One could better argue it's a Christian message, evil is either wealthy elites who plunder the masses or an evil being bent on destruction, only a man who believes the people remain worth saving is able to save the day.

Also, Limbaugh is an idiot.

Hey, it's from a longrunning series concerning an obscenely wealthy businessman who also commits himself to vigilanteism, with likely illegal equipment, who no longer has to deal with his parents. He beats the crap out of misfits and the mentally ill. Face it, Batman is Texas.
Also, chocobos.

I show solidarity with the Tea Party by drinking more tea.
I show solidarity with Occupy Wall Street by painting my toilet as a police cruiser.

I still say Batman could donate 20 million to inner city education and cut crime by 50% in a heartbeat.

They clearly don't like the language of radical revolutionary violence--but the imagery isn't that of Occupy--it's that of France during the Reign of Terror, the Soviet Union, or Ethiopia under Mengistu. The point is, under the rhetoric of equality and radical change, reside monstrous men of great violence.

Occupy is an inconsequential, ephemeral, clutch of losers and has-beens. They couldn't organize a weekly game of bingo, let alone a reign of terror. I'd love to see them try, though. It would be hilarious.

Because Jacque Fresco, Peter Joseph, the Zeitgeist Movement, several artists, and me are total losers :roll:
Go shovel your stupid shit somewhere else.


Today I learned the Zeitgeist weirdos are what passes for non-losers in the occupy movement. I'm not sure if I should laugh or cry at how pathetic that is. A clutch of antisemitic, conspiracy peddling, utopianist losers is what they are.
