Charming Burka

The more I look at burkas the more I think of women wrapped in grave clothes or lepers. It is beyond repressive, it casts women as diseased, ugly, and dead. It is because of these wonderful attributes that a firm in Germany decided that it would use the burka to market its ideas:

…because it is often perceived in the west as a symbol of repression.

This is how liberals think, really. The choice was made because it was perceived as negative, not because it is positive. Kind of hard to find anything positive about wearing grave clothes imposed by men who are allowed to beat you. Narrowing the point is that liberals will choose to support bad things (such as burkas and Islamic law) that should be contrary to their beliefs only if it is in conflict with Christian values.

    Dear Jack:

    A burka always looks like Gort the robot in drag, yo know, from ‘THe Day the Earth Stood Still?’

    “Klaatu barada nicto, Gort?” says it all really. Er, no. When my son first saw one, he started screaming hysterically. Maybe if we all showed such a natural and perceptive reaction, we’d be better off.

    I’m gonna try it. Just like the Edward Munsch painting ‘The Scream’, eh? It really is a horror and no good will come from tolerating either the Burka, an SS uniform, a Red Star hat, a white pointed sheet or a Che the child killer Guevara t-shirt…they are ALL the same cloaks of “the Beast”.

    Smile but carry a licenced gun, I say. Colonel Neville.

This comment section is for the readers of Ft. Hard Knox, a place for political conservatives to share information about online activism. We are not "fair and balanced," and we aren't refereeing a "free speech zone." Intelligent, funny, and on-topic comments are welcome. Trolls, spam, and liberal propaganda are not. We may occassionally approve a comment with an obvious lefty-slant so that we can amuse ourselves by making fun of it, but most will be deleted. (Why? Because we're busy, we have lives, and when we want to talk to you we'll go visit you on Digg or the Daily KOS.)

This is a private blog, and we reserve the right to make up our own rules as we go along. The few comments which manage to squeak by our censors reflect the opinion of the commentator, and not necessarily the staff of Ft. Hard Knox.
