Yep, I checked it out. It's all true. With the way they keep enacting what you can and can not do, and what and how much you can eat or drink, what you can and can not say, I'd say they are still into wanting s***ery. They just don't care who they ens***e are anymore.

I daresay the Snoopy gang NEVER had a conversation on this subject. To use them to make a statement on this serious matter'. On the other hand, it is also a great propaganda piece, because it uses one of the icons of our society to play politics. And ignorant people just eat that stuff up, eh?

Obviously you don't like the t***h so you're looking outside the message to try and discredit it. How sad.

No doubt you would have roared with laughter if this had been changed 180 degrees. :thumbdown: :thumbdown: :thumbdown:

And the democRATs still run the "Plantation" poverty ridden cities.

That's interesting! Hadn't thought of that angle before. Might want to play with those words - could spark a revolution!! :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup:

If the success of your party is dependent upon bragging about what they did in 1863, you've got a serious problem.

Hove no problem with the first several panels of the strip.

The parties reversed themselves in the '60s, and the democrats became the party of civil rights and the republicans took their place as the white party, mostly in the South.

Since this change is some 50 years old, it seems the last two panels overstate the case.

"With the way they keep enacting what you can and can not do, and what and how much you can eat or drink, what you can and can not say, I'd say they are still into wanting s***ery."

Well, we do have laws, and they tell you what you can do, and what you can't.

Got to have laws, right?

Now, the democrats favor certain laws, and the republicans favor certain laws, and we fight over differing views, but we have a process--balance and coulnter balance--to effect some moderation. We all have to live with the result.

As to 'how much you can eat and drink,' remember that obesity and premature death cost money--your money and mine. I think a government should look after the health of it's citizens, don't you?

And there are laws about what you can say, and what you can't;

Do you want to be able to stand in a r**t and shout "Let"s K**l the N****r. Let's String Him Up!" and not be held responsible?

Maybe, in that same r**t you might feel it unfair if the man concerned was holding onto you, and shouting "Let's K**l the Honky! Let's String Him Up!"

Some speech is nasty and people are responsible for what they say.

That's a good thing.

Good Post, Amy. Haven't read you before, but hope to read you again.

Actually neither one of them is my party. I don't hold Republicans in any higher state then Democrats. In fact I believe all political parties should be abolished. Political grouping like that creates separatism, separatism leads to the us/them mentality, which in turn leads to hatred and fighting, with the final result being nothing worthy accomplished. This is true for any kind of grouping, race, sex, religion, so on, and so forth.

So not to fret, my pet. When I get posts that shows the hypocrisy of Republicans and any other political party I'll be posting them too. Unless, of course, somebody beats me to it. I don't see a need for double posting.

It boils down to one question. Are you open minded enough to see the t***h and learn to work with others different than you or just cling to your prejudices? I already know the answer to this and it's sad, very sad indeed.

Only bad people need laws. Good people already do what's right and don't need laws.

Would you prefer that our society lived without laws?
