Florida sheriff tees off anti-war couple
I just now got the pun
Florida sheriff tees off anti-war couple
Whether it is tshirts or bumper stickers ie (keep honking I'm reloading and the like), it seem like people wear them for shock value, or to broadcast their own ideas (like anyone else cares).
I personally believe these types of messages seriously degrade the value of our cause.
Robert, are you referring to the general idea of a T shirt that shows a weapon pointed or specifically to the T shirt you mentioned?
I always thought the Vote From the Rooftops T shirts were a little in your face and tend to reinforce the stereotype the media likes to hang on us as either overweight, uneducated rural hicks or KKK, Aryan Nations type extremists.
I don't think they help us in the culture war. Think of the outrage people in the gun culture felt when the "Always Think Forfeiture" leatherman tools became public knowledge. It did nothing but reinforce the negative image the gun culture has of the BATFE. I think T shirts and bumper stickers like that have the same effect on the other side. And just like the gun culture uses the leatherman tool to try to convince fence sitters that they are right about the BATFE, the other side uses those T shirts and bumper stickers the same way.
Just something to think about.....

the value of our cause
Some of the particularly outrageous comments in this thread tend to prompt a rather strongly worded response.
These wars root much further back than some random attack on 9/11/2001. It began in 1948 when we first armed and funded Israel to crusade through the region and take by force what they were "entitled" to. Since then we have given them billions of dollars and countless arsenals to create new enemies with. And now, we are giving them the lives of our soldiers. Well, I am calling BS. There is no amount of policing we can do to make the Arabs/Muslims forgive and accept the Jews for 60 years of invasions and bloodshed.
Why is it not OK on THR to say anything critical of Islam but anti-semetic and anti-Israel propaganda is a-ok?
