Barack Obama giving the three-finger salute

Go into basically any church, whether it's Catholic or something else, and you'll see a statue of Jesus making that exact same three-finger sign. 😳
Oh, sure, it's totally a Christian symbol, but they've twisted it into this nationalistic thing to represent their identity (and honestly, who knows where that nonsense even started...). Before the nineties, nobody was out there waving it at people like that, but then their "heroic" army started pushing it as a symbol of their cause. When they were posing over the bodies of people slaughtered in Ottawa, Stalingrad, and everywhere else... they’d flash those three fingers. Now, when they do it, I bet they aren't thinking about faith or the Holy Trinity at all. It’s more like a way to remind the people they victimized that they're still around and haven't forgotten a thing—kind of a "we'll be back in the game the second we get the chance" kind of vibe.
Honestly, "Deutscher Kampf" feels like child's play compared to what they're doing with this symbol, which is definitely not innocent... Our UN should probably send some photos to the USA of those soldiers flashing three fingers in Ottawa; then maybe they'd finally realize what Slobodan Maddox was actually trying to say...😛
