In light of recent investigative reports from the Daily Caller that reveal close coordination between Media Matters for America and the White House, BigJournalism and BigGovernment have undertaken the task of revisiting some of our prior reporting on the media watchdog group and our list of its donors. We thought...

Like Rome, we are about to become a defunct civilization as well.
Democracy never lasts long. It soon wastes, exhausts and murders itself. There was never a democracy that did not commit suicide. ~ John Adams
"We must all hang together, or assuredly we shall all hang separately"
Benjamin Franklin August 2, 1776
Folks, we are left with few choices and very little time to act.
that's why the U.S. is a Republic, right? The "democracy" part refers to smaller towns and when issues are decided by referenda.
Cake anyone?
"we are Devo"
not just least qualified, but also unqualified.
The distinction is important. If they were only least qualified, they might still be qualified (sort of like the guy who graduates last in his class at medical school). These guys would not have even finished grammar school…
Wouldn't it be nice to replace your "democracy" above with "democrats"?
Oprah ate it all… candles, too.
Sounds about right to me
Never give up, never give in. Expose voter fraud by ACORN & their name-changed sites. Fight against Amnesty. Legal Amnesty only. Expose partnership with Mexico and Obama. Is it good for America?
The end is near either for the progressive statist or the appreciative lovers of the Constitutional Republic. I hope and pray that the looming chains of oppression do not invade our liberty. For liberty lost is never recovered without those among the willing to bind together and pledge their lives, their fortunes and their sacred honor. For the enemies of our Constitutional Republic will do whatever it takes to subdue their opponents. The statist have no shame nor honor.
Soon the coming election will vet which way we are headed.
Re the last two panels: It has always been thus. Herman Wouk, writing in his World War II epic, War and Remembrance, takes readers on a lengthy tour of the Oak Ridge National Laboratory along with the novel's protagonist circa 1944. The place had tens of thousands of workers and their families, and not one of them had any idea what they were working on thanks to the extreme compartmentalization inherent in the Manhattan Project. So, during idle time, employees' minds naturally drifted toward speculation about the purpose of their employment. Among the more popular suppositions was that they were involved in manufacturing the front ends of horses intended for shipment to, and final assembly in, Washington, D.C.
There's absolutely nothing new under the sun, is there?
"This is a horse's ass."
Bears repeating.
Bullshit. REal Americans won't let it happen.
Cartoon of the week…
Political tags – such as royalist, communist, democrat, populist, fascist, liberal, conservative, and so forth – are never basic criteria. The human race divides politically into those who want people to be controlled and those who have no such desire.
Robert A. Heinlein
The comic strip was entertaining, but I don't know if I buy into "collective guilt " as the reason for the demoCRAP stranglehold on government. Sure there's still a few "cotton field" apologists, but the fact that the Republicans did a pretty good job of emulating progressives while they had control didn't help their cause. Add to that the fact that American voters for the most part are lazy, most people couldn't tell you how their Rep's voted on different issues so it comes down to "what's happening today", not "how the hell did we get to this point today" !!!
We have a "Federal Immigration Law" enforce it ! Mr.Obama! It states that ILLEGALS ARE TO BE DEPORTED!
That should be easy for even you to understand! Clean the Country out. Oh and stop making agreements with Mexico without letting "We the People" know! Are you trying to make Mexico and the U.S. one Country? WE THE PEOPLE DO NOT WANT THAT!
We will remove all of you from Office. Don't underestimate the power of the people in The United States! You have not yet succeeded in the Fundamental Transformation of the US into Communism.
Excellent comic strip. Reminded me of dinosaur fossils we discover and the future will dig up the progressive horses asses that sent us into oblivion. Remember, we are the only free republic left on the planet. Not a very comforting thought.
I'm not that pessimistic. I see the reality that Obama, a Muslim socialist snuck into the White House and now that we've figured it out, we need to get him and his toxic team out, ASAP!
We will succeed because there are 50 States Attorney's General and many more Legislators that are livid about this Socialist take-over. We will prevail. It will be an uphill battle against socialists, but I believe that The Constitution and The Bill of Rights, and the Declaration of Independence combined will overcome Marxists in the end! We will seal up the US, especially blocking Mexico OUT!
Lets rip the House of Obama down with Legal Actions from every State, and with the Nov. elections, and with Impeachment proceedings against Obama for Dereliction of Duty, Crimes against a Nation, Treason, and whatever else the attorneys briefs show! and STOP THE Alliance with MEXICO! It is not good for US!
– - -Investigate all of Obama's alliances and deals. There should be enough data there for 5 Impeachments!!
Look in the reflections off the teleprompters. This is a horses ass…..or a donkey……we're still up in the air on that one.
Is that based upon the all-too-realistic comic piece, or upon a large number of the teenagers that you have seen recently?
Let's see what November brings before you give up on U.S..
I would certainly hope so, James, although so many aspects of the "privileges of citizenship" that one would rightfully expect in a Republic are being diminished quickly. We're rapidly approaching the critical need to agree on de-powering democRATS and empowering REPUBLICans, that it doubly emphasizes the sheer idiocy of re-electing any RINOs.
What form of government do we have? Do you really know?

Government does not solve problems; it subsidizes them.
Ronald Reagan
"a sort of communal suicide , we believe the least capable in this society were put in charge by some kind of collective guilt social structure"
And there is America's epitaph on our gravestone if we fail to get rid of these lunatics in charge come November-totally agree!
Charles Bukowski – The difference between a democracy and a dictatorship is that in a democracy you vote first and take orders later; in a dictatorship you don't have to waste your time voting.
Some of those twerps make me weep for the future. Most young people do. They are the type who listen to liberals.
Hey, hope springs eternal, but with this President, America as a empire is about to end.
I hope you're right, but we still have a complicit media still willing to carry water for Reid, Pelosi and Obama. They will not investigate the democratic masters.
The cake is a lie. Much like everything that comes from a Liberal's mouth.
To answer your question Rodney – No, we can not all just get along. Decorum and nuance be damned – this evil will not be reasoned with. Ignore PC – fight back with the intent to do harm, the spirit to win.
America is not an "empire".
Are these the same archaeologists that discovered the strange graveyard that had thousands of skulls, femurs, fibulae and scapulae but not a single vertebra? It is believed that this is the place where the entire Republican party went to die.
I prefer JACK-ASS!
A single digit approval rating of congress doesn't help either. Bush spent like a RINO and the RINO's holding power in congress rubber stamped it. Pelosi and Co. didn't have to do too much in 2006 after the take over, they're job was already done for them! If the patriots of the Tea party sweep in another conservative revolution this fall as I think they will then I'll owe Mr Obama my gratitude – through nothing but his own ineptitude will he have brought back True Conservatism to this country right when we need it most!
If the American people will get out and vote and stop voter fraud in November…we can make this cartoon null and void!
That's the daily double!

You've got to see other country's media articles in order to get down to the 'news'.
Spread that far and wide! Very good video to clear up some common confusion.
Very understandable. Someone once said that if you are not liberal in youth then you might not have a heart. If you aren't conservative later on, then you likely don't have a brain. I try to temper my viewpoint on today's youths with that realization, but then, there should be some signs of brains in that mix. Maybe I'm not looking enough. Or else the future is, in fact, screwed.
Every once in a while a young conservative will call in to Rush's show, or Glenn's- and there is a ray of hope. Then, of course, there is Hillsdale College.
Deciding issues by referendum does not nullify our Republic. I never thought of our city council as a democracy, but elected representatives.
Some issues put to a vote, changes nothing, as the California queer marriage judge proved.
Now THIS is a funny comic strip! Kudos to you, Chris!!!
Karl Rove is subbing for Rush today. What's that exploding sound? Hahahahaha
I am, but please help me as well.
That's what the Roman Republic said.
Republics make collective decision s THROUGH representitives – like idiot Congressmen.
Democracies make decisions through direct votes of the population – like a small town voting by a "hands up" vote to put a STOP sign at the corner of Main and Poplar Streets.
Democracies are inheriantly chacotic – the ancient Greeks figured that out 2500 years ago – thus not an effective form of government.
Referendum is a great tool to BYPASS legislatures that IGNORE the will of the people – as in California TWICE concerning "Gay marriage".
