posted some ridiculous asinine comment from a far left extremist parading around as a "Libertarian"; but just the whole concept of this one today is so out of line and offensive, I was just curious if I am the only one that sees this.....--

- Why Football Has Become So Militarized
- Thomas DiLorenzo
- Have you ever wondered why it is that it is impossible to watch an NFL football game, and many college football games, without witnessing tens of thousands of people jumping up out of their seats at lightning speed to sing an anthem to statism; looking at a gigantic American flag that covers the entire football field; seeing fighter jets flying over the stadium; scores of old, dumpy-looking guys in camouflage walking around playing army and carrying flags; etc., etc. The reason for all of this fascist-style militarism, as these BBC video documentaries explain, is that the U.S. government aspires to imitate the regimes of Hitler, Mussolini, and Franco in terms of how they used sports to glorify the state and statism. (You might also be interested in a book entitled Football and Fascism by Simon Martin).
