Politically incorrect or tastless?

As far as the Democrusader goes, I don't know about all the conspiracy theories concerning population reduction or most other apocalyptic visions, but we're certainly working our way towards at least a global economy.. and for some time, now (an aspiration of Hitler's). Bush's administration just kind of takes that effort by the reigns and whips the ship out of the horse. He's kind of loosing the Senate, and the lies he's been told to feed are coming back to haunt him. If the administration told everyone what this fight with Saddam (nothing to do with 9-11) was actually about, most people probably would have opted for an electric car and a tighter homeland defense. Not a multi-billion dollar war, and color coded terror flags. Personally, I don't believe in terrorists, and the potential for my neighbor to mistakenly believe me to be some kind of threat for expressing myself, and have me investigated.. "F" that. U.S. citizens being investigated for making jokes on the internet. The friggin' Patriot Act. So the Cold War has kind of turned into something ugly, but restricting our speach, rather than just.. telling the truth. My God!! Do you have something to hide, Mr. Bush and Co.?!?! Daddy's "NewÃ,  :-XÃ, 

They certainly don't present a good lasting case for themselves, hiding their intentions behind a lot of fancy military Ops names... or stick together.. work well.. or keep a lot of people from dying.. simply cause a lot (of certain people) to die.. and continue to restrict freedom to propagate "his own" [canned laughter] agenda. Resembles Hitler in no way.

No, he's a great president.

Not to divert the thread too much, but that Communist quote could've been quite applicable depending upon the circumstances.  Much of America's people know little or nothing about it, and Communist has used in the same sense as Nazi or Fascist has been for some time now. 

The image, back on topic, is almost hyperbolic enough to be a Somethingawful picture.  Agreeing with most of the posters, it's neither offensive nor amusing.  I voted Kerry in the last election - not as an "anybody but Bush" vote, nor because I think Kerry would be much better, more for their cabinet and in an attempt to bring some balance to the government by putting a Democrat somewhere in the decision-making process.  Although, had he won, he'd essentially be crippled by the Republican-dominated legislature.

Ah, my Federalist Republic, you give me two choices and they both blow.

Chirstians find God through Christ. I think Muslims see this as waiting around for someone to come fix your problems. I think they also consider it worshipping God through a man, and wrong. Islam mean something like 'one god, and only one god', and I think it was kind of a responce to how some people treated Jesus, or the Virgin Mary.

I think it's mostly about freewill. Christians believe God gave us freedom to choose, and I think Muslims think it's a little more guided. Just a little more. I'm not really sure.


p.s. - and I wonder how doctored that actual image of bush is. The filter, yeah, but he could have actually been caught making that pose. Not that it meant anything, or was even intentional.

p.p.s. - and PI or tastless, I don't know.. It's creative. I give 'em an "E" for effort.

Hey, look at that. bush's fuck-up has caused even MORE pointless deaths!
AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!

Since we're doing "bush=hitler lol"...

Chaplin made fun of Hitler in The Great Dictator and was nominated for three Oscars, even though Hitler was responsible for the deaths of over 9 million jews. Go figure.

In all fairness though, imdb lists these two pieces of trivia for the film:

# Charles Chaplin said that had he known the true extent of Nazi atrocities, he "could not have made fun of their homicidal insanity".

# Some reports refute Charles Chaplin's claims of ignorance as to the true extent of Nazi atrocities, stating that Chaplin was very much aware of the various goings-on, but decided to make the film anyway as an attack on Nazi ideology.

Wow. That is just plain retarded.


Amazing how everyone blames everything on the president. It was his crew that decieved him into believing there were weapons of math instruction in Iraq. As for sending troops there, I think it's better than letting Iraq fall into anarchy, and possibly instigate MORE terror attacks.

Sure, he's an idiot, but he's better than a lot of other presidents we've had.

So, what you're saying is that it's not his fault, he's just gullible?

Umm, those things happened when he DID send troops into Iraq.

Sure, he's an idiot, but he's better than a lot of other presidents we've had.

Yep, he's better than Nixon and....

Nixon...

err...









Nixon...

The one Bush Image that still makes me laugh...

Since we are now under the "bush = monkey lol" joke, I might as well post this http://www.boomersfunnies.com/Pictures/Bush%20Monkey.jpg

I think it is no longer politically correct to be politically correct.

[Raggit]

He's a self-mocking man.

Right you are DG!  Bush has been a comedy gold mine from day 1, but unfortunately, his ignorance and greed has cost lots of life. 

As far as the picture goes, I don't have a real problem with the meaning.  Bush is an Imperialist, a liar (like most politicians), a thief, and not worthy of the Oval Office. 
Granted, he's not launching a genocide or rounding up those he considers to be "inferior" to him... yet.

I think the main joke was that its an ear of corn....

See, that's more of what I'd like to see in Bush humour. More jokes about him being an Imperialist, a liar, and a thief. It's more honest than "bush=hitler lol".

DC Simpson's "I Drew This" is a prime candidate for this...

Has anyone put any thought into what is actually happening in the background in politics while we are fed the daily news that is owned by the richest people in the world? This may sound way too "conspiracy theory"-like, but let's ask ourselves: "what if...?"

- What if the most influential people, (those that have the most money, power and fame,) use this to control the media to dish out only 75% truth, 20% theory, and 5% blatant errors/lies? 

- What if Bush is just a puppet. Maybe going over to Iraq was just a ploy to get complete control over the oil situation. I heard somewhere that Saddam was selling so much oil that it brought the price of oil down. What better way to get the prices back up slowing down the sale. (Off the subject, I heard Microsoft was going to do this with the 360 so that it would sell out... making it easier to keep the prices very high.)

- What if the American people are distracted by what Bush stands for? He says he is against abortion, abortions still exist in the US. He says he is against Gay/Lesbian marriages... they still get married. He says he is against illegal imigration...yet their allowed a legal residence status. But these are issues we worry about and vote for or against... what's happening behind the scenes though? These are evidently trivial in comparison to a much grander conspiracy. 

- What if religion was getting in the way of the power mongers? Religous freedom is non existent today. The whole reason why most people left Europe, and migrated to America, was to freely practice their religion. Now we have lossed that priveledge.

- What if God and the Devil do exist? We are right smack in between this spiritual war. The Devil is using everything in his power to bring as many souls to Hell. "Misery desires company."

- What if natural catastrophies, wars, etc., are signs from God? Sometimes bad things can have a butterfly effect of change. Without evil, we would already be in Heaven... (sanity check... this is not Heaven!) 


If anyone else would like to add the the What if list... be my guest.

what if... you belong in a crazy christian cult and are trying to get all of us to join up?
