Cape Cod is that part of Massachusetts that sticks out into the Atlantic ocean like an upraised, bent arm. (Map here.) It is separated from the mainland by the Cape Cod Canal. Transit choices include boat, airplane and the (most popular) car. If taking the car, you'll have to cross the canal on either the Bourne Bridge or the Sagamore Bridge. Both are four-lane (two each direction) bridges with narrow lanes. Consequently, they are the choke points for traffic traveling on and off Cape, as we say.
This causes traffic back-ups that often extend 5-10 miles from the bridges as tourists and vacationers try to reach the beaches. It's a real pain in the ass. As a joke, someone printed up bogus Cape Cod Canal Tunnel permits that look like official access passes to a mythical tunnel under the canal. Those were funny, before the joke wore off (they're ubiquitous now; unfunny). The joke played on the tension and the angst from traffic delays and skewered tourists who might actually look for the tunnel that doesn't exist.
After 9/11 and the start of the Afghan War, someone printed up bogus Terrorist Hunting permits. Those were funny, too, before they were everywhere. The joke played on the tension and the angst in America and on our need and right to attack those who would attack us.
Now someone has printed up these Liberal Hunting licenses. These are not funny.
Yes, politics can be funny. Yes, politics can be stressful. But nothing is funny about shooting your political opponent. That's what they do in the Stone Age mud states our enemies come from. It is not what we do here. We vote.
If you're the one who came up with the Liberal Hunting License, you should be ashamed.
True, he IS good for scaring the cats though.
Don't forget the match-stick pitchfork.
At rightwingstuff.com, you can get a t-shirt imprinted with it.
Bwah-ha-ha-ha!
He's just mad because nobody came up with a Conservative Hunting License first.
That's awfully judgemental.
What's the bag limit is and when does bow season start?
True, nowadays it is considered bad form -- and even illegal -- to be caught "shooting your political opponent."
That was not always the case, though.
Consider, if you will, George Washington and the boys running off the Red Coats. If I remember my history correctly, and I do, our Founding Fathers formed this independent Union by shooting at their political opponents.
That we don't do that anymore is not to say that it ain't sometimes tempting. Instead, today we just joke about it.
Nothing wrong with that.
Yet.
The terrorists are obligated to wash five times a day.
Is there one with 'Permit No. OU-R12'? :-)
Yes, politics can be funny. Yes, politics can be stressful. But nothing is funny about shooting your political opponent. That's what they do in the Stone Age mud states our enemies come from. It is not what we do here. We vote.
Oh YEAH? How about the Senior Gas_Bag, Jabba,the Hut-Kennedy, from Massachussetts sitting there on his throne in the Senate, pontificating that the Islamo-Fascists are justified in killing our soldiers and cutting heads off civilians because PRISONERS WERE MISTREATED AT ABU-GHARIB!
What goes round, comes round.
I assume that this ..... uh .... person has forgotten what the far left did to the moderate liberal leaders during the 60s and 70s. Leaders like the Kennedy brothers, M.L. King, George Rockwell etc. etc..
"Liberals think they are a religion."
Well, they're right. Most of their politics are to be believed on blind faith alone, and any challenge to them is blasphemy. Liberalism is a religion, plain and simple.
Anybody know what a MUD STATE is? Or is that just some new liberal tripe?
LOL. I saw one of these on a pickup at an Operation Support Our Troops rally!
I didn't know that Jackasses had horns!
