Oh really? Aside from whining about McCain not being conservative enough to suit him he's been mostly focusing on how much he hates Obama and the Democrats. Doonesbury on the other hand will be just as hard on Obama as it was on Bush.<BR/><BR/>When you favor only one side over another, you're not writing satire, you're writing propaganda.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33297721.post-78902028800091873052008-12-02T18:29:00.000-08:002008-12-02T18:29:00.000-08:00Think about it.

I would disagree with about half of it, but it'd have a way chance at being funny.<BR/><BR/>Most American Libertarians (at least, those I've met in person or online) are, like Mallard, "Libertarian" only on things that affect themselves, and not others, e.g. Torture? It's bad for them, but o.k. for dusky-skinned people from hard-to-spell places. <BR/><BR/>Call them "Situational Libertarians"<BR/><BR/>===<BR/>P.S. Obama wears a flag pin, Mallard doesn't.
