President Ma famously said that Taiwan would be fortunate to elect a non-Taiwan Province president…

Therefore, if China produced a non-Han ethnicity leader, it would definitely be fortunate, too…

For example, a Mongolian, or maybe, for example, how about electing Rebiya or the Dalai Lama…

The sexes are equal.  Men and women have the same dignity, the same rights.

The same right to participate in government, the same right to education, the same right to work…

And the same right to harm their bodies?

Join in the demonstration against ECFA. Express your dissatisfaction, write what you’re feeling.

Sign: A real referendum by the people vs. having secret dealings between the KMT and CCP

Sign: Pay attention to our sovereignty

Sign: Oppose one-China (policy), have a referendum

I can’t write poetry, and I’m no good at writing. I can only simply write down my true feelings!

Sign: Oppose “cutting off your balls to trade for a chicken leg” (i.e., it’s not worth the trade)

So true!

When the Greens are power, freedom of speech is 100 percent…

Human rights are heaven-sent, so what are you bragging about? When the Greens were in power, we also completely supported freedom of speech!

As long as your Greens are in power, we guarantee 100-percent support for freedom of speech.

Even 200 percent, or 300 percent…

We are all the descendants of Yan and Huang, so we should be unified.

Bullcrap! A big part of Taiwanese blood is from aborigines and plains peoples…

All humankind is descended from Adam, so shouldn’t all of humankind be unified?

Academics know that all humans are originally from Africa…

so I think that all of humankind should unify under the political control of Africa…

Mr. Ma has no spirit, no heart…his support has hit rock bottom, and he has no hope of having a second term…

Our Party understands completely the dissatisfaction and warnings from the people.

Our Party has fallen on hard times, and we have to work hard to remake…

To remake a god

DPP Chairwoman Cai said that the ROC is a government in exile!

Bullshit!

How can a government that is working so hard to surrender be called a government-in-exile?

Chairwoman Cai is actually making the ROC government out to look good.

We drew nine horses on our wall.

I wrote an essay called “The Brilliant and Great President Ma”…

I published an advertisement wishing him great success in governing this coming year.

I hung President Ma’s picture over my bed.

I…

Crap! I’m the only one who hasn’t said anything…

Oh, I’ve got it!

President Ma is humble by nature, and does things in a low-key way, and the thing he hates most is people like you who flatter him [note: Mandarin = “patt the horse’s butt”] and kiss his butt.

President Ma has been in office for two years, and the People are full of hope!

Taiwan has suffered for two years, and has two more years left…

Before the next election, the bastard* will certainly transform himself, and love Taiwan again for six months…so really Taiwan just has to suffer through another year and a half…

President Ma has been in office for two years, and the People are full of hope!

*This is a pun on Ma’s last name and the Mandarin curse ta ma de. The Greens have been using this joke for 2+ years, and it was never really that funny in the first place.

The (Taiwan) Strait problem is an internal affair of China…

The nation’s internal affairs absolutely cannot allow foreign countries to interfere!

Life, freedom, human rights, self-determination…are the internal affairs of the people of the whole world…

The internal affairs of the world’s human family absolutely cannot allow the infernal interference of the CCP’s dictatorship, oppression, and violence.
