Maher is at the very bottom on our list of positive exceptionalism.
just another excuse for more and bigger government from a freedom hater.
A comedian is supposed to be funny. Maher is anything but
I think a more serious problem is that Bill Maher is considered a sage commenter in some circles.
Maher is another one who should receive absolutely NO news exposure. When he opens his mouth, it is worse than when the collective rectums of this country loosen.
I don’t understand his point. Makes no sense to me.
Bill Maher is an ASS! Why does anyone bother to discuss what this human excement has to say?
Why does nutcase Maher need anything to prove that?
Our society tolerates him.
That's tolerance beyond understanding.
I was in the local burger joint shaking hands and running for local office and some limp wristed little commie in a typical "painters hat" was looking up at the TV and moaning loudly "A sure sign of a sick society!"
I did the politically incorrect thing and proceeded to rimind him that one single sicko will never represent an entire nation unless they're the successor to Stalin, Hitler, Pol Pot, or some other creeple people no matter which nation it happens to be.
Conclusion jumping with emotional broad sweeping generalizations is usually the work of liberals like him to down grade, disgrace and like Obama, deferat the good nature of this exceptional nation!!!
I am going to make an observation on these self-proclaimed "America-haters" that I have not made before. I have often pointed out that the Left in other countries is usually hyper-nationalist and patriotic (defending the Sacred Socialist Motherland against the Foreign Devil) and that the American Left's hatred of its own country is atypical and self-defeating (unless they're intentionally alienating people in the manner of professional wrestling "heels"). But what I am about to say now I don't believe I have said before.
These people are all full of baloney. I don't believe they really mean it. Oh, they run down the country every chance that they get, they root for all its enemies, and they believe in the right to desecrate its emblems. But if they hate the country so much, why do they advocate the continual building of the government of this allegedly "lousy country" to the level of almost omnipotence as the solution to the world's problems?
"Native Americans," Blacks, and Hispanics may regularly damn the USA for "genocide" and slavery. Very well. There's a very easy answer to that. If this country is so bad, if it has caused so much trouble . . . formally disestablish it. Declare the Constitution null and void, agree that the United States of America no longer exists, and let all its peoples go back to their lands of origin. If America's existence is so baleful, logically this would be the best possible solution. But has any America-hater ever even suggested such a thing? Of course not! Their universal spiel is "I hate this lousy country so much that I want to be a Senator!" Is that sane? Does that make the slightest bit of sense?
And if the country is so lousy, why is the country's government the answer to every problem? Why do people who read long laundry lists of the US Government's crimes want to make it bigger? Similarly, why would skeptics of the government's benevolence firearms ownership limited to police and military forces? Is that "dissent?" If it is, I'd hate to see what "agreement" is! "This lousy government has murdered billions of people! Give it all your guns!" Duh. As a matter of fact, doesn't the Left in almost every other country urge the people to arm themselves and make a revolution? Our "Left" certainly has a very funny idea of what a "revolution" is--they want it to be carried out by the FBI! To my mind the only Left in the world other than ours that believes the military is the agent of "revolutionary change" is North Korea.
If "patriotism" were defined as loyalty to a government as opposed to loyalty to a geographical homeland or set of ideals, then the "America-hating" US Left would be the most simple-minded, drum-beating, flag-kissing, jingoistic bunch of super patriots in perhaps the entire world.
A similar hypocrisy is evinced by those loud-mouths who constantly claim to be opposed to "western civilization." Yet where do all their ideas come from? From some illiterate Australian aborigine or pristine Siberian shaman? Of course not! All their ideas come from white western Europeans (most of whom are dead). They are incapable of having a thought that they didn't crib from Voltaire, Rousseau, Hegel, Comte, Darwin, or Marcuse. All the so-called "Black theologians" and self-proclaimed "leaders of the indigenous peoples" are frauds and fakes . . . every single one of them. Their heads are stuffed so full of the ideas of dead Germans that it's a wonder they don't explode. Any noise-maker who claims scientific materialism is the philosophy of "real people" or "sharecroppers" or "the dispossessed" or "the masses" is either insane or a liar . . . scientific materialism is the ideology of THE ELITE and always has been. And not just any elite, but the well-to-do dead white European elite.
Leftism is the "whitest," most "western," and most "European" ideology in the history of the world, and all the "Rigoberta Menchus" in the world cannot change that.
I can hardly think of anyone more unlikable than Maher.
I’d sooner have a drink with the Colorado killer or Mahmood Ahmadinejad.
I’d be happy to have a drink with Maher.
It’s the last drink I would have for about 20 years. Maybe less with good behavior.
Similarly, why would skeptics of the government's benevolence firearms ownership limited to police and military forces?
This should have read:
Similarly, why would skeptics of the government's benevolence want firearms ownership limited to police and military forces?
I apologize for the error, and for its late correction!
