Conrad Dead

ASIDE

Pulitzer-winning cartoonist Paul Conrad dies at 86

LOS ANGELES — Paul Conrad, the political cartoonist who won three Pulitzer Prizes and used his pencil to poke at politicians for more than 50 years, has died. He was 86.

Even if you don't know who Conrad is, this single paragraph tells you everything.
  • political cartoonist for 50 years =  50 years of agitprop
  • Pulitzer Prize for political cartoons =  Nobel Peace Prize eligible.
Conservative political cartoonists needed the WWW to get a foothold.  Before 1995, or so, there were very very few;  now they seem to have achieved parity, if not dominance.   If Conrad and Herblock (Herbert Block)  are together in Heaven, they're no doubt part of a cabal working to undermine God. I pulled these two Conrad 'toons  with a random Google search.

What gun rights?

Democrat Gov. suspends NC gun
rights with the stroke of her pen. 

Which of course means North Carolina had no gun rights to begin with.
State of emergency order makes criminals of concealed handgun permit-holders, sport shooters and hunters.

Beverly Perdue swaps spit with Obama

Carolina voters and a bunch of ACORN activists wanted a Democrat government; they've got it.  FWIW, Governor Perdue's approval rating has dropped since her 2008 election, averaging in the low 30's since June 2009. But she's only half the problem:

  NC DEMOCRATS REFUSE TO RECTIFY PROBLEM

In recent years, two North Carolina bills could have prevented infringement on individual rights under state of emergency laws.  ... bill died when it was denied a committee hearing by Democrat leadership. 

Proving Abraham Lincoln's  (I think) observation, "The only good Democrat is a deceased Democrat, and even then half  will  vote against the public good for another 50 years."

You shouldn't be able to join a military unit until you're at least 35.

For starters, researchers say 18-year-olds think about sex every 10 seconds. Old guys only think about sex a couple of times a day, leaving us more than 28,000 additional seconds per day to concentrate on the enemy. Young guys haven't lived long enough to be cranky, and a cranky soldier is a dangerous soldier.

 'My back hurts! I can't sleep, I'm tired and hungry.'

We are impatient and maybe letting us kill some asshole that desperately deserves it will make us feel better and shut us up for awhile. An 18-year-old doesn't even like to get up before 10am. Old guys always get up early to pee, so what the hell.. Besides, like I said, I'm tired and can't sleep and since I'm already up, I may as well be up killing some fanatical son-of-a-bitch.

If captured we couldn't spill the beans because we'd forget where we put them. In fact, name, rank, and serial number would be a real brainteaser. Boot camp would be easier for old guys.. We're used to getting screamed and yelled at and we're used to soft food. We've also developed an appreciation for guns. We've been using them for years as an excuse to get out of the house, away from the screaming and yelling.

They could lighten up on the obstacle course however. I've been in combat and never saw a single 20-foot wall with rope hanging over the side, nor did I ever do any pushups after completing basic training. Actually, the running part is kind of a waste of energy, too. I've never seen anyone outrun a bullet. An 18-year-old has the whole world ahead of him. He's still learning to shave, to start a conversation with a pretty girl. He still hasn't figured out that a baseball cap has a brim to shade his eyes, not the back of his head, or that pants are supposed to be around the hips, not the knees These are all great reasons to keep our kids at home to learn a little more about life before sending them off into harm's way. Let us old guys track down those dirty rotten coward terrorists. The last thing an enemy would want to see is a couple million pissed off old farts with attitudes and automatic weapons, who know that their best years are already behind them. HEY!! How about recruiting Women over 50...in menopause!!! You think MEN have attitudes??

Ohhhhhhhhhhhh my God!!! If nothing else, put them on border patrol. They'll have it secured the first night!
I think many of my readers might quibble, as do I, with one assertion Frank made, and he should know better.  See these key board strokes?

They all make me think of women.  For starters. And I served with Teddy Roosevelt before he turned commie.


German's - We've stopped being American

de' Tocqueville, Part Zwei
US becoming too … European

Both the behavior of the American government and the Federal Reserve makes one thing clear: They do not see the solution to the US’s economic woes in a return to traditional American virtues. Obama is not calling for the unleashing of market forces, as Ronald Reagan once did during an equally critical period in the early 1980s. On the contrary: Obama, driven by his own convictions and advised by economists who believe in government intervention, has taken a path that leads far away from those things that catapulted America to the top of the world in the past century. - Der Spiege, via Hot Air
Remember Part One?
There are certain populations in Europe whose unbelief is only equaled by their ignorance and their debasement, while in America one of the freest and most enlightened nations in the world fulfills all the outward duties of religion with fervor.  - Alexis de' Tocqueville 1835

Your typical Democrat. I mean that.

Pimp paid for first Harry Reid campaign
 former manager takes lie detector to prove claims

The men discussed politics at a restaurant, until Conforte cut the meeting short and asked Williams to step outside. Conforte opened his car’s trunk to reveal a pile of absentee ballots. Each was marked for Reid, he told Williams. The brothel owner then directed the campaign manager to deliver a thick envelope to the politician.

“I gave it to Reid the next day,” Williams said this week. “He opened it in front of me. It was full of hundred-dollar bills.”

On the plus side for Reid:  Nothing to tie him to any contract killings, so far.
