An Immodest Proposal for An Idea.

When the nation a Denmark was occupied by the German army and the order was given to have all jews display the six pointed star, the King came out with one installed upon his state finery in public as a show of solidarity.
Everyone wore the star and the slaughter in mass of the jewish citizens of Denmark was thwarted. Well, that was an era of leaders, at least, for Danes.
I believe that a serious effort must be made to stress a common bond in order to counter the tactics of division. An open source head banging, perhaps.
My idea would be a common visual symbol that would resonate with Christians, Gays, Construction workers, and generally the public that is being squeezed into debt, taxed everywhere they go and then watch those taxes go to the military and their symbiotic contractors in that den of thieves, known as Washington DC/Wall Street.
Here at home.
The water and air remains tainted as our common wealth like the air waves are exploited, our forests mountain tops raped and destroyed and our social security funds being looted for a few wealthy parasites as the debt we now carry as a nation from fraud and kleptomania by the enemy, into off shore accounts. Dan Rather, on CBS, on Sept 10 2004 reported a 2+[ T] -Two Plus $TRILLION accounting loss of military hardware. (?)
The beat goes on. Schools need books or working bathrooms? Is there a free public health clinic near you if your kid has an ear ache and is crying while you're between being downsized? Go to the emergency room when it gets too bad? Think about how many fully staffed hospitals an air craft carrier represents.
Our freedumbs.
The passage of an unpopular Patriot Act 2 by a jelly fish congress. And the nomination of Goss, Gonzalas and Gobbles. Whee.

What is the common thread that all of the lawful, moral people that make this country and work to better it for the future, share? And how do we come together over it?
Oh, and perhaps the cresent is not the best idea even though I personally think it's a bitchen idea... like that Danish King, you know.
All religions are personal in my opinion.

Why don't you get it emblazoned on your forehead? Trad the emblems and jingoism from one group of "nazis" for another, eh? Guess it all depends on which group you hate more. In your case, its the group that wants to see democracy and free elections prevail in Iraq that you hate the most. In my book that makes you the nazi. But life is shades of gray, and you love to embrace the grayness of it all.

You sure are predisposed with that word "we", aren't you? I still haven't figured out who "we" is, whether it's just you and your buddy Meyer London, or whether you're just referring to the voices in your head.

But by all means. Go get yourself tattooed.

don't get so bent, Jackoff.
and this bit, -"Trad the emblems"- seems intriging. Don't worry, I wasn't thinking of taking away any of your icons of good.
here, have a peanut.
maybe a forbidden jackboot sign.
You know, a jackboot, circled and slashed. Or in your case, a brain with a circled slash.
Ta.

I think all of you and your friends should run down to the local tattoo parlors and get yourselves embellished with the icons of all those who have ever opposed the tyranical Amerikkkan empire. I mean, why stop with those of the Iraqi insurgents? You need to really teach all the rest of us "nazis" a lesson about the history of America. You could get yourselves decorated with the hammer and sickle, the rising sun, Ho Chi Mihn's five point star, the red crescent, the Narciso López, Mussolini's perched eagle, oh and of course, the swastika. All of these wonderful groups at one time opposed the wicked empire of the USA. Hell, there's a whole host symbols you and you pals could adorn yourselves with.

Narciso López was a Venezuelan born Spanish general who led several filibustering expeditions into Cuba with the goal of liberating the island from Spain and preserving slavery.
Most of López' support came from the U.S. south, as were most of the paid soldiers who signed up with his expeditions, and it is widely believed that his main goal was the annexation of Cuba to the U.S.

it bothers me that Sheepdog thinks I'm stupid. And after I go to all this effort to impress him with my intellect! Why am I brainless, sheep? Cuz I'm not in line with you at the tattoo parlor?

Geez, I don't know or care. That's up for speculation.

that the Cubans still fly that flag, what with the history of it an all, huh.

Guess even an old sheepdog can be taught new tricks, eh?

And you call yourself a socialist. The utter definition of hypocrisy. Socialists are supposed to care about everyone, aren't they; even the most lowly among them they are supposed to care about.

Sheepdog cares more about those that want to cut off our heads just for being Americans than he does for those who fight and die for democracy. He cares so much more for them he's ready to wear their icons.

Sheepdog, you've got problems, buddy.

"You sure are predisposed with that word "we", aren't you? I still haven't figured out who "we" is, whether it's just you and your buddy Meyer London, or whether you're just referring to the voices in your head. "

Ah, but there it is. The spokeshole for a handful of failed and disturbed dropouts.

Kinda like a snarling barking, whining, smelly, rub their ass on the rug little mutt who barks like a lion safe behind the glass door. A terrarium for the reader to see the rabid, mindless ignorance I myself have come to count upon to brighten my day. Knowing you posh, by your very nature, the limits of survival.

you have another lover! How dare you.
Oh, by the way, I ment 'push' not post. Damn me.

PUSH the limits
and I'm still sore, fresca. I thought you were not a butterfly of love. Now you and Jack can GO crawl into the bushes like crazed weasels and mate. I hope both of you are VERY happy.

Hell, I ment bolt like scalded jack rabbits,
Bastards (I try to type with my eyes filled with tears-sniffle- choke-) have a nice life.

Well, you must be a very happy individual then! Hey sheepdog, I've just had a really, really swell idea. Why don't we all get Islamic crescents tattooed on our asses, you know, like the Dutchess of York or some such might have done, to show our solidarity with the gay muslims struggling against heterosexuality in Iraq? WHADDAYAH SAY????

sorry.
My ass is too perfect to blemish with anything but fresca's lips as they produce their customary hickies.

You're letting selfishness and vanity get in the way of our show of solidarity for Islamic queers. Think of the struggle. Gay arabs are being repressed. TO THE TATTOO PARLORS, TROOPERS!!!!!

nonsense. I'm letting you kiss my ass right now. Don't be greedy.
Now back to the thread.
maybe a forbidden swastica, even if it's one of your mentors in practice.

More like that old Peter Gabriel song: "Shock the Monkey"

Besides, I was still on the thread. It was you that wanted a symbol to resonate with the gays, et. al. I was just trying to help out. Perhaps a rainbow with an Islamic crescent. Yes that' s it. Hold on ... BRB.........

Here ya go. Solidarity with the gays and the muslims.. Glad I could help out the "movement".

..."Jack Mehoffer"???

....that kinda wit says it all, don't ya think?

If the Danes had the six pinted star the you kooks could have a giant letter "L" for LOSER.

Or maybe you could have a little patch drawn up with a pic of your IMC hero Andrew McCrae throwing gas on a cop and lighting him.

From Sheepdog:

Okay, Babies, here's what your Choices are

As the sting of 'the most important election of or times' wears off and the self evident complicity of the Republicrats in this most obvious criminal hijacking of democracy becomes apparent, you have only two logical choices.
You can sulk about being betrayed and wait again for another leader to allow you to be led into further enslavement. Most likely by being stampeded into martial law after the next al CIAda attack from a criminal institution that was from its inception, a collection of Wall Street baking lawyers and Nazis whom they financed, brought over after WWII under Operation Paperclip.
Or you can pull together starting by demanding a recall. Not by some figurehead of authority but from a mass of angry and throughly mobilized population who finally realize what has been done to their social and legal systems.
But.
If the past is any roadmap of American will, you will do nothing except bow your heads and continue to wait for the Xmas bunny to do your democracy for you

It all starts with everyone wearing the correct identifier. Now if you dumbfucks could just agree on one you'll be half-way there.

I hate being right all the time. You may quote that also.
