Just check out Obama's new drone
"In The Land Of The Free" it is flown
Nothing will save
"The Home Of The Brave"
Tyrannical forces have grown

All hail the Banana-In-Chief
The source of our national grief
A slippery fool
A Kleptocrat tool
And Romney provides no relief

If you are wondering what I am thinking about the entire red and blue clown circus, this piece by Matt Stoller is not a bad place to start:
WHAT ARE WE CHEERING FOR?
"But the idea that America is shifting into an authoritarian system is a difficult truth to handle, as it flies in the face of an endlessly marketed notion of progress and deep-seated political rhetoric about American exceptionalism. Political elites are also very good at dishonest excuses. In her convention speech, for instance, Michelle Obama remarked that change is hard, and slower than we might like. Many Democrats point out that Republicans block change at every turn. But this is misleading — in fact, Obama has turned out to be a transformative president, and has in fact solidified a bipartisan consensus in favor of a sweeping political change, for endless bailouts and endless war. Liberals do not want to recognize that this is his agenda, and that this agenda is designed to turn America into a society where democracy exists only in small rooms of elites. Better to say there hasn’t been enough change, than to recognize the radical change that has occurred.
Making the case that our systems are not what they are marketed as will be difficult. Americans overwhelmingly still, for instance, believe in homeownership as a virtue, despite the obvious bleak future on that front. They still think that paying crushing, predatory and illegitimate mortgage and student debt is the moral thing to do. They will not let go of their illusions without more personal experience in the malevolence of the system, denser organizational networks of dissident elites, and a possible alternative they can support. Liberal Democrats and union officials will not shake their faith in Obama, insisting on lying for him and the Wall Street-friendly Democratic establishment he represents. But these illusions are not sustainable, and neither is the increasingly authoritarian American state. It is a small group who realize this fundamental truth, but every day, more are waking up."

Still waiting for a Matt Foley reference.......
Would it get me on a no-fly or watch list to assert that POTUS does not have the right to disappear and/or kill me? It used to be that everyone knew the answer, and we were all required to pass a Constitution test before graduating from high school or college. I never was good at Latin, but "habeus corpus" became a familiar phrase. I never saw Fastus Furious in any official document.
Are we now targetted for having passed the Constitution test? Is the Constitution Test gone? Or, are we required to fail it?
see above ;-)

There is a sick poetic conjunction with fly paper and no fly paper
yes,
yes, maybe (but they are trying), no
Yea though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I shall fear no evil..for... OH shit!!!! It's one
of Obama's drones....BOOM!!! ( It is sure a lot easier to blow people up when you are on
a computer, you can just pretend it's a video game )
As I get to know you better through your art and writing, I am happy there are others out there who see what I see and do not agree whith what is going on..
This is not a perfect world as you know and even those on the same side may disagree at times, but for things of importance, that which repulses our souls, we stand together.
May that never change, for this is the only thing that prevents this world from digressing into complete chaos.
I grow older, these things we refer to as "good" and "evil" seem to have some truth to them.
I may stray a bit at times, but my central focus has always been the rot caused by the corruption of finance. As I delved into it I became more aware how it has permeated everything. Moreover, I realized how deeply the phenomena has been a common thread historically.
I get hammered by both sides of the political spectrum. But overall, the essential message seems to resonate with people from both sides and even more so by people in the middle.
They only way we are going to get past this, if possible, is to begin by lifting the veil of propaganda. Not an easy task, but well worth the effort.
I don't have to remind everyone that we are proceeding with this political charade in earnest roughly on the fourth anniversary of the 2008 meltdown, the event that launched my own crusade against American cronyism.
Its an election year, give 'em all hell. As stated by PJ ORoarke (referring to Bilary), the party of the unrepresented is, "Leave us alone, and keep your hands to yourself". Bilary = Obamney = Bushs = international finance = bubbling blue screen of death
well said william
in my local paper, they headlined two sentences from our cheerless leader's speech. One said, they need more time for the recovery to take hold and the other blamed the other party for the situation
I am so sick of this hypocritic shit.
My local paper tends to like Romney. After his big night they headlined his promise for Twelve Million Jobs! with a glowing review of his speech. Since Clint Eastwood started a restaurant in the area (that has since been sold to someone else) there was also a positive review of his bit.
Just like the majority of the population, the battle lines are drawn and the media is either part of the red team or the blue team. Everything is bias confirmation.
12 million jobs indeed. How! Never mind...
It's the modern day "Chicken in every pot", I think.
chicken in every office
And one other teeny tiny thing...Do you you have to be Catholic to get the VP spot?
Or get on the Supreme Court?
Naww, its got to be tin hat stuff.

Cute pic, though..
'I get hammered by both sides of the political spectrum.'
If you didn't, you'd be wasting your time.
'Both sides' actually is a Big Lie. It's all one side of the one-percenter welfare/warfare party called the Depublicrats.
You are right, both sides is the wrong phrase.
The big lie requires a big club.
Keep teeing off on 'em Bill
"I look forward to the day where my drones will not be judged by the color of their skin but instead by the quality of their telemetry..."
"I have a drone where one day every valley shall be fracked, every hill and mountain shall be monitored, the dissenting voices will be disappeared, and the crooked persons will be made men, and the glory of the Plan shall be revealed, and all flesh shall be fused into machines."
LOL : )
"... and their ability to kill peoples of all colors without regard to guilt or innocence..."
Good job as always Mr. Banzai.
No We Can't...Shit Happens
Paul lives a sad lonely life
His worship of Rand caused him strife
In this year's election
He's facing rejection
His budget plans cut like a knife
