Extremely well crafted. Interesting that contraception coverage was mentioned twice. Before the republicans made it an issue likely few even knew it was in Obamacare.

The list of incremental tyranical laws that are being proposed and or already on the books sound like "1984". Combined with an ever evolving police state with never ending war and ever rising debt and you have a recipe for financial and sociatal collapse (paraphrased from reader comments to the following link)

I suppose we're fucking doomed, then.

You are right, totally doomed. Abe you better get out while you still can.

HEre's the current state of affairs in America:

(1) Tyrannical laws
(2) Evolving Police State
(3) Never ending war
(4) Ever rising debt

Aren't you concerned in the least? If you prefer socialism or communism we're certainly headed in the right direction, wouldn't you agree, comrade.

You are confused, 1,2,3,4 are the recipe of fascism. Know your ism's. Am I concerned? Concerned enough to get my money offshore and get multiple citizenships.

If I thought we were on a road to a totalitarian nightmare of any variety (and Bob is exactly right about fascism --know your isms) I'd be looking into a way out for me and my family, and following through on it before it's too late. That would be my responsibilty as a father and husband.

It's instructive to consider how the unfolding events of the 1930s must have looked to European Jews, socialists in the west, intellectuals in the east, homosexuals, Roma, dissenters, et cetera. And how radically their different responses (rational flight or denialist inaction) shaped --or erased-- the futures of their families and descendants.

If you think that is our road today, then you need to consider how your actions today compare to those of the people who survived the 1930s, 40s and 50s under Hitler and Stalin, and those who did not. Inaction is a choice. Choices have consequences. Consider wisely.

Inaction is a choice.

Ah. hem... yes:
"If you choose not to decide, you still have made a choice"

Didn't Osama specifically say he wanted Obama dead? I don't think Osama would vote for Obama.

I don't think Romney will do any better.

Frankly I think a box of tic-tacs would do a better job than both candidates.

Zzyzzx,

Your side by side double poster has lots of visual impact. Its actually quite disgusting. "Tax the Rich", "Spread the Wealth", punish success, "Fair Share", Economic Equality". Even the slogan is the same: "FORWARD" comrades.

Thats a proven recipe for failure, not a way to get America back on track.

I wonder how the libs can justify, rationalize or explain away the exact similarities of both posters?

Does he have to? I mean there's not even a bar.

I wonder how, in this day and age, Abe can not understand that Photoshop exists.

I am sure that he takes the Weekly World News very seriously, after all they do have pictures to prove their stories.

This is easily the most credulous utterance I have ever read.

Abe, listen, text in authentic Soviet propaganda posters is written in Russian. Ie: Руский язык. It has a different look, because it uses different letters from ours. Their alphabet is called "Cyrillic," and is more closely related to the Greek alphabet than our Latin-derived one.

There are other, more subtle stylistic points that give it away as a forgery. For example, you never see Lenin leading men off a cliff in authentic Soviet Poster art. No more than you ever see Obama leading men off a cliff in authentic Obama campaign material.

There is no hope for you.

Abe, the Democrats should put you on their payroll. You're doing a good job making Republicans look even more ridiculous than they already are.

Sadly, he could do better for one reason. His opposition would be humans who actually want what's best for the country and in at least many cases are smart enough to know that destroying the country is not better than allowing our leader a little success, simply because he's a member of the other corporate & plutocrat sponsored party.

No, no, no, its the mentality thats the same. Lenin and Obama's causes are identical.

Heavy progressive income tax
Spread the wealth
Economic equality
Fair share
Kill opportunity
Equal misery
Abolish success
Government dependency

Not a pretty picture, is it?

Honest Abe says

The ugliest picture on this forum is your obsession with dishonesty. It's so sad really.

You can get better Abe. Just experiment with objectivity.

Obamas most progressive fantasy would have someone with an income of 500K paying maybe 12 or 15K more than they pay now.

Is this really equal misery ? Or Abolishing success ?

DO you have any idea how much pity I feel for you ?
