Thanks. My Dad was there on the beach when that flag was raised (Iwo Jima, that is)

Liberals ruin everything. They take what is precious and good and they taint it with evil, corruption and perversion

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

That is the way of Satan. Nothing new or original in his tactics, just perverting what God has declared to be good.

He told the Post that one of his critics suggested he alter more iconic images from history from a gay rights perspective.

What a great idea! Then we can hang them in every kindergarten classroom so all the kiddies will understand what America is really about. Wow!

I’m almost glad my father passed away in 2002 and didn’t see this and the rest of the Obama fiasco.

Excellent post !

[MeshugeMikey]

here’s “no way in hell” he meant his image to be scandalous, he told The Post.

scandalous? likely so

he wanted it... to be... Just Ferocious

Well hats off to your Dad and all those guys that day whose bravery is almost unfathomable, in contrast to these homo dweebs who don’t even deserve to be spoken of in the same sentence.

Commies on the Left love to say that the original Rosenthal photo was “staged” and “created for promotional purposes” (recruiting/bond drives) but those are deliberate lies.

Meanwhile a poofter appropriates the image and stages his own derivative work and the Left applauds.

Typical.

The beach at Iwo Jima was soaked in blood, not Astroglide.

The men who raised the flag didn’t even all survive the battle at Iwo Jima.

Since the homofascist version is 10 years old, it’d be interesting (considering the abnormally short lifespan of homosexuals) to see how many of the men in the staged shot have since died of disease, drug abuse, or suicide.

the shape of that “rock” were seeing in the finished “product” appears to have beem FAKED..so yes it may well have been meant to be a rear end

[RushIsMyTeddyBear]

Sick.

[IronJack]

A few Marines ought to take this colon invader to school.

[Kaslin]

They sure do

[RushIsMyTeddyBear]

I hate to say it.....but think the same about my dad. I miss him so.....but have a wonderful step-dad who served in WW2.

[Frank_2001]

Creep from the Compost states (LIES) that the image has been altered “countless times” . CARE TO CITE A SPECIFIC EXAMPLE, CUPCAKE????

[lavaroise]

Why didn’t they show the truth? Ie planting a flag post in their own arse? They are hypocrit puritans in denial.

Their picture does not offend me, it makes me LAUGH the kind of crap they make themselves believe about themselves.

That is how Megyn Kelly showed the pictures on her show yesterday evening
