Bill Maher Takes Time Off From Telling Jokes to Become a Joke

Bill Maher, once a comedian, has evolved over time from being a libertarian to being a statist. He is also what I would call an evangelical atheist. Maher is so offended by the very notion that someone believes in God that he feels he must ridicule and denigrate any display or expression of belief. Maher made a movie called "Religulous" ridiculing the very notion of any belief. This has led to Maher's twitter war against Tim Tebow, the Denver Broncos quarterback who is a devout Christian with an overly long delivery and difficulty diagnosing multiple receiver defenses. Tebow, despite his detractors, has managed to help put Denver in a position to make it to the playoffs this years. Tebow also happens to thank God every time he has the opportunity. This apparently horrifies Bill Maher, which led him to tweet this after Denver lost to Buffalo on Christmas Eve.

Bill Maher is one of many of a growing group of what I earlier referred to as evangelical atheists. He appears to be a man filled with hatred and disdain for something he doesn't even believe exists. Take that in for a second. That's like going on a rampage about Santa Claus because there are children. For a time in my life I was both an atheist and a statist (i.e. modern liberal). I found both positions to be both intellectually and morally without merit. I do not hold hatred in me for anyone who holds those positions. I wouldn't want any part in an organization that forces my beliefs on others but I have no problem with people making the arguments for and against, as long as those arguments are respectful and reasoned. Resorting to cries of racism, murder (I recently saw someone post on Facebook about how many people God had killed) and idiocy are not the proper way to convey an idea. It is, however, the best way to show your own ignorance and hatred. And my response is, God bless you, Bill Maher. I hope you aren't as miserable as you seem to be.

Radio Free America

This rant by Adam Corolla, replayed by Glenn Beck, sums up the idiotic Occupy Wall Street movement and the modern liberalism of the statist left such as our current president. It can be held down to a single word. ENVY. The modern left is based almost entirely on one of the ten deadly sins listed in the Bible.

Blame Bush

That's right folks, no matter what ails you, it is probably the fault of former President George W. Bush. Hangnail? Bush. Short? Bush. Bad relationship? Bush, of course. Idiotic leftist policies failing? Bush times 50.

The "supercommittee" negotiations failed to produce the cuts in deficit spending required to avoid automatic cuts in domestic and military spending. Why? Not because Democrats failed to address entitlement spending until the last minute (which Nancy Pelosi (D. CA) had already instructed her caucus not to agree to), not because Republicans wouldn't agree to effectively raise taxes by addressing exemptions while lowering the base rates (they did). It was because of Bush, specifically, the Bush tax cuts according to this report from ABC News.

So the lesson is, neither Democrats nor Republicans currently in office have any responsibility for their actions as long as the finger can point to President Bush. Whatever happened to the buck stops here?

Disgusting Union Behavior

Michigan, is not a right to work state. As a result, parents caring for their disabled children have been forced to join SEIU, one of the most evil institutions in America, so that they can take the medicaid money intended to help the parents care for those children.

Guilty

Well, I have to admit, I called it very early on Newt Gingrich when his campaign appeared to be tanking. Now, not only am I actively rooting for him to be either President or Vice President, it appears his surge in the polls may have in him a position to do so.

Occupy This

The various "Occupy" movements might want to think about occupying this million dollar vacation home owned by filmaker Michael Moore (who rails against the supposed 1%). I suppose Moore is truly part of the 99% in one way. That's about what percentage of liberal celebrities are hypocrites.

He's Baaaaaaaaacckkk!!!!!!!

Former Congressman Alan Grayson (D. Fl.), whose blatant idiocy has blessed these pages previously, is back running to regain the seat he lost in Congress. The "Congressman with guts" (which are presumably what he has in lieu of brains and character) is, at least this is my theory, some strange metaphysical manifestation of the "Looney Tunes" character Hugo the Abominable Snowman

and Private Pyle from "Full Metal Jacket"

all rolled into one but somehow only received 1/10 of the total IQ points and 1/100 of the moral fiber.

I'm actually a little torn. While his presence as a Congressman is an indictment of humanity (at least in his district anyway), he's always good to hold up as an example of exactly what is horribly, horribly wrong with the self-described progressive left.
