Bankers Giveth ... and Bankers Taketh Away, 11-15-08
Ray Hanania's World Comic Strips

The Congress gave the Banking industry the first $85 billion in relief of $700 billion promised. They asked the banks to ease the suffering on homeowners, those in foreclosure. How will the banks respond to the losses they expect to suffer? With the usual greed. Raising credit card interest rates by 3 percent.

In the end, the banks will actually make more money.

The New Frontier -- and threat of an American Nightmare











Click comic to view larger image
Ray Hanania's World Comic Strip Oct. 27, 2008
Rightwing hate-mongering and hate-speech can change hopes for "The New Frontier" to the New American Nightmare.

Reports say that the FBI has captured a handful of extremists who planned to assassinate Barack Obama. The hatemongering from the extreme right like Ann Coulter, Sean Hannity, Don Wade (well, Don Wade isn't too bad -- but I'm afraid his blood pressure is getting too high and he needs to chill) and others are feeding into the extremists and creating an environment where a tragedy threatens.

McCain on the USS Liberty -- Why not answer John?



Click comic strip to view larger image
Ray Hanania's World Oct. 16, 2008
John McCain won't answer to his father's misconduct during the June 8, 1967 attack by Israel against the U.S.S. Liberty which killed 34 American soldiers. Admiral McCain, Sen. John mcCain's father, intervened and prevented American forces from protecting the ship when it was attacked. In a second attack, the Israeli torpedo boats killed 24 of the 34 Americans who died on that ship, and that second attack could have been prevented if Admiral McCain had intervened. But who cares about American soldiers when the issue is tied to America's relationship to the government of Israel?

Senator McCain also endorsed a propaganda book written by a pro-Israeli fanatic who claimed -- contrary to all evidence and the statements of witnesses and historical records -- that the Israeli attack was an mistake and not intentional.

Senator McCain, you owe the families of those American soldiers who were killed by Israel on June 8, 1967, and the survivors and their families, an explanation. Stop trying to protect your father.

"And on that path to freedom, Harriet Tubman had one piece of advice.
If you hear the dogs, keep going. If you see the torches in the woods, keep
going. If they're shouting after you, keep going. Don't ever stop. Keep
going. If you want a taste of freedom, keep going. Even in the darkest of
moments, ordinary Americans have found the faith to keep going.
I've seen it in you. I've seen it in our teachers and firefighters, nurses and police
officers, small business owners and union workers, the men and women of our
military — you always keep going.

"We are Americans. We're not big on quitting."

Budget Shell Game in Orland Park -- the tax rebate is "intact"



















Click comic strip to view larger image
Ray Hanania's World Comic Strips
July 30, 2008
Village of Orland Park says that it did not cut ANY services in bridging a $4.8 million budget shortfall -- right! -- and the media and village say that the Property Tax Rebate in the village is "intact" -- but it is changed dramatically and residents are being cheated out of 40 percent of the rebate ... which will be cut from $200 to $133. Most residents received more than $200 and that means you will get even more taken back by the village, which is a backdoor property tax increase.

You can't claim they saved you money and cut taxes by rebating, and then claim it's not an increase when they trim back the rebate. Too bad the local media doesn't open it's eyes more and see the truth of the shell game McLaughlin and the Village Board are playing. But residents all over Orland Park DO see the shell game and are upset about it.

Mayor McLaughlin, Trustees Kathy Fenton, Jim Dodge, Brad O'Halloran, Bernard Murphy, Pat Gira, Ed Schussler.

Cook County Board Commissioner Tony Peraica tries to repeal the oppressive Todd Stroger Sales Tax, but is hammered by hypocrite members of the board who flip-flopped on the tax issue for their personal political needs. (Commissioner Suffredin is dead wrong on this issue, although he has taken the appropriate pro-taxpayer stand on other issues. We agree with Peraica's assessment that Suffredin is being a hypocrite on the sales tax issues.)
