La Cucaracha by Lalo Alcaraz for November 12, 2010

Love the white mouth-hole included in the silhouette.

Lalo – one of the few cartoonists who can think smart and draw funny. In this he’s got GT beat.

Lalo, you have a way of showing it like it is.

The founder of the “conservative” movement was the Communist party member Irving Kristol. Millionaires hired him for his skills in Bolshevik tactics like agitation and propaganda (“Agitprop”) and scapegoating actual patriots, the “liberals” whom “conservatives” scapegoat right now.

Nobel prize winner Paul Krugman quotes Kristol: Kristol had a “rather cavalier attitude toward the budget deficit and other monetary or fiscal problems” because “the task, as I saw it, was to create a new majority, which evidently would mean a conservative majority, which came to mean, in turn, a Republican majority — so political effectiveness was the priority, not the accounting deficiencies of government.”

Whom do “conservatives” admire: Professor Krugman who wins the Nobel Prize for the US; or the unrepentant Communist Irving Kristol? You guessed right! The chickenhawk dope-using deserter W humiliated the US once again and awarded Irving Kristol the Medal of Freedom. Kristol laughed at Bush for his stupidity, just like the millionaire sponsors (the Koch brothers, Rupert Murdoch, etc.) laugh at the “t” party (toady? tantrum? traitor?) for theirs.

^ That was good. I’ve heard W more lately than I did the 8 years he was prez. Worse than W is Kanye.

As I said, by your Communist-inspired creed, lunatic “conservatives” like remotely-controlled minor here scapegoat actual patriots like me (US military, taxpayer, parent, etc.). Stop your race-baiting rants and learn the facts: After the 1964 election showed the GOP that Goldwater was a loser, wealthy individuals hired Kristol to work Quisling treachery against all Americans, including Americans who happen to be Jews.

This example (also from Nobel laureate Krugman in 2007) shows that it is you who are anti-Semitic in conflating the Kristol family’s treachery (a family-owned business) with their purported religion: “Wednesday, President Bush vetoed legislation that would have expanded S-chip, the State Children’s Health Insurance Program, providing health insurance to an estimated 3.8 million children who would otherwise lack coverage. In anticipation of the veto, William Kristol, the editor of The Weekly Standard, had this to say: “First of all, whenever I hear anything described as a heartless assault on our children, I tend to think it’s a good idea. I’m happy that the president’s willing to do something bad for the kids.”” That is nothing my partly Jewish family members believe in.

So, by your rant, can Mexico follow Israel’s example about its “settlers” in Palestine and deploy tanks to invade the US to protect mistreated illegal aliens?

Irving Kristol started out as an avowed Trotskyite, so Communist is an apt term. But like many firebrand Leftists, with age he turned increasingly conservative in a style which came to be called “NEO-conservative”, with many taking Kristol to be the founder and arch-example. But I have trouble understanding what “neo-con” means because it seems a pointless hodge-podge of conflicting beliefs.

As for Paul Krugman, despite whatever contributions he may have made to economic theory, he is an unabashed advocate of the welfare state. You know, welfare state: the form of socialism in which the government nationalizes the taxpayer.
