Badges?

Ramirez has been a favorite of mine for a couple of years.  His cartoons cut all sides on all issues. This is on point, a reflection of the crap that Washington is allowing to persist, in hope of securing the future of a stinking political party.  This drawing brings to mind the amusing scene from Blazing Saddles and with a little research helped me learn that that wa actually a parody on another movie moment.

This  from the The Treasure of the Sierra Madre, starring Humphrey Bogart.


"We are the Federales"
"We ain't got no badges."
"We don't need no badges."

"I don't have to show you any stinking badges."
"Why don't you try to be a little more polite?"

This clip shows parallels to current events on a number of planes:
  1. Mexicans refusing to offer identification (re voting)
  2. Attempting to get the American to give up his means of self defense (re UN)
  3. Evil characterizing good as impolite (re political correctness)
