16. Over half the country are pets, huh? We know how well that worked out for us. (Warning: Graphic Pic)

They forgot one minor issue for their continued dominance of the discussion here. Our rights and our lives are not numbers on their profit and loss sheets, written off like Mitt's 47%.


(NOTE: The back story of this image is that those children were rescued.)


But the analogy remains. Their suffering is part of the idol of 'free trade' and the plantation mentality of the Libertarian Tea Party GOP. They only list 4 things that will make them vote LP that come from their status in society now, not ours.

None of them equate to the DNC platform, which they call 'statism' and us 'sheeple.' Yeah, we will organize to protect any institution, government, church, etc. that holds back the empowering entities of the Libertarian cultists from our 'liberty' and 'freedom' which will cost them money. That which is stolen from us is hidden by the 'invisible hand of the market' to them, but not to us.

Yes, my feelings are quite harsh. Since it's not just history and it's killing people now. As far as the 'Indieteapublicans' as JAG calls them are concerned, they expect us to stop squawking like chickens being crushed underfoot as the elephants dance.

We will not go easily. Keep on disrespecting us, and we might just bite, yes, we will become bad pets.

Their sacred property rights have not protected us, no, they supported real slavery and still do with their free market canard.

Then they call us Obama cheerleaders, partisans and other such things to put down what we need from government and society. Make no mistake, when they disrespect the process that so many died to create to give us a voice, they are disrespecting our humanity.

They want us to believe they are big philosophers, all full of theories and we are their intellectual inferiors.

I say we have transcended their view of reality and are going for much higher goals than their 4 sacred cows they try to beat us over the head with. No, we won't bow down to them. We won't submit to live by the charity that they say is the solution to poverty, which is just another way to deny us our rights.
