Sigh. No, I didn't Please pay attention. Since you failed that utterly that easily, there's no point in picking apart the rest of your ad hominem-laced post.
Cut and paste of YOUR contribution to post 13:
E Pluribus Unum. "In God We Trust" is 1950's PC pap.
1950's PC claptrap ~ 1950's PC pap. Minor misquote, not changing the substance of your remark: both versions are disparaging of the In God We Trust motto.
And you still never acknowledged that the 1950's provenance of the motto was refuted in posts 20 and 21.
And you still never replied to the point-blank question in post 88.
Let's go through the "troll checklist" on this:
1. Posting assertions directly contradictory to the purposes and spirit of Free Republic. (+) Check.
2. Attempted thread hijacking. Check.
3. Selective misquotation of your own posts, where the original information is trivially available to refute you. Check.
4. Ignoring direct yes-or-no questions from others about your opinions (see post 88 this thread). Check.
5. For the win...it is neither a crevo thread nor an immigration thread. Check.
Yup. Troll.
Ummm... are you aware that the dollar shown in post 66 is simply a modification of the one shown in post 57?
Yes, that's why I pointed it out. Post 57 showed the word "GOD" in place of the word "One" in a genuine one-dollar bill, and rearrange the words "In" and "We Trust" to be above and below it. So that the GOD assumes center stage on the currency. If you were really trying to make the point about the DID (deity identification)TM on the one dollar bill, you'd have photoshopped the orignal dollar bill and its small font "In God We Trust". Since you chose the image of the caricature of the Atheist's-View Dollar, my comment stands. As the late WW II Army Cartoonist Bill Mauldin said, "I build a shoe. If someone else wants to put it on and loudly announce that it fits, that's their business."
Wow. That's truly inspired rhetoric.
It beats the hell out of yours. And it was humorous. See post 87.
Cheers!
(+) See here for a statement by Jim Robinson. Note especially the parts about "pro-God", "God-given", and "traditional way of life". Belief in God and public proclamation of belief in God, even by major political figures in their official capacity, are traditional. And "In God We Trust" dating back to the Civil War era is (by now) traditional.
Your cutting and pasting defeats your own arguement. From Post 100:
Me: Wherein I point out that the national motto is "E Pluribus Unum."
You: ...and then call it 1950's PC claptrap.
However, as you yourself jsut pointed out, I said no such thing. From post 13: "In God We Trust" is 1950's PC pap.
So, which is it... are you just plain not very observant... or are you a troll just looking to screech and hollar? Given your recent record, the second option is clearly the more likely one.
You're a troll.
