I think the picture is right on the money. Wow and I can't believe that the officer responded "It aint no more" about this being America. Revolution needs to happen.
Anonymous: You have the right to your opinion about the picture. My point is that the picture is in bad taste because it does nothing to persuade anyone to oppose President Obama's program. What it does do is to cause conservatives to hate President Obama, and his supporters to hate conservatives. Hatred always leads to bad public policy. In other words, I agree that such a poster is completely legal and has the right to be displayed; but for the reasons cited above, I find it highly immoral.
Harold: I would have to disagree sir. It does and has persuaded others to oppose Obama's program. Hatred does not always lead to bad public policy. I certainly do not love Obama or his agenda. It may be immoral to you, but there is certainly nothing immoral about it Biblically.
"...there is certainly nothing immoral about it Biblically."
I can find two contrary examples in Matthew 5 alone: vs. 21-26 (especially 22); and vs. 43-46. Also Romans 12:14-21. This is the quick answer. I know there are many others throughout the New Testament.
There not really avenging themselves, there just getting the truth out. Nothing wrong with getting the truth out about somebody. Exposing them for who they really are. God bless!
I have no objection to getting the truth out, but it can be done more effectively (IMHO) in a less inflammatory manner. My point had nothing to do with vengeance, it had to do with inciting hatred.
