The observance at Saturday’s 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.

Just what the hell is a “university academic professional”? Maybe this liberal brain-dead moonbat is really a loser teacher’s assistant, graduate research assistant or lecturer? ...or maybe he misspoke and he really is a “universally ancephalic progressive”? I would really like to see a picture of this cretin who hates America and Americans.
Obviously an example of what happens when you believe your own lies.
Notice he used the words “poverty drafted” -
as in, they had no other way to make a living,
so had to choose the military.
This is a lie, disproven by statistics,
but “academics” never let the truth get in the way of their worldview.
Foxtrot-Uniform-Charlie-Kilo-Echo-Mike!
USA USA USA USA
Rendition was invented precisely for scum like Green.
Dear Mr Green:
What are you, some spoiled brat college grad who suckled from the Great and Generous Parental Teat until you were convinced that work was for the common folk?
Some faux-educated liberal twit whose opinions are based on the LSD-inspired ravings of aged sixties-era hippies?
Some dreadlocked middle-class white boy who’s desperately trying to identify with the “oppressed masses” out of guilt at having been born to THE MAN?
Some alternate-lifestyle gimme-my-rights protester-of-everything who repaints their sign every weekend for another bout of EVERYONE’S WRONG EXCEPT ME?
Or are you a Muslim?
Honestly, I’d have more respect for you if you were Muslim.
So who was stopping anyone else from chanting something different ? If he really believes that the institution encompasses the political views of all, then why does he have a problem with USA chant ?
Is this a serious paragraph?
The writer needs to go to Iran. I hear Amanutjob doesn't like our ways, either!
I just read on another blog that this guy is an
ASSISTANT LIBRARIAN
at the university.
Assistant librarian...hahahahahahahahahahahahahaha! What a loser. Did his mother approve of his poorly written screed?
Oh that does explain a lot.
Muslim’s are offensive to me. I see that holier-than-thou expression on their faces, and that so superior look in their eyes as they gaze beyond, and through the Infidel as though he/her is lower than a worm’s belly as they file out of their “Uncle’s” store in town, and I want to rip off their faces, and stick ‘em up their...uh...er...backpacks.
He's just verified that Islam is indeed a political system and not just a religion. If it was simply a matter of personal religious beliefs then there would be no conflict with or reason to be offended by someone else's display of patriotism for their country.
The Constitution guarantees religious freedom. It cannot guarantee political freedom, for to do so would be to condone the subversion and destruction of the very political principles it is based on. The Constituion is not a suicide pact, and as long as Islam is a political system in conflict with it, it is not and should not be protected by it.
IMHO.
Academe is infested with Bill-Ayers wannabes.
TOUGH SHIT!!!!!!!
BTTT
America dies and becomes a Sharia state when the chants stop.
Anyone offended by a chant of USA should find a new country.
I don’t ever take time to worry about what might offend some Muslim who wants me as a slave or dead.
