Another country heard from. . .



David Horsey's latest collectivist propaganda. We really are two countries, you know.

Horsey's a horsey's ass.

You can tell who the people peddling the bullshit (propaganda) fear by looking at who they attack. They go after Sarah Palin with a ferocity seldom witnessed. While essentially ignoring most of the GOP contenders, they they go after Michelle Bachmann and now Rick Perry like starving wolves. Kurt Hofman said it just about perfectly. "I believe that being despised by the despicable is as good as being admired by the admirable." Only point on which we disagree is that I sort of think being despised by the despicable might even be BETTER.

And didn't it happen just that way?

I see nothing unusual about the cave-womans remark, and nothing wrong with what the cave-man said. Funny how the truth works it's way.

You ever get insulted by someone and the insult is really not insulting?

I find that cartoon funny but not the way he may have intended it to be funny.

It is indeed another country, called "Seattle".

It is a place with politics of madness, doing everything that has gone wrong for other places insisting "It will be different this time because our planning classes are so much smarter and more sophisticated than your planners". Uhhh, not so much, re: light rail in Portland OR vs. light rail in Seattle WA.

Of course the "actual objectives" of central planning are indeed achieved. The desired effect of doubling or tripling congestion on arterial streets WITHOUT more vehicles passing through is and has been achieved! Making previously-good and desirable middle-class neighborhoods into "diverse" and "affordable" neighborhoods via rezoning for "high-density" and light rail terminals to bring in car-less gang members to patrol on foot with spray paint and no irritating license plates to trace back. Lack of rail security means that gang homies don't even need to pay to ride the rails! All that is left is to allow 24 hour liquor stores to open in close proximity to the rail stops to bring the cultural glory that is Colton California to the wet PNW. Seattle is only about 15 years behind Portland Oregon in this madness.

Imho, the fact of Washington State and Oregon have State preemption of firearms, along with "shall issue" concealed carry has prevented NYC/DC/Chicago-style suppression of a previously free people while criminals run free in the urban centers. Our local criminals are quite timid (or sporting gang accessories like wheelchairs and colostomy bags) by the time they reach their late 20's due to the 10-20% of non-LE frequent concealed carriers and 50% of armed homes.

I've been looking at David Horsey cartoons since the early 1980's (Post Intelligencer when it was a Seattle daily) and he's always been this way. Much of Seattle agrees completely with him.

Thanks.
