So Dave, you're basically saying anything that makes fun of the president or his initiatives, is racist? We shouldn't criticize him, or compare his voodoo health plan to witch doctoring, because you and your ilk think it's racist? FYI you got the tribal part of the cartoon right but I have it on pretty good authority the garb in the photochop is American Indian. Wow, how offensive and racist to insinuate any Native American heritage.


In fact, the more I hear it, the more I think "That's racist!" has become the rallying cry of liberals in this country, perhaps because they don't have any real substance to get offended over.

It wasn't racist when Dubya was portrayed as a monkey. It would be if O was, even though his ears DO make him look like curious george, regardless of his skin color.

Julie – I think you photoshop was hilarious and enjoyed the opportunity to laugh a bit when the subject is so bitter. I think many people have lost the art of laughing at themselves. I do find it disturbing that you’re a cat person, but hey lets try to all get along.

I don’t appreciate being mandated to carry health insurance. I thought I was living in America, land of the free. I don’t know that just doesn’t sound very free.

I do have health insurance but you know what I find odd. When I asked if I could cover my little sister and her son, because they have no health care. I was told NO, I can only buy cover for a spouse, same sex partner or any children that I am the legal guardian of. What the heck!!!!!

They are my family and want to cover them, what difference does it make to anyone? If I wanted to place coverage of the old lady down the road it should not matter to the insurance company.

Julie, with all due respect, if anyone has to explain how that is racist to you, then you would not understand.

If you were ever to meet a Tuskeegee Airman, would you be comfortabe have a knee-slappin' laugh in front of them with that picture? (you can google that if you've never heard of them)

As I get older, I try to be a little more sensitive to what my be hurtful to others. That picture does't hurt me one bit, but there are many who would be, so I try to curb it a little bit when I see it. I'm no policeman, but you might find life more enjoyable if you try to channel more postive energy, and less hatred.

Have a nice day,
