    It would appear the cross has been photo-shopped in. But wearing the flag in this manner is a pretty clear violation of the Federal Flag Code.

    As any good Republican would know, “It’s not fascism when we do it”

    What’s facism?

    While the attribution to Lewis is questionable, it’s nonetheless an outstanding quote.

  4. Well, of course it is photoshopped, that is the point. So is Palin herself. She can morph into anything you want if you’ll just buy her book or pay her speaking fee. Now, we have a whole slew of ersatz candidates who stand for the same principles but delivery the talking points with varying degrees of spin or vehemence just to take the hyperbole up a level and distinguish yourself from a crowd of losers, hypocrites, poseur product peddlers, and slimey things found on the floors of gay bath-houses (ever google Rick Santorum?). Cain is selling books, just as are some of the others. Those who eventually drop out become visitors on Fox Mews.

    Perhaps the Penn State scandal will get folks to wondering, what if those four women are telling the truth about Cain? How will be family values frauds deal with the news? Will Newtie be exposed for the serial divorce’ that he is, going for younger models until he found a woman as voraciously greedy as he is. Will the people wake up to the fact that the author of the Wikipedia entry on Rick Factotum fairly and accurately described the waxy fraced geek we see weekly at the debates? Will the minimum wages Perry boasts about and the mass firings of Romney’s Bain years put a lie to any notion he knows how or intends to “create jobs”? Is this the best the Repugs can do?

    When fascism comes it will arrive with talk of “hope” and “change”.

    Oops!

    I’ve been surfing on-line greater than 3 hours lately, but I never found any attention-grabbing article like yours. It’s pretty price sufficient for me. Personally, if all webmasters and bloggers made just right content as you probably did, the net can be much more useful than ever before.
