New U.S. Flag
One of the more incredible misconceptions perpetrated by the right is that Christianity is patriotic. Why did our founding fathers divide the church and state? Were they atheist agents of the counter culture? Was our country founded by a sinister cabal of Masonic conspiracists? Yes! One has only to look at the eye in the cone of the pyramid on the dollar bill to know it is true, but that’s beside the point. The reasons to suspect the motives of the church were many. Foremost, Christianity had no allegiance to this country, no allegiance to anything, in fact, besides its own global interests. The church was either loyal to the Vatican, or, if it was the Anglican Church, then to the English King (remember, Henri VIII invented Protestantism so he could divorce his wife). At a time when our present administration has found a sympathetic ally in the Nazi Pope Ratzinger, the unnatural link between religion and patriotism looms ever larger and more ominous. Whether or not we like it, it is time to reconsider the U.S. flag! Printing technology has vastly improved lately. To judge by the increase in photographic-quality graphics, especially on license plates and in nu jack clothing patterns, it would seem like just about anything can get printed on, well, just about anything. Now that our founding fathers have all been exposed for the revolutionary criminals they were, it is high time to reinvent the flag to reflect contemporary cultural attitudes.
