Trick or Treat, Obama style

If it seems I’m all up in arms over Obama’s “spread the wealth around” comments, then … well, okay, you got me. I don’t like it.

Not that he said it, because he’s actually telling how he believes.

It’s the belief that I don’t like.

But, as this Gary McCoy cartoon from 2006 shows, it’s nothing new:

Sturmabteilung? Or Schutzstaffel?

Barack Obama wants a “civilian national security force.”

Not the National Guard. Not the Reserves. But a new force.

We cannot continue to rely only on our military in order to achieve the national security objective that we’ve set. We’ve got to have a civilian national security force that’s just as powerful, just as strong, just as well-funded.

What was that organization that Adolf Hitler had? Sturmabteilung? You know, the “Brown Shirts.”

Or maybe he wants to go straight to the Schutzstaffel, the “SS.”

Are those of us on the right the only ones that ever read books? Or that watched the Nazi shows on the History Channel instead of their “Search for Bigfoot” or “Roswell Uncovered” shows? Or that can think for ourselves?

Obama cars

The other day, I wondered about what would happen if the Obamabots actually took the day off to campaign for him.

I figured nobody would notice.

But, I’m now thinking I would notice.

There’d be nothing but American cars in the lot.

You see, I noticed some bumper stickers and window stickers on cars in some of the parking lots in Columbus (that’s Columbus, Georgia, by the way).

Most of the Obama stickers are on foreign cars. Or toaster-looking cars.

Most of the McCain stickers are on American cars or trucks. Mostly Chevrolet, by the way.

Now, this isn’t to say that all foreign car drivers support Obama. Nor that all Obama supporters drive foreign cars. Or that all American car owners vote McCain. Or… well, you get the idea. I’m not saying one equals the other. I owned a foreign car in the past. Once.

But I noticed that there appears to be a relationship. From the vehicles I’ve seen, most Obama stickers are on foreign cars, and most McCain stickers are on American cars.

I wonder why that is?

Did My Patriotic Duty

I got MorOn.org to send me an Obama sticker, costing the organization $.42 postage, an envelope, sticker production costs, and labor costs – all of which money can no longer be used for spreading Socialist propaganda on Obama’s behalf:

Minor moral victory aside, this sticker makes a larger political point which I hope will not be lost on the general public:

Hippies can’t do anything right.

First, if you’re going to use the color blue, use the deep, rich, patriotic blue of the American flag, not this washed out, limp-wristed pastel that’s approximately the shade of a VW Microbus that’s been cooking in San Francisco sunlight for the last 40 years.

Second, quality matters. If a print isn’t true because, say, the D in Biden has a misshapen tumor of white on the upper left curve so that the letter resembles a talentless artist’s caricature of John Merrick, then throw it in the trash and try again.

If they can’t even make a bumper sticker, what will happen when they try to run our country?
