Dmitri will back me up. This is really a Russian joke told in Russia.

"Under capitalism, man exploits man. Under socialism, the reverse is true."

So now we find ourselves in the midst of the election silly season. It arrives earlier every four years. When the points converge I dread to think of what you will have after that. Continual barrage of crap from one election to another, which is a propaganda state. I think that is worth keeping in mind as the cartoons grow sillier. Who knows. Someone might even get banned. It has only ever happened here to a conservative.

It's only happened to people who thought they could say whatever they wanted. Unless some specific "conservative" viewpoint is bannable, it's just a subtle slander. Yeah, there are things that people should be banned for, especially if and when they involve disrespecting other people here. It'd be better to argue that people who aren't "conservative" don't get banned. I'm sure if it's true that the conservatives won't let it go. Give some examples, and let's get them out of here But, imv, there are plenty of people who aren't "Liberals" here who have managed not to get banned. You know who you are

But, really, the claim of being "conservative" itself deserves a political cartoon because it's a joke.

The first symptom is to mistake frothing for making sense. Then you want to shut people up. I was the conservative banned for a cartoon. No one knows who made that complaint.

You're here, so you weren't "banned." I'd love to see the cartoon, or even know the topic. I'd be glad to tell you whether I thought it was ban-worthy or not. But, it just points out that merely saying something "conservative" (like "less government, lower taxes) won't ever get someone banned here.

chud, Steve James can see through the "I don't hate all black guys, just Obama" meme.

How many honorary degrees does Ben Carson have? That's more than Mike Tyson and less than Bill Cosby. Obama earned his degrees, though.

Failing memory is a sign of getting old, Steve. Just sayin'...
