Is the inclusion of a racial slur in this cartoon offensive? Well it's not as offensive as the United States government. In the 1940's the U.S. government deported Mexican immigrants in a program officially titled "Operation Wetback." Mexico was a huge part of it. During World War II the U.S. suffered from a labor shortage.... Continue Reading →
Lies! Lies! Lies! Yeah!
How ridiculous is it that a candidate's argument that he's an honest man, is that he's telling the truth when he says he really attacked his mother with a hammer? Let's take him at his word on that one and believe he really did attack his mother with a hammer. OK, Dr. Carson. I believe... Continue Reading →
Itsy Bitsy Teenie Weenie Debate Terms
The Republicans have submitted debate demands to the networks. These include: No "gotcha" questions. Basically any question a candidate can't answer, like how their math doesn't add up, is a gotcha question. Nobody can bring props which really disappoints me. I was really hoping to see Ted Cruz make balloon animals. They want a ten... Continue Reading →
Crazy Uncle
Sometimes the crazy uncle isn't living in an attic wearing a tin foil hat. But they're out there listening to Rush, watching Fox News, and believing Obama is coming for their guns and he'll destroy the Constitution to serve a third term. They consider themselves Patriots and they support our troops while wanting militia members... Continue Reading →
Hate The Way They Moderate
A really odd thing happened at the Republican debate Wednesday night that really upset the candidates. The moderators asked questions. The debate was hosted by CNBC and honestly, the moderators weren't very good. They weren't prepared and plodded along clumsily. Stupid questions were asked, which has happened at the other debates. They also asked some... Continue Reading →
Support For Unqualified Candidates
For months Donald Trump has been running around bragging about polls. He loved them. In fact it was all he talked when he wasn't insulting somebody, and sometimes he incorporated them into his insults. Now he thinks there's something wrong with them. Ben Carson is on top of Trump in Iowa...and while Trump was recovering... Continue Reading →
Politicize This
President Obama visited families of the victims of the Oregon shooting last Friday. There were protest. Why would anyone protest the president visiting families to express his condolences? Why indeed? Because they're mad the president wants to take away their guns. The protesters speak of their gun and killing furry animals culture and they believe... Continue Reading →
Meet The New Boss
Same as the old boss. What's a gaffe in Washington? When a politician accidentally speaks the truth. Examples are Republicans admitting that voter ID laws are only created to decrease votes for Democrats, or when Mitch McConnell admitted Senate and House Republicans only interest was to make Obama a one-term president. Then there was that... Continue Reading →
Paging Doctor Bigot
Dr. Ben Carson made some statements Sunday that he would never vote for a Muslim president. He went on to say that the religion is not consistent with the U.S. Constitution. He's right. The Muslim religion is not consistent with our Constitution. Either is Christianity, Judaism, Hinduism or Voodoo. Thomas Jefferson wrote in 1821 that Virginia's... Continue Reading →
The Republican’s Monster
I'm hearing a lot of Republicans complain about Donald Trump. The funny thing is, some of the complaints are coming from the most conservative of them. It doesn't dawn on them they created this monster. They've built a party with an atmosphere very cordial for racism, sexism, misogyny and xenophobia. It started with the Southern... Continue Reading →
