AmeriKan Intolerance

I also see a lot of this where I am.

In fact, I've seen the same bumper sticker myself -- in fact, I had the same reaction as this author:


"America Tolerates Anti-Christian

by Harmony Grant

Recently in my ultra-liberal city of Portland, I found myself driving behind a car with just one bumper sticker. "So many Christians," it read, "So few lions." I wondered what could possess a person to adorn their car with this one homicidal sentiment-and then possess my community to let them drive around, unaccosted. A friend and I discussed later what other slogans might be put on a bumper sticker. Recently in my ultra-liberal city of Portland, I found myself driving behind a car with just one bumper sticker.

What if it said "So many Jews, so few gas chambers"? It could read, "So many blacks, so few nooses." Or "So many Muslims, so few Abu Ghraibs." How long would it take for a car with that sticker to be pulled over? Twenty minutes?

The double standard is evident everywhere....
