The voice of reason

Postby Dukasaur on Sat Jun 09, 2018 1:12 pm



America's voice of reason in fine form. While the 1% Party stays focused on how to keep the working man from getting any share of the cookies in the jar and goes from win to win, liberals obsess about political correctness horseshit and go from loss to loss. Time to wake up.

You know, Bill Maher is the so called "1%". The dude is worth $100 million, has a salary of $10 million a year and you think he speaks for the "working man"?

Har!

Delusion, it's a hell of a drug. Bill Maher is a sack of shit. He's got you conned over good, though.

It is not easy to be optimistic that truth will prevail. Everyone has been scared, especially Americans who have witnessed the utter destruction of the civil liberties guaranteed by the US Constitution. Americans know that as a people they are powerless in the face of the evil that is Washington. The police/warfare state has Americans on the run. If they do not turn and fight, they will lose the truth and become the slaves that the ruling elite intends them to be, along with the Europeans, British, Canadians, Venezuelans, Ecuadorans, Australians, Brazilians, Japanese, Koreans, and even Russians and Chinese. Yes, the arrogance of “American exceptionalism” goes that far.

There's nobody I agree with 100%, but Bill is probably as close as it gets. I think I agree with over 90% of what he says.

I wouldn't go that far, but I do like the guy and his team of writers. Much of what he reads from script is sharp, and his delivery is very polished, as you'd expect from a pro. I'd be tempted to trust him too.

I'm not sure he's a comedian on his television show. I think he's a political pundit who happens to make jokes and curse on his show. If there's a measurement of comedian vs. political pundit, Maher sits on the political pundit side compared to someone like Jon Stewart.

Maher definitely leans towards the pundit side in his act compared to Jon Stewart, who leaned more towards taking the persona of a comedian and satirist. I think Jon Stewart was sharper for it though, especially because it allowed him to criticise the pundits too.

I do miss Jon Stewart. His various replacements (Colbert, Noah, Bee, etc.) don't really hold a candle to him.

Yeah- he's a tough act to follow. Some of the others do part of his act as well, or even better, but none have the full package yet, and none are quite so serious about it. Certainly not Bill Maher though.
