Tired of "politically correct?" Want an editorial cartoon that is quick to call out the bumblings of U.S. politics and cuts slack to no one? Pulitzer-Prize winner Ben Sargent is paying attention and making Washington have second thoughts about that little thing called the First Amendment.

This is a good time to remember that the first guy to draw Santa Claus as we know him today was also a political cartoonist ( Thomas Nast )

But there are a lot of politicians, from every party, who fervently wish that there was no memory!
At least in the minds of the voters, so then they would be free to flip-flop willy-nilly, without having to explain themselves…

Wait a second…they do that already!
Sorry, my bad!

And false memories, the ones the flatterers from Fox inculcate in the spoiled children they never disagree with…are the ticking bomb ending our Constitution-based culture.

The sad part is the short memory of the voters, more than the politicians. Note: Newt is NOT “Santa”.
Merry Christmas, folks. Whatever your “faith” think on the principle of peace, generosity, and caring for others, sentient or not.

It’s also good to remember that Nast was the antithesis of the idiot who draws this comic.

And yet, you are a slavish follower of the biggest flip-flopping, two-faced oligarch who ever made the White House his permanent residence. Amazing…

Dude, Newt is a “progressive” dream. His favorite president is FDR. If he gets elected president, then he’s surely going to keep us on the same course that we’re currently headed, so fear not. We’ll get to the abyss in due time.

YO..DIMWIT!!
Did you happen to see, and I Quote… “Politicians from EVERY PARTY…”
Oh wait, you are a follower of FAUX “News” so you automatically edit EVERYTHING you read, hear, or see to be sure it reflects the words of your “Dear Leaders”, Rusty Lamebrain, Billow Reilly, and Klondike Barbie!

Why do you post lies and then turn and run every time someone answers you?

You all have to excuse masterskrain today. The Fed-Ex deliveryman threw his newly ordered Ronco product over the fence and it broke, so he’s a little upset.
