FIRE!!! no seriously what's with the fire logos?

[underpants]

Cruz has the flaming turdball or burning flag flame - whatever it is

And Rand Paul has a flame logo as well.

I am guessing it is a flame of Liberty (Rand's) message or a "I'm going to burn DC to the ground !!!" (How very English of them) message.


--if someone could assist me by posting the logos I would appreciate it. Troubles on copy/paste on this phone--

9. That's not it

(For all you civilians: These are Vietnam War base-camp latrines...they took an old Agent Orange barrel, cut it in half and used the halves as catch basins for outhouses. Each unit had a roster for the duty of dragging the barrels out of the latrines, putting diesel in the barrels, setting them on fire and stirring until the material in the barrel had been burned up. If you'd ever wondered how the term "shit list" was coined...well, now you know.)

11. From the Cruz link:

Debbie Millman, chair of the Masters in Branding program at the School of Visual Arts in New York, agreed that the optics were puzzling.

"SO MUCH needs to be said about this," she told Business Insider about the Cruz logo.

"I think the logo is terrible, for two reasons. First: Really? He's running for President and this is the absolute best he can come up with? It's so ho-hum, it is so predictable and boring, that the immediate impression it projects is YAWN. Second: So the flame includes a burning flag? Isn't that illegal?"

3. Maybe it's code linking to these guys

https://www.thefire.org/

This is an older "free speech" organization that focuses on the Republican issues - resistance to "political correctness", Men's Rights Activism, "religious liberty", etc.

5. Kissing Fundie Ass

A lot of the wacko Pentecostal religion nuts use fire in their logos. That's at least why Cruz is into it, Rand Paul is probably just copying what Cruz because he's never had an original thought in his entire worthless existence.

8. Yes

I should have put that in the OP. It's not just Pentacostals - Cruz announced at Falwell's Liberty U whose sports teams are called The Flames.
