Maher!
 Bill
Maher absolutely nailed the Tea Party on his
latest "Real
Time" program, and since it's a hell of
a lot better than anything I could hash out,
here you go:
"Now that they’ve finished reading
the Constitution out loud, the Teabaggers must
call out that group
of elitist liberals whose values are so antithetical
to theirs. I’m talking of course about
the Founding Fathers, who the Teabaggers believe
are just like them, but aren’t. One is
a group of exclusively white men who live in
a bygone century, have bad teeth, and think of
blacks as 3/5 of a person, and the other are
the Founding Fathers."
"Now I want you Teabaggers out there to
understand one thing. While you idolize the Founding
Fathers
and dress up like them and smell like them, I
think it’s pretty clear that the Founding
Fathers would have hated your guts, and what’s
more you would have hated them. They were everything
you despise. They studied science, read Plato,
hung out in Paris, and thought the Bible was
mostly bullshit."
"Super religious guy Glenn Beck likes to play
dress up as Thomas Paine. Thomas Paine, an atheist
who said churches were human inventions set up
to terrify and enslave mankind. John Adams said
this would be the best of all possible worlds
if there were no religion in it, which is not
to say the Founders didn’t have a moral
code, of course they did. They just didn’t
get it from the Bible, well except for the part
about it’s cool to own slaves. It’s
in there folks. I didn’t make it up."
"The Founders disagreed amongst themselves about
that and most issues, but the one thing they
never argued about was that political power should
stay in the hands of the smartest people and
out of the hands of the dumbest loudmouth slowing
down the checkout line at Home Depot, and yet
Sarah Palin once said of Obama we need a commander
in chief not a professor of law standing at a
lectern. How gay is that? Well I hate to break
it to you, but Thomas Jefferson lawyer, Alexander
Hamilton constitutional lawyer, James Madison
lawyer, John Adams constitutional lawyer. They
were not the common man of their day."
"Ben Franklin studied scientific phenomenon like
lightning and the Aurora Borealis, and were he
alive today, he could probably explain to Bill
O’Reilly why the tides go in and out. James
Madison was fluent in Greek and Latin and could
translate Virgil and Cicero. John Boehner can’t
translate Fareed Zakaria, and Thomas Jefferson
was an astronomer and a physicist who founded
the University of Virginia, played the violin,
and spoke six languages, or as Palin would say,
all of them."
------------
One more thing: If the Clinton tax rates had
remained in effect, the entire national debt
would have been paid off by 2012.
So if you want to know why the deficit is so
high it's because Republicans purposely made
it that high. Primarily to service their banking
masters, who just LOVVVVE the $300 billion
in interest that you and I pay on the deficit,
but also as an excuse to steal
your
Social Security.
Remember
that
come
2012.
On that note I'm off to do my last-minute MLK Day shopping.
