Tuesday Great Aunt Blogging: The Return of the Democratic Wars

I look a week off from Great Aunt blogging last week due to my recuperation from "minor" surgery. By the way, surgery is never "minor" when they cut you open, slice muscle and otherwise goof with yer inerds.

Anyway, items from the scrapbook of my 1950s wingnut Great Aunt who I never knew are back this week. This time we revisit the popular notion of Democrat Wars. That is, in the long and well-documented tradition of Republican non-sequitur smears that continue even today, the Democrats in the early 1950s were to blame by the opposition for WWI (Wilson), WWII (Roosevelt) and Korea (Truman). I previously posted another cartoon that was a little more blatant but this one also makes it clear the Dems love a good, and presumably unnecessary war. That in addition to their love of taxes.

If only those Dems of yesteryear knew what we know now; you can start a war and reduce taxes all at the same time! Just put it on the Deficit One credit card. The kids will pick up the tab, don't worry.
