Out of the mouth of Obama-cons
Bookworm on Mar 22 2009 at 3:18 pm | Filed under: Uncategorized
From a news report describing the usual leftist/statist suspects at an anti-War parade:
Bruce Yurgil, a cartoonist from San Rafael, was trying to unload 80 homemade T-shirts showing former President George W. Bush’s brain spilling from his head. The T-shirts were marked down half-price, to $10.
“It’s no fun being a cartoonist these days,” he said. “The only person I can make fun of anymore is Rush Limbaugh.”
I guess Yurgil doesn’t read the news much. There are lots of examples of “funny” things coming out of the new administration.

I’m not a shrink, but that statement reveals a lot. The “I can” tells me he’s got a little censor in the back of his head that tells him whom he can and cannot cariacature.
And here I thought “progressives” (statists), especially artistic ones, were fierce freethinkers, not controlled by anything or anybody.
What a silly little man.
On the frightful side comes this…….

>> Obama wants you to pledge loyalty to him
Isn’t that one of the tenets of fascism? To pledge loyalty to the Great Leader?
What follows that in fascism is:
- The necessity of national Unity in the face of whatever the latest crisis is. (And that Unity is, of course, to be expressed in support of whatever the Great Leader decides on as the solution to the crisis.)
- The suppression, usually by locally organized violence and threats, of those who dissent from the Great Leader’s programs
If you read up on Woodrow Wilson and how his administration and supporters conducted themselves in promoting their solutions, and how they instituted a climate of oppression and fear via threats against dissent, you will see near-pure fascism in action. I suppose you could point to the Red Scare as a similar fascist moment in our history, but Woodrow-baby got there first. Pure fascism.
Of course, I disagree with almost all of what Wilson did, while I find the threat that prompted the Red Scare to be justified – though the signed declarations of fealty to the USA to be an ineffective and less than proper response to the threat.
>>To pledge loyalty to the Great Leader?>>
Especially when that loyalty pledge is associated with the brand new “Civilian Security Force” which is being pumped up, while at the same time, all possible actions are being taken to reduce the size of the volunteer military, which takes an oath to support and defend the _Constitution_, regardless of who the head of state happens to be.
We’re headed for trouble…(as if all here didn’t know already…)
