Political Cartoons

On top of which even the EBIL LIBRL SOSHLST COMMERNIST President hasn't and probably doesn't DARE talk about cutting defense or getting rid of those stupid f*cking tax cuts. And Congress AAHHH HA HA HA yeah frickin' right.

From:

Also not shown: Bush and Obama giving about a trillion dollars to rich people running investment banks and car manufacturers to reward them for fucking things up.

Every time I hear someone mention how they want small government, less government, I ask them if they realize that the military is part of the government. I then smile and nod to their retracting.

From:

At least the military is mentioned specifically in the constitution.

From:

I've read the Constitution may times, and I still can't find anything about what percentage of the entire nation's annual budget should be allotted to it. If you've got a missing page nobody else knows about, I'm sure you'll be happy to share it here.

Bottom line: I believe in a strong military, probably just as much as you do, but let's be honest - there is an enormous amount of unnecessary fat and waste in there. It can very well be trimmed without sacrificing our national security. To just blindly support any and all military expenditures in the name of "patriotism" is both ignorant and stupid.

From:

I think people are coming around, just look at what's happening with the F-22. While I do love being in the military, we are pretty damn powerful already.

From:

I consider myself pretty pro-military, but I know waste when I see it. Your citation of the F-22 is a perfect example.

From:

Yes, if anything, I think they should be updating their older model airplanes that have been around for decades, like their refuelers. I mean they've lasted this long, and you can probably make them last another decade or more, but it seems every time they try to bring a new one to the table it gets axed.

From:

A military-buff friend told me (now this was 10 years ago or so) that most of our original B52s are still in pretty good shape. I can see needing something smaller, lighter, faster and doesn't show up as nicely on radar, but fah, those puppies were pretty perfect for what we needed 'em for.

From:

Ah, we'll probably be using the B52 until I die and then some. That plane has definitely lasted the test of time.

From:

Where in the constitution does it mention what percentage of the budget should be allotted to health care? Oh wait. Health care isn't even mentioned in the constitution.

From:

You dodged my point, and your "if it ain't in the Constitution it ain't right!" argument got moldy a long time go. Again, there is a ton of waste in the military budget than can be trimmed without sacrificing our national security. And at least some of that money can be put to use helping our fellow Americans here at home. A national healthcare option is a financial drop in the bucket when compared to the billions in military waste and/or Bush's ridiculous tax cuts for the rich.

From:

"We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America."

You're beyond ludicrous, you know that? I mean it, just a perfect fucking tool. Go wank to your G.I. Joe dolls, Captain Dumbass.

Funny, I couldn't find anything about torturing prisoners, either.

Listen ... do you hear his rebuttal?

From:

But next week he'll respond to some other simple query by asking me if I've found the million scientists who think global warming is a danger to mankind. He apparently thinks "hyperbole" is a ride at Busch Gardens or something.

To just blindly support any and all military expenditures in the name of "patriotism" is both ignorant and stupid.

Remember who you're talking to.

From:

Yeah, point taken.

From:

Yeah too bad Iraq and Afghanistan weren't mentioned in any of the budgets Bush submitted to Congress

From:

ygrii-blop.livejournal.com

Neither Iraq nor Afghanistan are specifically mentioned in the Constitution. What are we doing there?

(deleted comment)

From:

Korea I'm pretty sure is still defined as a "police action."

From:

Are those the annual costs or the costs over a ten year period?

From:

You honestly don't know the answer to that question?

Tsk.

From:

With so many erroneous figures being thrown around I though it was important to ask.

From:

Google is your friend.

From:

Didn't someone already post a cartoon that was pretty much similar to this one?

From:

*shrug*

I went back a dozen entries or so and didn't see anything too similar. I did post one of a guy feeding his dogs some steaks and lamenting lack of money a little while back, though.

From:

Eh, I think it was the one with the blimp and f-22 and the cap-n-trade cartoon. lol, not like it's really that big of deal anyways I suppose.

From:

The Internet is serious business, my friend. Just look at some of the brilliant dialogue going on above us right now. ;)

From:

Yeah that too. = ) also = \

From:

The internet is always serious business, every I log on it's like an action movie filled with explosions and drama burst forth onto my brain.

Whereas I log on expecting a non-stop game of Whack-A-Mole. :D
