Anywaly, I'd prefer to live in Europe where this shit isn't tolerated than in someplace that fancies itself as Iran or Afghanistan or some other Islamic terror land only rebranded "Christian".
Sorry, but the only difference is that the one on the left isn't as modestly dressed.
Thank you, Holly, for proving me correct:
Sinclair Lewis on Fascism updated, or my Ambrose Bierce moment
This is a reference to Ambrose Bierce’s entry on Patriotism in the Devil’s Dictionary where he says:In Dr. Johnson’s famous dictionary patriotism is defined as the last resort of a scoundrel. With all due respect to an enlightened but inferior lexicographer I beg to submit that it is the first.Likewise, Sinclair Lewis’s rather famous quote on fascism that:
“When fascism comes to America, it will be wrapped in the flag and carrying a cross.”With all due respect to an enlightened but inferior writer I beg to submit that when fascism comes to America, it will be wrapped in a flag, carrying a cross and a gun, while claiming it is all being done in the name of the Constitution.
"I beg to submit that when fascism comes to America, it will be wrapped in a flag, carrying a cross and a gun, while claiming it is all being done in the name of the Constitution."
ReplyDeleteAh, you mean a lot like the Democratically controlled southern states not so very long ago? My guess is that one had their picture taken as a serious portrayal of their devotion and one is mocking the other picture.
Both of the photos are pretty lame. Putting them together is such a meme, doubly lame.
Actually quite insightful -- and when you refer to the Democrats who controlled the deep south, please do remember that they were a small regional faction of extreme conservatives at war with the rest of their very liberal party who were advocating for civil rights. Now they are simply openly Republican, with the other hateful bigoted conservatives.
DeleteSo, NO -- both pictures are equally sincere, and equally bad.
Both photos are gun porn, pure and simple --- and an excellent and quite original meme, not lame.
Yes. the Dixiecrats had to form their own party because Democrats rejected them. Here's a quiz question: Who was the head of the Dixiecrats and what party did he end up representing?
DeleteAs usual, no answer from SS.
DeleteWhoever posted this picture is one of the most insanely retarded idiots I have ever seen in my life. You are obviously a liberal which means you are a left winged, communist, scumbag. I can honestly say a seven year old would know that a Jihadist worships Allah, and a Christian worships Yahweh. You also say you want to get rid of people's guns, well if people had guns they could defend themselves, but instead you say that "guns kill people", but what's funny is that most criminals are getting their guns from illegal Mexicans who you liberals, and democrats keep letting in.
DeleteThe difference is that the one in black with the green background supports blowing up a school full of girls because they want to get an education.
ReplyDeleteThat one in black will also blow up your wedding reception just cause you don't worship their brand of hookem....
ReplyDeleteI know the one in black is most likely to be seen cutting the head of a New York Times reporter.
ReplyDeleteClearly, there has been a huge misunderstanding here. One of these is a picture depicts a good woman and the other, by contrast, must be a picture of a bad woman, right?
ReplyDeleteSurely, you see that one of these pictures shows a patriotic and faithful citizen, a woman whom many see as representing goodness, possessing characteristics which a sympathetic audience would interpret as truly wholesome. She’s simply holding the common and natural token of her faith in one hand. This is a book, I don’t need to tell anyone here, that we all know of and which many of us have read. And her faith, incidentally, is something which she sees as foundational to the existence of her country and to the very idea of morality; her other hand is locked to the hand grip of the symbol and substance (as she and many like her see it) of freedom and power. I’m sure she regards this as an unquestionable right! With a gun, she seems to say with her smile, “You may think I’m a soft woman, but go ahead and mess with me”. Behind her, the banner of not just her nation or people, but of her own identity.
Of course, the other picture is of an American. I can understand why her followers would be upset.
“When fascism comes to America, it will be wrapped in the flag and carrying a cross.”
ReplyDelete"Behind her, the banner of not just her nation or people, but of her own identity.

Which begs the question, how exactly do these items suggest good attributes in one photo and not in the other? You need to decide. Both photos are essentially the same. They are either both good, or both bad.
This photo has been making the rounds on the gun control advocacy pages,
https://www.facebook.com/CoalitiontoStopGunViolence/posts/884093061618260
and seems to suggest that the woman in front of the American flag is bad by portraying her as the same as the other. So it would seem that your fellow travelers are suggesting that both are bad.
If they both want government based on religion, they are both bad.
ReplyDeleteIf they both are prepared to kill for their religion, they are both bad.
If they both think only the gun can secure their goals, they are both bad.
