Ted Rall for June 24, 2013

Of course there are things our government does that they can’t publicize to the world in order to insure our safety.But, that’s why you must have a Prez who is honest and trustworthy….

Box of historyWill tell us all that happenedJust an empty box.

There once were some states called United,Whose opinions were greatly divided,These differences playedWell for those who were paidTo keep everyone fully affrighted.

Our president Barack Obamaonce killed off a bad guy Osama.But look out! New villains!More spying and killingsare needed to increase the drama.

You’re preachin’ to the choir, Ted, tho it’s an empty loft…we both know this kind of fuckery has been going on for a long, long time. Even if it wasn’t Shakespeare who said it, we gotta kill all the goddam lawyers.

And yet even George W Bush refused this much accountability. Like it or not, Obama is at least a step BACK to legal operations.

If anyone wants to know what our “secret agency” does, just visit its web page where it tells you.

Shhhhh! Keep quiet!! It’s a SECRET!!

The democrats have been doing better in the polls since 2008, I personally would thank the annexation of bush era policies, and the fact that to counteract a democrat move to the right, that the republicans upped the anti in terms of attacks

( The republicans didn’t move much, just simply got more vitriolic over gaps between parties that grew smaller, hence the irony that as parties move closer and closer politics becomes more polarized)

Now one might hope that one party or the other decides to try and run on civil liberties beyond how many dollars you have in your pocket, however civil liberties tend to not be as feelgood, tangible or easily spinable as the economy which can be portrayed in any light one wishes and where you can simply state you want a better economy

I believe he meant Lyndon B Johnson

Excellent cartoon, Rall. Clever poetic comments jrmerm and MiepR. Improves my morning.
