Chuck Asay made the comic is what it means :P

As for what the comic means, it points out that Obama isn't on the side of the Legitimate Honduran government, but on the side of the tin-pot socialists who are backing Zelaya.

Yes, the other supporters of Zelaya are such tin-pot socialists as the foreign ministries of France, Germany, Norway, Spain, Canada, and the United Kingdom, as well as the UN, OAS, and EU.

A decision must be made in the life of every nation at the very moment when the grasp of the enemy is at its throat. Then, it seems that the only way to survive is to use the means of the enemy, to rest survival upon what is expedient, to look the other way. Well, the answer to that is 'survival as what'? A country isn't a rock. It's not an extension of one's self. It's what it stands for. It's what it stands for when standing for something is the most difficult! - Chief Judge Haywood

Hm, not only does it invoke the well-overused ZOMG OBAMA IS COMMIE card, it doesn't even try to hide its racism. Yup, pretty up to par with conservatard batshittery.

Nobody actually apologized because neither of them wanted to acknowledge fault. The point of the beer summit was to cap the story with a press-friendly photo op and hope to make it go away. It's a little early to say but I think it may have worked.

This might not be such a terrible political cartoon if I had some idea of what the fuck was going on. (there's a dead sea cow that smells bad, but some people like the smell? Also, health care and "crazy spending" are somehow related to the smelly sea cow?)

They wouldn't be singing the same tune anymore if we started rounding up those militia wing nuts, I bet.

I had a guy at work today accusing me of "loving the terrorists more than Americans" because I said that I wouldn't torture a terrorist who was the only one who knew where a nuke was in an American city even if it was "time sensitive information".

He got all pissy when I said I had a hard time believing that situation would arise, do mostly to the fact that if we knew that he was somehow affiliated with a nuke then we would have more than one source at work. And since AQ uses hand-carried messengers now, nothing they do is "time sensitive".

Naturally, it may be used by evil men for evil purposes, but there are more good men than evil, and while the latter cannot be persuaded to the path of righteousness by propaganda, they can certainly be corrected by good men with rifles."

The entire scenario's bullshit - if the terrorist knows where a bomb is he'll simply hold out and tell the torturers bullshit until it goes off.

It is a technique perfected long ago by arabian mystics. A tactic that allows them to concel the truth. Our sources believe they term this art "lying", but further study is needed to discover how it works.

No shit, really? I totally didn't know that that's why torture is an unreliable method of gaining intel from noncompliant suspects. :roll:

Not long, I would think. How long do you think they're gonna put on the timer? Seems like half the time they don't even bother leaving the blast zone, if you know what I mean.

If the organization is competent enough to acquire a nuke, it's competent enough to change the deployment site if the main player is captured. It's basic subterfuge.

But but, they're dirty Ay-rabs! They couldn't possibly do think of doing something like that.

Actually, i do not find these terrible.

The first one is just dumb, but at least not outright offensive. By the way, wouldnt that still qualify as torture?

The second one actually is accurate - bush-era problems propably DO cause the democrats serious pain.


Of course, its totally possible that i am missing something.
