Those papists and their Romish ways

Is this political cartoon from Tony Auth intended to make us long for the days when vigilant citizens sought to keep Catholics in their place and keep them out of power?

One thing is certain: no one could do this sort of propaganda as well as Thomas Nast. Auth's version is . . . toothless, by comparison.

Wow -- the only thing that doesn't change is the avant-garde. That's an impressive juxtaposition of old-again, new-again bigotry you've culled.
