If you see someone burning an American flag you should:
1) Ignore it, he’s a moonbat who will soon die of some dread disease he contracted through using dirty illegal drugs or engaging in weird sex.
2) Remind him that the flag is held in high esteem by many and tell him that someone might hurt him if he doesn’t stop.
3) Pour a bucket of water on the burning flag, lecture him about how great America is, and tell him to go home and read some history books.
4) Pour a bucket of water on the burning flag, clobber him in the head with the empty bucket and before he can get up remove all his clothes and burn them.

If you come across someone passing out leaflets reading “US out of America” you should:
1) Ignore it, idiot ideas are everywhere and moonbats swoon over them all the time.
2) Take a leaflet, pretend to read it, then ask him what language it is in and what planet he is from .
3) Take all his leaflets, tell him he looks tired and you’ll circulate the leaflets for him so he can go home and get high.
4) Slap his face several times, take all the leaflets and stuff them into his mouth one by one until he passes out.

If you own an object you prize above all else because you believe it has been sanctified by whatever G-d you believe in and someone spits on it you should:
1) Ignore him, he’s just a misguided kid who has no clue how he even dressed himself this morning.
2) Lower and shake your head sadly realizing that this benighted individual has not yet learned the truth.
3) Shake your finger at him and give him a stern reminder that such behavior will make him unpopular.
4) Poke a finger into his chest while shouting “desecrator, desecrator” and when he raises his arm to protect himself rearrange his facial contours.

If you see a group of protesters calling themselves America Last you should:
1) Ignore them, cross the street and comfort yourself with the thought that free speech allows even these demented people a voice.
2) Stop, listen to their chant (they’ll only have one), ask how on earth any thinking person could come up with such pathetic versification.
3) Stop, start your own chant “Hey, Hey, U S A, Hope you win again today!”
4) Stop, take out a rubber truncheon and begin methodically moving through the crowd rapping each member of the group solidly behind each knee.

If you read an article disrespectful of American values you should:
1) Ignore it, everyone is entitled to a stupid opinion now and then even if they never have anything but stupid opinions.
2) Contact the editor, criticize the article and the writer sprinkling the conversation liberally with terms such as Commie, pinko, leftist, Socialist, and traitor.
3) Cancel your subscription, write the publisher telling them that you and everyone you can convince will never buy anything published by that company again.
4) Go to the publisher’s office, find the writer and beat the crap out of him then find the editor and beat the crap out of him then set their desks and files on fire.

If you find someone desecratorily touching a Koran you should:
1) Slay him, he has desecrated the holy Qu’ran and insulted the prophet, may he rest in peace.
2) Issue a fatwah on the desecrator offering paradise to anyone who finds and kills him.
3) Start a riot blaming the little Satan Israel and the big Satan America for creating this atmosphere of disrespect for Islam.
4) Ignore it, you don’t care because the truth is in your heart, the book is a mere reflection.

Anom #24: “I don’t know about MSM or jihad, but I agree with the ACLU that Ten Commandment iconography does not belong in public buildings — especially judicial buildings.”

What was it you didn’t understand about my use of “icons”?

As for our charter documents, the “plain” text contained within is a verifiable work of art — often imitated, never duplicated.

If it were any shorter, it’d be a mini photoalbum, each a picture of what our forefathers intended. Instead, it’s a rich document with hyperlinks to both history as facts & the future as ideas.

If the EU constitution was any shorter, it’d still be longer than need be. (For starters, they chose the language of diplomacy to convey the EU image )

As for the mention of “the Creator”, we all know who they were referring to. By the way, where on God’s green earth did we get the God-Creator meme?

Can I take 3 stabs at it?
Isa 40:28 Hast thou not known? hast thou not heard, that the everlasting God, the LORD, the Creator of the ends of the earth, fainteth not, neither is weary? there is no searching of his understanding.

Rom 1:25 Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshiped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed forever. Amen. (for context, ya gotta read that whole chapter)

1Pe 4:19 Wherefore let them that suffer according to the will of God commit the keeping of their souls to him in well doing, as unto a faithful Creator.

Like Nkrumah was exploited by British colonialists cum business partners, the Indians were exploited and “nickeled & dimed” to death, in order to get them appreciate, and depend, on the hi-fat subsistance powdered milk (no pun intended), in this case coming from Uncle Sam.

Dare I say, more than the so-called reparations due descendants of slaves, we have still yet to do right by many of the duly sworn treaties that we soberly agreed to? A just start would be full emancipation of the reservations following the complete withdrawal of the Federal Government from Indian Affairs.

The MSM complained about Christians objecting to the “Piss Christ” saying it was just art. I wonder what they would say if some artist came up with “Piss Mohamed”

Interestingly, the Bigamists have filed lawsuits asserting their freedom to engage in bigamy. There’s about a dozen federal lawsuits winding their way through Utah and Colorado Federal Courts right now. And, they are making a freedom of religion argument to support it.

Religion is used to justify all kinds of crazy, and, often, illegal activities.

Back to the Indians: Native Americans frequently use peyote —-an illegal hallucenagenic—- in their religious services. Peyote is an illegal drug in the USA, and nobody else would get away with using it for “religious purposes”.

Actually, forget freedom of religion….. Native Americans, under “sovereignty” feel they aren’t even subject to U.S. Law. They follow “Tribal Law”, and simply don’t have to obey anything we say.

That’s the sham of “sovereignty”.

As for the Muslims that did riot, killing their own countrymen, I can’t fathom what REALLY drove them to that. In the US, those of us that love the Lord and His Christ (and His word) are assaulted DAILY, yet with no comparable response.

Christianity is NOT a philosophy/religion of victimization. The heirs of God are MORE than conquerors, so the sniping we have to deal with is small stuff. I will say this to my brothers and sisters: stop whining about every perceived (or actual) slight. EXPECT to be vilified. We have work to do that MUST be done. I mean, it isn’t like we haven’t been forewarned that the world we live in would hate us. We can take comfort in the fact that Jesus has already overcome the world and we share in that victory.

Yes, I am clear that there is no state religion in the United States. I am not sure what you mean by “Wiccans, Mormons and quote a few others were NOT free to practice as they pleased.” If you mean “at the time the country was founded” then my response is “There were no Mormons at the time the country was founded.” If you mean “at times in the past” I agree that in the early days of Mormonism, the religion said that men could have multiple wives. Mainstream Mormonism has repudiated this doctrine, but a few splinter sects still adhere to it. Bigamy is not legal in any state of the United States, so any member of a religion or sect that permits multiple spouses at the same time has to give up that aspect of their religion in the United States. But they can practice their religion up to the limits of the law. Most of the time, law and religion don’t collide.

I am not sure what you meant by Wiccans not being free to practice. As far as I know, Wiccans do not have any practices or rituals that break laws. It may be that at times in the past, Christian-influenced legislatures passed laws banning one religion or another. Well, we had the Salem witch trials too. But we wouldn’t tolerate witch trials today — they are unconstitutional. And we don’t tolerate banning religions per se. All we do is ban a few practices that we wouldn’t allow anybody to do for any reason.

I am not sure what “icons” you find in our charter documents. An “icon” is an image. The Declaration of Independence, the Articles of Confederation, the Constitution and the Bill of Rights were not illustrated. They were just handwritten texts. One of these documents, the Declaration of Independence, refers to the “Creator” but in a non-denominational way.

My points are neither tired nor revisionist. If they tire you, get more sleep.

As for iconography, who do you think put up the first icons and Christian ideology into our charter documents? Why do you even bring up tired revisionist arguments about what the founding fathers were voting for before they voted against it?

Tell us something we didn’t know, such as what the founding fathers thot of the resultant mass of fish OD’ing on tea in the Boston Harbor during the first recorded anti-globalisation riot.

My response was: That would be like someone justifying their killing of people because they were offended that people in their family was sequestored for jury duty. How’s that for an analogy. Works for me because it has killing for being detained in it.
