Christian doctrine and Nationalism (of any nation or aspired or claimed nation) are highly incompatible. Christ spoke of a Church of all who sought salvation, and had little regard to the value of mortal governance or currency. I'm sorry, but imagery that shamelessly hybrids Christian and Nationalistic (of any nation) motifs is stomach churning to me. It's using Christianity as a vehicle for Nationalism, and thus subverting the Doctrine and Message of Christianity, to ulterior ends, using the Lord's Name in vain.

It's just a meme man. Plus, overall, America is a nation of freedom and welcoming of those in need of a better future, and a better opportunity for prosperity and a content life. That alone is quite a Christian thing to do in my mind.

Take your nitpicking elsewhere please.

I also never voiced any support or claimed my post was a direct correlation to Nationalism. IN fact, I consider nationalism to be a part of the "5 Big Bad Labels.":

1. Fascism

2. Communism

3. Nationalism

4. Populism

5. Socialism 

So I must say I'm not sure what you're on about. As is the typical case and reaction of most people when they read your posts.

But you have to admit, you post a few noxious memes that are easy to jump at.

Unless the meme is on a heinous topic that is terrible... but I think that many memes are meant to at least be a little noxious in order to get you to laugh. 😛
