...just curious what my fellow Grogheads think of this logo.



I'll post more on it later, but just wanted to get some of your reactions to it first.
Government is not the solution to our problem—government is the problem.   Ronald Reagan
The democracy will cease to exist when you take away from those who are willing to work and give to those who would not.   Thomas Jefferson
During times of universal deceit, telling the truth becomes a revolutionary act.   George Orwell  The truth is quiet...It's the lies that are loud.   Jesus Revolution
If you ever find yourself in need of a safe space then you're probably going to have to stop calling yourself a social justice warrior. You cannot be a warrior and a pansy at the same time   Mike Adams (RIP Mike)

I think it is a pretty dreadful logo. I saw it the other day and couldn't believe simply southern is using it

I figured people with some interest in history would instantly get it.  One of my sisters was visiting another of my sisters down in Georgia and came back with a T-shirt with the logo on it.  What the heck was Simply Southern thinking?

+1 with Brant. Dreadful is right.

All that is gold does not glitter,
Not all those who wander are lost;
The old that is strong does not wither,
Deep roots are not reached by the frost.

I want to know how much they overpaid some stupid advertising company to come up with that.

I'll bet you a dollar it was some conservaphobic Madison Avenue ad agency that deserves to have the pants sued off of it.

anyone got a link to the usage of that comparable logo from an actual nazi-affiliated group?  I know they exist, I'm just too lazy to find it

I'm hoping they'll declassify the names of the lists so I can make merit badges for them.

Speaking of which, what's the Grogheads equivalent to Eagle Scout?
