I don’t watch Larry King much and I’m not a big fan of Bill Maher but I saw this short video of Bill once again talking about the American people and just felt the need to share it. I have a completely different view of people. I believe people are fully capable of making their own choices about safety, business, finances, family matters, schooling, healthcare, spiritual and/or religious choices and a whole host of other things. Bill Maher believes that the American people are “animals” who are simply looking for someone to follow.
In my experience in dealing with people…they simply want to be left alone to live out their lives as freely as possible. Most of the folks that I am in communication with acknowledge the need for a government…but only a very limited government. Anyhow…watch the video and see for yourself. I know he is a comedian but he doesn’t give any indication that he is just trying to be funny here. This isn’t the first time he has said these types of things either.
Bruce,
He needs people to be followers so they will follow HIM & believe everything he says. We all know better.
Thanks for the share,

I like this post. Bill is simply an employee of the system which wanted this bill pushed. You”re right, he wasn’t being funny. He is no different than Michael Moore. He is packaged as someone “outside” the system but clearly is very much part of it.
If people like Bill Maher and Michael Moore were not part of the system, they wouldn’t be supported by the very media/government system they say they are a part of.
BTW-I don’t subscribe to the fake left/right paradigm. It’s a charade. Exactly like a football game with the same teams playing.
If you choose Pepsi or Coke, it doesn’t matter. You still get cola…
Glenn…I agree completely! Bill and Michael are simply cogs in the media machine. They are by no means independent thinkers or doers. They simply spew their elitist views (held by many in the media club) wherever and whenever they can. They all get big pats on the back by each other and they wonder why us “little people” don’t get their so-thought “superior” ways of thinking. And…I also agree about the right/left sentiment. There is a continuum where government involvement and control is the basis rather than some notion of right and left as we so often define it today. I don’t care what you call yourself…if you want to take my God-given freedoms away from me, I’m going to have a problem with that. I am happy to support anyone who desires a limited government that subjects itself to the natural laws that are so very evident to anyone willing to open their eyes. Thanks for taking part in the discussion!
