Non Sequitur by Wiley Miller for January 08, 2009

The rabble has been roused. Storm the Bastille.

WW, I’m with ya.

A thousand points of light…

They’ll just join the circus of voters who wanted their interests protected.

The question we should be asking ourselves is, How many Representatives and Senators will exit the little car in the center ring?

ANandy: That’s pretty funny!!

…and it’s long overdue!

The REAL Million Man March. Just what this country needs.

The Bush family is not packing up fast enough, I see.

It’s not the Bush family, it’s the democratic congress that undermined everything Bush tried to do. Please check all your facts and not the media led fictions we are told.

Oh yes, the poor Bush family! Give me a break. Better yet, Give me a break from the Bush family. Oh yeah, that’s right, we will be getting a break shortly. THANK GOD!!! And no…George doesn’t have a personal claim on God. I can’t believe somebody thinks that Bush had everything he tried to do undermined. I just wish it were true.

I’d rather have a New York Times media-led fiction than a Bill O’Reilly media-led fiction any day.

Umm … if I recall, Bush had a Republican congress his first six years and it’s only been the past two years that the Democrats have been able to rein in his ruinous policies.

Let me guess, revtry. Fox News?

I wasn’t aware that the Democratic Congress was “reining in” Bush excesses. AS far as I can tell, they have given him everything he wanted. And argued on TV that it was necessary.

Riiight… King GWB never had any of his policies enacted.

Twit

Party has nothing to do with it…Republican or Democrat, our beloved Congress rarely votes down a payraise. But I suppose they need it if they’re going to take two years off of their Capitol Hill duties to run for even-higher office…long campaigns get awfully expensive.

revtry (and all those who followed with comments on him) what makes you think there is a difference other than name between Dems and Reps? We have RINOs and DINOs in the popular parlance, but I say we need Public Servants in Name Only or PSINOs – sounds like Psychos if you say it fast, and isn’t that and interesting co-inkidink?

In two years people will look at our country and dream, wish, and pray for a president like Bush, not because he is great, but because what we have will be so ruinous and destructive to America.

revtry: “In two years…”

Clairvoyant, are you? I guess it depends on what you believe to be “ruinous and destructive” to America and what, exactly, you believe “America” to be.

See, my belief about America is that we are as the founding fathers envisioned. The past 8 years have, indeed, been ruinous and destructive to those ideals.

However, if you fully believe those ideals envisioned by the founding fathers are ruinous and destructive to America, then perhaps you’re exactly correct.

Well, Obama did say yesterday that he hoped Congress would work nights and weekends if necessary to get the economic stimulus plan worked out and adopted. So the extra pay is for all those extra hours they’ll be putting in. Really. (Dang, my tongue is stuck to my cheek again…)

danielsangeo So, you’re saying the Dems believe that the founding fathers believed in a socialist state? I think you meant to say the “floundering fathers”

Since the Democrats are not pushing for a socialist state, I’m not going to answer that question. And I agree with Wiley here.

Congress enacted an amendment 1989 which says that they get an automatic pay raise (COLA?) unless they specifically reject it, which they did every year until 2000.

Makes me wonder which party was in the majority in the Congress in 2000…

Sorry Coach Wiley. (douces torch) I guess we’re all a little edgy lately.

Great Nooz strip! Sir.

Not to defend congress, but they do have to support three households…one in DC, one in their home state, not to mention their girlfriend(s)!

Though you may be right in a few points there, Wiley, I’m sorry to say you do not own this site and really can’t say what goes on here. No matter what happens. You sort of asked for it when you wrote these kind of strips.

I agree that Bush made some mistakes while in office, every president this country has ever had has made mistakes while in office. However, anyone of you who actually believes that Obama being in charge of this country is going to make this country a better place are simply victims of the Obama/Media mind control tactics that got him elected in the first place. Unless of course you relish the idea of living in a socialist state and handing over the soverign rule of this country to a one world government run by the UN, all while being systematically stripped of the rights granted and/or protected by the US Constitution. If that is your idea of the future than I suppose I can understand why you seem to give Obama a savior complex. On the other hand, if you enjoy your rights and freedoms and believe that the US should maintain soverign rule and not bow to the demands of the UN then you should be scared to death at the prospect of Obama being in office. The only hope this country has at this point is to hope and pray we can keep Obama from doing any irreparable damage over the next four years until we can send him running from the white house with his tail tucked firmly between his legs.

Bravo Leonard!

You are completely wrong on every point. Not only does Obama NOT want to “hand sovereignty over to the UN”, he also does NOT want a socialist state and, in case you hadn’t noticed, our rights were being stripped away under the current administration. Obama is seeking to RESTORE those rights.

If you believe otherwise, you might simply be the victim of the Limbaugh/Media mind control tactics that caused you to blither without evidence or facts.

I’m not sure where you get your claims from, Leonard, but it’s certainly not from reality.

Unless, of course, you won’t mind posting evidence for your assertions. Y’know, like claims from Obama himself or his administration?

However, remember, this is about pay raises. At what point do we as Americans assert our constitutional right to tell Congress what to do? Remember, they work for us, we don’t work for them.

Economics Made Easy!

I’m a hard core Conservative, so Mr. Wiley and I don’t agree on much.

But, this strip has my complete agreement.
