Dear World, Please boycott everything American
      

including those from multinationals which are partially American.

Our corporate overlords are going to do their best to get American to expand its contribution to global warming instead of helping to slow down or reverse the problem.

The American voters are clearly unable to solve the problem without your help.

Thank you.

9. yes it may be
   but a huge worldwide pushback on the US will have more impact than a mere voter.
Personally I am not going to spend an unnecessary penny.
Let the US wallow for a couple of more years and we might force change for the better.
The delusional with have to realize that the GOP doesn't have any answers.
   


OMG a DUmmy isn`t going to spend any money. (yawn)

Wow, they hate Obama so much they just want to guarantee he is a one-termer.  I wonder what kind of racial animus might be behind this?

If these nitwits are boycotting America, I fully expect them to return their Dell computers (made in Tennessee), their Whirlpool appliances (again, made in Tennessee), their Toyotas, BMWs, Nissans, Hyundais, Kias, and Volkswagens (made in the south), to cancel their private health insurance (mostly likely administered in one US state or another, probably Delaware, North Carolina, or Tennessee), and to resume their productive lives living off the labors of Mexico, China, and Honduras.  I'll wave as you stand by the side of the road in your broken-down car wearing your ill-fitting clothes and your cell phone with no signal.

Again, like petulant children. They lost the game, so now they want to rip up the board and hide all the game pieces.

Get help, DUmmies. Seriously.

Well we knew they were going to come unhinged.  Each day, the flavor is slightly different; they're going through stages.  Will tomorrow be just as batshit insane?  Or worse?  Or a different twist?  It's an interesting study. 

Great cartoon, CM.

If the DUchebags can boycott corporations and private companies can they boycott DUchebags?  I know that they need them way more than any corp of co needs the DUmp.

Yes, please boycott everything American....foriegn aid, free food, help after natural disasters, all that good free American stuff you never appreciated anyway.

Between that and any goods that you actual ever paid for, it would probably all come out in the wash.

But, under the name of ‘liberalism’, they will adopt every fragment of the socialist program, until one day America will be a socialist nation, without knowing how it happened.” - Norman Thomas, U.S. Socialist Party presidential candidate 1940, 1944 and 1948

help after natural disasters

To wit....



U.S. Military Prepares to Aid Haiti as Tomas Approaches

WASHINGTON, Nov. 4, 2010 – As Tropical Storm Tomas bears down on Haiti and other islands in the Caribbean, U.S. forces are leaning forward to help, Pentagon Press Secretary Geoff Morrell said today.
 
~snip~

The USS Iwo Jima is steaming toward the island nation with a crew of 1,600 aboard. U.S. Southern Command is directing any aid that may be required. The crew can provide medical, engineering, aviation, logistical and other help as needed.
