Comedian Lewis Black Wants Cruz-Palin Ticket
Talk Radio News Service ^ | April 14, 2014 | Ed Zuckerman

Lewis Black injected a bit of his signature brand of humor into the current political discourse on Monday, calling socialism “enforced Christianity” and telling anyone that calls Obama a socialist that “you’ve got to be out of your goddamn mind.”

The comedian, playwright and Daily Show fixture, speaking at the National Press Club in Washington DC, went on to lampoon Republican attacks on the federal government and the role they ascribe to “entrepreneurs” in the American economy.

“To say it’s all going to come from the private sector is truly psychotic,” Black said.

Asked about his preferred candidates for the 2016 election, Black paused before settling on a Ted Cruz and Sarah Palin ticket.

It wouldn’t be fun to live through but “I could sell out stadiums,” Black said.

Reflecting on his time doing USO shows for American troops in Iraq and Afghanistan, Black said America has a “big bill coming from the military” after the two wars. “You’re gonna have to pay up.”

“If every American sacrificed 10 percent” of what American troops have in Iraq and Afghanistan,” Black said, “We would have no problems in this country today.”

“To say it’s all going to come from the private sector is truly psychotic,” Black said.

Of course it comes from the private sector you moron. The Government does not make money except that which it prints. .
All the money te Government has it takes from the private sector!

Someone needs to set the record for this poor misguided man. . .

For it is written, As I live, saith the Lord, every knee shall bow to me, and every tongue shall confess to God. Romans 14:11

He’s right. Zero is a Communist. He’d have to move to the right to be a Socialist. Boehner and McConnell are Socialists.

From the article: “To say it’s all going to come from the private sector is truly psychotic."

Other than selling tickets to visit the Lincoln Memorial, how do these lie-berals believe that ANTHING spent by government comes from anywhere other than the private sector?

Oh, wait,...I forgot about the government printing presses! That must be what they have in mind as a non-private sector source of funds. What morons liberals are.

I can turn his words around on him by simply saying “To say it’s all going to come from a government program is truly psychotic.”

If view of us is false while the above is correct.

He hates traditional Americans ... just like all the other liberal elites. I’m not surprised.

Lewis Black is a typical liberal Jew: Too stupid for his own good; the type that disarmed when facing the likes of Hitler.

uuhhh... huh? What? She hasn’t held elective office for... 4 years? 5? Ted has been in the arena, taking the slings and arrows. Sarah’s been giving speeches for big money, starring in a reality show, and endorsing candidates. How is that “pulling the heavy weight”??

Fame rots the mind especially if it was rotten when you were nothing.
