I see you plead for donations to keep your website "new and fresh," and also to buy more original posters to remix. I guess that's why you dislike America. Your sad "artwork' won't sell, and you want to be supported by donations to continue. How un-cool. Un-American. Un-awesome... because we can say anything in America, but it's only in America a loser like you wants people to donate - not buy- so he can keep up his business. Little secret here... if you were creating things people bought -even liberal scum- you wouldn't need to beg like an aging, two dollar whore for crumbs.

My favorite email of all... because it's so dead wrong. I SELL ALL KINDS OF STUFF! Posters, stickers, t-shirts, coffee mugs, hoodies, ringer tees, postcards, mousepads, totebags, sweatshirts, baby doll tees, coasters and MUCH MUCH MORE. That said, I also offer an option for people to donate via Paypal (they take Visa and Mastercard) because some people don't want to accumulate more possessions, but DO want to contribute. So there, Aaron, you're just wrong. Go figure.

Sorry that you delude yourself that those of us who support the military decision, do so smugly, only because we aren't in the fray; rather insulting, don't you think? Could it be that you are only projecting your feelings of inadequacy? I suspect that you wouldn't have the courage to share your views with the returning troops whom I frequently meet at the airport. Did you forget that our military is comprised of volunteers? Couldn't you do something worthwhile? Perhaps use your art and wit to entertain and support the troops. Best Wishes - Kelly

Could you be any more naïve? Our President has liberated two nations, while keeping the casualties lower than nearly every war that our country has fought. I suppose you wouldn’t have supported the European front of the Second World War. Of course, Hitler never attacked us, so was it really our place to step in the middle of the helpless Jews and the Nazi regime? Hmm. Our nation sits atop the world economically, and as a raging Democrat, you of all people should understand the idea of helping out countries less fortunate than our own. You might say that the American people (many of whom are as naive and greed driven as you appear to be) wish for their money to stay in this country and be set aside for domestic issues so that the average American can have two iPods instead of one. But I think as a human you can see the need to help out a country whose people were oppressed by a dictator who had murdered 300,000 of his own citizens.
I’m sorry that you feel offended by our government’s efforts to stop terrorism. But if there had been a white, Asian, Hispanic, black, Native American, female, retarded, or seven year old child involved in the terrorist activities in and around September 11th, 2005, I just might see your point. (sense the biting sarcasm in the next few sentences…) Middle Eastern-Americans really have to sacrifice A LOT for their country to help combat the recent wave of terrorism. I mean, seriously, I know if there was a terrorist out there who looked strikingly similar to me I wouldn’t let people consider me as a suspect.
Regardless, you are a narrow-minded ass who feels the need to slam his government in every way, shape, and form. I think it would be nice if you decided to support the fight on terrorism and stopped worrying about every comma in the Bill of Rights. Get your head out of your left-winged ass and realize that as a super power with more balls than the UN, our country has to stand for freedom. The previous statement can be applied to ALL parts of the world, not just our own. I look forward to your response.

Uhm, could YOU be a little more naïve? Your President has enabled Iran to hand-pick the new government of Iraq... or maybe you didn't notice that a Shiite Religious Fundamentalist government allied with our biggest enemy in the region was elected to run Iraq? Or maybe you think they'll be soooo grateful for their "freedom" that they won't team up with Iran to build nukes and sponsor terrorism the very second we leave that country in, oh, October or so (right before the election, naturally... the Republicans don't care about anything so much as losing the next election over an unpopular bullshit war based on lies).
As for your WWII comparison, it's a mistake to ever bring up the Jews vs. Nazis situation and then say that our government did anything to help... the US steadfastly refused, for instance, to bomb the train tracks running to Dauchau Concentration Camp, going so far as to drop bombs left over from nearby bombing raids into empty wooded areas, but not on the death trains... because they wanted to use the trains themselves to have quick access to the area. That's just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to the USA & the Jews... we deliberately refused to raise the immigration quotas on Jews, condemning millions to die in Europe, we turned away Jews who snuck out of Germany, sending them back to their deaths... the list goes on and on. Saying that we got into WWII to fight for the "helpless Jews" is like saying we started the Civil War to end slavery. It's a nice nursery tale for children, but it's not true.
Neither did we invade Iraq to free the "Iraqi" people... that was just the 5th or 6th justification after the others (nuclear bombs, weapons of mass destruction, imminent attack, Al Qaeda connections) turned out to be lies. If George Bush loves freeing people so much, why doesn't he invade any of the 70 other dictatorships in the world? Oh, right, because none of them are sitting on top of the world's 4th largest oil supply! Freeing countries, give me a break.
And don't go complaining about Saddam's death count until you take a good, hard look at ours. It's hovering between 40,000 and 100,000 innocent civilian deaths right now. Up to 100,000 fucking innocent civilians. Because of Bush's feverish pipe-dreams about new-cue-lure bombs and his fantasies of a Democratic Middle East. Instead we get an ELECTED Iran-allied Theocracy. Swell! And it only cost us $700 Billion dollars and counting!
I've got no problems fighting Terrorism... but I don't think that Terrorism is a bigger threat than The Soviet Union was. I don't think it needs more money to be spent on it than the Cold War. I don't think I need more of my freedoms taken away to defeat it. Your problem is that you and all your right-wing scaredy-cat allies believe in the power of Osama Bin Laden more than you believe in Freedom. Patrick Henry said "Give me Liberty or give me Death." Today's Republicans say "Here's my Liberty, Please don't let me die!"
I love how you sneer that I need to "stop worrying about every comma in the Bill of Rights," and then brag about America's big balls for ignoring the United Nations and going to war over a pack of lies. Let me get this right: your Republican point of view is that we should ignore everything that makes us better than other countries and substitute death and war and mayhem for Freedom?! I love modern Republicans... they're so... czarist in their thinking. Surrender to The State! Big Brother will keep you safe, you poor scared Republicans! Disgusting. Where's the spine? Guess what, I'm proud enough to say that my country stands for freedom and for civil liberties and civil rights, EVEN DURING a war. I don't put those Principles away in a closet while we're busy killing, and then bring them back out after the war is over and pretend that they mean something then. You're such a bunch of cowards, you're willing to
surrender everything that Washington, Jefferson and Adams fought for, all so that Big Brother Bush can keep you safe from Osamaboogeyman.
If you want an Imperial Leader that no one can question so bad, maybe you should MOVE BACK TO 1700's ENGLAND! Or maybe to of the other 70 countries in the modern world which have non-elected dictatorships. I'm sure that the Dictator of Uzbekistan, our ally in the War On Terror, can keep you safe. Then again, if he decides he doesn't like you, he BOILS HIS ENEMIES ALIVE. Yeah, our "ally" in this "glorious" War On Terror kills his political enemies with baseball bats to the head and boils them alive. What a great bunch of guys your Imperial President has allied America with. Maybe Bush will someday want that power, too... it'll put a stop to all that "worrying about every comma in the Bill of RIghts."
As for Middle Eastern countries needing to stop Terrorism, well, Your President's biggest friend, the Saudi Royal Family are STILL spreading the teachings of Wahabbiism throughout the region (the evil strain of Islam, which preaches death to America), and they are STILL allowing wealthy Saudis to send money to terrorists, and they are STILL the country where 16 out of 18 of the 9/11 hijackers came from... but we'll NEVER do anything about them, because they own George Bush. Read the book "House of Bush, House of Saud," for a primer in that subject... they've bailed him out of every single one of his financial failures, they've made his father richer than Midas, and they're evil fucking scumbags who oppress their women and spread hatred of America every time you fill up the tank of your SUV. So maybe instead of blaming "Middle Eastern Countries," you might want to focus on the biggest problem: our "ally" Saudi Arabia.
The War On Terror is bullshit. Terrorism will NEVER END, especially not how Bush has defined Terrorism (anyone who opposes America). There are two groups attacking us in Iraq: Iraqis who want us to get the fuck out, and foreign Al Quaeda types who want us to die. Bush is a moron, because he lumps them both together and calls them Terrorists... when one of them is clearly a rebellion. That's like calling the North Vietnamese "terrorists" because they wanted America out of Vietnam. Or like calling George Washington a "terrorist" because he wanted England out of America. People with no army and airforce will ALWAYS have to use the tactic of terrorism to get what they want... it's just the way the world works. To declare a "War On Terror" is ridiculous because Terrorism will be with us forever... you might as well declare a "War on Envy " or a "War on Gluttony."
Then again, maybe that's exactly what Your President wants: an endless war that he can use to leverage illegal wiretapping powers and detention powers for himself. Because, after all, we're at WAR, you can't question the President during a time of WAR! And he'll do whatever it takes to keep that war going. FOREVER. Because then he's not a President, he's an Emperor! yours, Micah
As an outspoken libertarian, I spend most of my time convincing other like-minded individuals to cut their affiliations with the type of quasi-fascist automatonic individuals in the "Republican" party who tend to harbor the tyrannical views expressed so brilliantly in your posters. The satirical, absurdist impact of such dictatorial rhetoric coupled with American Symbolism is sometimes too true to be amusing. You're doing a great job--isn't it interesting that all of your hate mail seems like it comes out of factory somewhere? It's all the same stupid, uneducated, disinformed, ignorant, violent, concieted blatherings of small-minded sheep who live vicariously through the land mass they happened to be born on. keep it up.
June 15, 2006 - Jordan Stone
The only thing I dislike about Libertarians is that they'd rather let people starve than pay government money to feed them. I can't roll with that mindset.
Good morning, and thank you for your bleeding heart..... Sorry......I meant time. Are you the founder of the sniveling clueless weasels foundation, or just a "member" in good standing? It's generally closed-minded hammerheads such as
yourself that would be howling for somebodys head on a platter if, for instance, the offensive wasn't taken to kick terrorists in the balls where they live, and we were seeing American civilians body parts in the streets. You'd be assembled at some campus, trying to figure out who you could blame. It's all about the blame. You whine about conservative media bias". Get with the friggin program! Fox News is the only semi-mainstream network news outfit that isn't ponied up to liberal fuckwits. At least they aren't afraid to show liberal weenies assembled in their "I pissed away countless thousands of my parents dollars on tuition, and all I got was this childish liberal attitude" t-shirts.
Wake up & smell the inevitable. America is tired of your godless ranting and raving. You're outnumbered, outwitted, and most of all, outclassed. The constitution is not your damn "living document" to be rewritten by your liberal lawyer hacks to meet thier agenda. It is what it is, so deal with it. Until your silly ass-hatted party figures out that it's not all about them, they'll continue to get zero respect from Americans that actually vote for something other than "peace at all costs", or "MTV & my professor told me to". We really do understand that if we don't see it your way, you'll gather en masse and hold your collective breaths until you turn blue & pass out. We also don't give a rats ass. Remember what your mommy used to tell you when you were 16 or 17? She was right, act your age (for a change). Sincerely, and with kind regards,.

Hey, I got no idea if it's THAT Ann Coulter or not... but it's equally well worded and reasoned as the famous Ann Coulter's last book.
A Succinct Summary of the 2004 Presidential Election: The Democrats' mistake was in thinking that a disastrous war, national bankruptcy, erosion of liberties, corporate takeover of government, environmental destruction, squandering our economic and moral leadership and systematic Administration lying would be of serious concern to the American
electorate. The Republicans correctly saw that the chief concern of the voters was to keep gay couples from having an abortion.

Married Gay Atheist Terrorists, please... if you're going to slur people, then get the terminology correct!
Why so hard on the Republicans? Is Bush really that much worse than Clinton. Carter was fighting proxy wars in Afghanistan and central America in the 70s. Official bombing of south vietnam started in the 60s under the liberal hero Kennedy. Remember the US is a one party state with two right wings. While you're at it our very own pious poodle Tony Blair would make a good target for remixing.
May 28, 2006 - Jeremy Wepener
Kicking the Democrats for Bush's actions while they run 0/3 branches of government is a little like shooting fish in the barrell, isn't it? When they take back the House & Senate, I'll be harder on them. They've got a lot to answer for, such as giving Bush the Authority To Use Military Force in Iraq without actually reading the intelligence reports. Meanwhile, I'm going to stick it to the primary culprits.
Hello, You take great patriotic art from America's Greatest Generation, and soil it with your own diluted version of being a TRUE patriot by slagging off on the country that grants you that freedom??? Just do me one favor...the next time you sit down to destroy some great artwork with anti-American swill, thank an American vet who gave all so you would have the freedom to ridicule the country he sacrificed so much for. A real man would at least have the honesty and integrity to thank the ones who insure his right to remain a liberal tool and oblivious malcontent!!!!.

Hi, read some of your hate mail from your site. Lots of funny stuff. I was just wondering if you would have
the courage to post something that wouldn't come off as shrill, obnoxious and/or ridiculous. I served in the Army in the 80's and I spent time at Ft Benning. The question I have for you is this: If you hold them in such high esteem, how can you justify the drivel you put out all the time, which wounds the soul of every vet out there? Yes, there are vets who may not like Bush, and yes there are some who may not believe in the war. But how do you have the gall to do what you do? I do not claim that you don't have that right, that's why I and many others wore the uniform. But I would you would do whatever you could to support these guys instead of tearing them down. The sad irony is this: IF you had whatever it takes physically, mentally and psychologically to be a Ranger, there is absolutely no way you would say what you say and do what you do.
May 26, 2006 - Richard Rezac
Firstly, I think you're speaking for yourself and applying your feelings to ALL vets. I've gotten a LOT of mail from guys currently in Iraq who think the posters are hilarious and express exactly how they feel about this bullshit war. Secondly, I think you're misconstruing my posters as an attack on Vets or on serving personnel. In fact, not a single one of my posters is insulting to either. I have nothing but respect for the job that soldiers do. None of my posters calls them baby killers or anything stupid like that. My posters attack the civilians commanding the military right now, nothing more and nothing less. 75% of my posters have NOTHING to do with the Iraq war. In most of them, I'm mocking George Bush and his kleptocratic friends in the Republican Party and their governmental policies. When I do posters about the war, I'm usually mocking Bush's inept Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld or the policies he's put in place. You seem to construe this as mocking vets and soldiers. It's NOT. I even shelved several posters I made after the scandal at Abu Ghraib broke because I was worried that people would think I was talking about all soldiers, NOT just the ones who committed those atrocities (and their bosses, all the way up to GWB). Hell, most of my posters are actively DEFENSIVE of the poor guys in the trenches in Iraq who are there just to make money for Halliburton & Exxon. I really resent the implication that I'm insulting soldiers.
I see you have an interesting array of publications in your library. People also have an intersting view point on ideas, statements, and classifications. Also how do you know this is the greatist country to live in, have you lived in any other? or is it because you can get away with more here than anywhere else and be thrown in jail instead of shot by a firing squad or an eliminator. You people here in america are real funny, Fat, and stupid........ You follow anything that lights your bulb. everything ( just about ) brings up the color of red, ha,to bad that isnt the only color you see, instead of Black, Yellow, White, Brown. Sure there is deseption in quite a few cateqories and there will always be, Do you want to know why??? BECAUSE YOU!!!!! have made it that way. Now that I have upset a various part of the writers, BING IT ON YOU ASS HOLES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! How true it is, only the rich, devious, and decetful people get the kick back. we, USA are like Mercenaries. Remember what Kennedy even said, ask not what your country can do for you, but what you can give to your country, ( oil, diamonds, etc,etc,etc. Sure the pres., says that americans won’t do the jobs. HAHA, pay the americans an adequate wage and then see if we wont accept the jobs!!!!! whats fair is fair.

Good Day, I hope my email meets you well. I am in need of your assistance. My name is Sgt Williams Baker, Jr. I am in the Engineering military unit here in Ba'qubah in Iraq,we have about $20 Million US dollars that we want to move out of the country. My partners and I need a good partner someone we can trust. It is oil money and legal. We have made arrangements with a Diplomatic courier service that will move the funds to their head quarters in Amasterdam, Holland.The most important thing is that can we trust you? Once the funds get to you, you take your 40% out and keep our own 60%. Your own part of this deal is to find a safe place where the funds can be sent to. Our own part is sending it to you.If you are interested I will furnish you with more details. But the whole process is simple and we must keep a low profile at all times. I look forward to your reply and co-operation, and I thank you in advance as I anticipate your co-operation.You can reach me on via email.
March 6, 2006 - "Sgt. Williams Baker" -
I know this is fake for a few reasons: 1) NOT sent with a centcom.mil address. (2) Good soldiers don't steal, and (3) After Halliburton steals its share, there's no money left over for soldiers to steal, even if they wanted to.
Dear Fascist Pig, since when did expressing your 1st Amendment right (that's freedom of speach you moron!) make you a TRAITOR? Isn't it funny that if you speak out against the destruction of this country, you become a TRAITOR. Or should I say evil-doer or possibly evil-nay-sayer? I thought that what this country was all about. You're obviously making our glorius leader (Der Furher Bush) and the Ministry of Homeland Security very happy. If you weren't so busy ejaculating over the provisions of the Patriot Act (nice little title heh), sucking up to the likes of Hannity, O'Rielly, that Cunt Anne Coulter, or the neocon homophobe facists of the right you'd relize that it is the people who speak out that are the true defenders of Liberty in this country. If you had any clue about history, you'd be able to see the writing on the wall plain and clear. You just don't get though do you. I know, if you don't like it leave it. I've heard all of the spew that you and those like you throw out. I'm (we're) not leaving though. We will continue to fight your facist ideals that are destroying the country so many have fought to defend. Why don't you do something useful and go over to our wonderful little nightmare in Iraq and get yourself blown to bits. You'll save us the bullets in the end. Fuck off and die!

January 29, 2006 - Jerry Davis
As a Iraqi Freedom Vet, I am offended by your defiling of what was a great episode in U.S. History, specifically the homeland war effort of WWII. First, how dare you think you can speak for us, the troops? I am not looking for a "it's a free country" answer either, where do you get the nerve to position yourself as some sort of authority on troop welfare? The U.S. military is by nature with a few exceptions a conservative culture, Troops are true public servents who sacrafice their well-being and lives for the future of our constituion, nation, and its interests. Unlike other government workers who unionize and bleed dry the public coffers, our military men and women by and large enlist because of true civic duty.
What I expect you cannot realize because of such a demented and distorted world view is that your "creative" criticism of the Bush administrations policies actually places you invested in our military's failure. All this criticism without a practical alternative to foreign policy results in blatant debilitating of our country and its future. When we are victorious in Iraq and in the war on terrorism, when your children are exposing themselves in "Spring Break Baghdad" on MTV, who will not be able to take credit for it. And I, as a veteran will be sure to rebuke you and your ilk when they try to.
I don't believe you will post this e-mail, nor do I expect you to respond in any way, shape, or form. I think you are creative but intellectually bankrupt. Please enlighten me on viable practical foreign policy. The Democrats are a disgracee to the two-party system because of extremists like you. It is because sick people like you, why the Democrats have yet to develop a visionary alternative and will not win another election until they can. America will continue to embrace conservatism and all its faults and recoil from your shortsighted garbage for a long time to come. So you got my blood boiling, keep it up.

Ooops, looks like your letter made it online, chum!
Looking over your website I see that you are utterly shameless about being the worst and most pathetic sort of liar. Sad. But, perhaps heartwarming all the same, at least insofar as it restores my faith in the Ranger Regiment that it did not spin of a mentally vapid, talentless oxygen thief life yourself.

Sorry, Juan, the humans who wrote the Bible say that Jesus loves slavery. "Even if you have a chance of freedom, you should prefer to make full use of your condition as a slave." - First Corinthians 7:24-26
Let's see, some others... how about "All those who are under the yoke of slavery must have unqualified respect for their masters, so that the name of God and our teaching is not brought into disrepute." - 1 Timothy 6:1
"Slaves must be obedient to their masters in everything, and do what is wanted without argument. And there must be no pilfering. They must show complete honesty at all times so that they are a credit in every way to the teaching of God our Saviour." 1 Timothy 6:9-10
"Slaves, you should obey your masters respectfully, not only those who are kind and reasonable but also those who are difficult to please." - 1 Peter 2:18
um, i dont hate you. in fact, i think you're really really boring. as are all the other sad individuals who are on here, complaining and debating over a bunch of posters that arent even serious and will never be taken seriously. Honestly, you lot need to get a life - find a hobby! (OK, the posters thing doesnt count). anyway, im going now as i dont want to spend any more time on such a dull bunch. and for the record, i was browsing between work errands and decided not to bother it was so boring, so dont try getting one pver me by retorting - 'if we're so boring so are you for reading it' because a) that sucks and b) its unoriginal.

Congratulations, another Bush-lover sees the light. I think. He still ends it by calling me a fag. Yawn.
Yeah ...Bush is almost as bad a violator of civil liberties as other liberal-leftist warhawks like FDR, Wilson and Lincoln. I'm sure you're well-read enough to realise that the historical record proves that I'm right. Bush's unique contribution to leftist idiocy is to maintain open borders even while engaging in a just conflict with Islamic radicalism and an idiotic war in Iraq. My last vote for President was Pat Buchanan in 2000. PJB returned to the GOP but opposed the Iraq War and has called for Bush's impeachment on the open borders issue. Bush is no conservative (the Meirs appointment provided the final iron-clad proof for many);he is simply a reformed drunk from a famous and important family who is too dull not to be a prisoner of the zeitgeist when it comes to political and social issues.

Uhm... I'm not sure if that was hate mail or "dislike" mail...
The mere fact that you're alive and well, living in America tells me that 90% of the paranoia and hatred that you espouse is all in your head. You've neither been ostracized nor imprisoned, nor should you. You can't be serious about your suggestions, otherwise you'd have emigrated by now. You do have the right to leave any time you like. You know "love it or leave it"? Oh, you love it. I know it. Some people love to screw the things they love in the re-hole. I take it you're one of those people . . . not that there's anything wrong with that. Hey, it's a free country, you know. Don't say you havent the means to leave America(s) behind, if what you suggest is true, you (and me) should be getting out ASAP by by any means possible. Nevertheless, your work is thought provoking. It works. For example, I think you're an asshole. The great thing about America is that you have the freedom to be an asshole (and to profit from it) so I say keep it up, you're doing a great job.

Sir, why is the bayonet in the anti-religion poster not sticking through a Koran? Currently the latest crop of people ready to die for God are reading that book. Are you just anti-Christian or do you realize you are much more likely to provoke a violent response attacking Muslims and therefore try to offend the group lees likely to put out a fatwa on you? Or are you merely a multi-culturalist yahoo who thinks anything but western civilization is just fine and dandy?
September 26, 2005 - Captain Michael "Grizzly" Singleton - sent with a centcom.iraq.mil account
Firstly, it's through a bible and not a Koran as a warning to Americans not to adopt warlike religious beliefs akin to those of our enemies. Secondly, I'm against all organized Religion (not faith or belief, mind you, but the men who stand between the devine and humanity and profess to speak for God). Religion is a stupid thing to die for, as I'm sure you're realizing in Iraq.
I am saddened that the U.S. is filled with people such as yourself. My father fought for this country, my husband served during Vietnam and I too, was in the Army. We all enlisted with the hope that we could keep our country free; unfortunately one of those freedoms is giving people like you the chance to spread your redderick. I fear the terrorists aren't just those across the ocean but also those of you who live amongst us. You sir, scare me more than the Nazis' and the Iraqis' ever could. .

By the way, it is obvious you love our country. What you are saying through your posters is "wake up, America". This admiration for Bush must be something in the water. I voted for him twice, now I'm sorry I didn't see him as he is: a traitor to all America has stood for. (And I thought Clinton was bad! What's next, Martial Law or something or someone much worse!)
August 3, 2005 - Jake Montgomery
Oh. My. God. It's possible for someone who voted for Bush TWICE to wake up and smell the coffee? I've got hope for Murrka after all!
Dear no-talent ass-clown, The posters you deface were designed by patriotic americans during a war when people's fathers, brothers, sons and friends were dying to protect liberty and stand up for what they believed in. They were to promote patriotism and boost morale. You've disrespectfully defaced them and pissed on the grave stones of all the men who died so that you could have the right to do exactly what you are doing. Plenty of teenagers right out of high school went to the other side of the world and died so you could mock them. You might as well put YOUR face on your little "HSS" posters, you spineless, comunist turd. Why don't you just move to France, or shut the fuck up you yellow frenchie bastard!.
July 16, 2005 - Andy Kittila
Hmmm... no, the poster I'm defacing were designed by the best that Madison Avenue had to offer. They were paid for their efforts as they sat in comfort and safety in New York City.
Incidentally, you fall into the trap of thinking that I'm mocking soldiers. I'm not. I'm mocking their shitty civilian leadership and the top brass who were too cowardly to tell Rumsfeld and Bush that we needed a lot more troops to win this war. Eric Shinseki did, and got fired for his trouble... the rest of them are cowards. But the troops? They're just soldiers doing their jobs and I feel bad for them that their orders are so deeply FUBAR.
Finally, why do you hate the French so much? Because they didn't support our illegal and illegitimate war? How dare they respect the rule of law! After all, your president doesn't, so why should France's?
Why don't you Pinko Commies go back to where you came from? Vietnam ended over 30 years ago! I'd think that you be tired of harrasing the hell out of Washington by now. But you aren't! You discust me you stupid hippie! If America isn't good enough for you, why don't you change your name to Kim Jong Jo and move to North Korea?.

Turn on your TV. Osama Bin Laden has been captured. While CNN has no pictures at this point of time, the military channel (PPV) released some pictures. I managed to capture a couple of these pictures off my TV. Ive attached a slideshow containing all the pictures I managed to capture. I apologize for the low quality, its the best I could do at this point of time. Hopefully CNN will have pictures and a video soon. God bless the USA!

Yes, God Bless the Patriotic Media Companies that told you the lie that Osama Bin Laden had been captured.
You america hating faggot loving coward. Shut the fuck up and get the fuck out of the country since you hate it so much. You have desecrated and demoralized our fighting soldiers and lied and belittled our great president in a time of war. You have freedom of speech, thanks to the fighting men and women who gave you that freedom.... paid for in their blood, but YOU have to disgrace our soldiers and our great president with your bullshit posters and that's all they are... BULLSHIT. SHUT DOWN THAT SITE, TRASH THOSE REDICULOUS POSTERS and STOP BASHING OUR GREAT COUNTRY AND OUR GREAT PRESIDENT!! YOU HAVE NO RIGHT TO PUT DOWN THIS COUNTRY AND OUR PRESIDENT AND YOU HAVE NO RIGHT TO MAKE THOSE POSTERS!! THEY HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH FREEDOM OF SPEECH. YOU HATE AMERICA! FUCK YOU! GET THE FUCK OUT OF THE COUNTRY AND JOIN YOUR BELOVED TERRORISTS!

You're right! I -do- hate America! So does everyone who didn't vote for the AWESOME George W. Bush!
I hate America so much that I go around making political art to decry what I see being done to it by a would-be dictator! THAT is how much I hate America! I even vote my evil terrorist votes to show how much I hate America! Because voting and art are the number one tools of Al Qaeda! Just look at what they did on 9/11! All caused by voting and art! Because everyone who doesn't like GW is a terrorist who HATES AMERICA! Just like ME!
Maybe someday I can be a REAL AMERICAN like YOU and learn to just follow orders! But until then, I will probably keep bashing our great President! I think I will learn to love Bush one day, though, look, I have learned to use too many exclamation marks from you! I can't believe that America is so stupid as to allow people like me free speech! Bush should totally take it away from me! I have NO RIGHT to make these posters, NONE, but I keep doing it because Iof how much I hate America!
I'm not sure how I've demoralized our fighting soldiers, but I would totally do it again. Those soldiers are busy fighting a pointless war in a country we don't give a care about... they need fakey homefront support now more than ever! But I deny it to them by making posters and bashing our President! All because I hate America so very much! And variable punctuation!
Always interesting to see a cowardly draft dodger using the military to make a few bucks. Why doesn't that surprise me? Reality Check: The American people chose bush... the Liberals who can't live with that fact should consider moving to Iran, where they will find more sympathetic ears.

You have no clue as to the work we do here in Baghdad. I’m in the city everyday talking to Iraqis. I know from their statements that they are glad we’re here. You wouldn’t know this because you’re a coward who uses the war for profit. I find it funny that you ridicule others for doing the same thing you do. What a jerk off. The majority of Hajjis that we dust aren’t even Iraqi. They come from Saudi Arabia, Syria and Iran. They target US troops, our coalition brothers and Iraqis. I will be signing up for a third tour after this one. I believe in a better world and our leaders. I want to reemphasize that I personally think you are a shit bag, a coward and a hypocrite. Enjoy your freedom of speech, me and my guys will be here making sure you keep it. Sgt Justin Causey
May 06, 2005 - "Justin Causey" sent from centcom.mil address
First off, I'd like to point out to those not in the know that "Hajjis" is the de rigeur anti-Muslim slang of choice for our forces in Iraq, like "Jap" and "nip" were in WWII, "gook" in Korea and Vietnam, and "gook," "slope," and "zip" were for Vietnam. Lesson One when killing people is to dehumanize them through an offensive nickname. "Hajji" or "Hadji" is no different from "Nigger" as far as I can see.
Secondly, the "Profit" I make off this page doesn't really compare much to the estimated $30,000,0000 that Dick Cheney's Halliburton stock has gone up since he started this war, so go fuck yourself.
Third, sorry, but no soldier in Iraq is protecting me from Al Qaeda. Iraq and 9/11 are completely unrelated. In fact, by being there, the money that could be spent on making our ports and borders safer is instead being wasted in a foreign country.
As for my Freedom of Speech, it's not guaranteed by soldiers, either. If it were, troops would be kicking down the door of the White House and hauling out the traitors inside who have tried to destroy our Freedom of Speech. I defy anyone to prove how Bush's Iraq War has done anything to increase my Freedom of Speech.

We hope you do not see that as being disrespectful. We certainly do not mean to be. "Looking For Bigfoot" is a left-leaning novel, a sort of leftist Bigfoot travelogue: Man in Midwest, disgusted with America's lies, takes bus to Oregon in search of The Truth, Bigfoot, America, himself, his high-school baseball coach, other stuff.

1) Your far-left agenda is simply ignorant. If people were to realize that extremism doesn't work, then this country would go back to having what is called progress…
2) Abortion and The "Right to Die": Since when was there such thing as a right to kill? Abortion stops a beating heart, so it's not different than killing the first person you come to on the street. Besides, who is the parent to make decision for the child… You have to
question the authority of someone that WANTS to kill someone… much less kill a defenseless baby… As for the Right to die. I've neer heard of a more grotesque procedure. There are two major methods… self suffocation, or self starvation…
3) Homosexuality: True, the bible does say that homosexuality is wrong. What other facts bout the bible are true that people are forgetting about? Isn't it true that a major part of being a Christian is being a physical embodiment of Jesus? Would Jesus condemn the
homosexuals or help them fix their lifestyle?
4) "Frivolous" Spending: The government, when associated with a left point of view, stockpiles money. Saving it for a rainy day? There is no point in a government withholding money from its own citizens. It's kind of like dangling a string in front of a cat and pulling the string up before the cat can get to it… eventually, the cat get
annoyed/bored/perturbed and gives up… The end result is discontent among the masses.
5) "Faux" news: I'm damned glad that there is at least some right-bias media out there… I was getting sick of seeing only left-minded news programs.
6) Guns: If abortion is "alright", then this should be a non-issue with liberals… They honestly shouldn't have a problem supporting these killing machines.

However, if their spelling is any indication of their intellegence, there is no way these simpletons have any clue what is going on.

Your liberal vomit needs to go back to Kansas and stay there. And, why the tirade against Bobby Flay. According to you, Bobby couldn't say his own name without doing something wrong. I happen to like his shows and you don't become an American Iron Chef without being well thought of. He might not fit in Kansas, but he doesn't live in Kansas. Are you too in therapy after Kerry's loss, if not, you should be. I hope they have a McDonald's in Kansas, that's where you belong instead of cluttering up the Internet. Your writings remind me of an anger child. I agree that self righteous, pompous and my own word arrogant with low self-esteem pretty much describes Liberals like you. And, a country, Iceland (you were maybe expecting Fiji), is the people that make up that country.Why are Liberals always angry about something, positive gets so much more results. CHILL OUT!

hey, i doubt you even read these mails for some reason. anyways, i dont appreciate your anti-religion posters. if you have the right to be non-religious, then i sure have the right to be religious. there are wars over religion. some people just dont get it. really, no one gets it. This God stuff is outrageously baffling. the corperate american is partly to blame for so many people hating christianity. the fact is is that it just doesnt matter. if
you or someone else wont believe what i believe, then there is nothing i can do about it. but some people try to force their oppinion or beliefs on others. this isnt right. unfortunately, you are doing just that with some of these posters. im a republican, mostly, i think..but no party is perfect.

January 1, 2005 - Parker Shannon
Happy New Year, Parker! I've got a good resolution for you: learn what words mean before you use them:
sedition
Syllables: se-di-tion
Part of Speech: noun
Pronunciation: sih dI shEn
Definition: actions or speech intended or serving to create rebellion against a government.
Related Words: treason, treachery
treason
Syllables: trea-son
Part of Speech: noun
Pronunciation: tri zEn
Definition: the betrayal of one's country, esp. by waging war against it or aiding its enemies with strategic information.
And just in case you're confusing my complaints about George W. Bush's corrupt and rotten regime of criminals and torturers with me waging war against my country, there's THIS little problem for you:
First Amendment to the Constitution of the United States of America
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.
I know exactly what sedition means. I notice you had to copy your reply from a dictionary. I stand by my original email you arrogant puke.

And I stand by my original perception that you're a sterling example of a Bush voter.

So you think overthrowing the Taliban and Saddam had nothing to do with fighting tyranny? Such sloppy thinking is why the loopy left has no power.
December 11, 2004 - Gene
If George Bush was so opposed to the tyranny of the Taliban, why did he want Unocal to do business with them? Why did he send them $40 Million in the year before 9/11? If he hates tyranny so much, why doesn't he do something about the 70 other dictatorships around the world which don't have oil or strategic natural gas pipeline routes our multinational corporations can exploit. Why are we allied with dictatorships Pakistan and China, traditional enemies of India, the world's largest Democracy? Why do we get oil from the Ivory Coast, despite their dictator being a murderous butcher? Why did Bush meet with said murderous butcher? Tyranny? This country doesn't give two shits about tyranny, so long as it works in our benefit.
I am not stupid so please do not treat me as such. Our soldiers have chosen to serve their country and no one forced them to join the armed forces. They chose to put their lives on the line to defend freedom around the world for you and me. You are as bad as the French or, probably are some French idiot. P.S.

Your site is definitely something! As a member of the "establishment" I laughed at your ability to KNOW WHATS REALLY GOING ON...and as a member of the military I was awed at your desire to mock everything that maintains your security. As an American, it sucks that I must be accepting of your viewpoint...but hopefully WE can change that soon by relieving you of your civil rights, which you are just too compelled to abuse. Thanks for the bright ideas man, and keep up the illegal profiteering from other's copyrighted artwork...we might be able to get your nancy-ass into a prison rape scene soon enough!

It must be a thrill to be such a jackbooted Nazi. The thrill of "OBEY" is so alluring, I suppose. Enjoy the next four years as you are sent off to pointless war after pointless war, none of which make the United States one iota safer. Perhaps you'll get killed "maintaining my security" in Fallujah or some other third-world shithole filled with people who hate America more than they used to before we arrived and bombed their civilians, blew up their churches, shot surrendering teenagers inside their mosques and sexually humiliated their prisoners. Or maybe you believe the fiction that invading Iraq has made us "safer," despite the fact that the President of Pakistan recently said on CNN that the invasion of Iraq was a horrible mistake which has made everyone less safe? The same with our other military dictator pal, the President of Egypt. You know, when puppet military dictators who maintain power by brutally repressing their people with guns that the United States sells them for half price (and we wonder why Arabs hate America) are on TV saying that our completely unnecessary War On Iraq was a mistake, it should make you think twice. Either way, we're stuck there now for the next ten to twenty years. I sure hope you enjoy your tour(s), as you no doubt voted for GW Bush twice, convinced that Al Qaeda was hiding in Iraq, that Saddam was ten days from getting a nuclear bomb and that the Boogeyman was hiding under Iraq's bed. Enjoy the endless stop-loss loop you're sure to get stuck in! BTW, none of my posters mock the men in the military: only their Commander-in-Chief and their top echelon commanders. It's threats like yours to relieve Americans of their civil rights and to torture and rape your fellow Americans which make some people distrust the military. Such comments are disgusting and completely unworthy of a member of America's military. Maybe you should move to South America... I understand that many of those countries encourage such behavior by their armed forces. You'd doubtless be happier murdering people in a Guatemalan Death Squad. Maybe you should look into it. p.s. All the work I use is Public Domain, and NOT "other's copyrighted artwork." Do some research before you accuse people of crimes, friend.
For the record, I am a Democrat who supported the war and still does. Saddam was a threat and needed to be eliminated before he could attack us with his nuclear weapons. You are just as worthless as the French. Stop making attacks on our government. Though I don’t like Bush on just about anything I do agree with the war and voted for him because of it. What happened to the days when Democrats actually had backbone and where willing to attack? For example Vietnam, WW2, among others.

Oh, so you're the type of Democrat who threw the election to Bush. I seriously didn't believe you existed until just now.

Uh... I made that poster BEFORE the War On Iraq broke out. If it's coming true, it's because your God Blessed Presidunce is making it come true, day by day, casualty by casualty.
Dear Micah, Your graphical work is fantastic. What is the origin of your propaganda images? Are you using old posters and book covers or are you making your own "homage" versions? They're outstanding. By the way, global warming and nuclear winter are rank propaganda and your support of them therefore ironic. I can send you a speech I gave at Caltech on that topic if you want.
November 23, 2004 - Michael Crichton
Hi, Are you THE Michael Crichton, author of Eaters of the Dead, Westworld and The Great Train Robbery, or are you another, completely different Michael Crichton? The propaganda posters: sometimes I scan an old poster, print it out on canvas, repaint over the text, then rescan and put in the letters with photoshop. The easiest ones are ones where the lettering doesn't obscure important background or facial details -- those I can just scan, photoshop out the old words and slip in new ones using the same fonts. I always use photoshop for the lettering because my hand lettering leaves a lot to be desired. I can't always perfectly match the correct font, but I can usually get pretty close. I try to keep the text short (and often fail), because the propaganda seems to work best when it's short, sharp & punchy. Often I'll spend months with a poster on the desktop of my computer, letting the image sink in, waiting for the right phrase to hit home... Rosie the Riveter was one of those images. I knew I wanted to use it, but I couldn't think of a single thing for her to say until NPR was talking about Bush's war on women's rights one day and it suddenly clicked: she's giving him the "up yours." As for Nuclear Winter and Global Warming, I'm intrigued by your contentions that they're propaganda. It seems that a great preponderance of the the scientific community believes in these two theories, and I'd certainly be interested in the reasons you don't. I'm not a climatologist, but I have enough college science education to know that a theory is just that, a decision to believe in one set of facts and ignore and explain away contrary data. Unfortunately for your side of the argument, when I hear scientists say "oh, pshaw, there's no such thing as Global Warming," they usually tend to have a check stub from General Motors and a membership card for the Heritage Foundation in their wallet. It tends to make things rather difficult to believe when the only people saying it just happen to be working for the biggest polluters in the country or Right-Wing "think" tanks. More to the point, however, I think that the terms "Global Warming" and "Nuclear Winter" are actually good metaphors for the problems they claim to describe. If there is a nuclear war, the dust and dirt blown into the atmosphere may not actually blot out the sun and bring on a new ice age, but the term "nuclear winter" brings to mind a barren, dead landscape devoid of life or human civilization. It's probably the power of the image which is to blame for the term's popularity. Ditto for "Global Warming" -- I know that volcanoes make far more greenhouse gasses each year than cars do, but the phrase brings to mind a mental image of a sweltering heat and choking atmosphere filled with pollution and poison. I get that feeling every time I drive behind a Hummer 2, so it's not hard to understand why "Global Warming" is a verbal touchstone. Additionally, there's not a lot I can do about a volcano, but I can work to change people's opinions about Hummer 2's being "cool." Please send me the text of your speech. I promise to read it with an open mind. yours, a fan of your work (if you happen to be THAT Michael Crichton).
Hi, Micah. Yes, I am he. I take your points. At another time I would have agreed. Now I think that the promulgation of false fears is a major issue of our media period and that there are significant costs to promoting ideas that, like nuclear winter, simply aren't true. (Nobody thinks a nuclear war would provide a health benefit but the idea that it will make a wasteland of the entire hemisphere is a fantasy.) False fears have two important consequences. The first is that it wastes adrenalin and puts people into a state of anxiety that is unnecessary and unbeneficial to individual health. The second reason is that it desensitizes the population to fears in general so that when important issues arise, the public tends to discount them. Crying wolf is never a good idea, and never in my view justified. At my advanced age I have concluded that the ends never justify the means. The means are everything. The definition of a "socially responsible" message changes with the times. In this regard the history of the American eugenics movement is instructive (and truly frightening). Talk about a cautionary tale! Anyhow your work is terrific. Here is the speech.
November 23, 2004 - Michael Crichton
A week after this email exchange, Michael Crichton released his new book "State Of Fear" wherein evil environmentalists attack the world with artificial weather machines in an attempt to scare people into believing in Global Warming. It has received mostly bad reviews, and a few good reviews, but I'm a sucker for techno-thriller beach reading, so I'll probably pick it up in paperback this summer.
Hey, isn't it weird... Michael Crichton didn't call me a Communist, Traitor, a Frenchman or a homosexual! Maybe others can learn something from his example?

Well propaganda is propaganda! I cannot see where you are coming from, you say that you want your 'rights' but at the same time you are attacking the very people who have given you your 'rights' in the first place. I am the first to agree that those in authority should be thoroughly investigated if there is even a whiff of impropriety, but to attack the everyday Men and Women who have given their lives throughout horrendous circumstances so you could have your say puts you in an ridiculous position. The WWII generation were one of the hardest generations that ever lived and have sacrificed a lot for the freedoms that we take for granted today especially for France, your native country; to sneer at them is the very height of bad manners and reflects an ignorance that reaches the very dimensions of such. If you really insist on continuing this site could I politely suggest that you;
A: Please don't steal the ideas of others.
B: Make your posters accurate and refer to the Politician or the Issue only.
C: Be appreciative that no country is perfect
I personally would like to see President Bush investigated as to establish his credentials as a politician and to investigate the exacting relationship between the Bush family and the Saudi Oil Barons. However, I draw a distinction between the American People and the politicians I would never downtalk the former. Many people died and lived appalling lives so you could do what you are doing, to distort and insult their efforts and memories in fighting against Fascism is a crying shame.

I believe it was CBS that reported that most of our infantry was actually white...check your facts!
October 22, 2004 - Sherman
I never claimed the majority of the infantry wasn't white. In fact, combat arms in generally is disproportionately white. What I claim is that the poor, minorities and foreign citizens are over-represented in the military in general. Do a little research, the facts are on my side. We have become Rome, promising education and citizenship to those who serve Caesar in the Legions.
First of all I am not American. I still consider that every body in that country is so self centered and ignorant about everything it is scary. I do not understand this obssesion with "Our boys" refering to the military specially soldiers. Look my friend, your soldiers are all killers. Mourn the people of Iraq, not those brutes overloaded with testosterone that dont even understand why they are there. Soldiers are not there to help people. They are trained to kill. If you want to help humanity be a nurse or a doctor not a bloody soldier. Every american soldier deserves its fate, because they are all brutes and invaders. You americans will never understand. Its not Osama who is going to destroy your nation. Your stupid country is rotting from the inside out!
October 17, 2004 - Andres
Andres, our soldiers are not all "killers." They're brave men and women put in harm's way by a preening socialite playing at dictator and his sinister cabal of right-wing dreamers. Having grown up in a military family, it's safe to say that I respect the people who volunteer to defend this country. They are far from brutes. While a few of them may be doing indefensible garbage like the Abu Ghraib tortures, I blame those individuals and their commanders (all the way up to their Commander In Chief who authorized torture), NOT the entire military.
ONLY in America do you have the rights to freely publish and distribute these moronic ideas. Try something like this under Saddam's ring of terror. I think you and Uday would have been spending some quality time together. How about trying this in North Korea. Your sorry ass would be lucky just to know what the fuck the internet was, much less get to use it. You really have no clue how fucking bad it could be!

Lying Socialist! To create Anti-American posters is even more below contempt. You must be proud to stand side by side with Michael More - a known Socialist and anti-American. There has never been a country in the history of this planet that has given more to the rest of the world than America. Furthermore, there has NEVER been a super-power (let alone a SOLE super-power) that has never colonized another country. Since you make your contempt for this country so obvious, I suggest you try a "decent" country to live in - Iran, France, China, Russia, or Syria may be more to your liking. Have fun kissing KERRY ass. With as much pity as I can muster for you,

Funny, but exaggerated. You have some good ideas, but you have several flaws as well. First, you shouldn't stoop to theatrics. It's below you. Second, you seem to generalize the average American soldier (and those that support them) as mindless, baby-killing, red-necks. I agree that the planning from the higher echelons was very screwed up, but the average soldier, when left to his own intentions, will almost invariably do the right thing. As a veteran of both Iraq and Afghanistan, I have seen fantastic displays of compassion shown by my soldiers and others. And Abu Ghareib, while terrible and disappointing, does not typify the average soldier. And I don't want to waste time actually arguing the reason why we went to war and whether it was justified, but Saddam was a terrible dictator and overthrowing him was just. As far as the "why now, and what about the other dictators in the world" retort you will invariably give... I don't know. On the other hand, to all of you that write hate mail here... don't EVER question anyone's patriotism just because they have a different opinion. Loving America also means criticizing its leaders when they are wrong. Patriotism is in your heart, and cannot be quantified by the number of flags and bumper stickers you put on your car. I hate the typical BS response, "America, love it or leave it," or even worse, "if you dont like it, you can leave." So Dr. Martin Luther King should have left the country instead of fighting immoral laws? Come on now.

Everyone is entitled to their views, but people like you just sort of make that a bad thing. I can understand where you're coming from, but you make it so hard to agree with your points, and saddistic sarcasm, that i just gave up and concluded that you are a hopeless soul, just looking to get attention. Wether you want to be publicly hated on the net, is your business, but spreading around your crappy, disturbingly frustrating views, dosen't exactly help make my day any better. In the future, I'll make sure all my random searches aren't so random, if you know what I mean. I'm not one of those self righteous "save yourself from an eternity of hell" church go-ers, who thinks J.K Rowling is the Devil's mistress, but still, all I have to say, is maybe focus a vit more on the positive things in your life (if you have a life) and stop agcentuating the nagative, that seems to multiply each day. It's quite easy to give in, and mouth off about crap to make others feel bad, and send hate mail, but it's even easier to try to find something to keep you afloat. in your case, that may have to be a physciatrist. Think before you type, or speak. One day, it won't just be the people planted in front of their computer screens that want to kick your ass. That isn't a threat, as I don't do violeance. it's crap, like your posts, and your ''other stuff''. Like I said, smarten up, or just give yp. Hmmm....maybe you already have? Spineless jerks like you are all the same.

I put together a few posters of my own regarding toady's political situation. However, I used Russian pieces, and changed them to attack the left. I also used Nazi art in the same manner. An example would be a German soldier wearing a helmet, and holding a small black child, and giving him food. the caption says, "Liberals are your friends!" Or, and image of Stalin saluting over a column of soldiers in parade march. The caption reads "Rock the Vote!" in reference to the liberal media backed "registration drive" I would be honored by your feed back on these, if that is ok with you. perhaps you could allow me to send a few to you via email. Please don't hate me because I am a Republican. Diversity makes us human!
September 25, 2004 - John
The neat art is wasted when the words are as clever as "Up Yours, Bush," which will be a real hit with 6th graders that visit me, but not much more. Here's hoping you try for something in the future that adults will IQ's above, say, 60 will be amused by. Try to skip doing neat retro-art for things like "Bush is stupid" or "I hate you, W" or "Bush is ugly AND stupid." With enemies like you, he is not going to have to worry too much -- you will energize the crowd who haven't passed the driver's license test yet to get themselves to the polling booths. Come on -- put as much into the message as the artwork.

President Bush has released all his military records. Signed Defense Department Form 180 - which specifically releases all his records to anybody who wants them. John Kerry refuses to sign Form 180 which would release his records. Why won't he release them? If you want to say that Bush is hiding something - you have to wonder about Kerry (when using an open mind). Please stick to the facts and try not to push off propaganda as fact. Please don't pull a Joseph Goebbels on us. Even if you tell a lie often enough - it is still a lie. I'm not an art critic, nor to I blame or hold a grudge against you for expressing yourself. I just like to point out hypocrisy when I see or hear it (from either side). As a side note, I think that it is funny that people who don't stick to the facts (CBS News especially) are pushing people to vote for Bush. All the screaming and spewing just doesn't work. Take a look at the polls. Hate George Bush if you want to, but its obvious that the democrats could have found a better candidate than John Kerry. That is what is truly costing the dems the election. Like it or not, the man flip-flops constantly. He doesn't have the charm of Clinton - so he can't get away with it. When the majority of democratic voters say they're voting against Bush, rather than for Kerry, it says loud and clear that the rank and file members of the party aren't sure of him either. I'm keeping it civil. We live in a great country.
September 22, 2004 - Kevin
I never claimed Kerry as my guy. I held my nose and voted against George W. Bush.
I do not feel comfortable with the label "hate mail", although I feel very strongly that you are a misguided, arrogant, for lack of better wording, idiot. First of all, I believe strongly in freedom of speech (can you believe it, I'm a conservative!), however, I also believe that it is your duty as a persuading political militant, apparently, to at least invest some sort of intellectual basis for your ramblings...does it even occur to you that not one single ad of yours has any factual basis whatsoever? Just idiotic meaningless opinion? You are entitled to that of course, but it is a travesty that yours is so dillusional. So just a suggestion, maybe before you create your next tragedy of art, try to look up some facts about our President and this great nation...like, oh, I don't know, the fact that he liberated millions of people from torture and fear, maybe the vindication of a little known (or remembered) date known as September 11th (although I know you liberals like to pretend that that was all OK, because the poor little terrorists did it), or perhaps on a lesser note, the millions in dollars of tax breaks that John Kerry himself voted against? Alas, I digress, I realize you probably stopped reading this as soon as it turned into, uh-oh, FACTS...I know it's scary. So anyhow, good luck with your journey of self-expression, but do us all a favor, and maybe put a little foundation into it next time, the fluff is starting to dissolve.
September 21, 2004 - Katie
Why don't -I- look up some facts?! The "vindication" of 9/11?! Lord, sister, it's YOUR President who sent his waterboy up to the United Nations claiming that we had satellite photos of WMD research facilities which later turned out to be chicken coops. Oh, and how has killing 13,000 Iraqi civilians "vindicated" 9/11? Or are "they" all the same for you? Out of curiosity, do you really feel that not ONE of the posters has ANY factual basis whatsoever? Seriously? Or was that hyperbole?
No, honestly I could not find one that I thought was fact-based, however just so you know I am not just some uninformed antagonist, why don't I challenge you to pick any one in particular...any one, and give me the FACTUAL, not satirical, not ironic, but factual basis to it, and I will concede my defeat to the liberal. I do wonder, as well, if you are actually objective enough to see your faults in reasoning, as in the fact that this war is not really about oil? You do know that, seriously, right?

Why do you post retorts to hatemail? It weakens your position to give hatemail any credence. But, by the same token, it does give you a stump to crow from. The transparency of this "baiting" is apparent.
September 16, 2004 - Ivan, NYU Student
Why you little... exposed again! And I would have gotten away with it if it wasn't for that punk kid and his stupid dog!
I don't see why everyone is so upset. So what if this guy is using old art to send a fresh message. Why not report the manufacturers of retro style clothing to the authorities? The traitors here are the ones who criticize you. They have broken the covenant of brotherly love (the great commandment). Before anyone criticizes me know that I am a veteran and have earned the right to speak of things as I know them to be. President Bush is our president and deserves our respect as such. I agree and disagree with our presence in Iraq. The majority of Americans are being led by their noses into a new world order in such a subtle manner that they don't know it. Same sex attraction known as homosexuality is an abomination to God as it is written in His Word. Medical evidence documents has shown that homosexuality is an emotional disturbance and there is no gay DNA. Even though this behavior is condoned by government, etc. that does not make it right. America, turn to Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior, establish the faith and repent, develop your relationship with God (spend time with Him by reading your bibles which is Gods holy word). Gods word teaches us by telling us to judge ourselves that we may not be judged. It is a fearful thing to fall into the hand of the living God. Though we are human and do make mistakes Jesus blood is an atonement for all sin. Why would anyone want to deny Jesus for loving and wanting to save them? Jesus wants us with Him in heaven, WAKE UP! Terrorism is being used as a sales pitch for a safer America and hence a safer world. The people of the planet in all their wisdom will eventually give up any rights they may have just to be secure. Freedom or security, which would y'all rather have? Would y'all be a free people, one nation under God, establishing liberty and your freedom to fight for such liberty? Or would y'all flush your liberties down the toilet because the government tells you that it will keep you safe? If government worked as it should, there would be no problem. If y'all want history research how government was established according to our constitution which is fading quickly into history. See the difference? I love you all in Christ,
September 14, 2004 - Jackie
Jackie's letter starts out nice... and then quickly devolves into weirdness and homophobia. 5/400 posters on this site involve homosexuality... why do Republicans automatically assumer their enemies are gay communists? Oh, right, Faux News.
Dude, if you really hate the United States of America and it's government so much, why don't you just leave? There's lots of socialist and communist countries out there with your ideals that would be happy to take you in. But remember, leaving the U.S. may be easier than leaving those communist countries. At least you have the freedom to leave this country, and the freedom to dishonor it’s heroes, but the rest of us here get tired of listening to your whining. You communists don't understand what makes this country great. Like all of the great communist leaders past, you think that if you can only take over control of the government that you can turn this into a communist utopia state. Unfortunately, in the end, it would just be another regime state with substandard living conditions where everyone is equally poor with no motive for excellence or productivity, and no hope for a better future. The communist rule can only be forced on such a society against the human will of free choice. You seem to portray those traits already. The terrorists we fight today want to turn this world into a great Islamic Caliphate, with Usama as the co-ruler with Allah. You think you have problems with your Constitutional rights now, just wait until the mujheddin is holding the muzzle of an AK-47 to your head, and telling you to convert to Islam or else. Maybe you will be one of the lucky ones that doesn't have his head sawed off with a dull knife while you scream for mercy. No, wait, I'm sure you will convert to Islam when that time comes. Enjoy your fantasy world, dude. I hope you wake up to reality before I wake up to your fantasy!
September 13, 2004 - Kevin
Like all of the great Communist leaders past? I guess that means I'm in charge! Up against the wall with Kevin! What a paranoid world you live in where everyone you don't agree with is a "communist" and is an eager fellow traveler with Islamist fanatics. I guess it's not your fault... after all, your "Moderate" President tells you these things. It's weird... I remember the days where fiscally conservative, socially moderate Republicans still existed. Nowadays to call yourself a Republican, you have to spend the government's money like it's going out of style, you have to go to church six times a week, think that Abortion is the worst thing on Earth, think that Americans have too many freedoms except for gun control in which you believe we don't have enough freedom, you must believe we can win a War On Terror without addressing the poverty and repression which creates it, you must believe we invaded Iraq to stop Saddam's nonexistent nuclear program, no wait, you must believe that we went there because of 9/11, no wait, you must believe we went there to free people, right, THAT is why we invaded Iraq, you must ignore the fact that 2/3 of the country are not in America's control, you must ignore the fact that GW Bush has destroyed our long-term economic health by passing all of his bills onto our children, you must believe that appointing Saddam's former right-hand-man -- a known torturer and murderer -- is a GOOD idea and represents freedom and democracy. You people are through the looking glass, chum.
Why is the administration racist? Because the majority of those who'd kill us are Arab? BTW - we get most of our oil from non-Arab sources. CBS, ABC, CNN, NPR, LA Times, MSNBC, etc, etc... gotta love the Liberal news! I don't recall ANY candidate stating books=bad. Oh, BTW... test results are up around the nation. Nothing wrong with tying Fed $ to results. I don't subscribe to any particular party, but just because Fox blatantly reports the opposite of CNN doesn't make them the only bad news outlet. I agree with the notion of researching.
September 7, 2004 - Dan
my only problem with [your global warming] poster is that it seems to place ALL the blameat America's feet. America is hardly the biggest culprit, a culprit to be sure, but not the largest. Also, have you or anyone you know suffered due to the Patriot Act? Be honest.
September 7, 2004 - R.S. Glasgow
Well, every time I fly, I'm pulled aside at the gate and subjected to an embarassing body search and uncomfortable crotch grope, but I can't figure out if that's because of the Patriot Act or because I'm just such a chunk of hunk...

As a libertarian, I don't support offensive war or the government at all. What worries me are the socialist posters on your site. You can't possibly think that the plutocratic John Kerry is better than Bush. He is much worse. Kerry voted for the war. He voted against a bill that would require UN support before attacking (not that I support the world-government bastards at the UN, but still). Now Kerry wants to send more troops to Iraq if he gets elected, and on top of that he wants socialist health-care (that has failed everywhere it has been implemented). Stick to insulting the fascists not supporting the communists (and don't acknowledge a non-existent difference).

Hey, don't blame me for Kerry... I voted for Dean. THE SOCIALIST SCREAMER! Yeeearrrggghhh!
So I guess you havent had your 4 year old childs limbs chopped off and left for 6 hours before dying. Or you havent been on clean up detail after a muslimbombing a daycere outside Jerusalum, where the the stench of blood and burnt skin almost knock you down. I guess you never held a baby after a terrorist attack only to have the head come apart as you walk, and the babies eyes were looking up at you. I guess you would "open lines of Communication with these people" Are you Real or are you joking because a person couldnt be this ignorant. I know who you are! Youre a guy who likes to see his girlfriend with other men. You like big dicked men to fuck her because you like being a sassy-sissy. You are a slave. You are probably French and like to be pissed on by black bulls. Hey cuckhold faggot sissy see if you can remember this: Hitler is your idol. You would have been a fuck dummy for the Nazi army in 1939. should England have waited to find WMD in Germany. Tell that to 6 million humans that were slaughtered you peice of socialist shit. John Kerrys Anti-Soldier speeches were used in the torture chambers in Vietnam to show our soldiers before the cut their heads off. We will be watching you young one. The NWO prisons are hell. I say that in present tense. New World Order prisons are all over central Amerika. Do you think it was a coincidence our involvement in nicaragua and panama. It is happening Socialist all over the world are dissappearing in record number! s . You DO NOT WANT TO HEAR WHAT GOES ON THERE. But I can tell you The chambers are very reminiscent of your beloved socialist Utopia, der Deutschlan. See you soon?

I ran across your website this afternoon. I'm a bit shocked that you're still in the anti-war business. I think that the fact that the anti-war movement apparently still embraces you speaks very ill of their intellectual integrity. The decent thing for you to do would be to exhibit some shame about your actions and withdraw from public debate on the war, if
for no other reason than to add credibility to the anti-war movement.
August 24, 2004 - David
I'm not a spokesman for any "movement." I make propaganda when the President and his goons do something stupid enough for me to comment on. I'm not getting a check from the vast left-wing anti-war movement... I make artbecause it relieves frustration and because I feel the need to speak out as a free American. Don't expect me to stop until Bush is out of the White House. Or perhaps he should exhibit some shame about his actions and withdraw from public office, if for no other reason than to add credibility to those in the pro-torture and pro-killing-civilians movement? Just saying: what's good for the goose is good for the gander.
You are one bunch of money grubbing sick puppies !!
August 23, 2004 - Dan
Why is this called (Hate Mail) ? People who are expressing their point of view "though it might be different from yours," does not constitute hate but merely difference of opinion.
If you want to see "hate" simply look at the artwork that you can purchase from this website.
August 19, 2004 - Joe Racz, New Jersey
P.S. This message will probably never reach your website. If it does I assure you it will be doctored-up to include typographic errors and some type of liberal spin to further back your feeble attempt to correlate conservatism to stupidity. No hate here ! Just a well informed American !
Well, except for the spaces before the exclamation marks, and the weird parentheses around Hate Mail, Joe's letter is free of typographic errors. I'd better go back and doctor-up some "liberal spin," or else my feeble attempts to correlate conservatism to stupidity will NEVER reach the levels of George W. Bush's attempts to do the same.
For the record, I assure you, dear readers, I don't doctor ANY of the email I get. Sometimes I have to truncate it because it's 5 or 6 pages of ranting, but I generally try to leave it exactly as I found it.
LOL....I don't know who is worse. The rightwing or your leftwing polipropaganda.
Your work is classic examples of multiple usage of propaganda. Hopefully your only in it for the money, cause no one could be this decieved. You break every rule of logical aggurment, and fall straight into your own trap of emotionalism propaganda. "Successful propaganda appeals to emotions not reason."-Joseph Goebbels. "All warfare is based on deception."- Sun Tzu BC 535-228. As well as your dis-info war! "The Great Masses of the people will more easily fall victims to a big lie then to a small one." - Adolph Hitler. Because mass appeal propaganda uses emotional appeal, just exactly as you have done. Rotf Lmao........Have a nice lie!

Once more, someone has exposed my sinister propaganda for what it is... sinister propaganda! Why they think I'm hiding that fact is beyond me. It also mystifies me why they think they're discovering something new when the name of the webpage is "The Propaganda Remix Project." The fact that I use the word "Propaganda" should clue people in that they're about to be propagandized, right? Right?
Don't like FOX, well read this: Too bad I doesn't support your point of view.
August 5, 2004 - Greg
Uh... yes! It am some of the too bad! (and I'm the guy equating stupidity with conservatism?)
I have risked my life many times to defend your right to denegrate our country. I have buried many good friends who died at a young age so that you and the rest of this country can continue about its merry fucking way, completely oblivious to the fact that it is a cold, hard world out there. People in this country, you included, seem to think that all of this freedom, all of the rights we have, the rights that your are so cleverly exercising come for free. That no sacrifice is involved to keep them, that no sacrifice was involved to earn them in the first place. The people who do the sacrificing for the most part are the soldiers, marines, airman and sailors of our armed forces. And you thank them for that by belittling their contribution, inaccurately portraying them and showing no thanks for their service. This is your right. I am happy to serve this country to protect your sorry, weak ass. If it wasnt for me and people like me you wouldnt be free to persue your misguided endeavors. And that is America. And I love it. And when its all said and done, my service and sacrifice will add up to a lot more contribution to the world than yours.
When you use imagery of Americans in uniform and you show them in an unflattering light, you disrespect all veterans and you play into the hand of our enemies. Torture? You and everyone else who thinks those pictures from Abu Graib represent torture have no fucking idea what torture and pain is all about apparently. What went on in that prison under Saddam was torture. Catch a clue. Tell you what, try this. Ask ANY Iraqi who is incarcerated in Abu Graib who they would rather have running the place, the good ole US of A or any Arab regime or European nation for that matter or the Taliban, I would bet my paycheck they would want us running the place. Cuz they know what torture really is. I generally have no respect for civilians. For the most part, the fast food eating, sleek car financing, only caring about myself and what decadant crap I can buy for myself citizens who make up this country dont deserve my respect. I have no respect for people in this country simply because they have no idea how easy they have it. Just like you have no idea. I do see myself as superior. I dont apologize for that. I just am. You obviously have a superiority complex as well, although I think yours comes more from a sense of entitlement rather than anything of note that you have personally accomplished.
July 11, 2004 - Kristian, 75th Ranger Regiment
Hi, thanks for writing. My posters don't denigrate this country, only the cabal of madmen
currently running it. I'm fully aware of the sacrifices the military makes. I don't feel that any of the posters denigrate the honorable men & women of the armed services, save for those who do things like shooting civilians or torturing the innocent in Abu Ghraib Prison. More alarmingly, you sound like you really resent your fellow Americans. Is this the case? Or only people whose politics differ from yours?
Leperous is an interesting choice of pseudonyms. Blind obedience should always be questioned. Absolutism is a menace. Unfortunately, civil liberties that are suspended in times of national emergency are not the same as civil rights which can never be curtailed, denied , or abridged. No one has taken away your civil rights. The fact that you can run a website in the public domain with unpopular opinions and rhetoric is proof of that. It is extremism that is the greater danger than your perception of what the current reality is. I personally find it irresponsible to distort the previous works of others to reflect a narrow, misinformed perspective and to promulgate that distortion unto the public at large. You invite rebuttal, yet you treat any rebuttal as invalid,or as inept because your views can't possibly be wrong. I wonder what sort of personality accepts such a completely indefensible perspective? Well, I'd much rather be alive and free, than popular and dependent on the whims and will of others. it is curious that as unpopular as the United States might be , our economic aid, our industrial capacity, our benevolence in the face of disasters both natural and man made are not only expected, but are demanded! I would wish you luck with your endeavors, but then I realize that your views are reflected in a tiniest sliver of American social conscience, and I realize its not worth it..

You are a French Liberal Asshole that can only see the bad side of things and never looks at the other side:
1. Tax cuts for EVERYONE
2. 5000 iraqi cildren under the age of 5 died each month from un santions
3. Fearless mokey poster is of him making the "oh" sound
4. ever heard of tax cuts for hybrids
5. their have been about 3800 casualties in iraq about 3400 of which are wounded
6. tax raises proposed by kerry will kill our recovering economy
7. not all republicans hav suv's (me for example)
8. england fully supports the war
9. tax cuts work to help ecomony (raganomics)

I love President Ragan and his Raganomics.
The greatest deception saten ever did is convincing the world that he does not exist. Accept Jesus, Let him save your soul, you have the choice. Do not be decieved. Contact a local church or prayerline today. Once a person is in hell it is just too late. Save your soul for eternity. Pray everyday.

What happen? Someone set up us the bomb. We get signal. What? Main screen turn on. It's you! How are you Gentlemen? All your base are belong to us. You are on the way to destruction. What you say? You have no chance to survive, make your time. Ha ha ha. For great justice take off every Zig!
Don't know how I came across this site. Must have typed in "loser that can't get a woman, friends, a job or any attention and so it must be governments fault." Unfortunately, you are not the only dipshit (like many liberals) that don't realize the terrorists want to kill you and all Americans, Christians & Jews. Do you think they're flying planes into our buildings on accident? If Saddam or some of these other meglomaniacal psychos could nuke us, they would. Don't think others are still not trying, even if the best the can come up with is some dude trying to light an M-80 in his Reeboks on a plane. If the U.S. suffered some sort of nuclear or biological attack, you would be one of the first assholes in line blasting the Bush Administration for not preventing it. Wake up to reality dude, we're not living in Leave it to Beaver Land anymore. I'm sure you're also the type of person that went ballistic over the Prisoner Abuse Scandal. We're not dragging in the soldier's family members and torturing them in front of them. Saddam splattered the infants of innocent prisoners on cement walls in front of them. Is it just me, or does this seem worse than taking pictures of a soldier's wiener. I'm still saying it was stupid and wrong to treat them that way but distorted people like you need to put things in the proper perspective. The U.S.A. is the best country in the world. It's just too bad we have so many assholes like you living in it!

Okay, now I've got the proper perspective: our torture isn't as bad as Saddam's torture, so we're totally cool. Got it.
Dear WW2 propaganda remix gurus, I saw this poster a while back that has this guy in the cockpit of an airplane waving his arm saying "Get out of the way liberal pussies we'll do all the fighting!" If so I thought that was funny as hell. I also wanted to know if you guys made the poster with the soldier and the cup of coffee saying "How about a nice cup of shut the fuck up, you hollywood faggs!" Let me know so I can buy these posters.

Oh yeah, for sure, those are mine. Definitely. You can buy them at www.bushissofuggingreatandeveryonewhodoesn'tlikehimisafagg.com.
Being a soldier in the United States Army and more or less in support of the war, I think your posters are great. But I would support the war more if it meant cheaper gas too.

As an art artist whose work has been exhibited at the Smithsonian Institution of Fine Arts as well as many other avenues and as the President of WK Reynolds, the advertising agency in Portlland, Maine, I have to say I do not hate the work or judge the graphic quality or techinique of execution. I am not viewing the “propaganda” as propaganda at all because of how it has been derived, would be a nicer word (Someone commented in a letter that this work has been plagiarized, which is not the case.), but rather because the work was stolen from others. Moreover re-packaged and re-sold, cointerfeited. Propaganda is only useful and powerful if it is unique. There is nothing unique about posters made from materials others have created. In fact, I would call it nectrophasia or eating the dead. Not only is this highly illegal and unethical you do a profound diservice to artists who create original art with original messages. It is furthermore an affront to Freedom of Speech as I consider that a great priviledge in the United States and you are really not an example of that but of taking the speech of others as well as the artwork itself. Because you seem unaware of the law from an ethical standpoint, I plan on reporting you to authorities not for your purported messages but for simply stealing and making money from others’ work. I do so not because I disagree with you or even agree to disagree. I do so because to me a liar and a thief are the lowest forms of life on earth, and to not alert you to actions that will take place if you do not cease and decist would not be honorable either.
May 27, 2004 - W.K. Reynolds
1. It's all in the Public Domain.
2. As an "art artist" you aren't much of a writer.
3. I missed the memo declaring you the arbiter of what is or isn't art. I guess as a pop-culture sampler and remixer, I go into the garbage bin with other non-artists as Warhol, Lichtenstein and the Beastie Boys.
4. You say there is "no talent there." Your opinion. I can't respond in kind because a thorough Google search shows nothing at all about a W.K. Reynolds or an advertising company bearing that name. Far be it from me to draw any conclusions based on that.
5. Enjoy reporting me to the Art Police!
Standard retort. And not acceptable. The art is obviously stolen and manipulated. This means 1) it is indeed illegal...not all images are in public domain for you to alter or use. 2) the fact that you claim to receive money from the US Government is also illegal as it is a conflict of interest. 3) there is simply no talent there. 4) there is no such thing as “art police.” There is simply the law and honest decency. 5) you are free to enjoy your freedom of speech. What may I ask IS your speech besides this awkward defense. There is no voice in the art at all. Most certainly not your own, and that is just sad.

How can you put stuff on there about gay people being bad? I mean, ya. everyone has their own opinions. But having those shirts on there about "Our son married Gay!" and "Gay marriage endangers America". You are putting down and offending a lot of people for that. Even to people that aren't gay and just support them. I hope you know that being sexist is as bad as being racist. I don't see you putting things on there against blacks, whites, Hispanics, or anyone of a different race. Anyways, please think about taking those off. Even if some people may think it's funny, it really isn't. It's just plain rude. I'm sorry. But, I don't care if it is a joke, or isn't a joke. I also don't care if it comes from "the Bush White House". It's wrong and I, along with Homosexuals and such, do not appreciate it. It is very rude and very offending. It is your choice if you leave it on there or not. But i'm telling you right now that you are pissing a lot of people off.

You've presented a wide collection of of crudely sick and twisted stuff. If
it were based on some sort of notion of reality, it might be amusing. I hope the people who have been directed to your collection take the time to track down, view and appreciate the true spirit and messages of the ORIGINAL unmutilated posters, even the original Nazi ones, to see the purposes to which they were originally drawn. As they are in your collection, they have no bearing on our current situation of fighting a global terror network (NOT, as you believe, the USA) bent on the destruction of Western civilization. If Al Qaida and their ilk have their way, your legally protected voice of dissent would be put down with your imprisonment and/or execution, and your mothers/wives/daughters subjected to rape and slavery. So perhaps someday soon you will see that your efforts would be better spent aiding the REAL fight.

Go live you life on your knees,,either for sucking dick or cowering, I am sure you do both. When you look at your hope for the presidents job, John Kerry, you are looking in the mirror. Remember your lies when you listen to his "war hero" stories, ask him to show you a scar from his, "wounds" or how it felt to be in,"combat" for 14 days of the four whole months in Vietnam. Ask him how his cousin is doing with that 1.8 billion dollar deal with the Vietnamese government. Coward, liar and scumbag, that is you in a nutshell.

I don't. I only talk down about torturers in uniform and the civilian leadership who issues their orders. I'm fully aware that not all soldiers are torturers and not everyone in their chain of command is a sadistic sicko... just the guys at the top like Donald Rumsfeld & GW.
Hello sir, Praise the Lord above all things. RESPECT the President for doing the best job he can. Remember you are a human just like him, WE ALL make mistakes. BELIEVE in doing the right thing, fighting for the rest of the world to have freedom just like you have been so privileged with. EDUCATE yourself with the history of our country. It seems that every war we have fought has been with purpose. (Hitler and Saddam are like twins: don?t be like Chamberlain and appease the totalitarian) REMEMBER the victims of September 11th. Those are the real innocent victims. Your fellow countrymen who were ruthlessly killed for no logical reason. (Wouldn?t you want to be avenged in any way possible?) We will get all the bad guys! It makes me sad to see fellow Americans fight with each other as we do. Of course difference of opinion is what makes this country unique but to the level it is being taken too is just sad. I pray every night that God would heal the hearts of this nation. All I can do is start with myself. Love- a fellow American.

For the last time, people, Saddam Hussein, Dictator of Iraq, had NOTHING to do with the 9/11 attacks. Believe me, if there were proof of his involvement, Fox News would be showing it 24/7 leading up to this election. You speak of "wouldn't you want to be avenged in any way possible?" Let me put it to you this way. If I was at the grocery store and it was robbed by criminals and they took my wallet and shot my wife, I wouldn't go home, get a gun and go kill everyone who works at the bank next door to get avenged. That's the equivalent of what we did to Iraq; We used the excuse of "my wife was killed so I have to protect my children from future threats" to justify robbing the bank next door to the grocery store just because they both have money inside of them.
I don’t think I am confusing the two issues. In fact I never said there was a direct correlation between the two. I really don’t know I am not part of the CIA or anything. I just wanted to mention it because Saddam and 9/11 could indeed be related. I surely could not prove that they are but how can you prove that they are not? No I don’t think that killing is a good thing. I don’t think that it is the solution to all problems but when diplomacy does not work then there is a time and a place to take action. When Saddam kept resisting the requirements of the United Nations why wouldn’t Bush and the whole government think he was hiding something? I would just like to say I don’t know if I am right because I have no way of knowing what goes on behind closed doors. I know that I believe in my country still. I know that the president as good or as bad as he may be is still my authority. I do know that if he is right or he is wrong he has been honest about what he is doing the whole time. He has not wavered and he is standing strong in his decisions. I respect that. I will also continue to respect anyone that is appealing to my safety and to the boys that are keeping me safe. I don’t know your story. I don’t know why you feel the way that you do. All I know is that we are in Iraq for the long hull. Why don’t we put are disagreements aside and support our boys (my best friend) who are in Iraq. We should support them fully and completely so as to get them home sooner.
April 24, 2004 - Lisa
Okay, let me be sure I've got all this right:
1. It's incumbent upon me to proove the negative that there was no connection between Saddam and Osama, not on you who makes such claims without any evidence to proove the positive?
2. Killing isn't a good thing unless diplomacy does not work, and THEN it's okay to kill.
3. The assumption you're working on is that Bush was at all interested in diplomacy.
4. But you can't prove that, either, because you don't know what went on behind closed doors, despite all of the Bush Administration people who have come forth and said that Bush was interested in finding a way to invade Iraq from the moment he came to power.
5. Right or Wrong, Bush is your Authority, and one should ALWAYS obey Authority. Especially since Bush has NEVER lied about anything at all.
6. Bush is incapable of changing his mind when presented with new facts... oh, sorry, I meant "Bush does not waver in his decisions and stands strong and you respect that."
7. The best way to end the war quickly is to give Bush carte blanche to do whatever he wants in Iraq.
Okay, cool... I just wanted to make sure I had a bullet point list to live my life by going forward from this point in time...
I think all of this is bullshit...If you would really care about our people then you would have put a stop to all of this shit that has been going on...I think if you were one of them that had to go through losing a child you wouldn't like yourself either...Screw Bush for 2004!!!

Had I been in a position to intercept communications between Mohammad Atta and his cohorts that foretold of his plan to commit mass murder, I would have gladly condoned torture as a valid means of extracting crucial information from him. Can you honestly tell me you would hesitate to use any means at your disposal to prevent mass murder? I don't think I would believe you if you indicated otherwise. Unfortunately, Micah, since men have walked upright there have been those among us who are consumed with self-serving thoughts which make it seem perfectly legitimate--to them--to kill others in order to get what they want. This can be a result of greed, revenge, hatred, religious zealotry, delusional thoughts, a mixture of two or more of these, or some entirely different reason altogether. As long as organized groups of men exist who feel they are justified in killing thousands of innocent people, others will remain entirely justified in using torture in an effort to prevent such events. Such things are sometimes mandatory. However, they are not physically detrimental to humans in such a way as to offend the majority of the population of the western world. Unfortunately, when time is of great import, pain is the most effective tool any interrogator can employ to gain vital information quickly.

Yes, so long as there are those among our government with self-serving thoughts which makes it legitimate to them to kill others in order to get what they want for reasons of greed, revenge, hatred, religious zealotry, or delusional thoughts, then I guess the Republicans are still in the White House...

I really like most of you're posters, especially the one's with Uncle Sam bashing the current administration since I am against the war and all. But as a religious catholic I must object to that "this is the enemy" poster, which you recognize as the most hated, but for some reason also the most purchased, item on your site. However, I will not go nuts as I write this. Obviously that is a takeoff of the Mein Kampf poster. I hope you're not trying to compare the bible to Mein Kampf or Christianity to Nazi ideology. That is a very stupid thing to do and they are also incompatible ("blessed are the peacemakers" and "do unto others as you would want others to do unto you" don't seem to fit well with things like "death to the jews" and "enslave all inferiors"). Hitler was actually starting his own religion for the Third Reich (see the History Channel Special: Hitler and the Occult). Onto the prospect of the Iraq war being inspired by religion, only fundamentalist preachers see it that way, and even they see going in and converting as secondary to liberation. That poster is only buying into the fundamentalist preacher's twisted views and will only convince nonreligious people that religion (christianity in particular) is bad and cause religious people to begin supporting the war for the wrong reasons and become bitter toward our antiwar movement and all of its members. Religion per se does not advocate war for reasons the reasons implied in that poster, only misguided or corrupt religious leaders do.

It is an amazing thing....I see fellow "americans' who claim to be an American, who will find every reason to go against President Bush just becuase he happens to a Republican.
I find it so shameful that even the democrats have forgotten what it is to be an American. It makes me sick to my stomach how democrats have forgotten so quickly that both republican AND democratic men and women who were ALL americans died on the very terrible day of Sept 11th. That we would have not gone to war, and President Bush of course would have love not to have gone through that,but I would say Sept 11th, kinda change that! People are pretty ignorant if they think that President Bush at that very instance said okay we are now going to war! I would be very glad to tell you that maybe in movies they make split decisions like that, but not in real life. It works more like the white house getting on the phone and trying to negotiate for these crazy people to surrender etc. After chances and talks how many times and chances do you want to give them. Until YOU (personally) lose a loved one? I think not. Then all of a sudden You guys who were complaing that he went to war would be complaining President Bush didn't move fast enough! People are either getting really stupid or really disrespectful and very selfish. When you complain about him remeber their were victims and their families are still alive to hear you! You don't think that is a slap in their face? For all the people who complain etc., it is them, YOU, us,family,friends, etc who going to war we must go becuase of loose cannons like the men who followed Saddaum. For that, you have the freedom to still voice your opinion, even against President Bush. Yes even as an American you can still do that! However when talking about war, it is not a republican/democratic issue it is an American Issue and Freedom does come at a cost. Unfortunalty the ones who don't pay for it, or never have or had to fight for it don't understand or appreciate what it means to be an American. We have men and women of this country who love this country very much and who prepare themsevles to fight for our freedom in this wonderful land we call home. NO ONE EVER WANT TO GOT TO WAR, BUT BECUASE IF THAT IS WHAT WE HAVE TO DO IN ORDER TO PROTECT IT SO THAT EVERYTHING STAYS THE SAME AS WE KNOW IT, COMFORTABLE AND HAPPY. What on earth is your problem, and what is your fight? If it had been President Clinton, when all this happened, I would my life on it that the democrats would be supporting him. I can not figure out if you guys bash President Bush becuase, it absoluelty kills you that he actually is a stand up guy, takes actions and gets things done, unlike his counterpart who I am not so sure would of. However I Would have hoped regardless who was in the White House did the same thing. They put us in a postion to do so. President Bush did not go looking for war! which is how people like you and your own crap make it sound.
How come it has to be a democratic/republican thing and for once we can all as Americans stand back and see alot of our own Americans died on Sept 11th!! for no reason at all. And the men that killled them, killed them invane, there was no reason! THEY DIED...while you get to sit on your computer write negative crap....that won't matter anyway... For all those people who think America is so bad....go somewhere else......This is the best place bar none! And to those who disagree, why are We soo overflowing at the brims! So part of being an American and enjoying life as we know it, and saying doing,believeing, anything we want is protecting what we have. How come people don't understand that. Why don't you go live over there for a bit....and see long you last. President Bush might be republican....but the countries where they are dicatarian....how about that? Think you would be happy? Actually, you would most likely not have a computer and if you did, writing this stuff against your Dictator, you would be found shot and killed. How is that for ya? So, I don't know about you but if you don't think going to war and protecting what we have here is not important. Then feel free to pack your bags and just move to any country that has a dictatorship. Otherwise, how about putting things on your webpage that is more about being an Amercian, becuase President Bush just saved your right to continue on living how you want to. As I would like to "HOPE" any other President in his position at the time would of done. So why bash him, becuase he happens to be republican? Again I ask what are you fighting for?

I think it's pretty clear that I'm fighting to live in a Dictarian country because I don't think going to war and protecting what we have here is not important. Whatever that means. Your letter makes my brain hurt.
And the point is, if clinton lies about stuff YOU ( I did care)don't really care about I AM SURE HE LIED ABOUT A WHOLE LOT MORE YOU DID CARE ABOUT AND THANK YOU FOR PROVING MY POINT ! WAKE UP! I never said President Bush was perfect the only man that was was Jesus. But Sir you are talking about things that President Bush did BEFORE he BECAME PRESIDENT. Finding Christ changes a man to 9th degree! AND YES AT THIS POINT (which is what I was talking about) IT WOULD....BOTH MEN NOW, NOT WHEN THEY WERE IN THEIR TEENS EARLY TWENTIES...GET A GRIP YOU HAD REACH A LITTLE A BIT I KNOW. lol President Bush has way more Intergrity etc than Clinton can only hope to have. However Comparing those mistakes that President Bush did while NOT the President to Those of Clintons are apple and oranges.
And until you (personaly) HAVE SERVED YOUR COUNRTY AND FOUGHT FOR YOUR RIGHT TO LIVE FREE HERE I FIND IT ODD, BOLD AND I REALLY DO NOT THINK YOU HAVE A LEG TO STAND ON, JUDGING SOMONE ELSES REASONS FOR NOT BEING A SO CALLED "DRAFT DODGER"
I see the sad bottom line is that just becuase he is republican , is the only reason you will find fault. Yet you can not deny Clinton had his fair share of terrible bad happpenings,hmmm watergate???? ring any bells? Making deals with China..something about selling weapons to them..shall I go on....Becuase it was not just China..that seriously affected OUR country and yet you seem to be able to look past that. I find the human race so very interesting and yet so very ignorant as each decade goes by. I just thought of something funny though......I wonder all the people who are interested in your website, I bet they all are law abiding citzens and have never been additcted to ANYTHING just fill in the blank, or for that matter not even one of them been a "dodger". Maybe you should put a disclaimer on your items so that people know exactly which kind of "Amercians" you are trying to sell your product too. ;-) Oh and Bush Lied about Saddams connections to Osama ladebin..um hello? Are you really that stupid or just middle eastern? There is a connection you moron! That is like saying that Al Capone had nothing to do with the mob.......!!!!!!!GIVE ME A BREAK! WOW How scary that people can be soo blinded! It really is true what is said!

why dont you try to make up some propaganda posters for the liberal socialistic left wingers whos main intrest is taking freedom out of your hands and putting it in the governments. why be one sided. i know the current president is easy to make fun of but the last one was an outright criminal. how about something like " liberal media, if you cant quote fact then make something up, theyll believe you" im a soldier in the war and not a republican. i think your posters are making light of a lot of things such as homeland security. like its moving toward a police state. its my understanding that thats just what the democrats want. the government to control everything. homeland security is pretty serious and well be lucky if we avoid another attack like 911 or some form of wmd attack. who knows whos fault it is for hatred of the western world and i wish we could find an alternative for oil but if we stopped purchasing oil from the middle east there economies would suffere and they would hate us even more. we purchase over a third of the worlds petroleum a year. hey why dont you make a poster like " oil obsolete since 19??" (dont know the exact date) and have some picture of some alternative source of fuel or something. i guess what im trying to say is that your stuff is way one sided. the left side doesnt have all the answers but maybee that sells. id like to see more variety.

I think my friend put it best... "Why should i feel hated, and discriminated against just because I am white, catholic, and Upper middle class?" I dont understand you liberals and to me you all are a bunch of douches. I sincerely look forward to the day a Conservative comes into office. Its people like you that while my jewish friends and muslim friends can celebrate their religion in public places, i can't even speak one word w/o having liberals jump on my ass. I want to wear my cross in peace. If you liberals cant stand that, you can suck my balls. Just out of curioustiy why did you get a Mac? I've used them for years, and i'm surprised that alot of liberals have taken a shine to them.

It's a New Year with all new Hate Mail, and typically, the Right Wing comes in with a clear, concerted rebuttal to my arguments.
Thank you, thats exactly the kinda thing we need. bush is a whore, i want to see him hung. This war is usless i celabrate every casualty and setback that the armed forces have to endure. have you noticed? at the beginging of this war the reason was "weapons of mass destruction" and "get them before they get us", but recently the reason appears to have changed, no longer does bush talk of these so called weapons, the new reason is because "saddam is evil", now i dont believe that, saddam hussein should be celabrated as a hero, even though he runs a dictatorship, atleast he informs us he dosnt hide it... bush on the other hand continualy removes basic rights, freedoms. think for yourself, never trust a government association, and NEVER trust bush. yours truely: just another freedom fighter

Sorry, Phil, but anyone who writes me claiming to be a liberal who celebrates "every casualty and setback that the armed forces have to endure" and thinks that Saddam Hussein should be celebrated as a hero is either a piece of garbage who gives Liberals a bad name, or he's a Conservative piece of garbage trying to give Liberals a bad name. Either way, you're not a freedom fighter, you're a piece of garbage.

I see you plead for donations to keep your website "new and fresh," and also to buy more original posters to remix. I guess that's why you dislike America. Your sad "artwork' won't sell, and you want to be supported by donations to continue. How un-awesome. Un-American. Un-awesome, because we can say anything in America, but it's only in America a loser like you wants people to donate - not buy- so he can keep up his business. Little secret here... if you were creating things people bought- even liberal scum- you wouldn't need to beg like an aging, two dollar whore for crumbs.

If I had indended to compliment you on your veiws about war, you would have known it. Find it insulting? Good, so do I, puts us in agreement about something. I never called you a Nazi, I only associated you with The Anti-War monkeys, who seem to have problems with fighting those who wish us death. I'd like to argue that the WW2 Propaganda is much diffirent then American Idol, as the support generated by the Propaganda actually madea diffirence in the future outcome of our country, is taught in history class, and has some college courses that study it, while American Idol was designed for ENTERTAINMENT and will all but be forgotten in five to ten years. Propaganda is part of our History, and while it is presenting only one point of veiw, is it not up to you to decide what you think about it anyway? Wouldent doing away with propaganda be doing away with the ideas behind free speach? Not that I can say if you are suggesting an outlaw of propaganda, rather I am asking, because it seems for sure that you don't like it.

You probably, deep down, already know that your art, although creative and imaginative, is wholly unpatriotic and plagiaristic. Whether liberals want or like to admit it or not, we are doing the right thing in the world today. I am certain that every liberal expected us to never find Saddam Hussein, and now you and yours are freaking out because he may just tell us more than you want us to know -- like where weapons of mass destruction can be found. This would ruin any case you have for an unjust war. Even though, Saddam killed tens of thousands, used chemical and biological weapons on his enemies, and did not comply with your U.N.'s demands, you still want to apply other motives than these facts to our true motive for taking the actions we have. Whether you like it or not, America is the super-power, and you are afforded freedoms here that you would have been murdered for if you lived in Saddam's Iraq. There was a time that liberals would carry the torch for the downtrodden, i.e. the Cambodians when the Camer Rouge terrorized and committed genocide against thousands. Liberals demanded something be done for human rights sake and that is all the New York Times and other liberal rags went on about. Liberals are only about taking an opposing position so that someone might hear them. Your artwork is offensive to the men and women who made the choice to serve and sacrifice for our country now and in the past. As I see it, you have but one choice, emigrate to somewhere other than here (America). I would suggest maybe to Cuba or China where when speaking out against the "tyranny" of those states your efforts would be rewarded with your door being broken down and your whole family being carted off for "re-education," or worse.

You probably deep down, already know that you are a brainwashed nationalist who doesn't understand what Patriotism is. Patriotism is not doing whatever the goverment says anytime that it says to do it. Patriotism is love for, and devotion and loyalty to, one's nation. I love America. I am devoted to America... and not to an iron-bar surrounded Ashcroft America, but a FREE America. I am loyal, despite your sneering insinuations otherwise.
"Whether liberals want or like to admit it or not, we are doing the right thing in the world today."
Debatable. How does ignoring the United Nations and going to war on Iraq because THEY ignored the United Nations make us any better than Iraq? We've yet to see any proof of the imminent threats that the President and his minions told us was on the horizon. Iraq was a defeated nation with long-term aspirations to own Nuclear Weapons. BIG FREAKING DEAL. So is North Korea, but I don't see us doing anything to stop them from getting the Bomb. Pakistan, our nominal "ally" in the War on Terror has sold nuclear technology to everyone from North Korea to Libya to Iran to Saudi Arabia, but Bush isn't doing anything about THEM. When an Al Qaeda bomb destroys an American city, it will probably have "Made in Pakistan" stamped on the side.
"I am certain that every liberal expected us to never find Saddam Hussein, and now you and yours are freaking out because he may just tell us more than you want us to know -- like where weapons of mass destruction can be found. This would ruin any case you have for an unjust war."
Uh... NO, no "liberal" ever said "we will NEVER find Saddam." Most intelligent people said "well, if we find Saddam, great, if not, no big deal because once toppled, NO modern dictator has ever returned to power. Saddam is a part of Iraq's past... fixing Iraq's democracy, electricity and plumbing are problems for our future. I'm glad we caught Saddam, but if I were GW Bush I would be a lot more scared of what a LIVING Saddam is going to say at his trial than having him talk about non-threatening WMDs. Questions like "Why did the US Ambassador to Iraq tell you it would be okay for you to invade Kuwait?" or "How much Anthrax did Ronald Reagan sell you?" or "Why did Donald Rumsfeld give you satellite weather maps to make it easier for you to use Chemical Warfare on the Kurds back in the 1980's?" pose MUCH bigger problems for GW than "where are your nonexistant nuclear weapons?" do.
"Whether you like it or not, America is the super-power, and you are afforded freedoms here that you would have been murdered for if you lived in Saddam's Iraq. ... Your artwork is offensive to the men and women who made the choice to serve and sacrifice for our country now and in the past."
And I fought to secure those freedoms, so blow it out your ass.
"Liberals are only about taking an opposing position so that someone might hear them."
I like this game! My turn: "Conservatives are all about raping children and eating live rats." See how I just took an idiotic nonsense phrase with nothing to back it up and stated it as fact? I learned it by watching YOU. Incidentally, I don't know why you keep calling me a Liberal. I'm not... the things I believe in USED to be embraced by Republicans, but now have been thrown away in return for Pork Money from GW Bush. My view is that Bush-era Conservatives are bankrupting my nation with wild spending, enrolling my country in pointless foreign war after pointless foreign war, cutting taxes on those who can afford them in order to pour that money into the pockets of war profiteers like Halliburton, destroying the environment in order to help out polluters who contribute to his campaign, making it easier for the Government to spy on Americans, and making it easier for corporate criminals to rip off the American people. These are all stances that Dwight Eisenhower, Richard Nixon and Ronald Reagan espoused. You REALLY need to re-learn the difference between a "Liberal" and a "Conservative" and whatever the hell it is that GW Bush really is, because he is NOT a Conservative.
"As I see it, you have but one choice, emigrate to somewhere other than here (America). I would suggest maybe to Cuba or China where when speaking out against the "tyranny" of those states your efforts would be rewarded with your door being broken down and your whole family being carted off for "re-education," or worse."
As I see it, you have but one choice: continue to be a Fox-News brainwashed lemming, or suck it up and defend our Constitution against the poaching of our Civil Rights by Bush & Ashcroft. With your constant assaults on my freedom of speech, you and your fellow inbred "Conservatives" show yourselves to be what you really are: Facists.

I read your rebuttal to my email. I never heard any report, whether it be from Fox (which I watch regularly) or from the New York Times (which I have read infrequently) that we would snap our fingers and poof Iraq would be a strong, first world country. There is a lot more we are accomplishing than just freeing the "oil". As for your claims that we aided Iraq, I can only say that without some cold, hard facts and not vague statements like we sold weather satellites to Saddam so he could gas Kurds, It just doesn't carry any credibility. I do not doubt that Americans are kept in the dark about a lot of things, but selling weapons of mass destruction to a potential threat like Iraq is just crazy out there. I would like to know what you would do in Pakistan if and when Islamic-fundamentalist come to power and have nuclear capabilities. If diplomacy doesn't work, if the U.N. doesn't work again, then what? When is it ok to use our military power, knowing that lives are on the line? I would say that a regime like that would need to be kept on a short leash. Liberals, I guess that is not you, would say if they nuke a city here- we deserve it -- come on. As far as attacking your character, I didn't, I attacked your artwork. As an artist you probably need to come to terms that your artwork will evoke a reaction in people, both good and bad. And that people do associate you with your artwork. Showing soldiers running in greedily to get the oil is offensive to the soldiers whose lives are on the line, because so much more is truly at stake. The fact that you served does not exempt from getting criticism about that. I am certain some soldiers would laugh, most have too much to worry about to care, but the ones who do look at it and think about it would and are offended, including the seven veterans I work with.

For the last time, none of these posters mock the men and women in uniform. How is it that people are so stupid that they can't look beyond the image and understand the message?
Look, let's just get to the point. GOD is WHITE, o.k.? He love's his white children and wants them to be happy. He created the world for them to have dominion over. Christ is white, God is white. America was made for the white man. The heathen Indians got in the way. We removed them. They aren't people because they don't believe in our white Lord. We got the black man to build the country. We can treat him how we feel because our bible says so. Those damn foreigners messed up overseas so we went to war to teach them a lesson. They aren't people because they don't believe in our white Lord. Now the damn Muslims are getting in our way so we have to deal with them. They don't believe in our white Lord so they are as good as dead in my book - it's in the bible....the white MAN can do what they want, when they want, to who they want. Period.

Just quit trying to take us down with you by taking the limits off government control. Just remember, a government that has the power to give you everything you need also has the power to take it all away. A government cannot make a population equitably successful, they can only equalize misery. You sound like the Germans pre-wwII. I suppose you have an oven for the likes of me, huh?

I think you are a talented artist if you have actually created these posters, but it's very unfortunate that you have fallen victim to the liberal propaganda. It is not unpatriotic to question authority at all and people should not follow blindly, but you don't seem to see that you are blindly following the radical liberal left's lead. I doubt very much if you protested President Clinton when he lobbed over 500 cruise missiles into Afghanistan, Iraq and Yugoslavia killing countless innocent with no real plan other than trying to divert public attention away from his affairs with Monica and his impeachment. It makes me sick that people and the media will do anything to block another parties ideas, policies and Judicial nominations. I am not a Republican, but I am an independent that does lean to the right. I have to say that if the man for the job was a democrat I would vote for him. I actually feel bad for you and people like you that you have been sucked in to this cheap shotting war against the Republican party when people should be united against the people causing such misery around the world with terrorism. Instead of doing that though people like you would rather block any political victory for the Republicans no matter how much good it might do for the people like the new Medicare package offered by the President that would actually help older people with prescription costs. The Democrats are against only because they didn't get it done eventhough it has been one of their bullshit platforms for 30 years. If the Republicans get it done the Democrats will look like horses asses and it will help Pres. Bush get re-elected. That's the only reason the Dems are against it. If they can't benefit from it go against it no matter how many people it helps! You know in WW2 there was a voluntary, I repeat, VOLUNTARY censorship at the request of the dept of defense to help protect our troops and our plans to win the war. Unfortunately, the press today, which is mostly liberal(or should I say "progressive". The new code word for liberals because most of America can't stand them and their devisiveness) doesn't have the dignity or the courage to do something like that today. It doesn't matter that soldiers and civilians are getting killed as long as we can use it against the republicans right? In closing all I have to say is that I wrote you this because of how outspoken you are about President Bush and the war. Why don't you do a poster of a bumbling, disgraceful, sorry excuse for a President that was Bill Clinton? He is the real reason the innocent people in the trade towers died on 911. He was offered Osama bin Laden multiple times and always refused even after he admitted to being responsible for the first trade towers bombing in 1992, the bombing of the U.S. embassy in Africa and the bombing of the U.S.S. Cole all under Clinton's watch!!! My friend you are being used and have fallen for lies and propaganda from the liberals and it is a shame because you can't even see it!

Hello, I was wondering if you could address some concerns of mine regarding your posters: (1) Anti-logging posters on wood pulp paper. (2) Anti-oil posters printed with oil based ink. (3) Anti-corporation posters sold on a system that provides profit for a few major corporations. (4) Anti-logging posters on wood pulp paper. Thanks for your time:
Nov 22, 2003 - Mark
(1) My complaints about logging are almost entirely restricted to the lumber industry bribing Congress & the White House into building roads into taxpayer-owned forests for FREE and then allowing said Lumber Industry to decimate and clear-cut public forests for FREE while the Lumber Industry takes all the profits for themselves leaving the taxpayers with a forest of stumps. Forestry on privately owned land is their own business, on Federal Land, it's OUR business. I'm also not keen on Bush opportunistically using massive fires in California (which were HIS fault, as he refused to send Gray Davis a mere $146 million to cut down the dead beetle-chewed trees which eventually became the fuel for the Massive fires which did over $1.5 BILLION in damage -- all because GW wanted to help out Arnold's gubernatorial run).
(2) Blah blah. Who says I'm against oil? I refuse to allow YOU to dictate MY position. I'm against oil companies setting foreign policy. I'm against Halliburton being granted an exclusive grant to all of Iraq's oil and a Presidential Pardon in advance for any and all crimes extending from the pumping of said oil from drilling to pump. I'm against real soldiers dying in their Hummers so that American Yuppies can play soldier in their Hummer 2's getting 8 mpg. I'm NOT a neo-luddite who thinks oil is evil and unnecessary.
(3) Again, thanks for putting words in my mouth. I'm not anti-corporation, I'm against Corporate Crime. By your attacks on me, it seems that you must be FOR Corporate Crime. In fact, you should be investigated to see how much Corporate Crime you have carried out. See how easy this game is?
(4) Oh, see, and I thought you were on a roll, too...
Wow! Your sick! Look around, your lost. Get a life. Let me understand… Bush is evil and bad, but Sadamm and socialism, no comment? Find something real to complain about. Bush would kick your ass! Lol Say it to his face! Say this to my face PUNK. Some day you will face the real God. What will you say to him?? Hope you come up with something more convincing by then! Best of luck and get bent!

Although there has been many jobs lost since Bush Took office its just the downfall of all the 1990s bubble. I mean the so called great economy was created out of thin air. What i also mean as an example were all the DOT COMS. What joke that was. It was perception. Yes jobs were available but were due to that perception. Clinton is just to blame for job loss. NAFTA GATT etc..., Yeah he knew alot more but there all the same. Just pick your poison.

I just wrote a complimentary note to you about your Doc Payne series. Then I went to the home page of your web site to see what else you might be working on. I was disappointed to see that you are spending so much time creating reworked propaganda posters that denigrate the efforts of the military whose job it is to make this country secure. One of your posters has a U.S. bayonet stabbing a Bible with the phrase "No more wars for religion.". What are you implying here? That the U.S. went to war to spread Christianity? Islamic extremists declared war on the U.S., remember? They've bombed the U.S. And U.S. interests for years culminating in the Sept. 11 attacks. There are men and women out there who are risking their lives to defend this country and the way of life we have that allows you to be tucked safely away in California making your cartoon shows. It seems like you might be a little more supportive of those who are trying to defeat those extremists out there who want to destroy America and who will, if left alone, eventually acquire more chemical, biological and/or nuclear weapons that they would certainly use against us. I don't think your posters are funny and I won't be going out of my way to support any of your future projects.

Knee-jerk reactions are almost always funny to view, in hindsight. Whether it's the rabid, frothing at the mouth that some have emailed you, or your posters, it's funny. And, a little sad.
I may be way off base here, but the primary purpose of your "Dear Traitor!" page would appear to be to make fun of anyone who doesn't share your view. Is it your intention to teach "thinking for yourself" through ridicule? My experience with this approach has been that the only things learned are to keep your opinions to yourself and tow the party line. You might "think" for yourself, but you will have learned, through the ridicule, not to act on what you believe. Or worse, you'll act before you think (like some of the email authors appear to have). I don't know what your political affiliation is, but this feels a lot like an extreme liberal point of view. You know, "All views are valid, unless they contradict mine". You've made a pointed effort to highlight misspellings and grammatical errors in these opposing views. The issues aren't addressed, the presentation is. That's a smoke screen. This "I'll make fun of you until you agree with me or go away", is a variation on the "I'll threaten you until you agree with me or go away" tactic you claim the current administration is bludgeoning America with.
At any rate, I've wandered from my original purpose. In (or is that "On") your poster "Let Me Do The Negotiating", the tag line reads "All war represents a failure of diplomacy". Some might argue that some wars have been fought without any pretence at diplomacy, or that any diplomacy utilized was pretence. Therefore, since diplomacy wasn't used (or was used as a smokescreen), it could hardly have failed. I'm not going to use that argument (though, with all the reference to WWII, Neville Chamberlain comes to mind), I mention it only to provide another point of view. War isn't a failure of diplomacy, it's a logical extension of it. Some of the support for this argument isn't original with me, but I agree with the reasoning. All diplomats operate on credit. This credit provides the opening platform whereby diplomats first engage in "give and take" discussions and can be in the form of a "carrot" (aid or trade of some sort) or a "stick" (sanctions or possible military actions) or a combination. After all, if a country doesn't have anything you want or need and doesn't offer any threat, why not let them go their own way and your go yours? Diplomats should state their positions and maneuver the discussions to their country's advantage. This may require that some points be agreed on, others conceded to and some points that may not be negotiable. (The idea that "everything is negotiable" is a polite fiction. Certainly, everything can be discussed, but some issues, like national sovereignty, are not negotiable.) At some point in diplomat discussions either a resolution is reached or there is an impasse, some point at which neither side will concede or agree upon any further and diplomatic discussions break off. If an impasse is reached, one side may choose to force a resolution and that is where a diplomat's credit will be called on. This is when a war begins, when one side of the diplomatic equation acts unilaterally with the belief that the "stick" portion of their opposite's credit will not been called on or that it can be neutralized. Using the theme of some of your posters as an example, Al Qaeda appears to have believed that there would be no US response, or one that world opinion would have neutralized, to their actions. In fairness, their diplomatic discussions appear to have been limited to Anti-American rants, with none of the "give and take" that traditional discussions have involved, but it was present prior to 9/11. Their diplomats painted themselves into a corner and called on our credit."All war represents a failure of diplomacy". It's short, simple, powerful, slick and suffers from the same things that afflicts a lot of catch phrases: it's just plain wrong and it's sloppy thinking. War isn't failed diplomacy, it's the ultimate escalation of diplomatic pressure. You may be wondering why I nitpicked that one item from your website. Well, I thought by now you would have heard about almost everything else, from almost everyone else and I wanted to give you another point of view. Also, while I don't agree with your opinions and am frankly disgusted by the presentation of some of them, they are, after all, your opinions. I'm not prepared to say that anyone's opinions are wrong as regards points of fact. I'll argue what opinions are based on all day, but not the opinions themselves. However, I'll almost always point out sloppy thinking. In my opinion, it's almost as bad as not thinking for yourself at all. ;)

The quote you're grasping for is "War is the continuation of state policy by other means." - Karl Von Clauswitz, 1833. For those who can't understand why the world might have changed for the better since 1833 (such as George W. Bush), this is a swell quote to live your life by. Many historians now consider Von Clausewitz a narrow-minded, brutal apostle of pitiless, aggressive, "Total War"; a saber-rattling Prussian militarist who worshipped Napoleon and understood warfare only through the Napoleonic lens; the intellectual whose ideas were directly responsible for the pointless carnage of World War I; and a theorist whose ideas are obsolete, irrelevant, and actively dangerous. But hey, Henry Kissinger thinks he's great, so he's gotta be a great guy. We SHOULD base our entire international diplomatic structure on a man born before the invention of nuclear weapons... that way we can get to Von Clausewitz's ideal "Total War" all the faster with the push of a big red nuclear button.
As for this drivel: "The primary purpose of your "Dear Traitor!" page would appear to be to make fun of anyone who doesn't share your view. Is it your intention to teach "thinking for yourself" through ridicule? ... You've made a pointed effort to highlight misspellings and grammatical errors in these opposing views. The issues aren't addressed, the presentation is." -- uh, no. Read the disclaimer at the top of the page again: all typos, errors, odd word choices, logic leaps, ad hominym attacks, homophobia, and delusions quoted verbatim. I make no special efforts to ridicule anyone. Their spelling, logic and grammar errors speak for themselves. As for me not addressing their arguments, well, let's take a look at the next letter in order to see why I generally don't bother...
Burn in hell you liberal faggot! The day you die is a better day for our nation and if you don't like what is going on here then move to France where pacifist pussies are the everyday norm!

Why didn't you use your poster making skills to incite Iraqis to overthrow Saddams evil regime? You live in America, protected by those you mock. Like a college kid who graduated but still lives in his parents basement and and leeches off his parents money, all the while spiteful and ungrateful, so are you, living in the land of freedom of speech and peace yet not appreciating it. Your art sickens me. Truth and bravery and courage comes in many forms, but not one that is found in your shameful works.

By creating such provocative exaggerations and presenting fictionalized premonitions of what will happen in the future as if they were facts, you actually do exactly the equivalent of what you accuse the Bush administration of doing. One day, years from now, when Bush's two terms and other Republicans have come and gone, I hope somebody sternly challenges you "where is the totalitarian security state?" just as you liberals now question Bush "where are the WMDs in Iraq?" Even if you have valid points, unless you stick to the facts (its the _Department_ of H.S. btw...) and discuss rational scenarios, you won't convince anybody new to your side, and no matter how many "brainless-stoner-hippees" who actually believe your fantasy tales there are, you will never be taken seriously by people who would change things. Be careful that you aren't so caught up with resisting authority that you resist even when it happens to be in the right, putting you in the wrong. It is not fair for anybody, including yourself, to treat your vision of the world as the objective truth. In the real world, people in power are not really like Mr. Burns. I am sure you mean well, but Bush does too. Never forget that the people who bash you and support him have the same freedom of speech you do.

I'm going to respond to Philip, because many of the complaints he makes are commonly made in my hate mail and I'd like to clarify a few points. Here we go:
Philip, I see from your letter that you believe that Bush will earn a second term and that an unbroken line of Republicans will follow him. You had better hope so, beause if you think that opportunistic Democrats aren't completely willing to use Bush's nascent police state powers to persecute THEIR enemies, you're sorely mistaken. Imagine for a moment President Hilary Clinton or President Howard Dean throwing YOU into Camp X-Ray... it's not such a thrill now, is it?
As for your comment that I need to stick to my facts, well, I do. Your prime example is not a mistake at all -- I pretend that these posters come from the MINISTRY of Homeland Security, to point out that such an arm of our Government is extremely Foreign to our society and form of Authority. We should not aspire to be Soviet Russia where they had a Komitet Gosudarstvennoy Bezopasnosti (KGB) to spy on our own citizens. Know what KGB translates as? The Committee of Homeland Security! Why don't you ask yourself why America needs a KGB, and then tell me just how safe George Bush has made us.
Incidentally, you seem to have missed the ENTIRE point of the webpage... Propaganda is all around us at all times... by using fiercely pro-American propaganda of the 1940s and twisting its message into one of repression, the page serves as an object lesson in how to decode such rah-rah pro America propaganda as we see coming from Fox News. The page is a warning of things to come, not a literal interpretation of what might be happening today. Forewarned is forearmed and all that, you see.
The goal of the artist is to be provocative... and my posters are deliberately so. Many of them go far beyond my personal feelings on the subjects therein. For instance, it's not like I believe that Bush is hauling innocent people off of the streets and sending them to secret military prisons in foreign countries where our government is using torture as a interrogation tool or anything like that... oh, wait, HE IS. Yeah, I can see how you could be unalarmed by a government which has essentially suspended Habeus Corpus, the right to a speedy trial, the right to an attorney and the right to know the charges against you and the right not to be subjected to cruel & unusual punishment such as torture. Oh, I suppose it's okay to do that to those people... after all, they're just immigrants, not citizens. Then again, how long before that prevailing attitude comes to rest on American citizens as well? If we're willing to put up with Police State tactics when used on legal immigrants among us, why should anyone give a care if they're eventually used against us as well?
As for not resisting Authority that happens to be in the right, you point some out to me that is and I'll consider it. And as for "Never forget that the people who bash you and support [Bush] have the same freedom of speech as you do," well, of course they do. That's what the Hate Mail page is here for... to provide the counterpoint to the arguments insinuated on my webpage. Isn't it a pity that these comments all seem to be so infantile?

As a Warrior for this country for the past 18 years I would just like to say FUCK YOU ASSHOLE!

I disagree completely with your politics, but that is some of the best art and social commentary I have seen in years. I plan to purchase your book and lots of coffee mugs (for my neutered, liberal friends - that's redundant). Keep up the good work!

Just horrid. I wish you could go live in another country and see how lucky we are in America. I've spent many years in Europe and some months in the Middle East, and it educated me beyond belief. I think you are trying to make money and incite people, and your art is the lowest of the low. I support our soldiers 100%. You may say you are the other half of America's free speech spectrum, but I think you are a complete and total turd with eyes. I Oct 13, 2003 - Aaron
You know whats funny. You do not respond to this mail because you cannot. What could you possibly say to defend your reasoning. I think your opinions are sick, twisted and an insult to anyone who has fought and died for this great nation. It is people like you that take this countries blanket of freedom for granted and would rather run and kiss ass than defend it. Now I can sit here and call you every name in the book, but I wont because thats exactly what you want me to do. So you can sit back and make me (a conservative republican) look like an uncivilized animal (as you do to most of your hate-mail responders sadly to say). Thats exactly how stereotypes start and I will not help you deface my party. I think Bush is a wonderful compassionate man and a thousand times better than any president you people could ever summen up. We all know what happens when circus clowns take over the white house. What were their names, the Clintons? Anyway write me when you find a UFO or bigfoot.Bye bye.Oh yeah wasnt it my party that freed the slaves? It was republicans that voted for the civil rights bill against the democrates. But I guess there are bad apples in every bunch (democrate and republican). You blame job loss on Bush though. Look at everything that has happened since he has been in office, the whole world around us has gone to shit and its not because of him. After all if we're not gonna be the global police who will?
