In God we trust, but verify.

 Axe of God

Ah, Republicans.

Those saintly, sober, generous souls who work ceaselessly to succor the weak have once again thrown themselves unselfishly into the fiery fray to save our immortal souls.

At great risk to their political futures they have banded together in the House of Representatives to bring forth a bill which will now and forevermore deliver all devout Americans into the loving arms of the one, true, North American, Protestant, Caucasian God. If this law miraculously passes the heathen Senate and somehow avoides the treasonous veto pen of Satan's Own President then every school and federal building will soon bear those most sacred of words, "In God We Trust".

For decades Jews, socialists and accordion repairmen have waged war against the Holy Phrase, conspiring to condemn it to the black hole of obscurity, though there have been small pockets of success. For instance, if you look close enough you can almost discern this redeeming phrase on the billions of coins and paper currencies that circulate throughout our country, but that's not enough according to the beatific Congressman J. Randy Forbes (R-VA). According to Mr. Forbes it needs to stand out in large, bold letters on all taxpayer-funded buildings, those monuments to pagan deviance.

Just imagine.... atheist children will wither and die on the doorstep of their local schools at the mere sight of the phrase, the eyeballs of homosexuals will fall from their sockets upon entering the local DMV, muslim's will spontaneously combust when trying to pay a traffic ticket, and members of the ACLU will simply dissolve into a sooty pile of their own smugness.

Soon all that will be left in America are God's children and a new era of peace and prosperity will reign. With the Lord's help there will be no crime or divorce, no drugs or alcohol. No need for Fox News or big trucks or gambling. No guns or porn or....

Oh, man! What the fuck are those guys thinking?�

Thinking? Only if it you drop a coin in their cup will they ponder a thought.
Famous old sign popular in local stores during the '50s

And my other favorite.."Jesus Saves"....."String"
OK, you'd have had to be there.
If God continues to remain incommunicado, then, when in doubt, we should always trust the most manipulative deceptive demagogue!!
One has to wonder if the people initiating this bill truly believe it has some essential worth. More than that, in a country with rampant unemployment, unprecedented poverty and homelessness, and a never ending cavalcade of foreign wars, I have to wonder where these people find the time to work on such legislature.
LOL, In God we trust...Soon the banks will be using that..or are they already?
Ah, Republicans. Those saintly, sober, generous souls who work ceaselessly to succor the poor and the weak...

You spelled "sucker" wrong!
I only hope there are enough brain cells left in the USA to start a fire.
Call 9-11 and ask for Dr. The Far Side.

But all art is sensual and poetry particularly so ...
It doesn't declaim or explain, it presents.

The Moon will get overly crowded and polluted.
The Moon is just a tiny sliver sliver. We can wait.
Let's move to the Moon when it get bitter bigger.
The Moon has a Moo Cows Ice Cream Creamery.
Obviously you shouldn't trust God to do your spelling or grammar check. You should, however, still do one.
Theism is the last refuge of the scoundrel.
There are a few accordion repairmen out there grumbling, but otherwise, right on.
In God we trust? Is that why we have a higher infant mortality rate than some of those deviant and pagan third world countries? Anybody want to hazard an opinion on that one?
I thought this was the Age of Aquarius! Get those Capricorns out of here. That is so last century. sigh. Good cartoon. Thanks.
For all his many grievous faults, Josef Stalin had the right idea about how to deal with reactionaries.
LOL

Thinking? They don't have two brain cells to rub together! It's all based on "faith." R
