Credo
"Sign on, young man, and sail with me. The stature of our homeland is no more than the measure of ourselves. Our job is to keep her free. Our will is to keep the torch of freedom burning for all. To this solemn purpose we call on the young, the brave, the strong, and the free. Heed my call, Come to the sea. Come Sail with me." -- John Paul Jones
"Pardon him, Theodotus; he is a barbarian, and thinks that the customs of his tribe and island are the laws of nature" --George Bernard Shaw, "Caesar and Cleopatra"
"And those who were seen dancing were thought to be insane by those who could not hear the music."--Friedrich Nietzsche
"A kind Providence has placed in our breasts a hatred of the unjust and cruel, in order that we may preserve ourselves from cruelty and injustice. They who bear cruelty, are accomplices in it. The pretended gentleness which excludes that charitable rancour, produces an indifference which is half an approbation. They never will love where they ought to love, who do not hate where they ought to hate."--Edmund Burke
"Μολὼν λαβέ" -- Leonidas
"Blogito Ergo Sum" -- Neptunus Lex
The poor babies just can’t take what the dish out. Actually, the picture is hilarious and quite apropos. Too bad the truth is so bad for the left.
Wow, after 8+ years of trashing W this wimp whines about a caricature that’s a fairly accurate portrait of Dear Leader?
Personally, I’m looking at calling up a friend that does T’s and seeing if I can get a 4 color of that.
Gmac, I’m not much of a hater, myself. I can oppose Barry’s administration as hard as I can without throwing mud. That is to say, I really don’t see a link between the Joker and Barry Obama.
On the other hand, the idea is rather clever in that the image introduces hypocritical rage in devoted Obama fans, as underlined by the above linked post. All you have to do is ask “But, it was funny when it was Bush, right? Isn’t dissent patriotic?,” then watch their brains implode.
I do like the idea of a t-shirt. Pity we don’t know who’s actually producing the posters.
I don’t see the link, either. But I do love the revealing reactions it’s getting.
I support the President. Just none of his policies.
It’s not about humor, it’s about dissent. That’s what makes it important enough to attack so vociferously.
It was fun to watch Joe Scarborough tear Eugene Robinson apart this morning over this piece of published tripe. Joe effectively trashed the opening sentence, pointing out Eugene’s selective memory — which ignored this and this and this.
Selective outrage isn’t the exclusive province of one side or another. It is just that one has a larger megaphone.

I forced myself to watch that little tete a tete this am only because I operate under the “know your enemy” rule, but is there any more insufferably smug lefty around than Robinson? (well, Joe Conason, Marcos Moulitas–KOS–and a few other dozen, I can think of actually) I’ve gotten to the point with him where he has become practically unwatchable.

Consider me ‘easily amused’, but I took that picture and ordered first-class postage stamps with that image at http://www.pictureitpostage.com/
We’ll wait and see if it is ‘approved’ and I get the stamps.
If I do, they will be affixed to every piece of mail sent to the federal govt.
Cheers!
