Bill Maher mocks Middle Americans as 'less affluent and educated--they want to be us'
foxnews.com ^ | 2/24/19 | Paulina Dedaj, Fox News

Posted on 02/25/2019 5:54:25 AM PST by Liz

Bill Maher derided Middle Americans in red states as envious of their blue-state counterparts.....Maher blamed Amazon's Bezos for pitting wealthy cities against one another in a battle over the next Amazon headquarters, while ignoring states that would benefit most from thousands of new jobs......after the deal NYC deal fell through.

“We have a problem in America called spatial geographic inequality which means the most affluent and educated people are clustered in just a few cities,” he said. He said there are “two Americas” .....states that historically vote Democratic vs ones that skew Republican.

“We have orchestras and theaters districts and world-class shopping. We have Chef Wolfgang Puck, they have Chef Boyardee. The blue parts are having a big prosperity party while the big sea of red feels like their invitation got lost in the mail -- and they still use the mail.”

The comedian went on to say. “The fly-over states have become the passed-over states, that’s why red state voters are so pissed off. They don’t hate us, they want to be us.”

Bill, regarding Red States vs Blue States as the subject pertains to your latest mouthings, I can’t see how you can be more WRONG, to wit:

1. The top states that are completely and utterly bankrupt are ALL “Blue” states.

2. The states with the highest murder rates are ALL “Blue” states. My neighborhood is “Red” and I don’t think we’ve ever had a murder (70 years).

3. There’s never been a case of human excrement on the streets/sidewalks in my nearby cities that I have ever heard of.

4. My guess is that Blue States kill more babies than Red states.

5. Call U Haul. They will tell you that 3/4 of their truck rentals in your Blue State are for people wanting to get the hell out of there. I personally know two people that escaped your bankrupt state (California).

6. Bill, I could go on and on. Your just a loud mouth incoherent SOB...…………...running his mouth and intentionally oblivious to the facts which makes you a fraud on the people dumb enough, or hapless enough, to listen to you.

If I had a mind to
I wouldn’t wanna think like you
And if I had a time to
I wouldn’t wanna talk to you

I don’t care
What you do
I wouldn’t want to be like you

If I was high class
I wouldn’t need a buck to pass
And if I was a fall guy
I wouldn’t need no alibi

I don’t care
What you do
I wouldn’t want to be like you

Back on the bottom line
Diggin’ for a lousy dime
If I hit a mother lode
I’d cover anything that showed

I don’t care
What you do
I wouldn’t want to be like you

San Francisco has homeless sleeping and dedicating in the streets, people living in expensive condos creep around the homeless hoping not to step in a pile. Yep I sure do envy that! Other Amercan cities are headed n that direction also. Sorry Bill, in my opinion you got, literally, the sh@tty end of the stick.

I reside in The People’s Reupublic of New York. I have received a very good education( most of it beyond enemy lines). I most certainly would not and never wished wished to be a moron, like that Maher clown or his followers. The Progressives always claim to be highly educated! The more schools you attend, the more degrees you receive, makes you dumber apparently!

I pity Bill Maher and those like him.

Why? I don't! I hope that the SOB rots in hell!

As Billy defines the fly-over people as ignorant and uneducated, a lot of them will declare 'doubleplusgood' and continue to watch his pathetic performances.

Would it be wrong for me,a middle class,financially secure (but far from wealthy) resident of a blue state to pray that this elitist punk gets t-boned (at 70 MPH) by an 18 wheeler while driving on I-5 through the Malibu hills?

Yep! We see them like the "High Society" members in "Hunger Games"(The freaks with the colored hair).

We don't want to be you. We want to contain you

Your sickness is ruining our country.

I know someone who was at the Playboy Mansion when Maher was there. The ladies called him “Little Bill”. You can guess why.

We retired from the metropolitan area of Phoenix and moved to rural Florida to raise beef cattle eight years ago. Our friends thought we were crazy.

Best thing we ever did was to get out of the city and move to the country.

Nicer people, less traffic, less crime, no rat race, cleaner air and NO LIBERALS!

Liberals don't want to work on a farm. How icky!

Nobody wants to be less like Bill Maher than I do. Arrogant, cocky, anti-religious, egotistical SOB.

"....less affluent...."? My wife and I are not wealthy but we have no debt at all and have substantial money in the bank. We own a beach house in South Carolina, a lake house here in Florida and our own home on our 30 acre cattle spread. We live very comfortably and don't want for anything.

".... less educated...."? My wife and I both have college degrees. She has degrees in nursing and psychology. I have a degree in business, a masters in hospital administration and a law degree. We are what I would consider as very educated.

We were both officers in the Air Force and we both voted for and still support president Trump.

We are Middle America. And proud of it.

Sounds kind of familiar:

Quotes from "The Russian Revolution" by Alan Moorehead 1958

"… this was a predatory state which the Czar and a small group of noblemen and bureaucrats ruled for their own exclusive benefit...The ruling group owned all the wealth, enjoyed all the privileges and monopolized all the political power, and it did not intend to give up any of its prerogatives. It considered the peasants to be little better than animals..."

I don’t think so. I don’t want to be a pompous, light-in-the-loafers loser who is a low-IQ nitwit and abject fool. No thanks.

Bill Mahar, whenever I see you, I remember this one smart ass, arrogant kid in Junior high school, who had only one friend because you bored the rest of us normal, happy kids. His one friend was even more pathetic and dopey. This dopey kid had no other friends so he was forced to sit with the homely Bill Mahar kid as he spewed his contempt for all of the other kids. That’s what I see, Bill Mahar; you’re the hateful, jealous mediocre 14 year old who managed to build your lonely lunch table, filling it up with dopey losers.
