2. America Held Hostage By Middle East Oil– 10.

Gadhafi and Fuel Prices
We like to think of ourselves as the most powerful nation on earth, yet our fragile economic recovery risks being strangled by, of all things, the reluctance of a semi-obscure North African madman to vacate his seat of power. Every day that he counterattacks and digs in is an extra day of turbulence and uncertainly in the world’s oil futures markets, with direct consequences to the prices of everything we consume here at home.
One could not blame the average American taxpayer for questioning the expenditure of so much of our treasure on the greatest defense machine in the history of mankind if we remain so vulnerable to discrete events in far-flung places. One way out of this mess is to begin thinking of “national defense spending” as something other than a series of jobs programs for defense workers scattered throughout a collection of congressional districts.
Hard as it might be for our representatives in Washington to get their minds around this, the fact is that every dollar spent on energy independence is a dollar we don’t have to spend worrying about keeping our oil supply lines open.
It’s up to us to educate our politicians that a salary earned by a voter manufacturing, say, photovoltaic cells consists of the same legal tender as a salary earned building tanks or bombers.

Dependence on foreign oil often means dependence on Arab regimes. It should be interesting to see how Americans embrace democracy in the Middle East when it means they’ll be paying more for gas.
— Rogers wonders if most Americans would support the spread of democracy in the Middle East if it meant that their own pocketbooks would be negatively affected by it

Union Envy
As unions grow less and less powerful in the US, it seems we’re losing our collective memory of why they are important, and also of what a decent job looks like…
I empathize with anyone trying to support a family on crap jobs like that — but this also illustrates how the working class plays right into the hands of the very elites who want to do away with unions. First, eliminate the good jobs that allow workers their fair share of the nation’s wealth; next watch them turn against each other…
Fortunately, polls show a majority of Americans support workers keeping their bargaining rights — so our case of crabs is not an epidemic, as some billionaires might have you believe.

5. Westboro Baptist Church: Exploiting the 1st Amendment

Anti-gay Funeral Protests
What the Westboro Baptist Church people are doing is so repugnant, so outside the bounds of human decency, that many of us hoped the Supreme Court would blow them out of the water.
Surely, we thought, their vicious hate spoeech and bizarre antics at military funerals — mocking the idea of military service to one’s nation and subjecting the families of the dead to further misery — constitute an abuse of the First Amendment…
Navigating their way through this fog of anger, however, eight justices of the Court realized that the beauty of the First Amendment lies in the fact that it can’t be abused. Other than crying “Fire!” in a crowded theater or inciting to riot, just about anything goes. They made a compelling argument, too, as to why Westboro’s right to spew its ugliness is just as precious as Martin Luther King’s right to give his “Dream” speech on the National Mall: The church members are addressing an issue in the national discourse, and they are doing it in a place that enjoys a particularly sacred status in the Constitution… the public street…
We can love the First Amendment or hate it, depending on the circumstances, but it’s ours. The inherent and inviolate broadness of the protection it provides is one of the many things that continue to make our country the envy of the world.

6. The GOP 2012 Presidential Field: Not a Contender Among Them
Mike Huckabee by Bob Englehart, Hartford Courant, Buy this cartoon
:: ::
Englehart is not at all impressed with either Mike Huckabee or Newt Gingrich as potential Republican candidates for 2012
The trouble with politicians like Mike Huckabee is that they are surrounded by toadies who tell them how right they are. Good politicians have someone in the organization who can tell them no and make the boss think. Huckabee doesn’t have a prayer to be elected president of the United States. Well, he has a prayer, but that’s all he has.
It’s good fun to watch and listen to these early candidates make fools of themselves. I can’t wait until Newt makes an announcement. He has more baggage than a 747 on the way to Australia.

Unplanned Parenthood
As you may have heard, House Republicans are looking to solve our nation’s economic problems (not) by defunding Planned Parenthood. What you may not know is that there are currently over 4,000 anti-choice “crisis pregnancy centers” around the country, more than five times the number of abortion providers. These largely “faith-based” operations, known for disseminating medically-dubious advice, received at least $60 million under the Bush administration. (You’ll recall the many Republicans who howled about that instance of deficit spending, no? Hmm… neither do I.) So, in a sense, Unplanned Parenthood already exists, and this cartoon is merely absurdist exaggeration. I hope.

A Note About the Diary Poll
Mike Luckovich, Comics.com (Atlanta Journal-Constitution)
:: ::
What do you think of the (almost) month-long protests against the Republican Party in Wisconsin? Do you feel encouraged, discouraged, or are indifferent to this political uprising?
Will these protests revive the labor movement, put the GOP on the political defensive, and result in long-term gains for the working classes? With recall elections in the works for WI state legislative seats and a real possibility that even the Governor of Wisconsin may be recalled in 2012, what does this mean for the Democratic Party and the Progressive Movement?
Share your thought i the comments section and don’t forget to take the diary poll. Thanks.

Hi Kaili,
Here are six editorial cartoons on Tea Party racism in HTML format and hopefully you can use some of them. I pasted them in a draft Daily Kos diary and they look ok in Preview.
Two things. Please use the attributions for each cartoon exactly as I have done. As MB knows it well, I have an arrangement with and permission from a couple of cartoon syndicates to use them in my DK diaries/comments. These are not free and I just want to make sure I’m complying with their requirements. See the below thread for details
http://www.dailykos.com/commen…
I have kept the width at 500 for each cartoon. As you know, you can adjust it to fit it in your front page post. Per the DK FAQ ‘Pictures and Images,’ you can also align them left or right.
http://www.dkosopedia.com/wiki…
Email me if you have any problems when you paste and preview the editorial cartoons.
Ned
