The customary flyover by fighter jets may be absent from this 
weekend�s Super Bowl; after all, the Mercedes-Benz Superdome in 
New Orleans is covered. But a military color guard will be on 
the field during the pregame ceremonies. CBS will cut to shots 
of troops watching the game overseas. Veterans will be 
recognized on the stadium�s video boards. And flag imagery will 
abound, as will stirring renditions of the national anthem and, 
most likely, �America the Beautiful.�

Sports games � some of the only events that lead Americans to 
set their differences aside and sit down and watch together � 
have become stages for large-scale patriotic theater. This is no 
accident; many of the militaristic rituals we see in stadiums 
and arenas across the country were deliberately designed to 
promote unity during times of crisis. But they�ve stuck around 
far longer than needed, making sports feel less like pastimes 
than pep rallies for our military or a particular war.

Are you obligated as an armed civilian, to defend unarmed 
liberals while you are both under fire by foreign agents of the 
outlaw Obama administration?

No.  Shoot the liberals immediately so they can't stab you in 
the back while you are defending yourself, then return a 
controlled rate of aimed fire.  ��
