A CROSS BURNING?

ON MY NIGHTLY 10 MINUTE WALK (NO NEED TO GO NUTTY), I REALIZED I WAS A PERFECT CANDIDATE FOR A GOOD, OLD-FASHIONED CROSS BURNING ON MY LAWN. CONSERVATISM WOULD NOT SERVE ME WELL AS I CONSERVE ON TRAVEL, GAS AND MATERIALISTIC CONSUMPTION. WHAT, I THOUGHT, WOULD BE SYMBOLS OF CROSS BURNINGS FOR MODERN DAY LIBERALISM, BECAUSE IT CERTAINLY IS NOT THE CROSS. WHAT WOULD LIBERALS BURN ON MY LAWN? AND WHAT FLAG WOULD THEY LEAVE BEHIND AS A REMINDER OF WHO THEY ARE? HERE ARE MY TOP FIVE CONTENDERS OFF THE TOP OF MY HAT.

5. THEY WOULD BURN A FLAG DEPICTING A GOLDEN ARCH, THE SYMBOL OF CAPITALISM AND FREE MARKETS AND THEY WOULD LEAVE BEHIND A LARGE PLACARD OF A HALF-EMPTY GLASS TO SHOW THEIR PESSIMISM AND DOOM AND GLOOM ATTITUDE THAT ALWAYS SEES AMERICAN ENTREPRENEURSHIP AT ITS WORST.

4. THEY WOULD BURN A DOLLAR SIGN, A SYMBOL OF CORPORATE GREED AND THE ACCUMULATION OF WEALTH AND LEAVE BEHIND A WAVING HAMMER AND SICKLE BECAUSE COMMUNISM AND SOCIALISM REPRESENT THEIR PERFECT WORLD IN WHICH EACH AND ALL ARE EQUAL IN FINANCIAL LIMITATIONS ANDTHEREFORE MISERABLE.

3. THEY WOULD BURN THE AMERICAN FLAG ON MY LAWN, A NATURALLY PATRIOTIC AND UPBEAT ICON AND LEAVE BEHIND A WHITE FLAG TO SHOW THEIR CONCEPT OF NEGOTIATION AND SURRENDER WHEN CONFRONTING ANY ENEMY.

2. THEY WOULD BURN A FLAG WAVING A CONSERVATIVE’S BROKEN HEART, THAT FEELS THE SAD STATE OF IMMORALITY AND POWER POLITICKING UNADDRESSED BY WASHINGTON LIBERALS. LEFT BEHIND WOULD BE A FLAG WITH A BLEEDING HEART, THEIR REPRESENTATION OF THE COMPASSION OF GOVERNMENTAL ASSISTANCE AND CONTROL OF EVERY ASPECT OF SOCIETY

1. THEY WOULD IN FACT BURN A CROSS BECAUSE IT IS A SYMBOL OF CHRISTIANITY AND SACRIFICE, BOTH CONCEPTS ANATHEMA TO THEIR ABROGATION OF AN ACKNOWLEDGED GOD-DRIVEN RULE OF LAW AND THEIR RE-DEPLOYMENT THE MEANING OF SACRIFICE.

A SENIOR FELLOW AT A CALIFORNIA INSTITUTE DARED TO WRITE, "NOTHING THREATENS (OUR) LIBERTY SO GREATLY AS THE UNITED STATES ENGAGEMENT IN WARFARE." HAVING FORGOTTEN HOW WE GOT HERE IN THE FIRST PLACE - AN AMERICAN REVOLUTION AGAINST ENGLAND - HE IS INCAPABLE OF SEEING OUR COUNTRY MOVING FORWARD. P.S. COME TO THINK OF IT, THE SETTING SUN, NOT THE RISING SUN, IS PERFECT TO EMBLAZON A LIBERAL’S FLAG.
