9. Doh! How did I miss that?

[2008]

19. I missed it too

I thought the concept was a cool reflection of V For Vendetta, but it seemed like a freeper message because I thought I was reading "welfare"

[Sybil_23mist]

5. It's Warfare

But you raise a good point. An aspect of what this banner signifies is that the US military is indeed the biggest recipient of welfare from the US government courtesy of US tax dollars.

REMEMBER, REMEMBER THE FIFTH OF NOVEMBER

(Traditional English Rhyme - 17th Century)

Remember, remember the fifth of November
Gunpowder, treason and plot
I see no reason why gunpowder treason
Should ever be forgot

Guy Fawkes, Guy Fawkes, 'twas his intent
To blow up the King and the Parliament
Three score barrels of powder below
Poor old England to overthrow
By God's providence he was catched
With a dark lantern and burning match
Holloa boys, holloa boys
God save the King!
Hip hip hooray!
Hip hip hooray!

A penny loaf to feed ol' Pope
A farthing cheese to choke him
A pint of beer to rinse it down
A faggot of sticks to burn him
Burn him in a tub of tar
Burn him like a blazing star
Burn his body from his head
Then we'll say ol' Pope is dead.
Hip hip hooray!
Hip hip hooray!
