Bill Maher diagnoses the major problem with liberalism, dismantles PC culture
The Blaze ^ | October 13, 2018 | Chris Enloe

“Eighty percent of Americans see political correctness as a problem. And I think it’s our problem,” Maher explained. “And I don’t know why more mainstream liberals don’t denounce the political correctness that they must know in private conversations is insane.”

When asked to define political correctness, Maher cited the apology astronaut Scott Kelly issued this week after he was criticized for quoting Winston Churchill on Twitter.

“[Kelly] had to issue an apology for that for quoting Churchill because Churchill I guess Churchill lived by the standards of the 19th Century,” Maher said. “This is the guy who saved us from the Nazis!”

What kind of crazy world do we live in where Bill Maher is one of the more sensible lefties?

The Crocodile Hunters widow and children are coming back to TV in a new show. How long will it take Maher before he starts mocking them.

Just #WalkAway Bill. Once the fog lifts and you see clearly, there’s really no going back.

Maher is full of it! Know why the Left hates Churchill? Because Obama’s grandfather was a Mau mau terrorist the British arrested under Churchills’s government!

the major problem with liberalism

The major problem with liberalism is that it isn't the least bit liberal. It is a rebottling of the old and stale vintage of early 20th century progressivism, which was inspired through the French labor unions by the Marxists, calling for suppressing of individual rights in favor of individual economic equality - e.g. redistribution of goods.

Once you realize that American progressivism was a rebellion against the American revolution you understand everything that is wrong with the leftists today. The reason that it is pushed by mob violence today is that it was always pushed by mob violence. That's what progressivists do.

In 1955, a book called Something of Value by Robert Ruark, was published. The book was fiction, but was written with firsthand experience by Ruark when he was hunting big game over in Africa. Definitely non-pc.

Ruark interupted his hunting to find out about the Mau Mau terrorists, journalist that he was. Good read.

Not was. Is. Progressives were and are all about destroying the Constitution and limited government.

America is all about keeping a stable, limited government.

The leftists don't do PC because they think it's a good idea. Of course they know a lot of these are a joke. They do it to see how much crap the conservatives will let them get away with. If one ridiculous thing works, they dream up another and get away with that.

And so on until they come to something that is really important for ruining the culture. It will be easy to get away with since a lot of conservatives never fought them since the beginning.

Their game is never quit and keep wearing them down. They have often won before Trump. Now they are getting nasty because their tricks don't work. Now they pull out the violence since they know they can get away with it in commie cities like Portland. This gets people used to violence, so they will escalate to see what more they can get away with.

Never quit, always escalate. It's worked them before.

Maher gets the disease right but misdiagnoses its cause.

The problem with the left is hardly fragility, it’s Jack boot totalitarianism.

Just think how quickly we went from the 5-4 Supreme Court imposition of so called same-sex marriage to protected class rights for “transgenders.” What could be next?

Who the hajj is Bill Maher, and who made him the voice of reason. He is a deep liberala nutcase.

At least Maher is copping to being a liberal now instead of pretending to be a libertarian like he used to do. He’s still one of the biggest d-bags on TV though.

It seems that he must have some honesty in him.
