Duffy's Megaphone

This bit of silliness came about as a result of the vet giving my dog a collar so that he would not chew on his incision after an operation. He, the dog, also chews his feet, and the vet gave us some medicine for that. I combined the two incidents with the visual of watching Duffy, my dog, wrestle with the collar, and this Kartune was the result. By the way; the collar lasted all of about two minutes before Duffy was able to remove it. Kiss that $25 good bye.

The Obama Doctrine

Well, this is blunt; but sometimes I get tired of dancing around an issue with carefully picked descriptions. Mr. Obama socialized health care, stated that he wants to "spread around" the fruits of other people's labor, and numerous other phrases and examples that demonized private initiative, and praised the collective approach to government, and governing. So far, he has stayed just short of outright professing that he would prefer the communist form of government. Instead, as in this Kartune, he just keeps laying down single pieces to be blended later. Of course he has a right to believe as he sees fit; and since he was elected by the majority of the people, he has a right to govern as he pleases. However, I also have the right to identify and describe his belief system as I see it. Ever since McCarthyism, and later the extreme leftist movement of the 1960's it has become politically incorrect to identify anyone as a communist, regardless of how overtly they profess that doctrine. We have danced around the issue by using the word statist, and socialist, and collectivist. Well, if it has feathers, and walks like a duck, and quacks like a duck, it's a communist.

Shovel Ready Project?

After increasing the national debt by over a trillion dollars, (read that as one million, million), so that we could start in on his highly touted "shovel ready projects", Mr. Obama has announced that, well, ...there are no shovel ready projects. Really? None? Hmm. So is the president a liar, or just incompetent? I guess it doesn't matter. Either way, we lose.

Big Game Gun

This is what I call my first attempt at Full Frontal Sarah. I knew Sarah Palin would be a great source of material for a long time to come; so I needed to begin practicing on her look. The mouth is not so good in this one. (of course, for progressives, her mouth is never any good). The impetus for this Kartune is from the 2010 mid-term election, wherein The Tea Party movement is having an enormous impact on the elections. Several R.I.N.O.(es) have been challenged and unseated by Tea Party candidates. R.I.N.O.(es) of course are, "Republicans In Name Only". Sarah Palin, being a maverick type of conservative politician, has been very instrumental in helping to unseat those entrenched candidates who have become so fearful of losing their job that they began to look and act like left wing democrats, or worse, Progressives, Democrat or Republican.
