Obamunism


I truly wish I could take credit for this brilliant poster for hope and change. Alas, Soviet Russia (where posters make you!) beat me to it.

You can buy this on a T-shirt at THIS PLACE. The caption for the shirt reads :"Communists and Socialists and Marxists of America unite! We finally have a real president who holds our values dear. We support Obama because he wants to nationalize health care, take money from hard-working Americans to give to the poor, and make one class of people. Hooray for communism! Hooray for Obama! Hooray for Obamunism! (That whole democracy thing just wasn't working out anyway.) So, if you are anti-Obama or anti-Democrat (or just totally in love with Obama's Communism, Socialism, or Marxism...freak,) you want this shirt."

I came across this T-shirt after seeing the poster on Facebook. Just amazing. Of course, I clicked over to BBC news, to see Bernanke decide that IF the government doesn't step in, we are doomed until at least 2010. (See here) Interestingly, the following was said: "Speaking of the concern about bankers benefiting from bail-outs, he added that the country "ought not abstain from saving the financial system just because it rewards people who erred"." There's a reason this is on BBC news, and not CNN.

The solution to this economic downturn is not found in government hands. Not that I'm proclaiming to be an economic genius, but this is common sense. I heard something today as I drove around that really made me think. To summarize, Rush Limbaugh was quoting Ayn Rand as saying something to the affect that the plan of socialists and the ilk are to so bind an industry, hand and foot, so to make survival of it impossible without government intervention. Once this is accomplished, step in and proclaim that the free market and capitalism doesn't work, and that the government needs to be in charge. Does this sound familiar at all? Rush, I don't always agree with you, but ... you can't be far wrong on this one.

  3. I've attempted to do that, and either I am being an idiot and can't figure it out, or blogger doesn't allow it. The problem, as I see it, is that it's looking for an imagine, not an entire website. There is no place that I can find to make the image, when clicked, to direct someone to your website. I fully recognize that it could just be my inexperience, so if you do know how, please share. I would love to help you promote your product. I think it's brilliant, and more like it should be made.

  4. If you edit the post, you should be able to select the image. Then, you can click the hyperlink button (it looks like a chain on a globe.) A box will pop up asking for the link. Enter http://conchtees.com/shirt/men/obamunism.php and press OK. Save the post, and it should work at that point. Alternatively, you can click the "Edit HTML" in the editor, and manually set the href of the "a" tag surrounding the appropriate "img" tag to the correct url. =)

    Thanks for taking the time. I really appreciate it.
