Via email this morning from Matt Barber’s BarbWire site:
Dear fellow Christian and Patriot, Our nation is reeling. I turn on the news and see Bruce Jenner being celebrated for wearing a dress. Women on Instagram exploiting their bodies for fame. The music industry is selling sex, drug use and explicit language to our children. I see riots in our streets, as men throw rocks at police and vandalize public property. Protesters stomping on and burning Old Glory. I see “race” issues getting worse instead of better. Our kids on college campuses being brainwashed by liberal ideology and thinking socialism would make America better. We have watched millions of babies get aborted each year, gay marriage legalized across this nation, and now bathrooms are no longer separated by sex? Where does it end?

Maybe you feel like it’s hopeless to save our nation. In 70 AD, Rome came and sacked Jerusalem. They burned everything to the ground, just as it was foretold by the prophets. But yet a remnant remained. Today in America, there are still millions and millions of Bible-believing Christians throughout our nation. The homosexual population? Less than 3%. Transgenders? Less than .3%! Why are we scared? We are the MANY, they are the FEW. We need to take back our streets, take back our cities and take back our nation for the Glory of God! Men and women, I call on you to get on your knees before a Holy and Just God to cry out for your country. God has given us the King that we begged for. We have reaped what we have sowed.

But it’s not too late. It may feel like it is, but I assure you, Christian citizen, it is NOT! We need to visibly show the nation that we are here and we are not going away quietly. You have seen the Jesus fish on cars for many years now. But we are more than Christians. We are Christian Patriots! That’s why we need your help. We want to see 1 MILLION cars on our streets and highways with this emblem. We are not hiding. We are right in front of you and we will not lay down and allow any more of this foolishness to destroy or country that our fathers, grandfathers, and great-grandfathers fought and died for. I want every Christian Patriot in America to get the Star-Spangled Fish Emblem for their vehicle. Can you imagine driving through town and seeing 5 out of every 10 cars with the emblem on it?

I assure you, they will take notice! Just like in any game, when the defense makes a big play, it strikes fear in the heart of their opponent. We have been on defense for far too long. It’s time to go big and strike down this progressive movement in America. We will infiltrate every area of culture and politics. This will be our calling card. Change starts small, but like a snowball rolling down hill, we will become a force that cannot be stopped. Join me, my brothers and sisters! If we do not take action today, there may not be another chance for us. Sincerely, Jared Vallorani, CEO, Liberty Alliance.

1. That $10 magnet probably cost them 10 cents. Slime scum of earth.

[Warren DeMontague]

5. "there's a sucker born every minute, Lord"

Hallelujah!

[Eleanors38]

11. "there's a sticker born every minute."

[TheBlackAdder]

15. Eli Wallach, "If God did not want them fleeced, He would not have made them sheep"

[TheBlackAdder]

16. What a fucking dumbass. They aren't magnetic, they are chrome with a foam sticker backing.

[Buzz Clik]

2. Putting the stars and stripes on that fish is a bit of a sacrilege.

[Iggo]

3. Backpfeifengesicht. (n/t)

[Zing Zing Zingbah]

4. Funny how fish is supposed to be interpreted as Christian.

I know why... but that just doesn't seem like a great symbol for Christianity to me because it could also mean fish.

[Warren DeMontague]

6. True Origin of Christian "FISH" Symbol Might Outrage, Shock Jesus Worshippers

http://www.godlessgeeks.com/LINKS/fish_symbol.htm

Well before Christianity, the fish symbol was known as "the Great Mother," a pointed oval sign, the "vesica piscis" or Vessel of the Fish. "Fish" and "womb" were synonymous terms in ancient Greek,"delphos." Its link to fertility, birth, feminine sexuality and the natural force of women was acknowledged also by the Celts, as well as pagan cultures throughout northern Europe. Eleanor Gaddon traces a "Cult of the Fish Mother" as far back as the hunting and fishing people of the Danube River Basin in the sixth millennium B.C.E. Over fifty shrines have been found throughout the region which depict a fishlike deity, a female creature who "incorporates aspects of an egg, a fish and a woman which could have been a primeval creator or a mythical ancestress..." The "Great Goddess" was portrayed elsewhere with pendulous breasts, accentuated buttocks and a conspicuous vaginal orifice, the upright "vesica piscis" which Christians later adopted and rotated 90-degrees to serve as their symbol.

7. Interesting

Yeah, they wouldn't like that.

[Warren DeMontague]

20. well crap, look at Easter- I mean it's pretty obvious what the bunnies & eggs symbolize

and it aint Jesus.

[rurallib]

18. Thanks much for this. I had always thought it was tied to the practice of eating fish

on Fridays that Catholics practiced. Thus the fish eaters = Christians and the fish showed they were Christians.

Someone told me long ago that the practice of abstaining from meat but being allowed to eat fish started when one of the popes was a major fish seller in Italy. Don't know if that is true, nor do I really care. Sure does seem to fit with most of the other stories I heard as a young catholic.

[Warren DeMontague]

21. I only just discovered this now, while googling fish symbols, etc.

But, it makes sense.

(I thought it had to do with Jesus's stuff about "fishers of men", myself)

[thucythucy]

26. Same here.

"Fishers of men."

This one though is much more interesting.

[Donkees]

8. There's a blimp version too :)

[Eleanors38]

9. Oh. I thought HE was Barb.

[msanthrope]

10. Honestly, I'd just turn it. That's what it means, anyway. nt

[Hekate]

23. >snrk<

The only people who would get that are the ones with bumper stickers that read "My other car is a broomstick" and "My Goddess gave birth to your God." Probably best that way -- God only knows what the fundies would do if they got it.

I used to have a Darwin fish, but someone broke it off and stuck it under a windshield wiper. One of hubby's friends has a Gefilte fish stick-on.

[sarcasmo]

12. Stars and stripes, homophobic fish.

[Wellstone ruled]

13. When ever we get behind one of these,

we know we are following a Bigot and beware,this sucker might be packing and that is a hand grenade with a pulled pin.

Pagan symbol,true,lovin it.

[muriel_volestrangler]

14. He asks "why are we scared?" It's because people like him write paragraphs like his 1st

so that they can scare their marks into buying the magic charm for $10.

[guillaumeb]

17. Two questions:

1) The fish appears to have three eyes. Is it a mutant fish?

2) Is the fish made in the US or in China?

[KamaAina]

29. No, it's from Springfield.

[suffragette]

19. And Jared will be happy to sell them to you at hugely profitable prices

Spinning hate into profits.

[Albertoo]

22. No doubt Jesus would have stuck stickers on ox-carts to shame their gay owners

If a real Jesus had existed, of course.

[irisblue]

24. QUICK! GayChristians start making& marketing this.

[thucythucy]

25. The stars make it look dead.

I mean, almost x's for eyes?

[sakabatou]

27. Yeah, that'd really put fear into the LGBT+ community

[Oneironaut]

28. If God wants this, why would they need to do anything?

This is the same God that created the great flood, appeared as a burning bush, and parted the Red Sea. Why would God need mere humans to carry out its will. Is God a moron?

Oh wait, 'God's testing us.' Suuuuure!

[Chellee]

30. The testing.

I once had a christian tell me that fossils were millions of years old, while the earth was only thousands of years old, because God had created them and put them there as a test of faith.


She would also absolutely rail about christmas trees being "heathen" and blasphemous. To be fair, I agree that christians stole the whole tree idea, but I think that was really more about marketing. One way to grow your brand is to appeal to a new psychographic subset. I didn't tell her that. I didn't think it would go over very well.

[SwankyXomb]

31. Just the thing every true Amurrikan needs

just in time for the pogroms to start.

I also assume these all-American items are made in China, or someplace with even worse working conditions.

[snort]

32. If it smells like fish,

eat it.

[LeftRant]

33. People who put political things on their cars must have a higher rate of flat tires paint damage.

And I don't know why anyone would do that.
