At least the political cartoonist actually did SOME research into the Sandra Fluke case.

The problem is that he took said research, folded it hapharzardly, and held up the mess and said "Look, I madez a boat! <_>"

Operation Spit-take: The plot to extort a whole new computer out of various FSTDTs members. I'm on to you.

Edit: Also, about the car in the cartoon, I swear, it must have taken the entire Saharan desert just to forge the front windshield. Seriously.

As usual, there is no explanation of what, exactly, he's done that contradicts the constitution.

Edit:

This one is pretty dumb too:

It looks like he's holding up the burning Constitution and scolding, "BAD neocons! Bad, bad, bad!"

Ehhhh, one of the legit criticisms that can be made of Obama is that he's taking just as much if not more advantage of Bush's expansion of presidential powers and denial of due process as Bush did. Handy infographic from the ACLU available here. Mind you, it is fairly hypocritical to bitch about Obama doing it but not Bush (especially if you argue Bush was different), its still a valid criticism and a definite failing he's had on constitutional issues.

That's my main problem, they turn a blind eye at what the Republicans are doing and have done the same in the past, though the guy has entitled the piece "One Nation Under Socialism" so I'm assuming guy is an idiot that thinks that Obama is a socialist, when in reality he's center-right. Its quite funny, because this is the guy who did this, and you know who would be considered to be a "socialist"?? Jesus, thats who.

Also, reminds me of this



And now for a Worst Cartoon:

I'd be more sympathetic if people here didn't act like they knew what they were saying when they were saying something very much wrong.

'Everything Government gives you was taken from someone else.'
And also a little bit from you, if you pay taxes at all.
City maintenance, public services, utilities, farm subsidies, etc aside;

Paying in taxes to provide basic needs for the lower class is probably a LOT cheaper than forcing businesses to pay their employees a fair wage. ;p  Big business NEEDS a large, undereducated, baby-making minimum-wage workforce to continue to churn out money.

How I Get My Paycheck:

1. Long ago, the world was born, be it a big bang, a god fucking a cow, whatever.
2. Eventually, humanity appeared.
3. Humanity began forming groups, or, societies.
4. Humanity began trading between these groups, often by walking long distances.
5. Someone came up with the wheel, to make the treks more bearable, and eventually they made carts to be pulled by animals.
6. Time passes, and despite constant attempts to destroy itself, humanity starts exploring the entire world, via boats and other means.
7. Eventually, the North American continent stabilizes itself as the "United States," and some territories some other places own. Citizens of the US don't care who owns what, as long as they can eventually take the land that they want.
8. Monetary systems are put into place, and the first types of "money" are put into the public sphere. No one alive today printed the first dollar.
9. Humanity invents the car, all while the state of "Wisconsin" is founded by Wisconsin Union 1848.
10. The beginning of a public education system is established.
11. The store known as Target is founded.
12. Somewhere in the middle of all of this, certain genetic triggers have been passed from generation to generation, resulting in the birth of my parents, and eventually, me.
13. I am allowed to attend public schools throughout my life, allowing me to earn enough of an education to graduate from a public university.
14. With my advanced degree, I eventually land a variety of jobs, but the only place I can safely earn full time pay is at a store known as Target.

15. A set amount of pay is agreed upon, in exchange for my services in handling work in the stock room.
16. Someone, somewhere builds the items that stock the Target shelves.
17. A truck driver drives the items to a distribution center, and then another driver from there to our store.
18. A team of workers puts said items on the shelves in the store.
19. A customer takes their money, and purchases one of our items, requiring another worker who is STILL not me to check them out.
20. After two weeks of more customers doing this, and me satisfactorily documenting our back-stock, I am given a pay check from Target.

In the grand scheme of things, the bolded section is all I have to do with the money I am given every two weeks. Meanwhile, the fact history passed the way it did, and the pure chance I was born, and the fact society feeds itself, is the main reason I have money. My hard work is only one part of a grander scheme. But I guess I'm just a liberal pansy who should be instead yelling "It's my money and I need it now!"

Why is that under "worst"? Eric Holder's the moron who's saying the drone strikes on US citizens are ok because the constitution only guarantees "due process" not "judicial process". A line of reasoning that suggest that, if there was
