It was easy to see the idiotic simplicity of it and take it in good humor UNTIL I NOTICED ONLY ELEC CARS ON THE LEFT AND THE PICKUP TRUCKS ON THE RIGHT! GOOD LUCK WITH THAT FRUITCAKES! I’M GONNA GO JUMP IN MY F250 AND RUN SOMETHING OVER.

Why don’t you toss a couple of Priuses (Priusi?) in the back of the F250 to add to the irony? :-)

I know, right? Isn’t the pickup truck the all time number one best selling vehicle in America? I was trying to calm down, then I noticed the depiction of the bicyclists riding on their orderly little bike path. When I was growing up “bike” and “path” was an oxymoron. WHO ARE THESE PEOPLE THAT DRESS UP IN THEIR LITTLE INSECT COSTUMES AND PEDAL THESE PATHS???? I’m just not gonna bother wasting any gasoline on them. I will just go take a nap.

I had a boss who biked a lot. Looked dumb, in spandex shorts with skinny legs and knobby knees.

I used to say that he was auditioning to be a bumper sticker. He used to ride his bike in high-speed, 5-lane, rush hour traffic, to and from work. Yep, he's that guy, dumb-looking helmet, and all.

No showers at work, either, so he was a real pleasure to sit next to in closed-door meetings for the rest of the day.

But, he was very smug and self-assured that he was just a little bit better than the rest of us, for riding his bike into work. Hopefully for his wife and kids, he put all of the gas money he saved into life insurance premiums.

Yes, it is the helmet that really pulls the look together. I was out working in my front yard one day and one of these insect people came up to me, pushing his space age bicycle. He asked me if I had any duct tape. His back wheel had a broken spoke. THE WHEEL ONLY CAME EQUIPPED WITH FOUR SPOKES!!! One had broken and he wanted to tape it. I got him the duct tape and while he taped off the hanging spoke, I told him, “next time get a bike with 200 spokes”.

I suppose the left side is the Democratic Utopia and the right side is the Republican evil conglomerate side!

Somehow it does not fit the Democratic reality!

The Dem city didn’t show all the millions of birds sliced to bits by the wind turbines. Funny that.

Now that I’ve seen the original with the “fine print” I think I’ve come up with an alternative that still makes the point...not as cleanly, but still.

The original post has been updated...

If other people want to use that image, fine, but I don’t intend to use it again. It’s really chicken **** of the artist to do that. What’s up with the kindergarten “no backsies” nonsense?

I had a leftist throw it in my face on another website, I was laughing so hard at them telling them the “Republican” side looked like the utopia of Detroit.

There is simply too much wrong with that cartoon.

The bulldozers on the right were needed to built the downtown on the left.

Similarly, the "Ore Mining" operation on the right provided the metal used to build the cars and bicycles on the left, and the products of the right side's "Chemicorp" are indispensable to people on the left.

"The Projects" obviously belongs on the left. Check the government party responsible for the creation of American low income housing projects.

Where are the bird carcasses covering the ground in the Democrats' wind farm?

"Junk in the Box" is a stab not just at Jack in the Box, but at affordable fast foods in general. Compare the cost of a meal at the supposedly Republican "Junk in the Box" with a similarly nutritious meal at the snobbish, Democratic "Organic Cafe." Michael Moore-type leftists believe that all food served at American fast food restaurants is unhealthy. It's obviously not true -- try reading the damn menu for once -- but they need the lie.

The Republican "VOTE HERE if ID approved" should have a counterpart on the left that says "VOTE HERE and VOTE OFTEN -- No citizenship? No local residency? NO PROBLEM!"

As for the "STRIP 'N POKE HER" club, compare the rape stats for heavily black areas, always Democrat strongholds, with rape stats for heavily white Republican areas. That club definitely belongs on the left.

It's nice that the Democratic area has a "UNION HALL," so all those union workers who priced themselves out of jobs can sit around complaining all day. People in the Republican area would rather go to work.

So the leftist "Light Rail" fantasy made it into this cartoon! Google "The Desire Named Streetcar" to see how that works out in reality.

And so on. Liberalism is a mental illness.

Dunno. You’re the one that said condiments prevent abortion.
