Capital Times cartoonist Mike Konopacki, whose politics have been discussed here before, recently helped Tom Link with his newest banner (photo at link) in Madison. You see, Link, like Konopacki, is out there on the lunatic fringe of the Democratic party, and he is known for hanging banners protesting the war and George W. Bush on a building he owns in the city. Together, Link and Konopacki crafted a yellow ribbon banner. At the top and bottom of the banner, it says "God Bless Torture." They are trying to be cute. I'm waiting for their first attempt at substance. Where is the banner protesting honor killings? Where is the banner protesting UN soldiers raping women in third world countries and sexually harassing their own female employees? Where is the banner protesting China's attempts to subjugate free Taiwan?
You won't see them. Those who loathe their own nation have trouble seeing beyond that to some of the bigger problems in the world. It is unfortunate that some old hippies never grew up like most of their friends did. That's why their rhetoric sounds like it was written by a 15 year old.

Lunatic is a good description. Only Madison would tolerate such people. Well, maybe Berkeley that adores the drugged out and the demented.
It isn't that such people don't see the problems of the world. It's just that they are unable to visualize a world without chaos. Few realize that THEY are the problem, not the solution.
Freeking nut cases.
