La Cucaracha by Lalo Alcaraz for December 03, 2014

No comment.

Still has a bit of executive ordering to do in order to catch up with the others.

*Lalo’s unnecessarily bringing in race (white presidents).

Or he’s making a point about racial disparities in how this president has been treated compared to others.

*Lalo’s singling out Republicans as bad guys for wanting Obama to work within the Constitutional guidelines, and at the same time implying that Democrats apparently DON’T want that.

Or he’s pointing out that a perfectly legal and constitutional action by Obama is now hypocritically and cynically called not so by Republicans.

The rest of your points fall completely apart because your assumption that a president taking this sort of executive action isn’t legal is quite simply wrong.

Lalo the Beandocks Eater

He’s eating a place? I mean, I’ve heard of actors who chew up scenery…

all his supporters who love and slavishly worship him

Nice try at preemptively dismissing those who disagree with you. The problem is, facts are your enemy, as usual. But of course your dislike of brown presidents and cartoonists blinds you to this. And so you’ll natter on uselessly, working hard to poison the well of discussion, since there’s nothing else you can do about either of their existence short of dark fantasy.

How dare he compare himself to real Presidents?(sarc)

Some how I don’t think it’s very “justifying” to be compared to Nixion.

Obama says that he has to run the country as best he can on his own because the Republicans refuse to do their job. This simply makes it clear that he doesn’t understand what the Republican’s job is. The Republicans in congress are doing their job very well. If they can’t accomplish anything that Obama won’t veto, then they can stall so that the Democrats can’t accomplish anything either. Their intention is to keep everything just as it is, unless they can manage to return to the “good old days” of the 19th century, before there was a middle class and when only the landed gentry were voters. And, they have a great strategy for accomplishing this. 1. Disenfranchise everyone you possibly can, unless they are dependable Republican voters.2. Produce ads and media emphasis which emphasizes those politicians who are corrupt and incompetent. Paint all Democrats with the same slime. Lacking sufficient actual slime, simply make some up. This undermines the people’s trust in their government and makes them feel like helpless pawns, so they tune out the whole process, accept the status quo, and are even less likely to vote. 3. Support the “job creators”, who are the recipients of a huge portion of the GNP, although that GNP was produced by working people, who are receiving less benefit from it every day. This gives them the money to accomplish the other two goals, and leaves everyone except the “job creators” with increasingly less money to mount a counter campaign.

So, this is the way we are going lose the middle class and become a country inhabited only by the very rich 1%, and a 99% who are too busy working two jobs to survive to notice.

Mid terms, usual low turnouts, perfect for the extremist nuts to get their people voted in. Sadly.

Not to mention Democratic candidates in red states who seemed to do all they could to make themselves as uncompelling as possible.

So now you’re saying that that “racist” really doesn’t mean anything other than simply “bringing up disparities?”

Check your reading comprehension. Night-Gaunt is saying that it is not racist to bring up racial disparities. For instance, the disparity being pointed out in today’s strip. If you’re going to make an argument against a post, it’s not asking too much to understand what it says, is it? I suspect you’ll say it actually is.

Agrestic strikes again!She has said many times before that those who don’t remember are doomed to repeat history.Agrestic must not remember anything, because she is constantly repeating herself these days.

Nice attempt to conveniently misinterpret a saying. We can expect nothing less of you. On the other hand, one way of ensuring that folks do remember things is to remind them of it. So here we are.

And that cutsie trick of offering “or,..” kind of backfires, for offering another option to my observations, she is really acknowledging that mine are a viable possibility.

Or I’m using a well-established rhetorical construction to point out that your arguments have no merit. See how that works? Of course you don’t. And the fact that you don’t come back with any actual facts or further observations to back up your original observations simply serves to make my point further: what you say here has a strong tendency to be divorced from reality. Have fun with those pink elephants!

Agrestic’s civility experiment is officially over!

Yup. Experiment concluded (as I already previously mentioned), and the conclusions are that indie is impervious to civil discussion. So now, while you hypocritically complain about my demeanor, I’ll continue to dismantle your arguments, with no meaningful reply on the substance from you. As usual.

Unfortunately the political plumb has been pushed so far into the Right that it is scratching at the Reich Wing Door.

Yes and no. That’s where those in political power have pushed it. But the people of This Great Country™ actually seem to have other ideas, particularly around issues like fair wages, decriminalization of marijuana, and the like—at least, that’s what the ballot initiatives tell us. And polls consistently tell us that they even want immigration reform that’ll keep families together. The challenge is both to get everyone actually engaged in a sustained way and get them to stop voting for folks who clearly aren’t representing their interests—interests that they’ve expressed in actual votes on actual ballot measures.

I would like a heavy weight in the Right Wing to come in on the Right Wing side to add something to the discussion.

Now wouldn’t that be something?
