"Reason and facts are sacrificed to opinion and myth. Demonstrable falsehoods are circulated and recycled as fact. Narrow minded opinion refuses to be subjected to thought and analysis. Too many now subject events to a prefabricated set of interpretations, usually provided by a biased media source. The myth is more comfortable than the often difficult search for truth."

What is it with RWWs and "open borders"? Are you truly incapable of engaging on an issue without lying?
What are you doing about it?
Rhetorical?
There's a lot of things they didn't tell me when I signed on with this outfit....
Lies? Be nice.

Again, show me a credible Democrat politician or supporter calling for "open borders" (your phrase, not mine) or own the lie.
What are you doing about it?
Huh? You mean the cartoon? Chill.

Sorry. I really am missing your point.
bluedog - do you know the distinction between a straight 'political cartoon' and straight 'propaganda'?
The former, being rooted in truth, serves to illuminate the situation in a graphic way. They help the viewer understand the facts.
The latter, being rooted in a lie of some sort, serves to muddy the situation. They mislead the viewer to serve the agenda of the artist.
In this case, I'd have to agree with the Levitating Blackfish. Since the graphic is rooted in a (false) representation that the D's position is 'open borders'... what you posted was straight propaganda. A lie.
It would help if you kept that distinction in mind for the future.
