for our own hyper-patriotic made-up organization, like "Mothers for the Defense of Freedom," and wear them to school board meetings. We've let the RW co-opt religion and The Flag with their stupid self-proclaimed Patriotism and Godliness, and it's time to fight back. They proclaim themselves Defenders of the Constitution (But Only the Good Parts) (Like the Second Amendment); why can't we declare ourselves the True protectors of Mother and Baseball and Apple Pie (and the First Amendment)?

If we wore t-shirts advertising that we are the Good Guys, who would stand against us? (insert sarcasm emoji) We could even put a photo of Jesus in the background--you know, one of his elementary school Picture Days photos--or maybe the Ten Commandments (double sarcasm emoji).
