Thanks, but I get my cutting edge critiques from a different award winning source—Here.
Man, now that Iraq has freedom, everybody is going to want it. There has to be a way to package this freedom, sell it at Walmart, discount style. Do we have enough resources to free the entire world? America: we’ll establish your welfare state, whether you want it or not.
Hmmm. A snide, carefully-worded defeatest comment featuring both a Wal-Mart reference and the implicit treatment of democracy as just one in any number of equally legitimate and competing governing philosophies…
I SMELL BLUE AMERICAN!
Can’t we work Haliburton into it somehow??
This is hilarious, Jeff. It almost takes the edge off of MacGruder’s juvenile fascination with his own excrement.
Is that what Blue America smells like? Funny, that smells exactly like something else…
Later,
bbeck
BLUE AMERICAN!
…. needs an occupation
Right, Adam S. The Iraqis don’t want freedom. Y’know how those ethnic types are over there. They just can’t handle it. It’s not in their genetic makeup. They’d really much rather be back under Saddam’s jackboot again. In fact, I can imagine that all over Iraq, they’re just pining for the days of rapes, mutalations, executions, etc.
Oh, Adam! If only we’d just leave and let the Baathists come back to power!
I guess one can dream…..
Love the comic, except McGruder doesn’t draw anything. He pays someone else to do that.
To speak truth to power you actually have to be in possession of some truth.
A lesson that’s been forgotten by some, apparently. (Aaron. Michael. etc. etc. Ad Nauseum.)
I suppose the quasi-welfare state instituted under oil-for-food was preferable?
Oh wait, I nearly conceded that instituting a welfare state was somehow the goal of American foreign policy. Nearly outfoxed me you clever little man.
Hey Jeff, just a heads up: I’m pretty sure that making fun of Boondocks automatically makes you a racist.
ha!
worse than blue. libertarian.
anyways, if the Iraqis wanted freedom they could have got it themselves, like we did. now the expectation is America is going to have to free every non-democratic state on the globe. I guess it’s good for the economy, so…
Is “Not the Boondocks” where limousine and merely affluent urban liberals actually live and slum it by reading and sympathizing with “The Boondocks”?
Ah, Jeff, I think adam has corrected your impression with his latest. Not necessarily blue, just completely ignorant. For we see above that adam demonstrates that he is ignorant of just how hard the Iraqi people fought in ‘91 for their freedom and died by the tens of thousands. And ignorant of the fact that the Kurds partially succeeded.
… and another story for adam. Can we smell success even here?
[keyword “results” true enough!]
Check out Di with all the links tonight!
I know! I’m a bitch! … but I’ve been practicing!
Apparently Di doesn’t have a job …
.. micah’s been practicing too !!
No practice necessary…..it’s an congenital thing.
oops, a rather than an – sorry, grammer is so tuff.
Nah, ma. I’m gonna send one of the links to some friends. Your last one is pretty significant. The Afgans have gone from the horrors of the Taliban to women voting and going to school and now actually sending people to global trouble spots to help out. Who woulda thunk it?
I’m tempted to send it to NRO’s “The Corner” or Insty but they’ll just ignore my e-mails – AGAIN!
Heh. Very Heh. What I am waiting for now is an Asterix the Gaul where Getafix chops up the UN and feeds it to Vitalstatistix, turning him into a bigger pussy than Chirac.
Pussy.
What about it?
I’m certainly in favor of it, for my part.
Adam S is also apparently woefully ignorant of the fact that during our Revolutionary War we had absolutely indispensable help from the French (of all people) in gaining our independence. As just one example, the French played a critical role in the battle of Yorktown, which is generally considered the decisive battle in the final defeat of the British. Tell me how that situation is materially different from the one today except for that fact that the roles are reversed? In this battle we are the French forces aiding an oppressed people in gaining their freedom from tyranny. If it was good enough model back then it’s a good enough model now.
And Adam, you can also cut out the specious and ridiculous “all or nothing” reasoning. It’s a cheap and pointless rhetorical trick. No one on any any side now expects America to free every nation on the face of the earth directly and immediately. But, like ripples in a pond, the application of a specific policy in one place can spread out and affect events in far distant places. It’s a subtle concept, sure, and one that takes a little sophistication to understand, but I have faith that you can wrap your mind around it. Give it a try.
I’m thinking this is Judd Nelson posting as adam s.
Unless it’s not.
I just can’t see Judd jammed into an igloo ..
That’s cold.
… unless he’s jammin’ and singin’ the blues ..
JW, no it couldn’t be. But it might be Stanley Caldwell.
The recent cartoons making fun of Iraqis risking their lives while struggling for the right to vote are particularly bizarre coming from an African American.
That’s because they’re not voting Democrat.
tbrosz – It’s especially, particularly bizarre, because if, in the 1960s, I called a black guy an “African American,” I would have had no vote at all in the way my particular ass was kicked.

Although, if ever it be necessary that the Iraqi Army land in New York Harbor to turn back the evil Canadian hordes, I sincerely hope that our descendants will show a bit more gratitude to them than the French have to us for saving their smelly asses from getting pounded by the Germans twice in the last century.
Yep… Walmart, McDonalds… these things are so unworthy that we must not only blame democracy for causing such coarseness, we must also denigrate our country for allowing such “red” establishments to have been created. Get a friggin’ life! Geez, you’d think the blue staters hanging around the Starbucks counter in Barnes & Noble trying to impress one another with their airs of sophistication could pick up a freakin’ book (other than Michael Moore’s) and get a clue! Nothing takes the wind out of a liberals sails like the success of freedom… Marxism has yet to have a comparable success.
Do any of you actually know any “liberals” (whatever they are)? Do you know how to discuss issues instead of hurl insults at caricatures? Apparently not.
Did you read more than one post on my site before you made your dismissive characterization? Does not the hypocrisy of your self-righteous dropping embarrass you?
No. Probably not.
