If You're Not a Terrorist, Then Stop Asking Questions (Paperback)

~ (Author)

Editorial Reviews

Product Description

"Micah Wright uses art to shock us into resistance to war. He does this by outrageously juxtaposing the images of 'the good war' with the ugly realities of war in our time." -Howard Zinn

"I still like his pictures." - Kurt Vonnegut

"If You're Not a Terrorist... Then Stop Asking Questions!" is the hilarious follow-up to Micah Ian Wright's hit debut, "You Back The Attack! We'll Bomb Who We Want!"

In "If You're Not a Terrorist..." Wright creates a stellar send-up of the Administration's War at Home. Wright' s ironically "remixed" full-color World War-era propaganda posters combine with critical political commentary to deliver a scabrous take on the State of the Union. Taking aim at corporate corruption, the Bush White House, media bias, Orwellian legislation, embedded reporters, our one-party system, the 2004 presidential elections and jingoistic-super-patriotism, Wright is a sure shot.

Micah Ian Wright is an author who has worked in television, film, videogames and graphic novels. His work has been featured in The New York Times, Sunday Guardian UK, The Washington Post, The Progressive, The Christian Science Monitor and The Boston Globe.

5.0 out of 5 stars A fantastic follow-up, June 2, 2005

By	Dominick West (Enochs, TX USA) - See all my reviews

Humor illustrates tough truths in this new book of propaganda posters from Micah Wright. This time he writes his own accompanying political text instead of relying the Center for Constitutional Research, and the book does not suffer for it... in fact, the text is both informative AND funny. A great book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Right on Target!, January 18, 2006

By	Liquid Todd "liquidtodd" (New York, NY) - See all my reviews

I wish we could get full-size posters of these amazing pages to post all over the country so we could possibly wake up the American public that now is the time to start fighting like hell for our liberties before they are all gone.

When the President of the United States reserves the power to ignore the law, lock up American citizens without cause and deny them due process (indefinitely), torture, eavesdrop on thousands of Americans, break treaties and wage illegal wars at a whim - and the list goes on - we are indeed on the verge of losing our democracy forever. Jefferson said "Information is the currency of democracy" and the secrecy employed by this administration is breathtaking. "Democracy dies behind closed doors" is another quote that comes to mind.

This is not a "tinfoil hat" scenario. This is reality. Get this book for yourself and buy a few copies for your friends and family as well.

I did!

5.0 out of 5 stars masterful political satire, January 2, 2006

By	Gary Morris (Portland, OR USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Wright totally nails the style of the old propaganda posters from World War I and II in these scathing posters. Totally fresh way to point out our increasingly eroding liberties under the present regime.
