Doonesbury by Garry Trudeau for May 27, 2015

“…the fascist regime!”-(Sorry, I couldn’t help myself.)

I remember a joke from a year or so later, after the pound coin was introduced: Why do we call this coin “the Maggie”? Because it’s thick, brassy and thinks it’s a sovereign.

@dukedoug Classic song by the Sex Pistols. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yqrAPOZxgzU

BTW, who won? (Or did it just keep lingering on like so many?)

You can count yourself lucky.

@sporty: common sense lost.

I loved Ronald Reagan

There is a difference between disliking any government at all and disliking government which reaches into our lives for nonessential purposes..The freedom to be left alone is important.

Don’t anyone tell LRN about Reagan’s 17 tax increases, or signing a pro-abortion bill as governor. His head would ’splode.

“The uploader has not made this video available in your country.”

Or in other words, while freedom’s freedom,tyranny’s tyranny, no matter the name you put on it.

“It apparently came as quite a shock to the Argentinians that the US, despite the Monroe Doctrine, favored the UK in this dispute.”.We threw out the Monroe Doctrine when JFK decided to allow the USSR to remain in Cuba..Add to that, the question of whether islands hundreds of miles from the Americas are part of the area in question and if the citizens identified with any particular country. Simply being invaded by a south american country doesn’t automatically make you south american.

My feelings are hurt because you consider the concept of personal freedom an unexplained tautology..Anything an individual wishes to do which does not hurt other individuals, is a thing he or she should be free to do. Nor should you insist that I take part in your exercise of your freedom because that is limiting mine. Those who attempt to deprive others of personal freedom are enslavers and should be resisted strongly, you bumper sticker hater.
