unclelumpy points out this... lessee, what's the right word? Asinine? Moronic? Wish-fulfilling? Jingoistic? Pathetic little fantasy featuring Sean "If I Only Had A Brain" Hannity, G. Gordon "A Heart" Liddy, and Oliver "Da Noive" North as leaders of "an underground group of bio-mechanically enhanced conservatives" trying to thwart Usama bin Laden in 2021.Words do not fail me, by any means, but half of them are basically just hearty, derisive laughter, and most of the rest frankly have to do with the delusions, sociopathy, and penis sizes of these flakes. Except for my lament that Larry Elmore, an artist I like and respect, did the cover. Sigh.

When exactly did the Republicans become "The Veruca Salt Party"?

Date: 2005-07-28 07:44 pm (UTC)It's become impossible to argue with them, too, because they aren't making any fucking sense. When someone's argument is about as logically comprehensible as "fleegle nawda zoom", how do you argue with that? What can you possibly say to something that is utterly devoid of rational thought?

Date: 2005-07-28 08:18 pm (UTC)A lot of the Neocons and the Theocons are like this. They got handed a sales pitch. They learn to follow the sales pitch. They repeat it. They're replicants, marketdroids. They're the Amway of politics and religion.
Admittedly like all pyramid schemes it can't last, but the results are ugly in the meantime.

Date: 2005-07-28 08:13 pm (UTC)I'm actually quite serious about it. The Neocons and the warbloggers and the like are living in some bizarre Alternate Reality they've whipped up to stoke their various fantasies and agendas. This is just another example, and a rather sad one it is.
I'd like to think this is a parody, but it doesn't seem to be. Though these days, irony is kinda dead.

Date: 2005-07-28 08:33 pm (UTC)The whole "Reality-Based Community" meme came from an interview in which one of the Bushinistas explained that "We create our own reality, and you will be left to talk about it."
Back on-topic
I'm thinking of inventing a drinking game to go with the comic:
Every time there's a reference to the French, boo hiss, take a shot.
Every time an appeal is made to sacrifices made in war, take a shot.
Every time criminal activity in the name of Conservatism, all hail, is glorified, take a shot.
Every time Vice-President Moore (or President Chelsea Clinton) is mentioned, take a shot.
Every time someone pronounces a 'C' as a 'K', take a shot.
Other additions?

Anyway.
