The "Civil" War, cont.

Sadly, despite the resounding Northern victory, the so called "American Civil War" (1860-1865) never really ended, as the cancer that was "The South" was allowed to persist, metastasizing into sharecroppers and Jim Crow laws and the KKK and thousands of lynchings. But then this aggressive Southern disease infected and took over the Republican Party - the very party that engaged their destruction a hundred years earlier. Goldwater, Regan, Nixon, and you have today's insanity, insto-presto in just the past 40 years (LOL I'm old). Legions of monsters, breaking down democracy and society across the country in pious fervor.

Somehow, despite desegregation and women's lib and gay marriage and so on, we've fallen under the sway of the Confederacy Risen, the Republican Party, the Southern Jim Crow culture writ large as "American Culture" and proving to be the doom of not just America, but the world.

What madness is this? And how can Earth escape?

FREEDOM down the barrel of a gun

Fun fact to learn and share: FREEDOM literally comes from the barrel of a gun. Every time a gun is fired, FREEDOM emerges and gathers about us.

If we ban or restrict guns, we ban and restrict FREEDOM.

Don't you see? It's so simple.

The FOUNDING FATHERS knew this in their HEAVENLY SOULS, and gave us the SECOND AMENDMENT, praise JESUS.

Know the risks!

A nest of Waifu-sans, particularly thick. Nests like this originated in Japan but over the last 20 years have spread worldwide. There could be a nest in your town right now.

Infection begins with a young man's sexual frustrations channeled into a cartoon, the obsessive watching of which causes full display of the disease, with the purchase and association with a "Waifu", or Anime Pillow Wife. Once infection has reached this stage the victim will lose most contact with society and instead group with others similarly infected, forming nests.

Be on the lookout if your young son has taken an interest in anything Japanese, as that is the hallmark first sign of infection.

Know your Lord

Just in case you're confused, this friendly Tea Partier has a simple reminder. Of course, Jesus was the son of God and Allah is the Arabic word for God so in other words this Tea Partier is blaspheming.

And that's why it's great to be born again.

From zero to hero

Charlton Heston. You might remember him as the leader of the NRA as it turned crazy, epitomized by his quote "I'll give you my gun when you pry it from my cold, dead hands".

A hero to the wingnuts, of course. America, personified. Get your damn hands off me, you dirty ape! But wipe away the fog of Wingnut mythology and remember the "Charlton" of yore.

Charlton marching on DC for Civil Rights.

Charlton protesting in OK for Civil Rights.

Charlton picketing for Worker's Rights.

What happened, Charlton?
What happened, America? Why did you go mad, infecting so many people with madness?

And what kind of name is Charlton? Sounds like prep school. Not rugged American gun owner.

Brace Yourself

Fair (and legal!) warning: It's gonna get much worse. By reading this, you waive all damage claims against Redshirt LTD.  Esq.

A taste of the terrors to come:

Missin' Mitt

Remember this guy?! Probably not. He was so stereotypically rich and bland and forgettable I can't blame you if he has already exited your memory. Here's some reminders.

It's Mexican Mitt! Fun fact - Mitt really is a bit Mexican, though of course he could not advertise that fact to his fungal based supporters. This pic was one of the glories of the campaign - Mitt on Telemundo, heavy on the tan spray.

Gosh, we never did get to see those taxes, did we?

Another fun fact! Mitt did not write a concession speech - as it was beyond conception that he would lose! Really, he believed that. His whole staff believed that, apparently. For example, Mitt made no travel plans back from his "victory party", assuming the Secret Service would take care of it for him. But the minute he lost, poof! No more Secret Service, and Mitt had to have Tagg or Track or Tacoma (his son) drive him to one of his homes. Oh, sweet schadenfreude - consider it! He sincerely, absolutely believed he was going to win, even though all the polls and all the evidence said otherwise.

Two days after the election, back in Cali (where he really lives), pumping his own gas. Sweet, sweet schadenfreude.

Romney-Ryan 2012 Campaign summary.

Yay! Free shirts!

The Elephant in the Country

So true. You start thinking for yourself, and you find only trouble. Better to just let the Preacher do the thinking for you. Vote Republican!

I like bashing the South as much as anyone, but it must be noted that these numbers (and so many more) are influenced by the deplorable conditions many African Americans find themselves in Southern states - all run by racist whites, of course. But these same deplorable trends affect poor whites too, but hey, vote Republican!

Think how warped and twisted you have to be to get so angry over the possibility of high speed rail. I'LL NEVER GET ON A TRAIN OBAMA!!!

These poor whites who vote - who live - Republican have been so bamboozled, so brainwashed by the dual poison of Religion and Racism that they will cut off their nose - Gladly! - as long as it means black folk will suffer too. That's their mindset, and what we're up against - a legion of angry, deluded white people manipulated by some greedy billionaires. Vote Republican! 

Their Fevered Swamp

In their minds, warped and twisted by at least three decades of propaganda, this is Barack Hussein Obama. The Antichrist. A Muslim. A Kenyan. A Homosexual. A Ni-CLANG. They can't stand him. Who's they?

Here's a Freeper - a member of Free Republic. Old. White. Racist. Angry. Armed. This man did not make the work of "art" above, but he no doubt agrees with it. And this.

Check this logic: The Republicans force the Government to shut down. When unpaid but still working Park Rangers try and close National Parks and other resources, they (via Fox) got outraged, and some Congressional crazies staged a sit in with some geezers at the WW2 memorial.

Just flying the Swastika cuz Barack Hussein Obama is such a NAZI. First (and implied Second) Ammendment! Another Freeper.

They still love Sarah - and they know Liberals just make fun of her because they're scared of her. The "Appeal to Heaven" flag is another Revolutionary flag that the Tea Baggers are appropriating. You can guess the meaning - OBAMA BAD!!! DEMOCRATS BAD!!! LIBERALS BAD!!!

Health insurance for the poor is clearly just like 1939 Germany. Well said, Freedom Fighter.

It drives them insane

Lovely photo of the First Family having dinner at the Kremlin. This sweet picture also drives a not insignificant percentage of Americans insane with rage. LOOK HOW ARROGANT!!!

A lovely photo of young Barry as pirate and young Mom Ann. Consider the ultimate "American Dream" aspect of this photo, as this was not a rich family, or a powerful family, but just one of the new American families - international, open, tolerant.

And this of course drives the Tea Baggers insane. MUSLIM! KENYAN! BIRTH CERTIFICATE! They're filled with hate, spewing with anger, all the while claiming a mantle of Christians. As REAL AMERICANS.

From the Right Wing Internet hive mind. This came out before the 2012 election and claims Obama's mom did porno. It's not true, of course, but what does truth matter to a Tea Bagger? Only hate matters. Only defeating the Other. And yes, this is now a belief among the 27%ers, the utterly mad. A poison in the body politic.

Miss me yetter?

Oh, remember those grand times! The insane and evil in charge of the country, running us into ruin while gloating, strutting, and tut-tutting any who would dare speak against them.

But even the hug of W. wasn't enough to grant John McCain the blessing of Jesus to win the Presidency and lead the Christian nation of America.

Fucking sweet moment in history, right here.

Goodbye, Wingnuts. Your time is over, and we are all the worse for your actions.

Save us, Vladimir!

Consider this level of insanity: The denizens of Free Republic - noted Rightwing discussion board - have gone so far around the bend that they now actively long for the tender rule of Vladimir Putin as opposed to That One.

Behold: How Screwed up is it?

Indeed. Very screwed up when you realize these Freepers are the former Cold Warriors of the 80's and earlier. The haters of Commies. The Freedom Fighters of America! St. Ronald Reagan's Raiders!

You younger folk might not remember the Cold War, but boy howdy do I, and these same guys back then. WOLVERINES! And now, NOW! They talk about moving to Russia to escape the tyranny of That One.

Insane. A choice quote, one of many:

I agree with you. I hate that SOB more than you know. Though maybe you like Putin more because he’s everything our Faux president is not.Though I never would have expected a dictator to be running things in the United States so soon.

They just want to be ruled by the white..er, Right dictator.

We're Not Doomed (today and for the next few months at least)!

Suck it Teabags. Your attempt to destroy the world and usher in a thousand years of Republican Jesus failed (this time!). Try again in about 6-9 months, if you would, so we can properly remove your sorry asses from the US House of Representatives, and restore a measure of sanity to America, and the World.

Also, have a tree full of baby bears:

Ah, bear picking season. Best part of the Fall. The best part of WINNING!

While Rome Burns

So we learn how Empires fall - by stupid people getting power, and being stupid. And thus today's American political scene: A bear ballet, dreamed up by Homer.

Which, like the nifty political drama for the Junkie, is funny! If not tragic.

Nuke the Whales

I am comforted, in some small way, by the fact that the Crazies have always been part of American politics. They just used to be shunned, and now they're in charge of the Republican Party. But that can change - that will change if the public and media hold them accountable for their insanity. Maybe?

Till then, Nuke Everything.

Praise The Feathered Raptor Lord!

Raptor Lord is a harsh God, but fair. He only eats when He's hungry. Which, admittedly, is often. But running the Universe  - including monitoring and influencing every single sporting event in the Universe in case one player/side is more fawning over Raptor Lord - is hard work!

Praise be unto Him. ROAR!

Remember Benghazi?

If you don't follow politics, specifically the state sponsored insanity that is the American Republican Party and its followers, you might not know what the heck is the significance of Benghazi. But rest assured, because neither do the Wingnuts who rage on about it. New Rule! If anyone you know brings up Benghazi in a sincere manner, de-friend them immediately. This belief is a touchstone for the insane Wingnut.

OMG! Employees of the American government died during a terrorist attack! What a conspiracy! What an outrage! Seriously, that's it. 4 folks, unfortunately, died during a terrorist attack on a CIA undercover base. But hey...

I'm not even blaming W. - shit went down, terrorism wise, in the years 1990 -2008. Lots of people died, unfortunately in all cases, and it's a damn shame. Do you hear the Wingnuts bleating about any of the above attacks? Of course not - know why?

He's "Black", don't ya know?

And awesome. Best President since Teddy.

Thrall to a system

This is a terrible joke, and I apologize.

Have you heard about this? Read about this? Wolf Blitzer (what a name!) played Celebrity Jeopardy a few years back and was terrible. He doesn't know anything, apparently. But then, you don't need to know anything to host a long running news program on CNN, the most trusted name in news.

Imagine a world where the most avowed Christians are also the most hateful people possible. What if - just asking questions here - what if Satan had actually taken over Christianity, and all Christians are really working on behalf of The Dark Lord?

Ironic!

Prosperity Gospel!
