Bob McCarty Writes

In a day and age when elected officials in Washington, D.C., seem to be treating the American people more like turkeys than bosses, I offer the Thanksgiving Day cartoon above as representative of how many Americans feel on this special day.

Though I’m not advocating violence against elected officials (at least, not yet), the thought crossed my mind that the turkeys in the cartoon represent taxpayers who are angry over the fact that their elected officials seem to be dragging the country toward socialism.  Conversely, the pilgrim tied to the table is a member of Congress who ignores the will of the people and votes in favor things like government-run health care, bailouts for automakers, banks and insurance companies and so-called stimulus packages.

I’m thankful on this day for all I have.  At the same time, I’m not eager to give it up.  That’s why I will continue the good fight for truth, justice and the American way…INSTEAD of socialism!

WARNING: My liberal friend, David Donar at Political Graffiti, drew the cartoon above.  If you visit his blog, you’ll find a link to a PETA commercial supposedly banned from television, below the turkey day cartoon.  So just ignore it if you want to avoid exposure to the upside-down views of PETA.
