“This country is becoming a police state, and it is very troubling to me,” the “Real Time” host said while showing pictures of police officers patrolling the city and searching for Dzhokhar Tsarnaev.

BM audience is made up of extreme leftist.

To keep that audience he has to pander to their beliefs and say what they want to hear.

Everyone, right and left, are in agreement we are headed to a police state. That discussion is off the table.

What is on the table, who is responsible and how to end it.

BM audience wants to hear we’re going to a police state because of the right wing extremist. If it wasn’t for the right wing extremist and their beliefs the police state wouldn’t be “NECESSARY”. BM will give his audience what they want and lay the blame of the “necessity” of a police state on the right.

The left’s answer to the “necessity” of a police state to restore order is take away peoples rights, namely the 2nd then the 1st amendments.

It’s happened throughout the world over and over again.

The left in this country are the same as the left in other countries. It’s the means and ability to oppose their beliefs that makes the police state “necessary”.

But you accuse him of blaming the Right which he did do, thus you are in the wrong, maybe he will many be he won't. But unlike you I don't accuse someone on suspicion. Accusing someone on suspicion is a tactic of a Police State and thus you use the same tactics you accuse others of.

Dear FRiends,

Below, Anderson Cooper Interviews a very brave Boston Bombing victim Heather Abbott.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YCt7ABe-_a8&feature=youtu.be

We can't help feel for this attractive and very well turned out victim as she comes out of surgery to tell her brave story of survival.

However, a quick search of Hollywood actors and actresses who are available to perform in TV, movies etc, we find a professional actress advertising her trade. She's not the only crisis actor we found advertising their skills on Hollywood Amputees. Look at Heather's professional bio. below

http://www.amputeesinhollywood.com/Videos.html

The truth is a valuable commodity that our government is using to deceive us. Why are they boosting the terror in Boston through the use of actors & actresses? They don't seem to be trying to hide their involvement very well, might be a more important question?

Stay Safe,

Michael

I reached a reasonable conclusion based on known facts.

Fact-BM’s personal beliefs are those of an extreme leftist

Fact-BM’s audience is made up of extreme leftist

Fact- If BM want’s to keep his audience he will give his audience what they want to hear, which is the extreme leftist position which is also his position

Give me something to go on other than a leap of faith that he has seen the light and will throw away his audience and try and attract a new audience.

I didn't get the connection between my comment and your reply, until I looked at your home page (and looked and looked and looked).

I just consider you my

He may have a valid point ...

... but you know, if house-to-house searches start, Maher is going to be the guy who leaves a large bag of drugs on the table when he lets the cops in ...

Do not trust this guy, your thought process and his thought process are completely different.

Probably. But I really doubt he actually envisions establishing here what they have in Cuba. Like most people, he doesn't think that far ahead.

You've made up your mind. The Apache have a saying: "Think what you want to think. You are the one that has to live with your thoughts."

If BM was running this country do you think he would abolish the 1st amendment and silence anyone that might oppose him like Cuba, or allow people that oppose him the right to speak out against his authority?

If BM was running this country do you think he would abolish the 2nd amendment and have people that might oppose him disarmed like they are in Cuba or allow people that oppose and speak out against him to be armed?

Maher makes his living putting people he disagrees with on the air to make fun of him. I doubt he'd want to silence such people completely through censorship if it meant he couldn't ridicule them.

Bill Maher may be the sort to wish away all guns, but I suspect he's too busy getting high and playing with himself to actually run anything, so that's one thing we don't have to worry about.

Allowing people you disagree with on the air only so you can make fools of them is a form a censorship, especially when your oppositions position is scripted and your response is scripted for laugh effect.

So you thought I was just blurting out random public declarations of affection?

That had to have weirded you out big time.

;D

"Looking at the posts, into page two already, not seeing much about the content of Maher?s protest"

Yes, you are correct. I have to take some responsibility in this specific case because my opening statement was weak and focused solely on/if Maher in some small way was evolving in his point of view and less on if he was correct in his observation that our nation is becoming a police state.

Well yeah Mr Maher, the POTUS has kill lists and he has already killed a 16 year old American citizen guilty of nothing. The government is trying to disarm it’s citizens. Where the hell have you been Bill?

But mocking people isn't killing them or putting them in prison or burning their books -- especially if there are other shows, channels, and networks.

A free society does have room for clowns to domineer on television for an hour or so a week since there are plenty of other media outlets that will disagree.

I don't really go with the argument "if so-and-so had absolute power, so-and-so would exercise absolute power." Most people don't want absolute power, so the point is moot, IMHO.
