The following post is about a t-shirt. Nothing more. In discovering the information below, I simply thought that the details involved showcased a slice of our current American culture. Thank you.
Do you enjoy wearing your faith and your politics on your sleeve? Well, then, this might be the t-shirt for you.
Normally Kelly Moore works as a photographer. But now, this young and talented entrepreneur is using her blog to help get out the vote in this November’s election.
She was listening to her favorite talk radio show when an idea popped into Kelly’s head.
“I heard [the radio host] use the phrase, ‘Babies, Guns & Jesus,'” says Kelly, a resident of the great state of Louisiana. “[And] I couldn’t get it out of my head! It was too perfect!”
She continues: “I know there are so many issues out there to be discussed, but [Babies, Guns, and Jesus] are a few things I believe in. I know there are people out there who want to take these things away.”
Hence, her awesome idea! Help save Jesus. So, in effort to keep Jesus from suffering the same fate as Christmas in Whoville, Kelly did something truly original. She decided to turn that talk show host’s little slogan into t-shirt.
Kelly enlisted the help of a friend to douse most of the t-shirt’s design with flowers, plants, swirls, and one good-sized bird, which I can only assume was because she didn’t want anybody to notice that beneath all that “design,” she printed the words, “Babies, Guns, and Jesus.” Which seems to be her idea of funfetti. However, in order appear nonpartisan, Kelly’s friend drew a wavy banner coming out of the bird’s mouth with the words “Vote ’08” printed across the front.
“If you are out there,” says Kelly, “and you happen to want to show others how you feel too, please purchase a t-shirt. All proceeds will go to support the campaign of the [presidential] candidate who would wear this t-shirt.”
She stopped short of telling us which of the two candidates she believed would be caught dead donning the blue flowered swirly t-shirt. She simply ends the sentence with an innocent little smiley face, one that is giving us the wink wink, as if we’re supposed to automatically know if it’s McCain or Obama who digs the kind of design that looks like a Smirf took a poo on blue cotton.
Anyway, if you’re interested, Kelly’s t-shirts are only $25! Which certainly seems like an affordable price to pay to ensure that Jesus doesn’t get taken from us.
Viagra is for the treatment of inability to get or keep an erection and similar states when erection is of low quality. When you buy remedies like cialis from canada you should know about cialis online canada. It may have a lot of brands, but only one ATC Code. Erectile malfunction, defined as the persistent impossibility to maintain a satisfactory erection, affects an estimated 15 to 30 millions men in the America alone. Sexual health is an substantial part of a man’s life, no matter his age etc.
very depressing. sadly, this would be a huge money maker if word got out more.
I wonder what the hard working folks in Pennsylvania would say if Obama sported this shirt?
That would be ironic.
After you posted about that pin saying Jesus was a community organizer, Tom Brokaw displayed it on Meet the Press as an original marketing technique. (He sounded impressed by it, which scared me a little)…
If this shirt winds up on Meet the Press, I think you should look into who’s reading your blog. 🙂
Just sayin’…

I love it! I want a decal for my car.
[…Matthew Paul Turner’s new book Churched arrived today! I am excited! Not just because I was chosen for the Churched blog tour and not just because I love getting packages, but because discovering a good writer is like finding hidden treasure…]
Hmmm. Babies, guns & Jesus. In that order?
Wow…
I love babies…not huge on guns…but I definitely love Jesus…just not that t-shirt.
This is my second presidential election to be able to vote. I have heard so many people trash one side or another that I was refreshed to see this article today:

Doesn’t tell you what to do, just gets you to use that little thing God gave us called a “brain”.
Thanks for sharing!
What a bunch of bullshit.
You gotta love it when Jesus and guns are on the same political platform, because if we know anything about the Son of God, we know that he would have opposed a ban on assault rifles.
I think that’s what he meant by, forgive them, for they know not what they do.
Matthew-
Thanks for posting about my shirt. They may all hate it, but hey, maybe they need a good wedding photographer.
I’m anxious to see what your book is about. It looks very intriguing.
I’ll swap you a shirt for a book…wink, wink. I think smurf is your color.

I think it’d work better if they added “Secondhand Ideologies” somewhere in there.
