About the 1934 Cartoon

"Our tax dollars are going to these big-monied institutions and for no other reason than so this government can control them" pretty much says it all. Obama is still campaigning. It's not enough to be President of the USA, he's wanting to be King of the world. He's so &*%$#(*@#% arrogant, he feels qualified to fill that slot. He is such a power hungry narcissist, he won't be satisfied with less than the whole ball of wax. He feels entitled to it. And even with his very limited resume, he feels utterly qualified to control the world. He is one worrisome, scary dude. God help us.

Very nice pick up.

As they say, "past is prologue". When will these nimrods learn?

Just read Interface's blog about "A Brave New 1984". That is the most chilling scenario I've run across. Huxley's "Brave New World" morphs into Orwell's "1984". First, pacify the people by giving them their every desire and comfort, then enslave and control them because now they are too weak and weak-minded to resist. Think that is not Obama's game?

Thanks for taking a peek at my first ever image post. True, is it not? What's old is new again.

you complain when Bush reversed how our gov't was spending money by returning to deficit spending?

And would you rather have 2009 reflect 1929 rather than 1934?

I echo sgt.strykers comment -- very nice pick up. It is amazing what history has to teach us. We have been heading down this destructive path for some time now, IMHO, and now are seeing the end-result unfold before us.

Great article and a joyous and peaceful Easter to you, your family and friends.

As you say, it was a great find. It fascinated me when I saw it. It's like the past never happened for these people.

you haven't been reading my blog very carefully. I have been all over the Bush Admin. for their spending, lack of seriousness about securing the border, the "Bailout Bill". GW Bush, IMO, advanced the ball in the wrong direction in many ways. Now Obama and the Dems are just picking it up to score the Big Socialist Touchdown.
Actually 2008=1929 with the crash of the economy. Now fast forward, 2009=1934 with the rash of spending that the Dems are doing. Obviously it took FDR longer to get his plan in place than it did for Obama.
Now I've heard all of your BS. No need for further comment.

Could Trotsky be Karl Marx also?

It's possible, but I think it's more likely Trotsky. Remember, American Communists in the 30's and 40's were often called Trotskyites. Also remember that Trotsky was exiled from his native Russia by Stalin and took up residence in Mexico. I believe he directed a lot of "community organizing" in the US from that location. Look up the Wiki on Trotsky and on Marx. This drawing more closely resembles Trotsky to me.

Gotcha on the Trotsyites.
I am going to ask you to check out the side blog and see the post Greg Hengler put up. It's about anti-Obama watchdogs. I signed up for the site, but the comments are so ridiculous!! I posted sarcasm and pissy. The idiots just don't get it.

Since the cartoon and explanation are self-explanatory, and all people with a working brain in their head can easily understand the implications, I will comment here on C5(still hanging out by the grill?). Instead of thoughtfully considering the CONTENT of the editorial cartoon, which is quite different than, say, an Archie comic, C5 takes the default liberal argument, "but, but, um, Bush?". It is so very difficult for the left to comprehend that conservatives opposed the first TARP, continue to oppose runaway government spending and do not accept that a government takeover of the US economy will lead to recovery of said economy. I thank you for the fantastic find and for sharing it. I intend to share this also, giving your blog credit, of course.
Happy Easter, and I've missed my blog, too!

Glad you liked that 'toon. It tells the story in a way that speaks to so many. I say, if you miss your blog, come on back. We need your voice to chime in now and again. Hey, get yourself over to Denton on Wednesday, April 15th. There's going to be a TEA Party over there. Check the internet for location. I'll be at the Dallas TEA Party.

the same.

Those who don't study history (i.e., the Liberal "masses") are doomed to repeat it.

Great. We are going down the same road we went down in the 1930's. Why I am NOT surprised. With idiots like cowdung5, it is not surprising.

capture timeless truths.

While BO demonizes wealth, power, privilege if acquired through the free market, he seems to have no problem providing it to himself and his connected cronies by appealing to the basest instincts of the suckling masses, promising them something for nothing.

Our own implementation of Capitalism has demonized itself. The growing disparity of wealth in this country where the income of most people has either stagnated, when adjusted for inflation, or fallen, the growing number of people, many of whom work, who live in poverty, and the fact that close to 25% of Americans are either uninsured or underinsured with regards to health care. With manufacturing jobs having left the cities, and country, so investors can get a higher return on investments that didn't go into the companies, there is a general atmosphere of hopelessness amongst many residents because there are too few economic means by which they can better their lives. Service sector jobs are what is left and the problem here is that there are not enough such jobs and many of those jobs do not lift people out of poverty.

And thanks for stopping by. This cartoon is illustrative of one of the things that worried the Founders most. Where a less privileged majority would continually vote for themselves "bread and circuses" at the expense of the privileged, yet productive minority. At some point the productive minority ceases its productivity, since there is no reward in doing so. The masses then have no source to tap for their distractions and food, and the whole society will collapse, since no one is providing it sustenance.
