Democracy Dies in Dumbness (Video)
YouTube ^ | June 17, 2022 | Bill Maher

Posted on 06/18/2022 11:21:06 AM PDT by Boomer

Nothing captures what’s wrong with today’s “journalism” like the sad saga of what happened last week at The Washington Post.


TOPICS: Culture/Society; News/Current Events; Political Humor/Cartoons
KEYWORDS:
Bill Maher is a liberal. An old school liberal. The kind I would disagree with on many things but also find common ground. I miss his breed of liberalism. Wokeness is toxic to any society. It must be purged from ours if we are to have a future as a country. If not then let's get that national divorce started and get it done.

That was excellent, something everyone (left, right, and center) should see and consider.

And, yeah. I know it’s from Bill Maher. He’s a bit on the slimy side. But I’ll give credit where credit is due. Maher hit this one out of the park.

Watch the opening scene of Idiocracy.

When I ask my friends why they’re not yet having kids (very few are), it sounds exactly like the movie.

Hey, maybe we should give incentives to smart people to have kids.

Make them pass a test on American History, the bill of rights, economics, basics like reading writing and arithmetic, etc.

Let them retake the test periodically if they fail, in hopes they will study and educate themselves.

Call it the anti-idiocracy incentive.

The hour is late when Bill Maher starts to make sense.

And I have to admit he’s been making sense a lot recently.

Something I would never have thought possible.

We are not and have never been, A Democracy. We were and are a Republic.

Too bad they stopped teaching civics in high school

The U.S. is a Democratic Constitutional Republic, and Yes, It Matters
