FROM 2012 INTO 2013 POLITICS THREAD

I'm sure there are some who feel that way. Then you have the Republicans who are still desperately trying to justify their faith in George. W. Bush.

 

Carlin was a genius at social punditry.
And Maher couldn't carry his jock.


But, anyway, since I posted the Maher thing:

 

And somehow, we'll be seen as racist if he's not immediately placed on Mount Rushmore.

 

Oh, I agree that Maher is nowhere near Carlin's level. I was just being honest, hoping that perhaps someday fart boy, dedw and tony will learn from my example.

fart boy accused me of being an admirer a comic who was anti-religion. I was correcting him, but sticking to the truth. It is certainly fair to say Carlin was anti-religion and I've never made any secret of my admiration for him.

Fart boy just doesn't seem to understand the difference between the role of a comedian and a the role of a world leader, which would explain a lot.

 

Case in point about the dishonesty of some of the regular posters on this thread.

 

Oop, it's cool, I don't think much of your critical thinking skills, either.
But I find you less loathesome than many of my trolls and agitators.
So I'll do the dance with you. Just keep time and pick up the pace.
Maher is a hater, simply. It goes beyond his being unfunny.
He's a bigot and a mysogynist and intellectually incurious.
He does atheism or liberalism no favors - not even Chris Hitchins Lite.
Just a dim bulb all the way around.
Dimmer even than you.

 

Maher hates on Liberals plenty, too. Just not as much as Conservatives, mostly because he is so strongly anti-religion.

But that's not the point. You compared my admiration for a certain comedian to your admiration of a world leader, as if those are the same type of person and should be held to similar standards. It's a lousy comparison, not that I expect better from you.

 

You little pipsqueak.
I've got to stop dealing with mental defectives on this site.
You're not even fun to debate.

 

Wow, OOP! So you got that going for you, which is nice!

Talk about a back-handed compliment.

 

Not many...I don't see a ton of people arguing the merits of George Bush's eight-year mess...nowhere near as many who still defend everything Obama does come hell or high water.

 

I see plenty of them, including some on this very thread, but you would figure there would be more people defending the current president.

 

A citizenry that sits back and permits this kind of tyranny deserves everything that happens to it.

Let's look at the checklist here.
The IRS sends refund checks:

Awesome job. Yes We Can.
