Tom Tomorrow: Prophecies from 11 years ago.

[BloodyWilliam]

Geez... just ONE Tom Tomorrow comic from 1994 seems to sum up a pretty good amount of the shit that's wrong socially in this country.

[Champion Jack]

1. nice find!

[BloodyWilliam]

2. It was purely random, thanks to a Fark post.

They might be half-conservative (it's a pretty constant flamewar there) and they lump us in with Free Republic, but it's a fun site if you're a wholly bored cube rat.

[BlueJazz]

3. Boy..I can't tell you how many times I've "ripped" people a new...

..As*hole when they start the crap about "Lazy Welfare Mothers".
The conversation usually goes like this:

Me: What percentage of the Budget is going to Welfare?
Them:..Ahh..10 percent???
Me: And what percentage of the budget, according to the national accounting office, is fraud...
Them: Oh..4 percent???

Me: Christ Man!..The percent of Welfare money is less than 1 percent and the percentage of Fraud is 1/17 of 1 percent.

Me: Learn the facts before sprouting that Right-Wing Crap!

[BloodyWilliam]

4. The scary thing is it's from 11 years ago.

Welfare slander, fear of sex ed, even Bill Bennett being creepy, all remnants from over a fucking decade ago!

[BlueJazz]

5. Ain't it the truth...plus, you almost...

..never hear the Right-Wingers say:
"Damn, the Military, (again, the National Accounting office) has
defrauded us of 2 1/2 percent of our money"...Ahhggg!...ignorant Fuckers!.. :)

[DistressedAmerican]

6. Apparently Bennett Has Been A Ragin Racist Longer Than I Thought!

Rascist fucker!

[Armstead]

7. Here's another from 1999

8. My favorite song from about then: From the Austin Lounge Lizards

Teenage Immigrant Welfare Mothers on Drugs

http://www.austinlizards.com/teenage_immigrant_mothers.html

It's been five years since we had a raise in pay
And they disallowed my business lunches today
Somebody must have changed the rules of the game
So we've found a convenient scapegoat we can blame

It's those teenage immigrant welfare mothers on drugs
(They're too lazy to work)
Teenage immigrant welfare mothers on drugs
(They're stealing our jobs)

Somebody ran this country deep into debt
I called up Congress, but nobody's called back yet
Sometimes I get so mad I can't think straight
We're looking for relief and it feels so great to hate

All those teenage immigrant welfare mothers on drugs
(They're on the Dole)
Teenage immigrant welfare mothers on drugs
(They're speaking espanol)

Who's to blame for the things we're so angry about?
Who's to blame for uprisings, downsizings, and the drought?
Who's to blame for the end of the good old days?
Who's to blame for that backwards-cap-wearing craze?

It's those teenage immigrant welfare mothers on drugs
(Let's build a thousand-mile fence)
Teenage immigrant welfare mothers on drugs
(It's just common sense)
Teenage immigrant welfare mothers on drugs
(Like the Berlin Wall)
Teenage immigrant welfare mothers on drugs
(Land mines and all!)
Teenage immigrant welfare mothers on drugs


These guys really take shots and call foul on a lot of crap
