The People's Cube - Political Satire

UPDATED: See Pinkie's amazing story in the comments below.


Annoyed by untrainable Americans who resist the progressive push for a governmental takeover of healthcare, Organizing for Action sent out a Friday email blast touting a new bumper sticker mocking the Tea Party, titled "Don't Tread on My Obamacare, comrade."

"Show your comrades you're proud of health care reform," OFA's site headline reads.

"This is for every comrade who's tired of hearing the counter-revolutionaries talk smack about our socialist health care that is helping millions of Americans become dependent on government handouts," executive director Jon Carson said in OFA's email release.

"Americans worked hard to preserve their stupid Constitution. We've spent hundreds of millions to brand them as racists. If you're like me, you're pretty proud of that. Wanna brag about it and rub their noses in it? Simply connect with OFA on Facebook today and tell us where to send your sticker, so we can add you to our enormous mailing list, as well as several databases for our gargantuan data-mining centers."


This design is based on the OFA original:


It appears that the Left is now trying to parody right-wing memes, which is new. Previously they were in the offence, pro-actively generating one absurdity after another, to which our side only defensively reacted with mockery. This time it is they who are reacting to us with a defensive stance. Does this mean they feel they're losing to our offence? Is there a shift in the paradigm somewhere?

That doesn't mean, of course, that we can't mock their mockery. A thread of comments on Twitchy already has a few:

Why progs shouldn't rephrase conservative memes.

I hope to publish a new book very soon absolving my rodent cousins of blame for an unfortunate historical event. It should "nudge" a few reluctant youth in the korrekt direction.

In the event someone actually sees this most rare bumper sticker please take a photog of it. My humble guess is any vehicle sporting that is owned by someone that doesn't even have Obamacare but is instead one of its government administrators.

ROTFLMHO best one this week. :D

As a high-ranking Party member, I was proud to place the Don't Tread On My Obamacare bumpersticker on the back of my hybrid Pinkiemobile. I'm always proud to stand up in defense of my government entitlements and all that my government does for me!

But then something horrible happened as I drove downtown to pick up my government check. I glanced up from my texting to see a Prius with a Coexist bumpersticker passing me. All of its occupants gave me the finger and cussed me out!

At first I thought they objected to my texting while driving—but I had to post my current status to Facebook before it was no longer current. But then I thought I heard one of the Prius occupants say something really offensive to me. I yanked my MP3 earbuds out of my ears and rolled down my window. “What did you say?”

“Teabagger!” they all chorused. “You have one of those teabagger bumpstickers on your car! You're one of those tea-rroists! Bomb-thrower! Hostage-taker! Hater! Denier!”

“No, that bumpersticker isn't what you think at all!” I cried. “If you only took a closer look at it—” I couldn't believe I was saying that. Take a closer look at something? That's like reading a bill before it's passed to see what's in it. Or even vetting a Party candidate's background or qualifications. Now even I was starting to have doubts about my shiny new bumpersticker. Sure it poked fun at those idiot teabagger extremists—but because of its resemblance to their own stupid agitprop, I was being mistaken for one of them by several of my own!

Even as I had that dreadful epiphany, the Prius occupants proceeded to mistake me for a conservative woman: “You're nothing but a slut! Bitch! C*nt!”

At least they didn't call me bossy. I might've had to make a U-turn right there and go back home where I would spend the rest of the day, if not my life, curled up at the bottom of my parents' dark basement crying over the loss of my self-esteem and the prospect of ever amounting to anything and thinking I might as well be dead as be bossy.

But I couldn't make a U-turn because they were in the left-hand lane. I thought of making a U-turn to the right except that would require me to turn—well, right—and that might provoke them even more, not to mention the fact that on my right was a ditch.

But even as I had that thought, they rammed their Prius into my Pinkiemobile, driving me right into—yep, you guessed it—that ditch!

“Reichwinger!” they yelled as their Prius rolled after me. “Just like a teabagging Rethuglican—into the ditch and you take everyone with you!”

Eventually they realized their mistake, and they've joined me in a class action lawsuit against the Tea Party since their stupid Gadsden Flag and threats to tread on my Obamacare is what caused this. As for injuries sustained when we went into the ditch, all I can say is at least we're all signed up for Obamacare.

At least.

At least.

And do not forget to sue everyone involved in maintenance of road (contractors, suppliers, state dept. of transportation, etc.) for not putting up signs telling people not to drive into ditches. Very lucrative class action suits abound.


This isn't as preposterous as it sounds. One of my friends once presided over a case in which a woman had stupidly leaned backward while taking heavy boxes off a shelf at the top of a ladder. Of course she fell and was injured. So she sued because there were no warning labels on the ladder about leaning back from the steps while holding heavy objects over one's head. And since the ladder was so old that the manufacturer's name had become illegible, she sued all ladder manufacturers generically. After all, no ladders could be found with such warning signs, so all must be guilty.

Perhaps you lousy commie rats should tell Obama not to tread on your Obamacare.

Obamacare is like a ugly snout-nosed vicious little rabid opossum from hell, trapped and snarling at all the voters on the freeway of time before elections, and Obama's been running over and over the thing forwards and back with his Mac truck of executive orders till the stupid beast is so squished with tread marks it's going to take Nancy Pelosi levels of botox if it's ever again going to resemble a living thing.

But, Obamacare doesn't cover botox.

Koch brothers.

Koch brothers, Koch brothers, Koch brothers, Koch brothers.

There, I said it! They're behind it.

The Koch brothers. Koch brothers, Koch brothers, Koch brothers.

They went that-a-way!

On a recent stop at 'National Screw and Bolt foundry #59' Dear Leader was overheard saying "Is this the biggest one you have? There are a lot of the common heard, plebes, citizenry that need deserve this screwing service my administration is providing."

Oh, look! Dear Leader's sleeves are rolled up - a little. He must have just finished showing those peasants how to weld stainless steel. Good of HIM to so willingly share his knowledge.

I liked someone's slogan over at Moonbattery

Don't tread on my infringement of your liberty!
