Right wing political cartoonists are always doing this kind of thing. I don't think I can entirely comprehend it. quote:It is ruled by a scheming politician (the Wizard) who uses publicity devices and tricks to fool the people (and even the Good Witches) into believing he is benevolent, wise, and powerful when really he is a selfish, evil humbug. He sends Dorothy into severe danger hoping she will rid him of his enemy the Wicked Witch of the West. He is powerless and, as he admits to Dorothy, "I'm a very bad Wizard". Suffice to say, really excellent cartoon Ben.

Politics in those days worked the same as now. Someone might be a Republican because they are anti-abortion but might not care about tax policy. Except in those days there was less platform uniformity.

Grand Prize Winner posted:Back in 1905 or some poo poo like that, the city of San Francisco had a parade/festival celebrating the Spanish (note: certainly not Mexican) roots of California, while absolutely forbidding non-whites from participating. National Hero Jack Johnson responded by getting two white prostitutes into a convertible and racing down the parade route waving at shocked whites, possibly while drunk off his rear end. the goat

This argument is always exactly the same as cheaters use. "I didn't choose someone else over you, it wasn't about you personally, I didn't even want him/her, I just needed an escape." Just the vaguest stretches of rationalization to avoid saying the simple truth of what happened.

It's such a worn out canard at this point it's not even edgy, it's just lame and pathetic. As somebody who grew up in the South and was raised on Confederate revisionism it's really infuriating that anybody would be this opportunistic about it. Especially when it's coming from some Canadian loser.

Only one particular class had anything to do with international commerce.
