Conspiracy Theory

Reprinting the blog post from fredericksburg.com.

Don’t you miss the good old days when people usually had facts to back up their claims?  I find it oddly hilarious that there are people who still believe Obama is a Muslim (like that’s so horrible) or he was born outside the U.S., even though there’s not one shred of evidence to lead you to believe that.  People hate the guy so much they’ll believe what they want to believe just as long as it slags that guy (but they’re OK with Ted Cruz being born in Canada.  Go figure).

I was talking to a friend, someone I thought was reasonably intelligent, and he said I was “naive” for not believing Obama was out to take our guns.  Again, what evidence do you have?  Let’s see, you go on a conspiracy theory and you’re on the money, but if you go with the facts and political record then you’re naive.

The death panel myth was debunked as soon as it came out.  Has that stopped them?  Has that stopped Sarah Palin?  Or course not.  Palin might be the most extreme example as facts have never a high commodity in the Sarah Palin Universe.  It amazes me that even the most strident partisans can think of Palin as a serious, intellectual or even relevant person.  People who used to comment on this blog used to write I was obsessed with Palin.  No.  I’m obsessed with current events and the fact people still look to her, a failed leader, a quitter, for leadership.

And don’t get me started on the “War On Christmas.”  Ok, let’s do get started on the “War On Christmas.”  FoxNews viewers love to believe there’s a war on Christmas.  They also believe white people are discriminated against and the odds are against them.  Those poor white people just never seem to catch a break.  Oh yeah, they also refuse to acknowledge there’s a serious anti-women agenda coming from the GOP.  Meanwhile they nominate Ken Cuccinelli.

I feel like I’m picking up right where I left off.  Aren’t you glad I’m back?

This cartoon is that weekly cartoon just for the print edition.  There’s also a new website for my work which reprints the FLS and .com cartoons and blogs, but has a few other pages and will occasionally have an extra cartoon.  Go check out Claytoonz.com.  It’s still a work in progress.
