He’d be cancelled simply for saying Question Authority!
I have a bumper sticker on my car which says exactly that. It’s been there for about 8 years now. Truthfully though, I’ve been questioning authority since I was in high school 50 years ago. I was one of those “mean girls” simply for asking questions, I guess. Everything back then had a different meaning than it does in today’s world, I guess. In my day the mean girls would have just been called bitches!

Thanks Sundance! A profound and poignant reminder of the state we are in!
With what seems like an avalanche of world events occurring almost hourly, hope everyone is keeping track of what is happening behind the curtains.
Except he was coming at things from the left. What would he be saying now? He called Bush illegitimate — based on what evidence? What would he say about 2020? I think he’d be bashing Rudy Gulianni
Doesnt mean we shouldn’t watch him. We should, just to copy his comic technique
Rush always said that to be funny it had to contain the truth. If you can still laugh have a good one and keep in mind that a broken clock is right 2times a day.
Based on the fore/ bush election with bushes brother governor of the state where the votes were the issue.. HOWEVER, gore lost his own freaking home state !
Bush participated in Bush v Gore which was, IMHO crrating a crises, in order to exploit it, to makeca change the Big Club WANTED to make (computerised voting) but could not “sell” to the American people, otherwise.
Neithe Bush nor Gore were “legitimate” both were chosen, to be avatar Presidents.
“Politicians give the illusion that WE have a choice.”
Plus Papa Bush was head of the CIA. Could have pulled strings to give his son the presidency.
It was ALWAYS statistically suspicious that the entire election came down to a few votes in one county in Florida — as if the votes are that evenly divided among the millions of people in this country.
Dimm/commies were contesting FL’s electoral votes by only recounting 2-3 counties in the state….they just happened to lean heavily Left….if the state election process was that flawed then why not count the ENTIRE state again?
What’s old is new again.
Im pretty sure Carlin would be against all/everything today.
Sure, he’d hate Trump, but he’d hate the hell out of Biden too.
And all the stuff he’d been ranting/making money about for 30 years
Has crystallized into the now.
Im more on board with Carlin than any current politician. (Except PDJT)
Corpse of Carlin for President!
Agreed. He is in the category of virtually EVERY Rock Star I admire. I admire their musical talent, but loathe their predictable (and always SAFE) political views. They don’t even realize that the songs they wrote in the 60’s, 70’s and beyond actually bespeak the exact REVERSE of their original intent. Virtually every Pink Floyd song and radical lyrics by Roger Waters … a raging leftist FOOL … apply to HIM now. HE and his ilk are the “mommy” government who will “keep baby safe and warm”. But Roger is too stuck-in to his anti-right wing reactionary habits to recognize the hypocrisy of his political beliefs
Those kids in the Freedom Convoy protests knew exactly what was happening and loved it ! Same look was on their faces as on my kids’ when we protested against being in Viet Nam back in the day.

If he were alive today, I wonder if he would have stood by his principals or, as many in his position, sold out to the radical left.
Think he likes the Bushes? I read encyclopedias as a child and when you do that it provides so much information that you eventually run across contradictions, and you learn to keep a suspicious eye on things.
The catholic high school I attended actually taught a class “religions of the world” and in it they suggested that when you turn 15 or 18 or whatever, you should learn this stuff and make up your own mind. Again, question authority.
And finally my wife asks “why do you have to question everything I do?” Authority?
I remember having access to an encyclopedia set that was a gift to my family from grandpa. I also had access to my mother’s college level textbooks on organic chemistry and geology, that I remember reading parts of at least once.
Suffice to say, I was reading at a highly advanced level even before I got to high school. I just remember those years being profoundly bored as the public school system did not have a challenging curriculum. I was passed over for some reason when it came to inclusion into a sort of gifted and talented program that they had then as well.
I was a latchkey kid whose parents divorced when I was age 6. I ended up attending 8 different elementary schools !! Bounced all over Northern CA. Yeah, my childhood was very shitty. Even to the point where my own mother petitioned the court to surrender her sole custody of her two boys. Yes, the courts (my own mother) gave us back to our alcoholic father that they had banned from custody 3 years earlier. All because my mother’s new husband didn’t want kids anymore. And my brother and I were MODEL children. Not a damn thing wrong with either of us.
So, I spent many hours thumbing through every book and encyclopedia I could find … usually in the local library. No, I wasn’t an introverted indoor geek … but I have always been keenly interested in learning stuff. Now … today’s kids should be learning even MORE than I ever could. Because they have the sum total of mankind’s knowledge at the fingertips. Funny thing … kids are getting DUMBER … not SMARTER.
I grew up near dirt poor with 6 siblings. We had enough and got by with so small effort on our parent’s part.
All of that knowledge readily accessible through the internet and people make tiktok videos on the stupidest things with inane tweets and social media posts to match.
I forever thank the public High School I attended for offering two fantastic Senior elective courses:
Religion as Literature
Mass Media
In the Religion as Lit. class we learned that virtually every book, and every play by Shakespeare … everything in Western Literature were built upon Biblical principles and cautionary stories. Each book was analyzed for it’s direct references to the Bible. The class essentially TAUGHT the Bible in a secular setting … to kids who would never have darkened the doors of a Church Narthex. (Funny thing … spell check doesn’t recognize the word Narthex). No wonder the wokerati want to cancel Western Literature.
In the Mass Media class … all advertisements and newspaper articles were analyzed for their deception and deceptive practices. The instructor was brilliant, and opened our eyes to just how we are being LIED TO … daily.
The same Instructor taught both classes. I believe the classes went away when he retired. Now … I receive the daily bulletins from my old High School (I still live in my hometown, and my kids attended the same school) … and now the school virtue signals its DEI credentials (and yes, they have hired a DEI consultant) despite being 95% white and Asian (read: white-adjacent). My old HIGHLY Nationally RANKED HS has gone from teaching TRUTH and KNOWLEDGE to teaching FEELINGS and virtue-signaling. They are teaching their white and Asian students to HATE themselves.
Now … by contrast … my city is having a “public (zoom) conversation” about the city’s DEIB … yes DEIB … Diversity, Equity, Inclusion … and “Belonging”. My city is an upper, upper, middle class community. DEIB? AYFKM? Anyone who lives in my town of 25k people is by definition PRIVILEGED! I have no idea what my city is talking about. It doesn’t matter what color your skin is in my town … if you can afford to live here .. you’ve MADE IT. This FAKE victimization is so absurd … it’s hard to comprehend.

In Russia and China young kids study math, game theory, and play chess and sports. In America young kids study CRT and pronouns while their Moms complain about sports. Who do you think is better prepared to win?
The air is so bad in big Chinese cities that outdoor exercise is perhaps not the best choice, and people know it.
China did go unleaded gas years ago, and the decision was implemented quickly, so that was a plus. The tai qi and other exercise is often in the very early morning, when the air is a little fresher.
A lot of people still burn high-sulfer coal for cooking and heating. Some of the coal dust is pressed into large donut shapes for fuel, but this is becoming less common, fortunately.
Two cycle car engines (burning oil and gas mixture) are still common, and are big polluters. On the upside there are few motorcycles (two or four stroke) because (I think) the riders were getting killed off quickly.
Chinese typically are not big walkers, although the old people like to take their birds (in cages) out for walks (liu niao). This too is less often seen.
Kids long ago abandoned “go” for the internet and games, and they eat a vast amount of instant noodles, which is obviously not good as a steady diet, and there is a childhood obesity problem, lije many places.

When American leftists regarded themselves as revolutionaries (the sixties?) they revered the challenging of authority. The cast of Saturday Night built their enormous careers on mocking the Republican Presidents Nixon and Ford. Gerald Ford slipped on an airplane’s steps (as Biden and Hillary often have) and Chevy Chase built his reputation as a comic genius by mocking this event.
Now? After Hillary lost in 2016, SNL cast member Kate McKinnon appeared on the show singing a dirge of tribute to Hillary and weeping, literally weeping. It was hilarious, but it was not meant to be.
The Left most definitely no longer reveres the challenging of authority. Shortly before his downfall, the host of Meet the Press, David Gregory, was caught by Rush Limbaugh referring to the Democrats as America’s “Major Party”. These freudian slips reveal that American leftists are now fascists, who most definitely worship power, and want to live in an authoritarian one-party State. Success.
In the 60’s, the government was spying, entraping, lying, and infiltrating student groups on college campuses with the stated goal of creating false flag events that could be used to sway public opinion and support while discrediting the students opposition to the war and authority in general.
Only the names of the targets of the government have changed.
Not the tactics.

A National Treasure.
Want to teach children to question…wait till they learn colors, then point to a color they know is red and tell them it’s blue. Watching them process is priceless. You know they’re on track when they refuse to believe red is blue.
I do the school runs with three of my grands. One can get a lot said between the time they get in the car and when they get out. And believe me, I’ve said a lot while they are captive listeners in a moving car.
Their first lesson was “Question Everything.” That one was a few years ago.
Now? It is “Believe Nothing.” Do your own research but start from the premise that everything you’re taught is a lie. I’m with George on this. God bless him. A truth teller if ever there was one. I am doing my bit. They are listening.
For God has not given you/us a spirit of fear, but of power, love and a sound mind. 2 Timothy 1:7
God is calling us to stand and take authority over the enemy. We stand from a position of power! If God is for us, who can be against us? Holy Spirit is pouring out and a great revival and harvest is upon us.
Be strong, be bold, be blessed♥️
If you were serious, my two cents: It’s great that you’ve been able to be paranoid because NOW you are questioning everything. When you first realize everything is a big fat lie, it’s very depressing and shocking. But, after you push through the shock, you come out the other side empowered. Because you’ve faced the Enemy (lies and deceptions) and have gained Wisdom. You can discern the liars from the truth tellers. It’s really amazing to go through the process.
Carlin was profane, indeed. I guess if you wanted a clean Carlin, there is always Thomas the Train. Profanity was the way he made his tough messages approachable for adults. He did raise issues, and his messages were poignant. He was a leftist while I was a Bush supporter. Whose position was worse?
I saw Geo Burns in his 90s. While not profane, his innuendo was certainly dirty. Oscar Wilde not so tidy. Betty White, risqué. Bob Sagat, gross. Sam Kinnison profane and loud. Bob Hope could sure mix it up. Chappelle and Murphy, potty mouths for sure. Message and delivery are distinct, but the brave ones tackle tough subjects the less brave laugh at the mundanity of life.
Carlin as National treasure, debatable, cultural icon for sure-for better or worse. Carlin’s best sets seem to be aging well. Far better than the bit I saw in person “bat sh-t, rat sh-t, dirty old tw-t, sixty nine a-holes tied in a knot, hooray, liver sh-t f-ck”. Though the purpose of that profane juvenile bit was to challenge censorship-they are just words. That seems relevant now-just use “ivermectin” and see what happens on Facebook.

Putin calling Ukrainian opposition Neo Nazis is a damn brilliant tactic… in my opinion…
I vaguely remember that Ukraine collaborated with the German Nazi regime back during WWII when I was a child. I haven’t looked up any info on the net. Quest for survival makes people do all kinds of things.
Well, he wasn’t dead on about everything. He was an athiest who regularly mocked Christians and the concept of belief in God.
Carlin was a comic genius. He could be very funny. But he could also be infuriating and deeply offensive.

Reminds me, I have a 2 CD set of Carlin. Let my kids listen to it when they were in their early teens. They are now 30 and 28, time to break it out again.
Which is why the Nation if splitting. All the racist BS, white privilege BS, BLM BS, CRT BS, Biden BS, illegal immigration BS, the clean energy BS, the tranny BS, the inflation BS, et al. Trump was clearing away all the bullshit, and the bull shitters (Dems & GEPe) didn’t like that. Well, it’s too late. The ball of bullshit is unwinding quickly.
“George Carlin (RIP).” Yes, I made it my business to see him “one last time.”
Funny thing how fate sometimes works. “Tom Petty,” and “Prince.” (RIP … RIP … RIP …) I didn’t anticipate either of them …

“Every great cause begins as a movement, becomes a business, and eventually degenerates into a racket.” Bullshit is just the result of having to justify and sustain a racket. This is why accepting what your eyes see over the narrative you are told is so important.
This is a consequence of unchanging human nature. The reason things degenerate into a racket is that people who yearn for power and the means to inflict themselves upon others will gravitate towards institutions and movements which give them the opportunity to do so. Those institutions and philosophies that permit the greatest opportunity are the most targeted.
This changes over time. Right now, if you want sanction for unlimited fascism and tyranny, that would be the left (as exemplified by Herbert Marcuse) in politics and Islam in religion. Both grant full license and support for any action no matter how illegal or immoral as long as it is directed against those who oppose them.
And unfortunately for George Carlin, “comedians” as a part of the Hollywood/entertainment racket, have been the greatest source of bullshit in history. A primary target of Gramsci’s takeover of the institutions.

If I didn’t question authority at first it is because: I expect those in authority to tell the truth. I expect those in authority to be honest. That is why they have authority. Not a single person of authority can I trust now but my expectations have not changed. And I’m becoming ashamed, not that I trusted but of what those with authority have done to me, my rep as an American.
Maybe I’ll see things differently after some grieving . MAG
Grief is a necessary process.
I never looked at our “Leaders” as Authority figures. I looked at them as “hired help”. They apparently think they are Leaders with Authority.

Funny guy, always liked him but I think he would have got vaxxed, worn a mask and made fun of ‘anti-vaxxers’ and vax disinformation. I don’t think he’d go against all of Hollywood, and the left media and politicians. Sorry just my gut feel, we’ll never know.

I can only imagine what George would have to say today!
Unfortunately, Carlin missed just how cunning and clever the entire Bush family actually was.
They used the 2000 election to help the uni-party introduce early and mail in voting, features that were never needed for 200 years. The Bush v. Gore fight was a show.
They used 911 to construct the surveillance state that strangles us today.
I don’t blame anyone for missing those conspiracies 20 years ago, but a condescending brow-beating, Know it all, like Carlin is just going to be held to a higher standard. He stuck with the cheap laughs about non-lefties being stupid.
He must have never been taught as a child to question anything about the left.
Okie Doke
Yep.
George Carlin would be cancelled today.
On Big Tech-controlled social media, yes.
On alternative social media – of which there are several and soon to be one more – he’d have 200M+ followers, easily.
He would be the ultimate Trigger Master
And he wouldn’t give a rat’s pitoot.
He would refuse to be canceled…..they tried it but he bested them…
Tipper and AL Gore….George won….too bad we don’t have him today
He would prolly suicide himself
He would be demonetized in a heartbeat … which he essentially predicted with 100% accuracy
He’d be cancelled simply for saying Question Authority!
I have a bumper sticker on my car which says exactly that. It’s been there for about 8 years now. Truthfully though, I’ve been questioning authority since I was in high school 50 years ago.

“They pound it into the heads of kids because they know kids are unable to form a sophisticated argument against anything.”
One of many things Carlin gets right.
Except he was coming at things from the left. What would he be saying now? He called Bush illegitimate — based on what evidence? What would he say about 2020? I think he’d be bashing Rudy Gulianni
Doesnt mean we shouldn’t watch him. We should, just to copy his comic technique
Carlin was an old-school anarchist, which means a leftist.
The Left questioned authority before it didn’t.
The Left questioned authority until it became authority.
Haha when it becomes their authority no more questions.
Respect my authoritah!
The authority science is settled
The left questions authority unless they are the authorities, then it’s shut up and follow the science.
Rush always said that to be funny it had to contain the truth. If you can still laugh have a good one and keep in mind that a broken clock is right 2times a day.
Both left and right can question authority.
When authority sucks, you question it.
Hitchens, Paglia and Orwell also Lefties, but anyone who pursues the truth ends up thinking alike on most important issues.
Based on the fore/ bush election with bushes brother governor of the state where the votes were the issue.. HOWEVER, gore lost his own freaking home state !
I think George would have red pulled by now
Bush participated in Bush v Gore which was, IMHO crrating a crises, in order to exploit it, to makeca change the Big Club WANTED to make (computerised voting) but could not “sell” to the American people, otherwise.
Neithe Bush nor Gore were “legitimate” both were chosen, to be avatar Presidents.
“Politicians give the illusion that WE have a choice.”
Both men were legacies. The Bush family is going for a third round. Hopefully, this will be the year that “The Little Brown One” will be sent packing.
Plus Papa Bush was head of the CIA. Could have pulled strings to give his son the presidency.
It was ALWAYS statistically suspicious that the entire election came down to a few votes in one county in Florida — as if the votes are that evenly divided among the millions of people in this country.
GW was caught on camera saying the Constitution was “just a damn piece of paper”…Spit. He was a POS.
Dimm/commies were contesting FL’s electoral votes by only recounting 2-3 counties in the state….they just happened to lean heavily Left….if the state election process was that flawed then why not count the ENTIRE state again?
I like to think he was anti uniparty and maybe that would make him a Bernie Bro of today, or possibly, he’d have figured out the genius of Trump.
What’s old is new again.

You challenge authority – but not theirs. As with all things the communist racist demoncrats, it’s do as I say, not as I do.
Many of today’s most rabid Democrats were hippies

Want to teach children to question…wait till they learn colors, then point to a color they know is red and tell them it’s blue. Watching them process is priceless. You know they’re on track when they refuse to believe red is blue.
I do the school runs with three of my grands. One can get a lot said between the time they get in the car and when they get out. And believe me, I’ve said a lot while they are captive listeners in a moving car.
Their first lesson was “Question Everything.” That one was a few years ago.
Now? It is “Believe Nothing.” Do your own research but start from the premise that everything you’re taught is a lie. I’m with George on this. God bless him. A truth teller if ever there was one. I am doing my bit. They are listening.
Remind them to read. Grandpa always ask the grandkids, What are you reading?
By the way Sundance, My grandfather sure would have appreciated reading all your articles.
That lesson has been covered.
Well for God’s sake don’t turn them into relativists. That is a deadly trap..
I am turning them into critical thinkers. And, incidentally, they know who George is and quite enjoy his videos. Guess who introduced them.

Sundance your making me paranoid!
For God has not given you/us a spirit of fear, but of power, love and a sound mind. 2 Timothy 1:7
God is calling us to stand and take authority over the enemy. We stand from a position of power! If God is for us, who can be against us? Holy Spirit is pouring out and a great revival and harvest is upon us.
Be strong, be bold, be blessed♥️
GOOD!
If you were serious, my two cents: It’s great that you’ve been able to be paranoid because NOW you are questioning everything. When you first realize everything is a big fat lie, it’s very depressing and shocking. But, after you push through the shock, you come out the other side empowered. Because you’ve faced the Enemy (lies and deceptions) and have gained Wisdom. You can discern the liars from the truth tellers. It’s really amazing to go through the process.
The Tree Pill is the best!
Amazing that he saw what so many others didn’t. Genius.
George Carlin….a National Treasure
Really, Mike? Hardly! We’ve had great American orators and humorists, Carlin ain’t in their club. Our culture is in the sewer, this doesn’t help.
It helps folks realize they are in the sewer.
Only then can they climb out.
Carlin was profane, indeed. I guess if you wanted a clean Carlin, there is always Thomas the Train. Profanity was the way he made his tough messages approachable for adults. He did raise issues, and his messages were poignant. He was a leftist while I was a Bush supporter. Whose position was worse?
I saw Geo Burns in his 90s. While not profane, his innuendo was certainly dirty. Oscar Wilde not so tidy. Betty White, risqué. Bob Sagat, gross. Sam Kinnison profane and loud. Bob Hope could sure mix it up. Chappelle and Murphy, potty mouths for sure. Message and delivery are distinct, but the brave ones tackle tough subjects the less brave laugh at the mundanity of life.
Carlin as National treasure, debatable, cultural icon for sure-for better or worse. Carlin’s best sets seem to be aging well. Far better than the bit I saw in person “bat sh-t, rat sh-t, dirty old tw-t, sixty nine a-holes tied in a knot, hooray, liver sh-t f-ck”. Though the purpose of that profane juvenile bit was to challenge censorship-they are just words. That seems relevant now-just use “ivermectin” and see what happens on Facebook.
Hmm, something interesting is perhaps coming. I recall a mention to a big event people would find likeable.
Barbra bush😂
I love me some anti-authoritarian pep talks from Carlin.
George Carlin…a man whose time has come…but sadly he is not with us anymore….and THAT is a tragedy.
I had the pleasure to see George Carlin live in concert in the mid 1980s. Three hour long concert … gut splitting funny. I have never laughed so hard and for so long of a period in my life.
Putin calling Ukrainian opposition Neo Nazis is a damn brilliant tactic… in my opinion…
Well, there is plenty of not Putin sourced info to support that they ARE, in fact NAZI’s.
But, lets not let facts get in the way of narratives,…and you know FEELINGS.
I vaguely remember that Ukraine collaborated with the German Nazi regime back during WWII when I was a child. I haven’t looked up any info on the net. Quest for survival makes people do all kinds of things.
God Bless Carlin.
So dead on everything!!
Now for some intermission music!!

Well, he wasn’t dead on about everything. He was an athiest who regularly mocked Christians and the concept of belief in God.
Carlin was a comic genius. He could be very funny. But he could also be infuriating and deeply offensive.
Love George Carlin – he spoke truth. Watching re-runs of the Ed Sullivan show, and he was on there a lot. He would be cancelled today.
Reminds me, I have a 2 CD set of Carlin. Let my kids listen to it when they were in their early teens. They are now 30 and 28, time to break it out again.
“When will Jesus bring the pork chops” is a funny book written by Carlin. Not for those who’s feelings are easily hurt though.
LOL, you just reminded me that I have that in my bookcase.
“Bullshit is the glue that binds us as a Nation”
Ain’t that the truth?
Which is why the Nation if splitting. All the racist BS, white privilege BS, BLM BS, CRT BS, Biden BS, illegal immigration BS, the clean energy BS, the tranny BS, the inflation BS, et al. Trump was clearing away all the bullshit, and the bull shitters (Dems & GEPe) didn’t like that. Well, it’s too late. The ball of bullshit is unwinding quickly.
Yes, it is
He was way ahead of the curve in describing the despicable bush family.
I know he was a socialist but truth is we need more entertainers who can think independently and tell others to do the same.
While not an American, Russel Brand seems to be doing just that. I don’t agree with a lot of political stances, but he’s worth a listen to.
Nazis and their not-sees. From the sign of the guy Zot’s Charlotte interviewed on the Canadian freeway.
Wow! That’s the most gigantic red pill I’ve seen in a while. The real red pill – not the fake ones.
.
He was such a genius.
.
He was a genius, yes.
He could be very insightful and very funny.
But he was also a card-carrying atheist with contempt for those who believed in God.
.
Which does not make what he said in these videos false.
True and raw george lives on eternally
I wonder how he would react if he had to live through the complete insanity that exists that.
He would approve. All the cancel culture, give up rights for health safety, and all that jazz, he would just chime in and approve.
No way
“George Carlin (RIP).” Yes, I made it my business to see him “one last time.”
Funny thing how fate sometimes works. “Tom Petty,” and “Prince.” (RIP … RIP … RIP …) I didn’t anticipate either of them …
“Every great cause begins as a movement, becomes a business, and eventually degenerates into a racket.” Bullshit is just the result of having to justify and sustain a racket. This is why accepting what your eyes see over the narrative you are told is so important.
This is a consequence of unchanging human nature. The reason things degenerate into a racket is that people who yearn for power and the means to inflict themselves upon others will gravitate towards institutions and movements which give them the opportunity to do so. Those institutions and philosophies that permit the greatest opportunity are the most targeted.
This changes over time. Right now, if you want sanction for unlimited fascism and tyranny, that would be the left (as exemplified by Herbert Marcuse) in politics and Islam in religion. Both grant full license and support for any action no matter how illegal or immoral as long as it is directed against those who oppose them.
And unfortunately for George Carlin, “comedians” as a part of the Hollywood/entertainment racket, have been the greatest source of bullshit in history. A primary target of Gramsci’s takeover of the institutions.
If I didn’t question authority at first it is because: I expect those in authority to tell the truth. I expect those in authority to be honest. That is why they have authority. Not a single person of authority can I trust now but my expectations have not changed. And I’m becoming ashamed, not that I trusted but of what those with authority have done to me, my rep as an American.
Maybe I’ll see things differently after some grieving . MAG
Grief is a necessary process.
I never looked at our “Leaders” as Authority figures. I looked at them as “hired help”. They apparently think they are Leaders with Authority.
Hollywood then…
Retired Magistrate here: Isn’t that what Obama said all the time: “Okie Doke”?
Thank you Sundance & Team.
Pretty Bird!!!
Funny guy, always liked him but I think he would have got vaxxed, worn a mask and made fun of ‘anti-vaxxers’ and vax disinformation. I don’t think he’d go against all of Hollywood, and the left media and politicians. Sorry just my gut feel, we’ll never know.
I’m not so sure on that… 😉
“George Carlin – Germs, Immune System”
You may be right. Thanks.
My exact thought! When I heard him my progressive parents liked him, Disney, Flip Wilson…
My mother wanted me to read the local news paper and thank God, I had no interest in reading at the time! ; )
Okie dokie.
Carlin was leftest. I think he would attack the culture of the “leftest” of today. He might cancelled…can’t argue with his thoughts expressed in the video.
You gotta trust authority. Just days before the SOTU (State of the Usurper) the Science has changed! I do believe.
It’s a big club and they know how to wield it.
I can only imagine what George would have to say today!
Stage is set . . . where are we going?
Yes,
waiting…
Unfortunately, Carlin missed just how cunning and clever the entire Bush family actually was.
They used the 2000 election to help the uni-party introduce early and mail in voting, features that were never needed for 200 years. The Bush v. Gore fight was a show.
They used 911 to construct the surveillance state that strangles us today.
I don’t blame anyone for missing those conspiracies 20 years ago, but a condescending brow-beating, Know it all, like Carlin is just going to be held to a higher standard. He stuck with the cheap laughs about non-lefties being stupid.
He must have never been taught as a child to question anything about the left.
okey wokey
