George was a genius - he saw clearly and enabled others to see clearly.

Unfortunately, it tore him apart inside.

God Bless you, George, you gave your all for the truth.

He did have a way of perfectly explaining the ills of society, didn’t he?

Political correctness is morality that comes from man and not God, and is just as flawed and evil just below the surface.

Remember Al Capp & Little Abner?

He was also way ahead of his time and saw all this coming.

The ‘Shmoos’ were the ‘do nothing’ class reward

Sadie Hawkins was modern feminism

And, WE THE PEOPLE, are under the spell of Joe Btfsplk

Of course, Moonbeam McSwine and Daisy Mae were perfect!!!

Carlin was way ahead of his time. Back in the day, saying such things got you branded as a conspiracy nutcase or worse, but now our faces are rubbed in it daily.

Multiple heart attacks. And you can see as he got older, his delivery got angrier and angrier. I saw him live near the end, and he basically screamed his entire act in rage at the audience. The guy was so accurate and funny, we laughed through the whole thing, but wow was it intense. I think seeing everything so clearly screwed up, eventually killed him.

He was also a city dweller who had no use for country folk or Christians. He loathed Israel and the Catholic church.Although he was funny, he was a first class asshole with no regard for anyone but himself.

Let go and let God. I believe Carlin was an atheist. He was so angry at all of the things wrong in the world, and the heartlessness and horror of it, that he rejected God - at least with his mind. IMO, however, God looks at the heart, and his heart was full of care for people. I pray he's in a good place now, he brought a lot of relief to millions of people for a long time, and warned about great dangers.

Carlin gave up on God when he was young. He had seen little “heartlessness and horror” at that point. He was more interested in drugs, drink and fame. Just because Carlin sometimes spoke the truth doesn’t change the fact he was a life long liberal Democrat.

You say “his heart was full of care for people”. Based on what? He was substantially no different than other Hollywood liberals. I’m not saying he had no care for people - everyone knows he adored his first wife, for instance. In the end, he died a shriveled up, angry man, who accomplished much for stand up comedy and next to nothing for the human race. How ironic it would be if he was upset at the political correctness that his dirtbag, hippie generation help usher in.

Notice how the Youtube poster put up GW Bush’s pic when “stupid” was mentioned?
