    Exactly. Capitalism has created hallmark holidays for retailers. Every time I see an advertisement for Veteran's Day Sales it just makes my blood boil.

    Indeed, liberal democracy and market capitalism do value getting ahead over more traditional values.

    It's one reason there is a decline in family values. They've taken away days in which family used to get together and celebrate these important dates. They have devalued these dates and made them sale dates.

    It's pathetic.

    Yes, that's the liberal project (classical and modern). Not many get this.

    Especially the conservatives who think there is something remotely conservative about their ideology.
    Whoever criticizes capitalism, while approving immigration, whose working class is its first victim, had better shut up. Whoever criticizes immigration, while remaining silent about capitalism, should do the same.

    So true. I'm so sick and tired of the commercialism!
