I pledge allegiance ... the new and not improved version - cartoon
Anyone else feeling like we're on the verge of losing America to a fascist, totalitarian regime headed by George W. Bush?

We're creeping that way faster than anyone might have imagined.

1. When facism comes to America...
When facism comes to America it will be wrapped in a flag and carrying a cross.

The rightwing core has always wanted to enforce regimen and treat as criminals those who disagree, going back to the Federalists of the late 18th century.

5. Thanks for reading and commenting.
I feel its important to bring home the message that we are losing what makes America America in this mad dash to make all things subservient to an overreaching, out of control executive bent on stopping all dissent.

6. No prophets were caricatured in the making of this cartoon.
However, a bacon sandwich was eaten while it was being written, so if you're aversive to pork ....

11. I think it represents the country Bush is creating, and not that far away.
Bush thinks HE supercedes the constitution and 200 years of civil liberties.

Can you imagine this guy if we were in a real war?

FDR and Truman led us in WWII to victory in less time than Bush has been screwing up this so called War on Terror.

irony here with the name of the high school: george w. bush HIGH (yeah, no kidding--just as some of us suspect with his tweeking coke jaw and his big nose twitches from the state of the union that i caught.)

Yeah, I love to stick little jokes in there which may not be picked up.

That was one of them. You know the bastard is high half the time. And wanting to get high the other half of the time.
