Kellies nominations update: I'm now ~40% of the way through initial processing. My apologies for the ongoing delay. A goon has very kindly offered to attempt the development of tools that will make the nomination processing much faster in the future and spare my aching wrists.

quote:

“OUR DEMOCRACY-NOT YOURS”

We constantly hear politicians these days—especially Democrats—say “Our Democracy” when referring to America.

The problem is, it’s not true. Our country was founded as a Republic, not a democracy. The word ‘democracy’ does not appear in our Constitution. The founding fathers were wary of democracy. They knew democracies were dangerous and unstable. They end up leading to totalitarianism. It’s why Karl Marx stated, “Democracy is the road to socialism.” When you hear our politicians say ‘our democracy,’ what they really mean is ‘our socialism.’

In democracies, the people will vote for free stuff by means of stripping others of their private property. Our Republic was designed to protect individual rights. Under a democracy people will vote away such protection in favor of collective safety nets, bread and circuses, and big government control. We saw it happen in Venezuela. They used their democracy to vote for socialism and they all ended up equally poor and miserable under totalitarian rule.

The Democrats glibly repeat ‘our democracy’ at every turn, but they did not hesitate to steal a presidential election. Apparently the votes of Trump voters didn’t count. They were not part of the democracy owned by Democrats. Instead, Trump supporters were smeared as ‘insurrectionists,’ ‘white supremacists,’ or even ’terrorists.’ If they continue to strip us of our freedoms while forcing socialism down our gullets, then sure…many of us are going to push back.

The Socialist Democrats are the true insurrectionists and they should be resisted just as the Canadian truckers are resisting the tyrants in Ottawa. The Socialist Democrats are the real terrorists. They created tremendous fear during the fake pandemic. Fear of losing one’s employment unless dangerous (sometimes deadly) experimental injections were taken. That’s terrorism.

The Democrats insist that we count every vote and every vote counts, but to them it means counting illegal votes and votes from illegals. As we slide down the slippery slope toward democracy, we may find it impossible to restore the Republic. Ancient Rome certainly couldn’t do it.

If you can’t refrain from using the word democracy, at the very least call the United States a “Democratic Republic.”

— Ben Garrison

"Worst Olympic rings cartoon" needs to be a category for this year's Kellies, I think, even if the Olympics are only a small part of what's going to happen this year and there won't be any cartoons about it after they're over, it just seems like practically every political cartoonist has gone "Oh good, Olympics, just draw the rings as some bad things and boom, my job's done for the day."

No you idiot, that's basically nothing and if you can't get them, where do you expect to get votes to be anything more than a 0% joke?

The "death from covid/with covid" distinction talk from right wingers just reminds me of that dude from Chatterbox in GTA 3. The one who was like "Nobody's ever died from being shot by a bullet! They die of cardiac arrest or organ failure or massive blood loss, a small piece of metal ain't the problem!"

It's pretty cool how for the last two years we've seen the same idiots saying things like "once the government gets control over us with these rules, they'll never give it back" and "you're a fool if you think these mandates and restrictions will ever lift. This is permanent." It's also cool how now that all those things they said would never happen are happening (albeit obviously prematurely) they've immediately forgotten ever saying that. Very cool! Also extremely conductive to honest, good faith political discussion.

Guess they just complained loudly enough that the secret New World Order Jewish globalist cabal was like "shucks, too much work, let's back out!"
Amazing how easily foiled those guys are.
