A self-described liberal, award-winning editorial cartoonist Chris Britt nevertheless delights in skewering deserving politicians of every persuasion. Britt's sardonic, biting cartoons are sometimes controversial, often outrageous and always thought-provoking.

If you do a Google image search with the term “Leviticus tattoo”, you’ll find an image of a young man who tattooed the passage from Leviticus 18:22- you know, the one all the evangelicals quote when condemning homosexuality- on his arm. And in many of these images you’ll see a caption of some sort mentioning Leviticus 19:28, which forbids tattoos.
And that is exactly the sort of person pictured in this cartoon. This guy and his ilk don’t live by the Bible or follow Jesus’s teachings- they just pick and choose whatever parts that they think justify their own bigotry and hatred. But don’t you DARE try to point that out to them- they will scream with apocalyptic rage at you, for THEY are loved by God and YOU are not.
I don’t have a problem with real Christians- you know, the ones who actually read the WHOLE Bible and do their best to live by it- it’s the pseudo-Christian fascists who think the government should control and suppress the people they don’t like who are dangerous to this country and the entire world.

Troll: noun: A person who, on a message forum of some type, attacks and flames another member of the forum. A troll usually flames threads without staying on topic.

So who’s the real troll here?
Take the advice of your friend. If you don’t like what someone says, just ignore them. If they make personal attacks (such as you did) flag them.
(And no, I did not “flag” you.)
Ima has just as much right to post here as you. Or anyone.

Love the ’toon.
Just my opinion, but I think the Republican party thinks it has to have the Religious Right to win elections. This was the time for them to come out to vote, but it looks like they stayed home.
Time for the Party to make changes.

It doesn’t matter whether gay marriage is “wrong” or not, people should be able to excercise they’re inalienable right to live as they want to, as long as they aren’t bringing harm to, or abridging the rights of, others. The moral argument against homosexuals marrying, or recreational drug use, is no weaker than the one against racism. If racists want to hate “others”, express such hatred, form groups to express such hatred, it’s legal regardless of it’s moral shortcomings. The same accomodation should be made for marriage equality and drug decriminalization.

Yes, but he represents a hateful negative and devisive element in American politics. The policy of NO, of take my ball and go home. The tea party has marked the end of the Regan revolution. Fiscal conservitsm in the republican party is dead. They are now socially conservative and Randian nut jobs. Now I watch the losers on TV telling me that the Dem’s must come to them in order to pass any legislation. It’s time for the Rep’s to realize that they lost and learn how to compromise.

@HOWGOZIT
Ordinarily, I disagree with HOWGOZIT’s opinions on political cartoons, but here he betrays his TRUE conservative values — that if two people want to get married, it’s not the government’s concern (or anyone else’s) that they are able to do so.

Some people think they have the freedom to suppress other people’s freedoms. It says so in their magic book.

The feds need to dump marijuana from Class I, as it is NOT a narcotic, period, ever. Just like people’s personal lives on “marriage”, get some realistic views. Just like Prohibition was a huge, crime-increasing mistake, so to is the war on “pot”, calling it the war on drugs. Legalizing commercial hemp can bring HUGE benefits to America, saving our forests, creating job, and yes, even fuel for vehicles. As to “recreation”? Make it the same as alcohol licensing and restrictions, and focus on stopping the truly dangerous drugs, like meth, opiates, and black market prescription meds manufactured FAR in excess of legitimately prescribed amounts. AND, make medicare Part D negotiate drug prices!!

@Ms. Ima
You made me laugh Ima!
Very few people in the wedding industry are against marriage no matter who’s getting married. Or, in the case of an overly rich lady who had a ‘wedding’ for her dogs, what is getting married.
Not sure why you’re being called a troll for this post tho. Maybe we should just all hit the bong and think about it….
man.
Glad to see you have a sense of humor, makes me think you might actually have some sense too. ;)
just teasing.
Respectfully,
and perhaps full of horse poop,

I agree with some of the things you said. I couldn’t care less about what people do in their bedrooms, who they marry and what form of birth control they choose, and I think the government should butt out. But I am fiscally conservative so I usually stick with the Republican party because Democrats are off the chart for spending, but you are right about fiscal conservatism being dead. But Americans have come to expect goodies and don’t appear to care about consequences. We may be at the point that the party that promises the most freebies will be the winning party from this election forward.

As far as compromise, it sounds like you are saying, "Reps lost, Dems won, so compromise means Dems get their way.
