Jim Carrey: Democrats Should 'Say Yes to Socialism,' 'Stop Apologizing'
MRC News Busters ^ | September 8, 2018 2:47 PM EDT | Brad Wilmouth

On Friday's Real Time show on HBO, liberal host Bill Maher and actor Jim Carrey celebrated recent Democratic candidates running on far-left platforms and identifying themselves as "socialists," leading Carrey to proclaim: "We have to say yes to socialism -- to the word and everything. We have to stop apologizing."

As Maher turned the discussion to the midterm elections and the successful primary campaigns of candidates like Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, the liberal comedian rejoiced that Democrats are moving to the far left on issues:

And they did it with unabashed liberal proposals -- Medicare for all, ending student debt, a different approach to the war on terror, ending mass incarceration. It seems like if there is a -- maybe shining spot in this Trump tragedy, it's that it's made the Democrats sort of rediscover who they are.
A bit later, he lamented that Democrats have not not done a good enough job of countering Republicans complaining that they are running on a "socialist" platform.

Carrey soon referred to his childhood in Canada and spoke in favor of socialism:

I grew up in Canada, okay, we have socialized medicine. And I'm here to tell you that this bullshit line that you get on all of the political shows from people is that it's a failure - the system is a failure in Canada. It is not a failure, and I never waited for anything in my life. I chose my own doctors. My mother never paid for a prescription -- it was fantastic.

And I just got back from Vancouver, and I keep hearing, "Canadians are so nice -- Canadians are so nice." They can be nice because they have health care --

The left has no intention of apologizing for enslaving you.

To say you have a claim to my property is to say you have a claim to the labor I performed to obtain it. To say you have a claim to my labor is to say that I am your slave.

“Most people agree that slavery is immoral. But what makes it so? Slavery denies a person the right to use his property (body) and the fruits of his labor the way he sees fit. Slavery forcibly uses one person to serve the purposes of another. Tragically, most Americans, including blacks, whose ancestors have suffered from gross property right violations, think it quite proper that one person be forcibly used to serve the purposes of another.” - Walter E. Williams

Jim Carrey even made a movie about “Liar, Liar”.

Probably his best work in a whole raft of questionable roles. C-class actor doing C-grade movies.

“Bruce Almighty” shows what happens when mortals are given the powers of a deity. They make jackasses look smart.

That home is ridiculous. There is room there for at least 20 families. Share it Jimmie for the greater good of the people and the revolution.

“My wife needs a simple pulmonary function test and its a 3.5 monthly wait here in Ontario.”

Contrast that to my wife here in USA, unfortunately just diagnosed with terminal cancer, has had 4-5 imaging studies in 2.5 weeks (depending on how you count them), including the expensive PET Scan.

I see he now has a manly fade haircut. That's because a couple of weeks ago, there was a long piece published about him in Hollyweird Reporter or some such rag, in which he was pictured with long hair around his shoulders, and comment after comment said he looked like an old woman and even wondered if he is transitioning.

He has admitted to emotional illness. He really needs to get that fixed before "sharing" his TDS with the rest of the human community.

That's horrible. I only had a 6 week wait with the Veterans Hospital for a PFT and my wife on Medicare had a 2 week wait at the local Hospital.

Ask Liam Neeson how that worked out for his wife. Oops that right she isn't around anymore, my bad.

... and another actor joins my ‘pay no money to see’ list! Given that I go to the movie theater once in a blue moon, I still will avoid putting money into the pockets of these feckless LEFTists.

Jim Carrey had some thoughts on his future in hollywood very recently, deciding to open up about his situation.

I was able to use one of my cell phone apps to record Jim Carrey’s thoughts for 9 minutes 27 seconds.

Only all he said over and over was “please don’t blacklist me”.
