I think the posting of on topic political cartoons can be a good way to revive a long dormant, but still potentially relevant thread, or just stimulate conversation.

I had no problem with whomod doing it either, provided they were on topic.

I acknowledge that the non-wacko opponents of the Patriot may have good intentions. On the other hand, and something the cartoon touches on, even well intentioned efforts can have dangerous results.

In the cartoon at hand, the opponents of the Patriot Act are telling the military/government that they believe the act is unnecessary to the war on terror. However, the cartoonist argues (through his picture) the Patriot Act is a major weapon in that war and taking it away would cripple our defenses.

There's nothing in the cartoon to really suggest that the opponents actually want Al Quaeda to win, simply that their efforts, however well intentioned are taking away a valuable weapon in the war on terror.



Bow ties are coool.
