Do It Yourself Socialist Unrealism
Socialist propaganda isn't just for journalists anymore. Now you can make your own.

On a tip from Murff.

LIBERAL PATHOGEN (A pathogen is an agent that causes disease like a bacterium or a fungus). And we are about to get infected!

Someone quoted this on Michelle Malkin's comment page--it's from the introduction to C.S. Lewis' The Screwtape Letters.Can't lay my hands on my copy to see if it's right--but it sure does sound good:
"The greatest evil is not now done in those sordid “dens of crime” that Dickens loved to paint. It is not done even in concentration camps and labour camps. In those we see its final result. But it is conceived and ordered (moved, seconded, carried, and minuted) in clean, carpeted, warmed, and well-lighted offices, by quiet men with white collars and cut fingernails and smooth-shaven cheeks who do not need to raise their voice.”

I am going to Kinkos and print off like 50 of these with Arbiet Macht Frei on them.
Then post them around campus

Zomby: Another Lewis quote that fits nanny state Obamunism:
"Of all tyrannies, a tyranny exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It may be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end, for they do so with the approval of their own conscience."
C.S. Lewis

Unfortunately, the field is limited to just a few characters, so I wasn't able to type, 'Put your head between your legs and kiss your sweet @$$ goodbye'

Gee whiz Van, that poster title is supposed to start with a "D" not an "N".
