I felt the need to express my frustration in a cartoon.
Enjoy…
I, for some sadistic reason, keep up with politics. Also, I
draw. Well, I guess it was only a matter of time before I tried my hand at a
political cartoon. I think it turned out alright. I made my point. My only
regret is that I couldn’t figure out how to represent a teacher in shorthand,
seeing as how they are pretty much the main face of what Republicans are trying
to destroy. Republicans hate education. The rest were easy to depict in one shot.
Historically, police and fire unions back the Republican
Party in elections. Despite Wisconsin Governor Walker exempting them from the
royal screwing that all the other unions are getting (because they donated to
his campaign – which proves screwing unions was never about the budget – aside
from also removing collective bargaining from the budget so Republicans could
vote on it without Democrats present – in a manner against the Wisconsin
Constitution – then ignoring the law and trying to publish and enforce it
against a judge’s order – mini tangent), the police and fire unions, finding
the Governor’s actions heinous, protested along side the other unions against
him. Many other Republican governors did not even feel compelled to exempt
police and fire from their union busting crusades.
“Who are these evil teachers who teach your children, these
evil policemen who protect them, these evil firemen who pull them from burning
buildings? When did we all become evil?...There is going to be a backlash. We
are going to hold them accountable.”
- Chuck Canterbury, the national president of the Fraternal
Order of Police and former police officer in South Carolina
It is safe to say the police and fire unions should no
longer be taken for granted by the Republican Party.
