Michael Ramirez for January 26, 2010

You shall take bailout loans, no ifs or buts; You cannot repay the bailout loans until we tell you that you can;

Thanks for the payback + interest, but since we have also ‘loaned’ the TARP funds to GM, Chrysler, and etc., and since we do not expect those funds back, and since people in general hate banks … .

WE WONT OUR MONEY BACK - from you!!!

Piracy parades as propriety in political peccadilloes.

now we know the truth about his big buckin’ ears

Never much inspired by Ramierez, but the toon reminded me of this:

Ken, I don’t understand what you are saying. I can live with your multiple misspellings, but you make no sense. Take a deep breath and try again.

Charlie, I thought the of the same Monty Python sketch. Thank you for the link. They were amazing, weren’t they?

LOCO - You’re right, too many misspellings, so the comment deserved to die.

I’ve always liked Ramirez style, but, like many political cartoonist, he shows far more outrage then the subject deserves.

charlie, that link sent me to a video of poker player Phil Hellmuth!

^ So now we’re just quoting Glenn Beck verbatim, ANandy?

tpenna, my grandfather had that on a bumper sticker 30 years ago.

not a bad idea…verbatim or otherwise…attack ideas, disprove lies don’t attack people

The Constitution, the Federalist Papers, and etc. illustrate the rightful concerns about an omnipotent government - which is why much of the Constitution imposes limits on the Federal Government.

Those limitations however, have been abridged by crafty politicians and activist judges, to where the Federal Government is indeed the enemy within.

What makes 0bama different from the preceding abridge-rs, is the magnitude, reach and speed of the expansion of the Federal Government, that got most people unprepared, and triggered a genuine grass roots revolt - the Tea-Party.

I hope that he will ignore the groundswell, so that it will grow stronger still, so that we will reclaim America for Americans - SOON!!!

Magnaut, I hear you. My comment was meant to deride an attitude (a better word for what ANandy expressed than “idea”) characterized by conspiratorial fancies by associating it with a conspiracy theorist. In short, it was a two-in-one denouncement.
