Dec. 7, 1941 vs Sept.11, 2001

After Dec. 7, 1941, the American government came to the conclusion that America had been attacked. Japanese planes, piloted by Japanese men, shot bullets into and dropped bombs on, American warships parked in a harbor, 3000 miles away from the American mainland, and killed about 2,000 American citizens. The American government made a great effort to let the American people know that their government was hostile to this action of the Japanese government and authorized patriotic propaganda to reassure Americans that their own hostility toward the Japanese government was highly approved of by the American government and that fostering an attitude of warlike response was totally appropriate and that the American government and the American citizens were agreed: it was clobberin' time. No such poster, such as is seen above, was authorized or encouraged by the American government after America was attacked by the Islamic religion on Sept. 11, 2001, in which 3,000 American citizens were killed after Islamic soldiers flew hijacked American planes - since they had none of their own - into the two greatest structures on earth, on the soil of the American mainland. In fact the American government actually discouraged any harboring of animosity toward Islam and Muslims - men, women and children, who are the soldiers of Islam - and immediately declared that the enemy was "terror." Which apparently also included American terror of Islam. No posters declaring America's determination to enact revenge on Islam were ever produced, and in fact, posters declaring Islam the enemy were liable in courts of law under the slander and hate crime statues. In this latter attack the American government bent over backwards to reassure Islamists that we would seek not revenge but understanding. Which is why, as you look at the tattered American flag in the painting above, get a good picture of it: our current President is steering a course to replace that flag with the flag of Islam over America, in the interests of goodwill, in the interests of self-examination of America's own responsibility for the attack, and in America's earnest need to beg forgiveness from Islam for provoking them by existing as a Christian nation. It is only a matter of time before Walmart will be selling burkhas and robes and the Koran for the upcoming generation of American converts to Islam in the interests of peace and understanding. Rush Limbaugh, Walmart's biggest booster, will probably volunteer to wear one of the outfits in an ad campaign, and maybe even crush out his cigar on the forehead of a crucifix of Jesus out of respect for Islamic law.
