What makes this a meme?



It's a meme (in the internet sense) because it takes an image or video (or sometimes just a slogan) that's already floating around in the popular culture, and repurposes it to say something else.

Also, it's flippin' hilarious.
Can the liberties of a nation be thought secure when we have removed their only firm basis, a conviction in the minds of the people that these liberties are the gift of God?

I think things have gone past the point of simple stupidity.
