— Gabriel Malor How out of touch is the Far Left? A "progressive" advocacy group has selected a winner in its contest to find the best pro-government option art:

I started writing about the sloppy thinking that would lead them to choose this particular quote (reading comprehension, much?), their evident ignorance that it is misattributed to Thomas Jefferson (musta been in his Stuff Jefferson Said After Henry St John, 1st Viscount Bolingbroke Said It First, 3rd Leatherbound Edition), and the horrifying image of Washington persistently redistributing the vitality of the United States.
But you know what? The thing speaks for itself.

I have not seen any Obama "holiday" cards.
What gives?
Is it simply that the hardcore left doesn't celebrate the holidays? I mean, there's Obama everything else, why not "wishing you a happy barakmas?"

I had presumed for a long time that national socialism was a leftwing heresy, and international socialism the orthodoxy.
Looking over the last 15 years though, it seems communism might just have been a somewhat successful aberration of left wing thought.

You are nothing and shall have nothing unless, in our mercy, we shall bestow upon you what we deem appropriate. This is the essence of modernist "Liberty."
Posted by: pinche migra at December 16, 2009 07:28 PM (E3SK8)
A wise and frugal government, which shall leave men free to regulate their own pursuits of industry and improvement, and shall not take from the mouth of labor the bread it has earned - this is the sum of good government.
or perhaps
Delay is preferable to error.
or how about
Dependence begets subservience and venality, suffocates the germ of virtue, and prepares fit tools for the designs of ambition.

It's hard to find such an eloquent depiction of how the left views the country; yes, it's a pretty decent piece of design, but (as I said in my own post on the picture), I'd rather see D.C. as the appendix, not the heart. I can guarantee that most folks do not want to see Washington as the center of the country with the kind of life-or-death power of the heart; that's not how federalism works.
Also, the 3rd place design is crap; must not have gotten many submissions.

Not to get persnickety but maybe "anus" would be more appropriate. An appendix is usually a benign "appendage." The anus? Always extruding crap and hot air. It just plain stinks.

I assume you're referring to the "Piss Christ" and "Dung Madonna" line of art.
Those always seemed to be "stick a thumb in the eye of those not in the art community" production, rather than something meant to inspire or persuade. This is supposed to encourage people.
Posted by: cthulhu at December 16, 2009 09:41 PM (u+gbs)
I mean, Holy shit.
Red star? "Collective body?" Lysenkoish "politics drives health" meme? Lies about who said what?
Let's just remind everybody that we're still fighting a war against communist despoilers, its just that they're our neighbors now.
Next will be Che quotes ascribed to Washington, hammer and sickle motifs instead of stars on the US flag, and "Obama's Little Black Book."
Man, I sure woke up in bizarro world at some point.
