Non Sequitur by Wiley Miller for December 16, 2009

And the sad thing is, they probably would.

Topic now appears to be a closed book.

If everyone was like that, Danae, they would never accomplish anything in Congress.

Oh wait….

And then realiy snuck in.

why is it that the older I get that the ACLU does not appear to be working for me, an American, and my interests, but for everyone else and their whining and inane wants/needs or desires?

A very cultured young lady, our Danae - when she wants to be!

vice principal and director of detention? I want that job.

sounds pretty whiny to me loudmouthbass

Agreed spok27…. It would be fun for a day or two… lol

LordDogmore & loudmouthbass, the ACLU gets a bad rap from folks who hate whenever it challenges a sacred cow, but it truly only takes on cases where constitutional rights are affected. It would not even come close to entertaining Danae or anyone like her.

BTW, the teacher’s response might be, “Gee, in MY culture, we eat loudmouth children.”

hey, what ever happened to that contest? was there a winning entry? was it ever printed in the newspapers? you would think that there would be a link here for it.

njchris - I think we’re in the twilight zone between closing of the polls and announcement of the winner. If my old brain cells aren’t failing me (again), I believe the winner will be printed on Dec 17

It’s amazing they learn anythinkg at all in that class. Maybe Danae will learn something in the Vice-Principal’s office.

cdward has it right both times

The ACLU defends the Bill of Rights regardless of the qualities (or lack of them) of the suppressed. It’s lawyers who defend our liberties.

And that would have been a good comeback for the teacher, but in today’s teaching climate, she would have been the one to get in trouble.

Imagine having her and Calvin in the same classroom… Miss Wormwood would need serious medication.

Quick, find Danae a town hall meeting…….

The ACLU is very good at surrounding it’s agenda with rhetoric that makes it sound like they’re looking out for our rights when in reality they are following a very rigid agenda of suppressing them. See “The ACLU vs. America” by Alan Sears and Craig Osten. The ACLU is actually fighting anti-obscenity laws that prohibit the distribution of child pornography. I don’t know about you, but I don’t want that “right” defended.

ACLU Founder Roger Baldwin was an elitist who felt that only a small group of intellectuals has the capability of understanding and dictating what everyone else should believe. (ACLU press release, 11/4/1998)

Pay attention to foxnews and the townhall terrorists from the summer when Congressmen and women tried to talk about the health plan or any other Govt idea that didn’t fatten the wallets of fox news corporate masters. Thats what Wiley is getting at.

As Wiley has mentioned many times before: sometimes a ‘toon is just a ‘toon. And a great take on Danae as usual. She is the world’s most selfish child; she even makes Calvin look like a piker. If she and Calvin would only use their powers for good instead of evil.

I always thought that Jim Baker should have had to find a way to heal the deficit instead of being sentanced to 600 years in jail. Same as all the bank fraudsters, today.

Surprise !!!!!!!!

The tyrannical Leftist Educational Establishment ihas reared its ugly head………Only the Politically-Correct brain washing is permitted in our Public Schools.

Danae is going to be burned at the stake,,,,,,,,,,,I hope Capt. Eddie arrives in time, to save the day.

.

Danae needs to think before she opens her bloody mouth.

Danae needs a chair reserved just for her in that waiting room.

Such hard work to squeeze the cartoon of the day into the pet-peeve of the month (or millenium). Take up knitting, at least you’d have a sweater at the end of it, or a loooong sock. I’m just saying.

I think it’s significant that ACLU exists in both Danae’s culture and the “mainstream”.

Danae, I remember you. You were a student of mine more than once. I appreciate that now, but I didn’t then.

Poor Wiley, always having to remind everybody that the strip is not about politics. It reminds me when Orson Scott Card was asked about the “deeper meaning” behind one of his short stories (I believe it was called The Carjacking, or something like that) and he said he just thought it was a fun story. Not everything is a statement. Somethings are just entertaining.

Shaddup or send you to the principal’s office, Danae.

Quick, find JanSin a tea party……

Has the grannybot heard of the 1st Ammendment? Oh, well. This is her house.

Forget pairing her up with Calvin. She should get together with that Caufield kid from Frazz comic. They both like getting out of class!
