Oh dear me!:confused: What next? There is no Santa Claus?? Warning: So-called "real American" Palinista types may be offended. Bill effectively points out the absurdity of some of the criticism directed at Obama for merely coming clean on some obvious facts. Instead of being seen as a refreshing change over our previous pig-headed administration, Obama is blasted for acknowledging some of our mistakes thereby somehow weakening our standing.:roll: It's a great article, but here is another warning-it's also hilarious.

I think to counter Bill Maher's idiotic evaluation of everything Conservative, I'll start posting all of Ron Hart's columns. Makes just as much sense.

Bill Maher: New Rule: No Shame in Being the Sorry Party

well written....america is so self centered as to believe we can load up our military in a moments notice, occupy countries, and produce vague rationalizations and shifting goals as to the reason for our own militancy. we are virtually the only country projecting power through visions of our infallibility. apologizing for past transgressions is a hallmark of cultural civility, not weakness. unless, of course you believe your own b...sh.t when folks start waving the flags and talking about thugs on the other side of the world. where are all the self righteous slobs who were hootin' and hollerin' on the way to baghdad? those cowards are gone, and they're busy making sure healthcare is for the shrinking few.

wow, this was hilarious and so right (sorry for the pun) on! yes, america is a wonderful country but it is imperfect as are all countries, people, etc. maher got it so right (oops, did it again) when he mentioned bush being the exact opposite of obama - never feeling he had to apologize. if we are so perfect, why is our healthcare system ranked 38th in the world? why do we stick our nose in everyone else's business and tell them how they should live? no offense to christians but it's kind of like when people go over to other countries under the guise of wanting to help those that are impoverished and sick, but really want to convert them to their religion because it's the only right (oops, again) way. couldn't you just help these people out of the goodness of your heart without going for the conversion?????

Nope, he's the hilarious knowledgeable, brilliant comedian who put religion in its place. The world is his oyster and he's got attitude you can only dream about.

Southern culture has destroyed the more Libertarian wing of the Republican party.

Bill Maher - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia !get it right yarmap!
Talk show host

Maher gained fame as the host of Politically Incorrect, which aired on the Comedy Central television network and later ABC. He is currently the host of Real Time with Bill Maher on HBO.

ABC decided not to renew Maher's contract for Politically Incorrect in 2002 after he made a controversial on-air remark on September 17, 2001,[35] in which he agreed with guest conservative political commentator Dinesh D'Souza that the 9/11 terrorists were not cowards. He then went on to say, "We have been the cowards lobbing cruise missiles from 2,000 miles away. That's cowardly. Staying in the airplane when it hits the building, say what you want about it, it's not cowardly." Maher later clarified that his comment was not anti-military in any way whatsoever, mentioning his longstanding support for the American military. [36][37][38][39][40]

Bill Maher is a has-been comic that only hbo will hire. Thats why you pay extra to watch him and 1980's movies. You should write jokes for him,you seem as frustrated about life as he is. :floor:

Sure just like George Carlin was a has been when he started making all those HBO specials each of which was a blockbuster CD. Did you ever stop to think that people are willing to pay for the higher quality acts. No need to write jokes. He can just read your posts.

No apology here. I got the info. from an ABC article. Anyone can post on Wikipedia. You could even put that you're a joke writer for him.

As for Southern hospitality. If you hang around for a while some just might rub off on you. Didn't you say you were from NYC.

Bill Maher: New Rule: No Shame in Being the Sorry Party

Well, at least you're elevating the converastion. I don't know why people feel so compelled to bash people. Whether it's Bush, Palin, Bill Clinton or Obama. Pig headed? Really? Okay, but we'll never advance as a society with that, in my humble opinion. Just don't see how that elevates us at all. It might make people even stand stronger to 'their side' and fight harder against 'your side', no matter what is truly right or wrong or which way is better. But keep it up.

Maybe in 20 years some will still be blaming Bush and calling him names. But just know, the same people you're chastising for blasting Obama, perhaps erroneously, are just the polar oppostite of you. So if you really think it's a bad idea, you might think about changing yourself first.
