"Gay" in the News: Constitutional Freedom?

Some hail the delay in Indiana as an indicator of a sea-change in attitude.  Perhaps the tide has changed.  People are convinced that deviance is a normal and socially acceptable form of public expression.  To justify this, they promote all kinds of new ideas, such as "gender identity", and the notion that their ideas of "marriage equality", which basically appears to be an approach to government-enforced anarchy, somehow represents newly discovered Constitutionally protected freedom.

"Gay" in the News: Indiana Obstruction

 

Indiana "gay marriage" advocates celebrate delay from the State Congress voting on  a State DOMA law.

Ironically, one of the protester's frequent slogans is the legal aphorism, "Justice Delayed is Justice Denied".  That seems to be the case except in instances where you disagree with "Justice" and legislative foot-dragging serves your interests.

Parenthetically, I observe that those bar symbols, although somewhat less popular these days, still look like nothing less than a military insignia to me.

But that's just me.  I was born that way.

Trial by Tee-shirt

Yes, it probably is.

One thing stood out in Eric Samuelson's dramatic review of the George Zimmerman trial coverage.  Samuelson wrote,

I am frightened for our country.  I thought it was a good thing in our country when we elected a Black man as President.  When I saw photos of Tea Party rallies with men wearing T shirts that read ‘Keep the White House White,’ I thought it was just a minor thing, a vestigial remnant of our bad ‘ol past.

My first impression was that it seems somewhat odd, to judge such an important issue on a basis as trivial as a tee-shirt slogan.  So I went to the Internet to verify the availability of such slogans.  Surely something so regarded as representative should be easy to find on Google search.

Sure enough, someone captured a photo of the infamous tee-shirt.

Such things are certainly not any kind of anachronism.  They're being sold today across the Internet.

Just a little aside to Eric - perhaps you will note that the shirt itself designates this as a "Romney/Ryan" campaign event, not a Tea Party rally. And it seems to be one man wearing the tee-shirt in question, not a whole cadre.  Please pay better attention.  Details such as these might be important.

But as I searched for tee-shirt themes, I came across quite a diversity of interesting examples of the tee-shirt slogan mentality.

This one is a very nice example.

And this one comes across with a certain style that leaves little to the imagination.

Unfriendly tee-shirt slogans certainly seem to be something to be feared!
