Bear, these are a really good batch.  You must have been cooking all day long. ;-)
I like...the FDR one best, I guess.  Hard to choose.

Actually, I just came across them a while ago, over a Cagle's site. I've hardly been on the computer the last couple of days. Been a bit hectic around here.

Actually, it was a couple I didn't post that intrigued me.

This one is from a Mexican cartoonist, Antonio Neri Licon, a/k/a "Nerilicon", apparently in response to the plan to build a fence along the border:

This one is from a cartoonist who is published in Mexico and Cuba, known only as Ares, and seems to be a commentary on America's waning power and/or prestige in the eyes of the world.

A better fence on the border seems like a good idea and a done deal , perhaps it can be accompanyed with a more organised and reasonable greencard and guest worker program , but is fascism everything that one does not like?


The Unckle Sam with a Flaccid big stick is pretty good , but does it motivate an "Us" or a "Them"?

Beats me, ol' buddy. Ask those who keep babbling on about Islamofascism. Personally, I think it (and Hitler comparisons) are way overused.

And personally, I think it's applied quite specifically & appropriately, with many a post validating its use.  The "overuse" claim appears to be more of a discrediting effort, when other tacts of such have been shown to be waning.
