The observance at Saturdays football game was no different. A moment of silence was followed by a military airplane flyover; in between, Block-I students chanted USA, USA. This was neither patriotism nor remembrance in any justifiable sense, but politicization, militarism, propaganda and bellicosity. The University is a public institution that encompasses the political views of all, not just the most (falsely) patriotic. Athletic planners should cease such exploitation for political purposes. They might at least consider how most Muslim students, American or otherwise, would respond to this nativist display; or better, Muslims and others that live their lives under the threat of our planes, drones and soldiers.
The overwhelmingly white, privileged, Block-I students should be ashamed of their obnoxious, fake-macho, chicken-hawk chant, while poverty-drafted members of their cohort fight and die in illegal and immoral wars for the control of oil. University administrators need to eliminate from all events such patriotic observances, which in this country cannot be separated from implicit justifications for state-sponsored killing.

F*****.
"Academics."
Must.
Hang.
I’m offended by the fact that my tax money goes to support that son of a b*tch.
Just another Ward Churchill wannabe.
Another brilliant, really really smart, terribly bright, intellectual genius dedicates his limitless intelligence to the internationalist point of view.
HOw wonderful, how brilliant, how smart, how insightful.
Now, maybe he can also dedicate his brilliance to explaining why Muslims think it’s o.k. to wash their feet in the sinks where non-muslims wash their hands and sometimes take a drink?
That was written by a radical, self-loathing marxist who loves the jihadis. Crazy to the core.
I heard on Fox this morning that in the UK it is illegal to wave the Union Jack because it offends the muslims.
I saw how the muslims treated the British soldiers when they returned from Afghanistan. It was disgusting.
Political correctness - diversity - tolerance - all one sided.
So...we have the diversity thing but what UNITES us?
I f...ing love this forum!!!!! Go wolfpack!!!
An obviously incorrect premise. The rest of the rant, based on this, is therefore just as false.
500 Bucks say he voted for the Dems!
Islam is offensive to me.
In fact, it is a direct threat to the rights endowed to me by my Creator.

Islam is offensive to me too!
In the spirit of cultural tolerance, however, DEATH to AMERICA is acceptable.
It won’t be long before such muslim groups will be demanding that sports events (including professional) be halted during the muslim call-to-prayer time.
It doesn't make him any less of a POS but he didn't say there was a draft. What he did was mention poverty-drafted men, implying that they had no choice but to enlist in the military because they didn't have the means to go to college like the privileged white boys at the game.
It was the skit in which he and other cast members would dress in 18th century English formal wear, complete with powdered wigs, and discuss “scandalous” literature of the period.
They'd hold their noses in the air, sip tea with their pinkies extended, read somewhat salty passages from various books, then laugh and giggle like teen-aged school girls.
The brainiac who wrote this piece would fit right in.
While muslims stone women,behead Christians and Jews,and bomb shopping malls full of innocent people;liberals prepare for their annual traditions of villifying Columbus and the Pilgrims , and waging war against Christmas trees and crucifixes......
