I can't find where, just now, but Silence asked me what kind of "war" I alluded to when I said the main reason that Senior Senator Loophole wants to be POTUS is to declare war on the rich. I meant this kind:
Every good political cartoon covers all the angles and this one from Cox&Forkum is definitely good. Despite the use of force to separate individuals from their wealth, and that the embodiment of that force is the angry and impersonal machinery of government with the would-be chief executive at the controls, the Marxist mister Kerry puts a smiley face on it with the rejoinder, "Don't be afraid ... we mean well." It even works in Kerry's incessant braggadocio that it's all part of his plan.
My brilliant "life partner" who just happens to be of the opposite humanoid gender from me (at one time, commonly referred to as "wife") made an almost as brilliant obseration this morning: "Rich people are definitely a minority in this country. Where is the ACLU when their rights are under assault?"
