    What? Is he saying that all the cons are nothing but stupid animals with a heard mentality? Hit it right on the nose that time Asay. Bravo!

    I wonder what 2012 will look like? Hopefully we will not have to choose between some one with all flash and no bang, and someone old and pretending to be all that by having a younger women for a side kick.
    At least we did not have the master of politico running, she would not have had all these green self glorified mistakes the big O has had.
    But Like I keep saying we had to go thru Carter in order to get RR.

    Interesting that it’s recognized Bison bison is native to North America (there aren’t any “buffalo”). Asay doesn’t recognize that right-wing ranchers and mineral exploration may well eradicate Bison soon. The threat does not come from the railroad lines that are still being removed from the land the “rail” companies got for free, and are now using for mineral withdrawal.

    It was also the railroads that laid waste to bison populations, to starve out the real “Native Americans” and make way for sodbusters and land thieves- the bison lost, as did the logic in this tune, as in the same one Asay’s singing.

    Wait til you see those bison scatter when they see the train coming! (Pity the slow ones.)

    You don’t know bison, bro. The first three panels of the cartoon depicted them quite accurately..

    I’m tellin’ ya, a herd of bison will NOT allow themselves to be buffaloed! ;D

    Unfortunately, there have been NO bison it VA or NJ for a loooong time. Sheep yes.

    Actually , scooter, am familiar with bison.When you’e seen someone stupid enough to get too close gutted by one, it gives you a new appreciation. And oldie does better depict the right species for the followers of the “right”.

    Bison could stop trains for three days on the prairies. It would take that long for the herd to pass.

    What the bison represent is clearly labeled - the 2009 election results building towards the 2010 elections. The bison are the native - founding American values that made this land great. The Obama Express is running head-on into these values that may strand his train for his remaining three years in office.

    you actually have Asays original intent down pat.

    Too many posters pile on the own distorted baggage on the toons.

    greatblueGenius_badge said, 11 days ago

    Of course, the cartoonist is too stupid to know that the railroad led to the almost total extinction of the bison!!

    The only reason that I read Asay is to get some insight into the weird minds of the far right.

    Obama fits the Casey Jones part quite well. “Driving that train, high on cocaine”.

    scottfreitasGenius_badge said, 11 days ago

    Excuse me, oldle? What did I “add?”

    Why do you think I said I was standing right in the middle of that herd? Is there ANYONE who catches more grief in these forums for defending historical (pre 1960s) American views than myself? And why do you think I stated that this was the most abstract cartoon I could remember Chuck drawing? (which it is; grats on charlie for picking up on it, as well)

    I know you think you’re my moral and intellectual superior, there, grandfather, but you might try reading my words a little bit more carefully… :/

    I entitled the cartoon “Train Wreck” because I know full good and well Obama will not stop for the “bison”; even knowing he would surely derail, he would do exactly as Asay depicted: plunge full speed ahead toward his own doom.

    Jimmy Carter Two, comin’ through!! (blows train whistle)

    Charlie, which of these ‘founding American values’ do you refer to? Slavery? Well the Republican party was founded by people intent on eradicating that particular abomination. Only White male adults are allowed to vote? Sorry, but THAT value is long gone. Government should stay out of private affairs? Sorry, that was gone before the country was a century old. Licensing privateers (pirates)? Well, that’s still with us, but the modern term is ‘investment bankers’.

    SCOTT: As one who frequently agrees with your opinions, I feel compelled to tell you why you lack any credibility, and why your posts are looked at with derision by both the left AND the right.

    It’s not the fact that you look at the world as a fundamentalist Christian. Many on this site go on and on about their interpretation of the Bible. I’m one of those atheists that believes this country was founded on Christian values, believes the Constitution says “freedom of Religion”, not “freedom FROM Religion, and have no problem with God in the public square. So for me, that’s not it.

    On the other hand, I think if you had your way, you would force your Christian beliefs on others, which bothers the he!! out of me.

    But most of it stems from the fact that you are a misogynist. Nobody in the 1950’s was calling for the repeal of the 19th Amendment. Only a moron would argue that equal rights for women (and minorities) is a bad thing, yet you constantly do. And while I can agree that the pendulum has swung too far, and American culture has become too “feminized”, you see no benefit to the suffragette movement at all. Women’s movements have been responsible for good policy– such as child labor laws, and bad policy, such as the Volstead Act, which ironically I’m sure you would have been behind, since it was supported by the clergy of the day.

    Equal pay for equal work: good. An evolution that’s led to the necessity of a two earner household: bad. A women’s right to decide on work and career or home and family: good. The disolution of the nuclear family: bad. See how it works?

    There’s nothing wrong with longing for the values of the 1950’s. But you look at it through rose colored glasses. There were problems then, too. There were “blacks only” water fountains, for god’s sake!. (To be fair, I’ve never read a racist post from you.) There have always been homosexuals. Life was never like Father Knows Best.

    If you toned down the religious and women hating rhetoric, you might have some credibility. But, alas, I know you can’t.

    So while you occassionally, even frequently, have a good point to make, this is why nobody takes you seriously.

    Just my two cents.

    And dumb beasts they are. They have no moral base, no political or religious understanding, no comprehension of ethics or morality. They vote on one principle only – what’s good for “me.” Which means they vote according to their WALLET.

    How many election campaigns have centered around the economy. Meanwhile we continue to murder babies en utero and give sodomites the “right to marriage”. These brute beasts would vote for the Devil himself if he would just keep their bank accounts flush and happy.

    Best example of this: George the Shrub, previous inhabitant of the White House and leader of duped millions through the lies he told to steer us into a war we did not want nor need in Iraq.

    Dumb beasts? You bet they are, and they deserve everything that they get for being so willingly stupid.

    So what express are you on, Scottie boy? The “Bush is right even though he lied through his teeth to us” express?

    Obama is no prize package, nor are any of the leftist misfits in the Demoncratic Party. But I have a sickening feeling that you would welcome another 4 years of Bush lies and war that we neither want nor need.

    sheep on the track! Aren’t christians called “sheep” several times in the Bible?

  21. DrCanuck

    DrCanuck said, 11 days ago

    Sheep, yes. They are sheep who need a shepard, being incapable, apparently, of conducting their own lives. Further, they are encouraged to spend their lives on their knees as opposed to standing upright like men and women.

  22. IrishEddieOHara

    IrishEddieOHara said, 10 days ago

    Standing upright means that you created your own self and there is no higher power to Whom you owe fidelity?

    Doc, when you can create a universe ex nihlo, then you can stand up and bray at the universe. But since you are a mere dot (and a very, very small one at that) in the universe, it would behoove you to have just a tad of humility.

  23. DrCanuck

    DrCanuck said, 10 days ago

    “Standing upright means that you created your own self and there is no higher power”
    It means nothing of the sort. Some grovel on their knees in fear of the gods; some stand upright and face the world as it is, unafraid.

    scottfreitasGenius_badge said, 9 days ago

    All of humanity is called “sheep” by God. He didn’t do it to flatter us, either.

    Sheep without a shepherd are easy prey for predators. Jesus is the Good Shepherd, who would even go so far as to lay his life down for the sheep, if need be.

    I love my Shepherd. I observe the lives of my fellow sheep who try to live in the wild on their own and I never see anything to convince me they’re better off. I see plenty of them die prematurely, or torn to pieces as prey. Mostly they just blunder about unthinkingly with their rumps covered in dried sh-t, eating and drinking and mating and sleeping. Behaving as if they are immortal….

    The Bible PROMISES Canuck, that there will be a day when EVERY knee shall bow, and every tongue will confess, that Jesus Christ is Lord. Some will be ecstatic saying this, and others will be filled with rage, or sadness, or regret, or….

    What will you feel when YOU do it? Don’t waste any smart-ass replies, either. Just think about it quietly, is your best bet, imo. :/

    scottfreitas - Somehow I have a feeling that you are in for one nasty surprise come “Judgement day”.

    tpennaGenius_badge said, 9 days ago

    DrCanuck & Corosive Frog, I like you two. Really I do. But please stop lumping in all Christians with brainless thugs like scottfreitas. You’ve both been around long enough to read posts by cdward and myself (among others) that demonstrate that real Christianity is nothing like the fool’s gold those other guys have found.

  27. DrCanuck

    DrCanuck said, 9 days ago

    tpenna, you are quite right and I apologize if I have offended you with my over-generalizing. Please believe that I am not anti-Christian for a moment; I am simply anti-ignorance.
    (And as a one-time seminary student and Biblical scholar, I am well aware of what real Christianity is.)

    omQ RGenius_badge said, 9 days ago

    tpenna: Your, Motivemagus and cdward’s posts I respect. Those of these pseudo Christians I do not.
    Unfortunately for you, their words of hate taint those of your faith. It is beyond their comprehension that their vitriol is not unlike the vitriol of the fundamentalists of the very religion they criticise and spew hatred at.
    I can imagine followers of other faiths with similarly weak minds as theirs reading their words and coming up with similarly hate-filled words against your faith.
    I often hear folks wail and ask why the moderate Muslims do not speak up against their fundamentalists.
    I also imagine their words are equally drowned out by the far louder ranting and ravings of the fools, not unlike those of moderate Christians.
