Coming Soon đ At the beginning of April, youâll be
introduced to a brand-new GoComics! See more information here. Subscribers, check your
email for more details.
I remember those daysâŠ.and the contractors who advertised they would come on your property and build you an underground shelterâŠ.complete with fan, ladder, etc. I never took it seriousâŠ..I was too busy watching our new black and white TV, with 2 channels available, and Annette Funicello wearing Micky Mouse ears on the Micky Mouse Show. AhhhhhhâŠ..
Now that Dallas is buried deep in the ground, someone should put a lock on the lid. It could be the act that saves humanity from becoming a bunch of wild eyed mutants. On the other hand, we may be going down that road anyway.
The Regan era was WAY past Annette and company. Heck I remember watching jet contrails in 1980 and imagining they were ICBMs headed in or out. President Reaganâs policies brought down the Berlin Wall and ultimately toppled the oppressive Soviet regime. A Democrat Party program during those years would have put us all in chains.
Bomb shelters, dirty bombs and airline terrorists â same tune different lyrics.
And BTW. the Berlin Wall came down because the Soviet system imploded from its own weight. Reagan was LUCKY that happened because his policies would have been disastrous if theyâd been done in the 1950s or 60s.
It MIGHT have worked in the 40s but then again, what sort of world do we want to live in? One where âmight makes rightâ or one where people get to choose their own path?
âNuke them into the stone ageâ works if you donât mind living in the stone age too. We need a better response to those who would do us harm than simply killing. There are always more who you donât kill, and if you kill enough, you make EVERYONE an enemy (rightfully so!). We now have Islamic terrorists instead of Russian Cossacks ⊠when the Islamic systems collapse from their own weight there will be another one waiting in the wings âŠ. Iâm not holding my breath for change though â weâve been trying this system over and over for thousands of years, and still think the answer to prevent the situation is more of what weâve been doing.
When individuals do that (continue the same action expecting different results) it is called âpsychosisâ; and there are medicines for that. When countries do it, itâs called âgood thinking, practical conservatismâ and there apparently is not a cure for that. SIgh.
I donât know the answer, but I know what it ISNâT. If YOU know the answer, please let us all in on the secret. There is a prize given out annually and I guarantee youâll win it if you come up with the answer to world peace. It is named after the guy who invented TNT and there is even some money attached to it if you win âŠ. Go for it smart people! :)
Did it ever occur to you that this is a COMIC STRIP? Itâs intended to be FUNNY? Your self-righteous introspective on the state of humanity and politically skewed opinions of American history pretty much suck the life out of the strip and bore the bleeep out of the rest of us.
Reaganâs policies did have a hand in speeding up the inevitable demise of the USSR. He upped the ante, and they could not afford to stay in the game. They probably would have maintained the facade for another decade or two.
This WAS a political strip McDangerous. It was as backward and left leaning as it could be, as often as Breathed could make up some new backhanded, liberal fairytales, much like the network news does now, and Bloom County made no bones about being just to the side of Doonesbury with their wacko left nonsense. You should be able to see that from this strip alone, and the foolish responses that go right along with it.

âMy fellow Americans, Iâm pleased to tell you today that Iâve signed legislation that will outlaw Russia forever. We begin bombing in five minutes.â (August 11, 1984)
And today we get equally mature and intelligent reporting from Rush Lamebrain and the Faux News Channel.
Yes Sherlock I much prefer the intellectual musings and brilliant commentary such as your post and the equally witty Al Frankenâs âRush Limbaugh Is A Big Fat Idiot.â You two go together quite nicely. All class.

I think Milo made that one up, but Steve, being Steve, should probably stay hunkered down for, say, a year or twoâŠ.

Ronnie Raygun had his spaceship ready to evacuate Washington had his program of nuclear intimidation actually worked.

If any system is likely to âcollapse from their own weight â itâs more likely to be Western capitalism than Islam!

Amen, MrDangerous. I presume your brush is painting the whackos on both sides.
