Adopting mottos from a defunct Transformers ripoff with a Dr. Strangelove mindset. Great idea.

Pretty fucking American to me.

"Get Fat" would be a better motto for our cash.

"Come quite close to starving, while having a job and being derided for not making enough to eat, and "living for free" would be for the stamps.

It's still an interpretation, simply one made by important people. Every statement is an interpretation of reality, nothing more real than that.

With the current party, the motto would be something in the vein of "Do the world a favor and kill yourself already."
Crimes committed by Muslims will be proof of a pan-Islamic plot and Islam's inherent evil. On the other hand, crimes committed by non-Muslims will merely be the acts of mentally ill lone wolves who do not represent their professed belief system at all.
The probability of someone secretly participating in homosexual acts is directly proportional to the frequency and loudness of their publicly professed disapproval and/or disgust for homosexuality.
If Donald Trump accuses an individual of malfeasance without evidence, it is almost a certainty either he or someone associated with him has in fact committed that very same malfeasance to a greater degree.

Oh no, the government is placing a motto that reflects over the settlers of this country and this country’s history of being Christian.

Oh how heinous this motto is, being such a detrimental portion to peoples’ lives.

It's a motto inspired by the Red Scare. E Pluribus Unum is a perfectly good motto, and more applicable than 'In God we Trust', because many Americans don't trust in God. E Pluribus Unum is older as well, giving the conservatives something to root for. The good old days!

I prefer the Great Depression version "In God we Trust all others pay cash"

It'll be double Ironic because it's on a Food Stamp

The good ole’ days also had Christianity being important, lol

Excuse me for my nature today, it’s just I’m conservative, anti-communist, and Christian so I see no problems with this motto :P

Sure. In the goodest olden days we still worshipped the House Gods and the Divine Emperor, as well as the Invincible Sun. Republicanism was founded on Latin religion, damnit! We are forgetting our roots!
