Defending Freedom

Damn.  Bill Maher stood up for western civilization as he spoke some unvarnished truth on his HBO show recently.  Enjoy his monologue posted below.

Soon enough the “I support the current thing” clowns will move on and start crying about something else that they’ve been told to cry about.

Woke is going to kill the USA. I am so glad I am old and won't be here to witness the end.

A bunch of lies… there is a real panic now to spread propaganda

No thanks. Won't read his crap. Kingfish is slowly but surely slipping to the abyss. Kingfish thinks he's closeted but watches this shit as well as The View and that Maddow guy. Yep, you can book it. Volvo with a Biden/Harris bumper sticker.

Bless his heart. He's a closet conservative.

@7:29 It's easy to claim something is a lie or fake news. If you have better information, state your facts along and provide supporting information. Otherwise, you're just a petulant child crying because you aren't getting your way.

WOW!!!
The most liberal crowd anywhere is a Bill Maher audience, yet they are in full agreement with conservatives and traditional values.
Is THIS the Twilight Zone or Bizarro World???

It's a little too late for this dude to try and speak common sense. He literally wanted the economy to crash under Trump so 45 would look bad.

Now close to his 70's, I guess better late than never?

Kingfish said...

Not so much as being conservative. Liberals such as Maher, Joe Rogan (yes Rogan is a lib), Jimmy Gore (commie actually), Bari Weiss, Matt Taibbi (former Rolling Stone darling), Glen Greenwald and others are not turning conservative.

What they believe in is freedom of thought, freedom of conscience, freedom of speech. Those were liberal ideals back in the 60's but now they have been replaced by a new round of Jacobins, Leninists, and Maoists who brook no disagreement and think everyone opposing them is evil. Evil people have no rights, you understand, and should be cast out of society in their thinking. Hell, George Bernard Shaw wanted to put people who didn't think as he did in concentration camps. Same difference between Rousseau and Voltaire. One stood for enlightened reason, one stood for unbridled savagery barely constrained by civilization.

Bill is taking some credit he and his don't deserve when he says the, er, Western Civilizationers created all those good things. Mahar isn't a Western Civilizationer but looks very much like one.

And those woke Leftist complainers he excoriates, does Mahar need to be reminded no one complains ("kvetches," I believe would be his word for it) more than Mahar and his fellow non-Western Civilizationers, and none so successful at it?

It's big. It's skin is gray and wrinkled. It has a long nose and gigantic ears. And that's just about as far as one better go in making such observation.

Bill Maher, and I didn't see eye to eye in the past, because he was feeding his core audience. He now sees as, I do, the writing on the wall. The pendulum has begun to move in the other direction.

The current makeup of what is called modern liberalism isn't sustainable. The cancel generation will eventually cancel its own self, and probably come for Maher. Once again, the pendulum is moving in the other direction. Let us hope it doesn't swing too far.

Bill Maher has stated many times that he is as liberal as he was 10+ years ago, but the left has shifted so far left it makes him look conservative. He is not a traditional conservative by most rational measures, but any thoughts or views that doesn't jive with the current far left thinking labels one as conservative / right wing.

Anonymous said...

9:04 - sorry to sidetrack, but do you find modern conservatism as portrayed by the Republican party to be sustainable? Serious question.

He’s a member of the long-nose tribe and that’s all I need to know to not trust him.
What really concerns me is how much KF gives credibility to these shylocks.
It really makes you wonder if he has his head screwed on straight!

If you notice migrants only come to western nations… United States Europe Australia Canada etc… why is this? One must ask… for places so tainted and rooted in evil migrants sure do seem to prefer this way of life

Anonymous said...

Are 8:54 and 9:50 the same resident antisemite or is there a group of these clowns who comment here?

Anonymous said...

The irony is that most of the historical figures cited by Maher were considered in their time to be liberal or radical thinkers. The development of those "Western" concepts of freedom were not conservative principles when published and came into existence only with bloodshed at the hands of those who wanted to preserve the status quo. If anything it illustrates the point that Western Civilization is built on acceptance of progressive change not stagnation.

Migrants go places with generous social safety nets. That’s all.
The US, UK, Canada, and EU have a reputation for handing out free food, free housing, free clothing, free transportation , and free medical care to migrants.

America is so devoid of real problems (in the global and historic meaning of the concept) that is has to invent problems to fret over.

November 14, 2023 at 9:46 AM, I sure hope not. The Republican Party no more represents the concerns of their voters, than the Democratic Party does. D.C. isn't there to improve the living standard of the citizens.

The charade in D.C. is there to keep the country divided, and to further enrich the selected families behind the scenes. Can't you see? There's no difference in the parties.

What do you suppose happens when the interest on the debt becomes more than our gross domestic product? That's a real question, by the way.

That interest is soon to be the biggest outlay of the federal budget. That's bigger than defense, social security, medicare, or any other outlays of the feds.

What will replace this country as we know it when we can no longer satisfy our lenders? That's a real question, also. What happens when hyperinflation is running rampant? That's a real question, also.

I could go on, and on, neither party is sustainable, because the country isn't sustainable at the present level of governance. The things this country is divided over will not matter when you're living hand to mouth.

Maher is an old school common sense liberal. The squad, acronym people, BLM, and neon-haired woke people have shifted the Democratic Party far left of where he is, just as MTG, Matt Gaetz, Trump, and MAGA hatters have pulled the Republican Party too far right for many conservatives.

Diddywahdiddy said...

@2:51pm...Well said. Those are my similar thoughts.

@2:51
Not “many” conservatives, all conservatives. RINOs are the minority.
Trump and Gaetz are overwhelmingly supported my Republicans.
In fact, must of us want a harder right. Most of us want 1776.

Anonymous said...

Well said 4:57. Many people want to go backwards to the rhetoric of 1776 but they would think twice if they had to live in the reality of 1776. In that era not many people enjoyed the freedoms they enjoy today but claim they do not have. It sounds good though.

Anonymous said...

“Well said 4:57”???

I’m not sure what 4:57 is trying to convey. The first sentence says the Republican Party has been pulled too far right for all conservatives, which seems to disagree with the rest of the post.

There is a reason the entire world calls these unhinged, pillow-clutching maniacs, “trumptards”

...and that reason is?

Please enlighten us.

Trollfest '09

Trollfest '07 was such a success that Jackson Jambalaya will once again host Trollfest '09. Catch this great event which will leave NE Jackson & Fondren in flames. Othor Cain and his band, The Black Power Structure headline the night while Sonjay Poontang returns for an encore performance. Former Frank Melton bodyguard Marcus Wright makes his premier appearance at Trollfest singing "I'm a Sweet Transvestite" from "The Rocky Horror Picture Show." Kamikaze will sing his new hit, “How I sold out to da Man.” Robbie Bell again performs: “Mamas, don't let your babies grow up to be Bells” and “Any friend of Ed Peters is a friend of mine”. After the show, Ms. Bell will autograph copies of her mug shot photos. In a salute to “Dancing with the Stars”, Ms. Bell and Hinds County District Attorney Robert Smith will dance the Wango Tango.

Wrestling returns, except this time it will be a Battle Royal with Othor Cain, Ben Allen, Kim Wade, Haley Fisackerly, Alan Lange, and “Big Cat” Donna Ladd all in the ring at the same time. The Battle Royal will be in a steel cage, no time limit, no referee, and the losers must leave town. Marshand Crisler will be the honorary referee (as it gives him a title without actually having to do anything).


Meet KIM Waaaaaade at the Entergy Tent. For five pesos, Kim will sell you a chance to win a deed to a crack house on Ridgeway Street stuffed in the Howard Industries pinata. Don't worry if the pinata is beaten to shreds, as Mr. Wade has Jose, Emmanuel, and Carlos, all illegal immigrants, available as replacements for the it. Upon leaving the Entergy tent, fig leaves will be available in case Entergy literally takes everything you have as part of its Trollfest ticket price adjustment charge.

Donna Ladd of The Jackson Free Press will give several classes on learning how to write. Smearing, writing without factchecking, and reporting only one side of a story will be covered. A donation to pay their taxes will be accepted and she will be signing copies of their former federal tax liens. Ms. Ladd will give a dramatic reading of her two award-winning essays (They received The Jackson Free Press "Best Of" awards.) "Why everything is always about me" and "Why I cover murders better than anyone else in Jackson".

In the spirit of helping those who are less fortunate, Trollfest '09 adopts a cause for which a portion of the proceeds and donations will be donated: Keeping Frank Melton in his home. The “Keep Frank Melton From Being Homeless” booth will sell chances for five dollars to pin the tail on the jackass. John Reeves has graciously volunteered to be the jackass for this honorable excursion into saving Frank's ass. What's an ass between two friends after all? If Mr. Reeves is unable to um, perform, Speaker Billy McCoy has also volunteered as when the word “jackass” was mentioned he immediately ran as fast as he could to sign up.


In order to help clean up the legal profession, Adam Kilgore of the Mississippi Bar will be giving away free, round-trip plane tickets to the North Pole where they keep their bar complaint forms (which are NOT available online). If you don't want to go to the North Pole, you can enjoy Brant Brantley's (of the Mississippi Commission on Judicial Performance) free guided tours of the quicksand field over by High Street where all complaints against judges disappear. If for some reason you are unable to control yourself, never fear; Judge Houston Patton will operate his jail where no lawyers are needed or allowed as you just sit there for minutes... hours.... months...years until he decides he is tired of you sitting in his jail. Do not think Judge Patton is a bad judge however as he plans to serve free Mad Dog 20/20 to all inmates.

Trollfest '09 is a pet-friendly event as well. Feel free to bring your dog with you and do not worry if your pet gets hungry, as employees of the Jackson Zoo will be on hand to provide some of their animals as food when it gets to be feeding time for your little loved one.

Relax at the Fox News Tent. Since there are only three blonde reporters in Jackson (being blonde is a requirement for working at Fox News), Megan and Kathryn from WAPT and Wendy from WLBT will be on loan to Fox. To gain admittance to the VIP section, bring either your Republican Party ID card or a Rebel Flag. Bringing both and a torn-up Obama yard sign will entitle you to free drinks served by Megan, Wendy, and Kathryn. Get your tickets now. Since this is an event for trolls, no ID is required. Just bring the hate. Bring the family, Trollfest '09 is for EVERYONE!!!

This is definitely a Beaver production.

Kamikaze will perform his new song F*** Bush, he's still a _____. Did I mention there was no referee? Dr. Heddy Matthias and Lori Gregory will face off in the undercard dueling with dangling participles and other um, devices. Robbie Bell will perform Her two latest songs: My Best Friends are in the Media and Mama's, Don't Let Your Babies Grow up to be George Bell. Sid Salter of The Clarion-Ledger will host "Pin the Tail on the Trial Lawyer", sponsored by State Farm.

There will be a hugging booth where in exchange for your young son, Frank Melton will give you a loooong hug. Trollfest will have a dunking booth where Muhammed the terrorist will curse you to Allah as you try to hit a target that will drop him into a vat of pig grease. However, in the true spirit of Separate But Equal, Don Imus and someone from NE Jackson will also sit in the dunking booth for an equal amount of time. Tom Head will give a reading for two hours on why he can't figure out who the hell he is. Cliff Cargill will give lessons with his .80 caliber desert eagle, using Frank Melton photos as targets. Tackleberry will be on hand for an autograph session. KIM Waaaaaade will be passing out free titles and deeds to crackhouses formerly owned by The Wood Street Players.
