ObamaCare Gadsden Flag...How To Riff Back


It doesn't really work as a visual parody because it changes more than one element, the snake and the phrase, but leaves the color intact. 

Here is a parody I did a while back which changed only one element:


I made that when I had access to better graphics and a color printer.

Here's an idea for a Tea Party retort:

1) Take the Gadsden flag, keep the colors, and the phrase.

2) Remove the usual snake image, and insert the Rod of Ascelpius:


3) Adjust the colors such that the white space is filled with the same mustard color.

The resulting image would symbolize a threat to thousands of years of health care with the familiar phrase, "Don't Tread On Me."

Finito

Has this been done?


Yes, it has:

Great, but requires too much understanding for an Obamacare supporter to get it, which means they would call it racist.

I thought you were assigning homework to ChipA.

Because I want a Red Sox font for Levity Lem.

The Red Sox are world champions the last time I looked.

The tea party, on the other hand... bless their hart ;)

It is good that you chose the symbol with one snake instead of two, like some fucktard in the government did.

Lem, are you literate in Spanish? Because your English sucks. What the fuck does a hart have to do with the subject at hand? Sober up, muchacho.

Red Sox? Isn't that the Yankees farm team?

Lem the artificially intelligent said...

Ha!

They take our players after they are pretty much done.

Actually they can't wait to get out of Boston because it sucks so bad. That is why everyone from Babe Ruth to Roger Clemens to Wade Boggs to Danny Cater to Sparky Lyle to Jacoby Ellsbury are so happy to become Yankees and escape from the shithole that is Boston.

Trooper York said...

The Red Sox only started to win when they started to copy the Yankees business model. Which is to spend whatever it takes to win. Of course they are hypocrites and point to the Yankee payroll but they are just as bad. So they should just shut up and play.

Let the team that spends the most money effective win.

Also please do not mention the Devil because he will show up at your door. Just sayn'

Very good!

See, now that there is graphics.

Did anyone else get an ad for Gadsden Flags Save 15-35%
at the bottom of the page? Google is freaking me out, matching the ad to post content and tacking it onto its comments.

Doesn't the Rod of Ascawhatever have two snakes intertwined with the heads pointing in opposite directions? That's the way I've always seen it displayed but Sixty's calling two snakers fucktards...no good can come of this.

The Dude said...

I named them.

Really? What?

This is Jose.

This one is Hose B.

"Another reimagining of the Gadsden flag snake."

@Meade: Close, but no cigar. There seems to be some disagreement regarding one or two snakes.

best ever

JAL said...

I can't see the first image. What gives?

chickelit said...

@JAL: I started getting the same problem so I changed the URL to a friendlier source.

Hope that helps.
