I know this is old news, but I just saw this picture again and it cracked me up so much I figured it merited a repost :

This picture is a lot funnier if you imagine that Washington and Lincoln are praying right before they nail Bush to that cross behind them. What I find especially strange about this site is that the only way you can buy this picture is as a lithograph, but (oddly enough) you can’t get this picture airbrushed on a jean jacket. Don’t they know their audience?

This is a perfect example of the kind of religious co-opting of patriotic symbols that Kynn of Shock and Awe has written about quite a bit. I guess there’s nothing more American than bowing your head and praying to God. Not the (lower-case “g”) god that the terrorists kill people for. No, we’re talking about the American God. The one they talk about on the 700 Club.
