38. Exactly. I can't believe we're wringing our hands over whether it's photoshopped.

Particularly when it is obvious that it is (duh!), and the point of the op is to convey a message, not present evidence in court. Geez.

This one of two reasons why the left is losing the messaging war, even though we have the facts and justice on our side. We're too busy standing around in a circular firing squad. The other reason of course is money. All most of us can afford is a virtual billboard.

It should be a real billboard though. I hope some firefighters' union plasters billboards like this all over Ohio, PA and Florida.
