Tom Toles for November 27, 2016

Dead last.

Ayn Rand is a happy woman these days.

it’s a caucus-race.

It’s the RWNJ wet dream. Survival of the fittest, the ultimate death match. WW III, coming right up. And the next Great Depression. Many will perish, by many varied means; war, starvation, drowning, drought/thirst, name-that-catastrophe, suicide, terrorism. But on the bright side, a few will become trillionaires. Maybe they’ll throw a few crumbs your way.

Nationalism (tribalism) and religion, the two most dangerous things humans came up with to destroy themselves.

Talk about can’t draw elephants! India borders Turkey? Two countries separate Poland from Germany? No Libya between Algeria and Egypt? NO Switzerland??? Cartographers first ;-)

The down side of protectionism everyone else does it too. But how do you protect yourself from another company dumping below cost items like steel? It wrecked our own steel industry as it was intended.

Universal Declaration of Human Rights

Preamble

Whereas recognition of the inherent dignity and of the equal and inalienable rights of all members of the human family is the foundation of freedom, justice and peace in the world,

Whereas disregard and contempt for human rights have resulted in barbarous acts which have outraged the conscience of mankind, and the advent of a world in which human beings shall enjoy freedom of speech and belief and freedom from fear and want has been proclaimed as the highest aspiration of the common people,

Whereas it is essential, if man is not to be compelled to have recourse, as a last resort, to rebellion against tyranny and oppression, that human rights should be protected by the rule of law,

Whereas it is essential to promote the development of friendly relations between nations,

Whereas the peoples of the United Nations have in the Charter reaffirmed their faith in fundamental human rights, in the dignity and worth of the human person and in the equal rights of men and women and have determined to promote social progress and better standards of life in larger freedom…

It’s a little late to draw o-(b)LAME-a’s view of the world! And you forgot to write- “America Last”!

And they all have 100% Nationalized Citizens…

Canadians are more likely to say, “Oh, sorry, after you.”

Crooked Trump’s newest race war.

It is not borders which are causing the lack of peace,but the crossing of borders, intruding into the borders of others.The desire to place ones citizens first,within a nation has never caused harm.

First sentence, right. Second sentence, really?

Q: Where does that put peace?Ans: Finland

But first! Or was that, “Butt 1st?”

Got verb?

Sadly, too many commentators have forgotten … “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that ALL men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.” -— Seems that too few here apply these truths!

Deutschland über Alles didn’t work out too well either. Nationalism is a religion, same as Mammon and football.
