Speaking of empires…

“First they came for the communists,and I didn’t speak out because I wasn’t a communist.

Then they came for the socialists,and I didn’t speak out because I wasn’t a socialist.

Then they came for the trade unionists,and I didn’t speak out because I wasn’t a trade unionist.

Then they came for me,and there was no one left to speak for me."

- Pastor Martin Niemöller

Uncle Joe: Best laugh I’ll have all day!

You’re using the same logic as Westboro Baptist Church.

“Jesus wept.”

What percentage are both pro-drones AND pro-life?

Logic eludes you. One has absolutely nothing to do with the other. And this from a member of the church that brought us the Spanish Inquisition and burning “heretics” at the stake!

Ted, looking at that last panel…..If I round up…..the 1% are suicidal?

No stat for foreigners in US? Might be cheaper than a wall!

“‘They’ are the democrats.”

I don’t get it. I thought the democrats were socialists. Why would they come for the socialists? I thought the democrats were communists. Why would they come for the communists? I thought the democrats were trade unionists. Why would the democrats come for the trade unionists?

I know you exist just to demonize democrats, but some internal consistency would serve your points much better.

This reminds me of Mancow in the Morning. He was a staunch defender of “enhanced interrogation” and pretty abusive to listeners who disagreed with him.

Unlike many others who espouse those “ideals”, he actually was willing to try so he could see for himself. He didn’t last ten seconds. I saw the video. He sat up straight and said, “Absolutely, that’s torture.”

It’s often okay if it happens to someone else. What WAS that “golden rule” again?

Who is this 0.7% ?

“Then they came for me,and there was no one left to speak for me.”- Pastor Martin Niemöller’They’ are the democrats."And, you are Napoleon XIV!

11 out of 8 people think statistics are made up.

It’s not OK

Guess those 0.7% are in the Tea party? The same ones who think carrying a Bushmaster AR-14, and using it on inocent children, is ok too.

ONLY 0.7% of the population is suicidal? Does that mean “at any given time” or “at any time in their lives”?

For who would bear the whips and scorns of time, th’ oppressor’s wrong, the proud man’s contumely, the pangs of despised love, the law’s delay, the insolence of office, and the spurns that patient merit of th’ unworthy takes, when he himself might his quietus make with sudden death-by-drone? ’Tis a consummation devoutly to be wished.
