god bless american, EVEN IF YOU MUST CURSE US FIRST: graphic intensive OP |
|
While the storm clouds gather over our great land, Let us swear to protect her and finally take a stand. Let us all be grateful for a land so fair, As we raise our voices in a solemn prayer:God Bless America.
Land that I love
Stand beside her, and guide her
Thru the night with a light from above.
From the mountains, to the prairies,
To the oceans, white with foam
God bless America
My home sweet home.
God Bless America, http://www.greenberg-art.com/.Toons/.Toons,%20social/qqxsgLibertyCries.gif

And guide her,
Through the night
With the light from above,
From the mountains,
To the prairies,
To the ocean,
White with foam,
God bless America,
My home sweet home.
God bless America,
My home sweet home.
please join the most potent, bipartisian, grass-roots effort in America today:

the whole nsa thingy is sovietesque -- i had to reread it.
gulag archipelago -- the secret jails -- spying -- what a thing to hang around the neck of the population.

to do with God Bless America and America from the mountains to the prairies?

16. What an odd post. I love the emotion, but what's the point here? |
|
Why come to DU and advertise for bipartisanship? I'm always in favor of working with Republicans when we share a common goal (preserving the Bill of Rights, protection our children, saving the environment for future generations, balancing the federal budget, um, all used to be good examples). But even I wouldn't push bipartisanship as a cause. This site is about how do we organize our party and kick asses in alternating Novembers.
The OP has, sadly, wasted many electrons in a lost, if somewhat confused, cause.

17. Unkick! Unrecommended. The Statue of Liberty does NOT shoot the bird... |
|
...at anyone but Alberto Gonzalez. This "coming motherfuckers" message is a retread image from 9/11. That's a nice message in the shock of the post WTC days, but now that we're over the shock and our leaders have pretty much foregone trying to avenge those 3000 murders in lieu of a satellite "war on sanity" in Iraq (and points beyond), the old lady has gone back to actually representing liberty again and the bird shot is an irrelevant image.
This post (and I suppose my reply) are a waste of electrons.

I looked at this creation a whole different way. My (our?) Statue of Liberty would never flip the world the bird. What has our (read: their) foreign policy message to the world in 2006? I think that this image represents the world's view of the USA.

20. I agree it DOES represent the World's view of the US |
|
I meant it to show that WE THE PEOPLE are coming at the power-broakers who created the World's negative opinions about us. This was certainly NOT my best graphic effort. My meanings are too subtle for an internet type approach and better left to the realms of painting.
