So what're ya hopin' to gain by occupyin' a fed'ral facility? t' force the guv'ments hand! Fahse theah hand about what? Over reach of fed'rul authority in takin' what the almighty ordained as belongin' to us!! Ok... I'm lost heah.. It means he doesn't want to pay any taxes You make it sound a lot less noble when you summarize it... oh
I guess this needs to be clarified for some here.
1. This is NOT an editorial cartoon, it is topical humor. Yes, there is a fine line there, but a distinct line nonetheless, and done no differently than any of my other cartoons.
2. This series is not ABOUT the events in Oregon. If it was, I would have specified it as such. This series was done several weeks ago and I had no idea what would be going on with it this week. This is simply a satire on the MINDSET that produces such events, of self-styled “militias”, who are always comprised of angry White males pretending to be super-patriots, but are really only trying to get out of paying taxes.
3. A satirist can assess how well the work is on target by how loudly those who identify with the target yell. You guys are very loud today. Thank you!
