This will be an Intelligence war. Is Intelligence on the side of the United States? As a kook (since I am crazy enough to be saying this on the Internet)...past events in this country such as OKC...say no.

"Weep for yourselves and your children."...words spoken two thousand years ago.

My family and I and my staff came up with a great political cartoon - could be used as a symbol for our current crisis. One or more of the Freepers are graphic artists with great skills. At least one helped the Patrick Henry Center in the past. Alas, I've lost his name and email address.

Could anyone assist us in finding the individual(s) who could craft this great political statement? I promise you will love it.

Freepers Registered and Mia T are two of the best graphic artists I know of, perhaps they can help.

[MamaLucci]

P.S.
Freeper P.J. Comix is also very talented, particularly with cartoons.

[Fred Mertz]

MamaLucci,

You need to flag them if you want them to catch Gary Aldrich's request. If I got PJ-Comix's handle incorrect, please correct it for me.

See #43.

[PJ-Comix]

Freeper P.J. Comix is also very talented, particularly with cartoons.

BLUSH! But actually I only work with illustrators and cartoonists. I don't draw the cartoons myself. BTW, I just worked with Registered on THIS GRAPHIC currently being used to raise funds for the Red Cross.

[PJ-Comix]

If you need full comix stories I can help out. I write up the comix stories panel by panel like a script. BTW, if any organization needs comix to be used for instructional purposes, I can also help out on that. One little known fact is that before the early 1950s, the military made extensive use of comix to instruct its personnel in many areas of technical training. Unfortunately, the anti-comix hysteria (led by an idiot shrink named Frederic Wertham) ended all that.

[MamaLucci]

Thanks, Fred.

[MamaLucci]

Thanks for the link, I hadn't seen that. It's got a definite New York attitude...good work!

The feds were busy guarding the sucker fish at Klamath Falls, counting the number of fags who have been insulted so far this year so the statistics can be added to next year’s annual FBI “hate crime” report, talking country bumpkins into sawing off shotgun barrels, investigating people who used the “n” word in public, setting forest fires that burn down dozens of homes at places like Los Alamos, making sure that American tourists weren’t bringing in too many blankets and liquor from Mexico, making sure our children were properly being taught the theory of evolution in public schools, looking around Amtrak stations to see if any train passengers looked “nervous”, spying on people who deal in bird feathers, making sure that people in the Southwest didn’t steal any desert cactus or rocks, making sure that men in commercial business offices don’t pinch their secretaries on the butt, scanning the internet for pornography, enforcing affirmative action programs, enforcing the no-smoking rules in federal buildings, fining vacationers for littering in national parks, and totaling up their future retirement benefits.

This operation has been in the planning for five years...so whose watch was that?

[Fred25]

Bill Clinton's.

[Fred25]

This modern era of lax intelligence agency attitudes toward domestic terrorists and domestic anti-Americans basically began with the Church Committee of the mid-1970s and the Carter administration. The Church Committee, the Democrats, and the liberal American media in those days were very hostile toward the FBI’s investigations of domestic radical leftists and terrorists, probably because so many sons and daughters of liberal politicians and media people were radical leftists in those days. It was also during that time that the old House Committee on Un-American Activities was abolished. If that Committee were still active today, it could have investigated some of these potential terrorists and it could have demanded to know what the FBI was doing to keep track of them.

>This modern era of lax intelligence agency attitudes ...

They can move fast when they need to.

Check out this thread I just put up: Chicago South Suburb gets 24/7 Air Surveillance

(Check out related threads. There were two "incidents" -- mostly high schoolers marching around chanting "USA USA..." From what I've heard they never got near the mosque. But, just days later, we get a surveillance plane droning overhead...)

I'm not a libertarian. I have no hatred for the government. But I'm starting to really dislike a lot of the people who are making decisions. That's for sure. Mark W.

[Fred25]

I think every mosque in this country that has pro-Americans belonging to it, should put up a large array of American flags on their lawns right now. We are in a war, and people need to let other people know where they stand.

I live not far from several important... uhh, “possible targets”, and I’m very upset that no military or law enforcement planes are circling around them. No troops, no cops, no tanks, no nuthin’. Some people don’t realize yet that we are at war.

[Fred25]

This just in... FBI just announced they are seeking to employ people who speak both Arabic and English, and they require that that person shall have been a US citizen for ONLY 3 years. I think that three-year limit is a stupid one. What’s wrong with requiring the people to be natural born citizens who have spent a lifetime here?
