It's me – SoINeedAName (aka, "Nameless" & "Surrogate") – and Lynn's Daily Kos cartoon of Bernie Sanders at Liberty U. from yesterday inspired me to post this:
(Be gentle – it's my first time posting a image file in WordPress – so I have NO idea WRT options for formatting it. And yes, I know that it's more like 80+% of Americans who ID as Christian – but it's just an Op-Ed Cartoon designed to make a point.)

Sorry, the comment form is closed at this time.
No only Jewish, but may have had dark skin as well!
Exactly! It's like that story in the past 24 hours of Ahmed Mohamed, abrown-skinned Muslim teen in Texas who was ARRESTED for showing his teacher a clock he built.
The neat thing is that Pres. Obama sent him an absolutely fantastic Tweet that included an invite to the White House!
I've signed two petitions to the school district today. Daily Kos also had a piece about how Da Vinci reproductions with European looking peole at the Last Supper affects the author and those who worship in their presence…
Thanks Nameless–nice choice and good job!
And Faithful America also has a petition to the mayor who apparently models the bigoted behavior the school district followed…
I have a coffee table book somewhere called "The Faces of Jesus" whose premise is that everyone has the right (not sure that's the correct word, but whatever) to see a picture of a Jesus that looks like him/her since Jesus is for and like everyone. And that, of course, is why the European images that look European. The art also extends that to the rooms, houses, villages, landscapes which are European. Had they been conscientious about also extending it to wardrobe we might never have gottten the idea they thought they were historically accurate when that was never really the intention. But I think I would extend the premise of the book now to add that everyone also has the responsibility to see pictures of Jesus that do NOT look like him or her in order to keep it in mind and heart that Jesus is for and like everyone. The image from the book which comes to my mind first when I think of it is a drop-dead gorgeous black Jesus carved from a single block of a rich brown wood, no added color at all.
And of all the times I love our President, I think I love him the most when he is writing great tweets like this one to kids. (Love the graphic too.)
I would vote for Bernie Sanders, a Jewish Socialist. No problemo. lol.
LOL Indeed Jim!
I do wish more people across the world knew this – those who hate everything that shows care and compassion for others (socialism!) and who SAY that they are Christian don't ever seem to have actually read the Gospels, never mind try and understand Christ's words and try to live them!
(I saw a picture of Jon Stewart with some First Responders today (17th) and he looked positively messianic!)..
I love what Mr. Sanders stands for and represents. I'd vote for Bernie in a Texas minute. I also, loved the tweet from Mr. President to Ahmed, it's priceless.
Also have signed petitions re: Ahmed's situation.
Thanks, Nameless for your post.
So many people in USA do not really understand that our country is already Socialistic!

I will foreswear the time-honored principles of fairness, decency, and respect by screaming unintelligible platitudes regarding tyranny, Nazi-ism, and socialism at public town halls. Also.
I pledge to eliminate all government intervention in my life. I will abstain from the use of and participation in any socialist goods and services including but not limited to the following:

The socialist Washington, Lincoln, and Jefferson Monuments
The government-operated Statue of Liberty

All other public-funded socialist sites, whether it be in my state or in Washington, DC
I will urge my Member of Congress and Senators to forego their government salary and government-provided healthcare.
I will oppose and condemn the government-funded and therefore socialist military of the United States of America.
I will boycott the products of socialist defense contractors such as GE, Lockheed-Martin, Boeing, Northrop Grumman, General Dynamics, Raytheon, Humana, FedEx, General Motors, Honeywell, and hundreds of others that are paid by our socialist government to produce goods for our socialist army.
I will protest socialist security departments such as the Pentagon, FBI, CIA, Department of Homeland Security, TSA, Department of Justice and their socialist employees.
Upon reaching eligible retirement age, I will tear up my socialist Social Security checks.
Upon reaching age 65, I will forego Medicare and pay for my own private health insurance until I die.
