My Uncle had a t-shirt on a little while back that had this picture underneath a large "AMERICA" (Note: This is a crappy photoshop approximation made by yours truly.) Thoughts? |

Quoted: how would you feel if there was a big crescent or star of david instead of a cross? if you can quantify such a feeling, than you know how I feel about the pic you posted. That was my initial reaction as well. Just wanted to make sure I was justified in my seething rage. I honestly didn't know what to make of it. Still don't, really. |

But there are some that would welcome a theocracy here. |

Just another T shirt. (I'm ok with the 1st amendment) so this doesn't bother you either? 
I understand it's free speech, but the US flag stands for something, at least to me it does. IMO it's off limits for making political statements, hence why all the people around here talking about flying their flags upside down or at half mast because of the election piss me off too. You don't make a political statement with the US flag. |

I don't practice any religion so I see that shirt and think, well... you do your thing and I'll do mine. I guess then my opinion would be, "indifferent". |

I am overcome with as much seething rage as when I see Hank Williams Jr's face on a Confederate battle flag or an AR-15 on a Gadsden or Gonzales flag.It almost ticks me off as much as seeing a Darwin fish or an If the Air Force Wants a New Bomber,They Should Have a Bakesale bumper sticker.
Luckily,my therapy is working and I'm able to restrain myself. I've never seen one and probably wouldn't care if I did.It's just a shirt . |
