Never has an American political party been so determined to cast itself as anti-American. It’s only a matter of time before the country gets to return the sentiment during election season next year.The Spectator "What an amazing last week we’ve had. It’s almost like half of America’s political class set out to prove George Orwell correct in every particular.
"Orwell, the author of 1984 and Animal Farm, the two most cogent takedowns of socialism ever written through the lens of fiction, famously said that “there is the horrible — the really disquieting — prevalence of cranks wherever Socialists are gathered together.

"During the World Cup of Hockey in 2016, U.S. coach John Tortorella announced that “If any of my players sit on the bench for the national anthem, they will sit there the rest of the game.” Asked why, Tortorella told ESPN: “It is probably the most disrespectful thing you can do as a U.S. citizen.” He noted that “there are men and women that give their lives for their flag,” and those who have suffered “traumatic physical injuries, traumatic mental injuries.” Their service and sacrifice, Tortorella said, make it possible for athletes to play a game for a living.
