They're not fighting for our freedom.

"To even question the active wars in Iraq and Afghanistan or the now-institutionalized worldwide military empire being maintained by the U.S. government draws tourrettes-like attacks from all who identify themselves as conservatives. "

The sad part is...

...that so many people will dismiss this sarcasm as the writing of some radical ingrate hippie who is a coward for not supporting Obama/Bush.

When the FACT

is: THEY are the cowards, because they are afraid to think for themselves and to stand out from the "hurd" (sheep)

"ha ha charade you are."

Your morals =/= my laws.

Now that is funny - well it would be if it wasn't true

Kinda of funny since listening to the radio on the way into work they have Lt Vance from the Ct State Police taking questions. Just listening to him you can here the love of power and the police state he so wants to be a part of. All they talk about is speeding, cell phones, texting, this that - all BS crap against normal people. Never talk of taking down rapists, murders, pedophiles, violent offenders with outstanding warrants etc. No - always about how you, the average, hard working citizen is breaking the law and how THEY are going to get you. Our state police get federal overtime grants to catch drunk drivers - yet I have never heard ONCE of federal overtime to go hunt down fugitives, track child predators, catch violent offenders. Nope- just overtime to go get us. Kinda makes you think.

So smart!

Ron Paul supporters are so smart!!!

Local Sharia Laws

When I inform customers that I am not permitted to sell them certain alcoholic beverages on Sundays, or any alcoholic beverages between one and five a.m. they act as if I am personally thwarting their quite reasonable desire to get as wasted as they want. Amidst my expressions of regret I tell them that I am bound by "Sharia Law" or that, clearly, "They hate us for our freedom." Often that elicits a laugh, but more frequently I get a blank stare. For much of the flock, even when it is their own ox being gored, they still don't get it.

Just gotta keep bangin' that drum...

I think we should send it the Romney and Obama campaigns

AND all of our supposed representatives! I think if everyone did this to everybody, that it would be like an awakening! What do you think!

Har-de-har-har!!

Very cute!

I just love it! It is so right on!

Isn't it amazing how people actually believe the government is their friend!

OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Reminds me of the Wounded Warrior commericials

Our neighbors and family are being killed and maimed at the discretion of the same Central Planners that are destroying our lives here at home.

It sickens me to know that these Central Planners (aka Kings, Queens, Barons, etc otherwise known as Federal and State Officers) can't even help those they sent off to protect those who are causing all of this mayhem.

They are helping us towards misery and question patriotism when we simply want them out of the position that allows them to cause so much harm.

If the government sees fit to trample our Rights and Privileges THEY should expect the same Rights and Privileges denied to them. The Two Party System is an Oligarchy. We are in practice OWNED by the Feds.

Central Planning = Central Authority = Central Ownership. If they assume the Authority to Plan our Lives, Property, and Labor, then they de facto OWN US.

hits the nail

hits the nail right on the head !!

Once the government makes

Once the government makes everything illegal and mandatory, or as I like to call it, reverse illegal, we can all ride the crimson road to serfdom where demanding humanity is treason and defending yourself is an act against the State.

How did I, an American, let this possibility become a serious reality? I am truly ashamed of my slumber but I'm excited to see the Sun...

Jefferson was a genius. He understood the relation between monetary slavery and the shackles of executive slavery. One causes your desperation while the other promises to relieve it, but both go into the belly of the same Beast.

I'm an optimist, in training. The urges for Liberty we feel come from the sensation of them being ripped away. I'm guessing the Founders knew this feeling all too well and they acted. As will we, and our children, if taught well.

Fact is all this "support"

Fact is all this "support" will require each and every person to HAVE to work years of our lives just to support the shakedowns that provide the "support". Along with borrowing from the communist chinese which loans guarantee more shakedowns for future generations.

Superb!!!

Right on!!!

Also great

I just love it!

What great satire. But, sadly with all of the laws and executive orders just recently passed this is what awaits all of us. Our politicans have sold us out.

I needed a little comedy after, reading about what happened in North Dakota to the delegates.

I wonder what happened to Russmo

His site updates drop off about 2006...he had some great cartoons. Don't see any recent sign of him online. Wonder if he's still out there. Wish he'd do some more cartoons!

I think the answer to your

I think the answer to your question is Rendition, or he was labeled an Enemy Combatant, or possibly even Insurgent; just a thought though. Maybe the answer is Drone Strike; really it could be anything. The government just has its ways of making people disappear, whom they feel are or have the potential to cause problems for the government.

Who are these guys?

This stuff is amazing! I cycled through lots of cartoons and got a massive dose of deja vu!
What happened, why did they stop publishing?

Anyone knows?

Fighting Overseas Thinking They Are Fighting For Our Freedom

There isn't much freedom left that they haven't already taken. The 'State' owns us lock, stock and barrel. Its just that most out there in slumberland don't know it yet..

Good post michael..

Thanks,

"E"

Not hardly even funny..just

Not hardly even funny..just true. As many millions as there are on the government dole, there are probably as many somehow involved in problems with the LAWS in some way or another...

Oh how I wish that

each and every serviceman and servicewoman could see this!

America is worth fighting for...."over there" is not!

" In Thee O Lord do I put my trust " ~ Psalm 31:1~

Many....

Of us service members already know. We have no choice in the matter. I know where the real war is and it is not where I am. It is back home, taking place in our streets and in front of our government.

I will support and defend the constitution of the United States against all enemies, foriegn and DOMESTIC!

May God be with you dadoria

Thank you for letting us know that, and always remember that
we will be here fighting for you also, doing our all to defeat domestic terrorism from within.
We will never stop fighting!
We want you to have something to come home to.
Pass that along to your fellow warriors!
We need each other.

" In Thee O Lord do I put my trust " ~ Psalm 31:1~

Awesome! About the troops, sign day is this Sunday...

...April 15th right? Our children and I made a large sign using poster board for each letter to spell "Troops LOVE(heart) Ron Paul" The poster board is white, letters are painted blue and heart red. We put yarn through punched holes and plan to tie it to the chain link above the freeway overpass. We may stay there a while holding other signs as the police showed up when we were there before and had no problem with it.

Haven't seen a post reminding everyone and it's this Saturday night that signs are to be placed everywhere right?

BTW, kids love making signs and can be creative, helpful and learn a lot while having fun.
