Bill Maher talking about Hillary Clinton's genitals
Even the milquetoast Weekly Standard can see through this trumped-up GOP fluke about Fluke.
Behold the Double Standard. People my age will recall our Civics Classes discussions. How proudly our Liberal teachers in High School would quote the well-known French revolutionary and libertine, Voltaire:
“I may disagree with what you have to say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it.”
Most anyone in High School after, say 1970, and almost certainly after 1980 did not have a Civics Course. Rather they studied an adulterated ideology consisting of New Deal and Great Society New-Speak about the expanding role of an all-beneficent Government. It was called “Contemporary Issues” or something equally inane! A possible, if not probable response from just such an “educated” Liberal colleague might be:
“What? … a class on Civics? What’s Civics? I never had a Civics Course … who cares?. Just give Fluke her contraceptives and let’s move on. So what if Maher uses bad language; it’s just words … but Rush Limbaugh really hates women.”
So let’s try Bill Maher on for size. He started off a “Liberal humorist” like Liberal show hosts Colbert and Stewart claim to be. But Bill Maher has “evolved.” He now curses, mocks, slanders, and uses language unfit for the pig sty much less a public audience to describe his “enemies.” What does this say about what we are becoming? Unfortunately, most Liberals [75% or more?] will laugh at Maher’s base comments and encourage this arrogant, uncouth specimen in his incendiary, anti-religious, vulgar rants. Maher is not unique. We have seen David Letterman use the same tactics, and also have heard Ed Schultz ranting on MSNBC. Now, even Jon Stewart tries to get away with it occasionally by calling it “satire.” This kind of behavior has gone a long way to defining and shaping the coarse and un-gentlemanly and un-ladylike behaviors of today.
So … can we cut to the chase here? Let’s quit winking at and overlooking the sins of the Progressive side. Call them to account for this behavior. These men are repeat offenders and do not deserve a “Free Pass.” The true misogynist-pigs, Ladies and Gentlemen, are these select “media performers” on the Left whose comments might be better suited to the bars, dives, off-Beltway, or LA strip-clubs. These guys routinely disrespect women without uproar. In fact, their mixed male and female studio audiences laugh perfunctorily if not in agreement. If these guys, Maher and his ilk, are who you want defending the abortion “choice” and contraceptive life-style, then go for it. There are also a few Progressive women out there, so this coarseness is not uniquely male. If it is “rough” you like, it is “rough” you will find, and “rough” you will get.
I believe that the term in the psycho-babble world for what the Liberal-Progressive Media is doing to Rush is “projection.” Projection is deliberately labeling and name-calling the other side what you yourself are in order to draw attention away from or to justify yourself. So, behold the double-standard. Rush made a stupid choice of words in his flippancy. He has apologized. That apology was not accepted. Bill Maher never apologizes. He does not want to give an apology and he does not seek forgiveness. Teaching Point: The Left seeks to demonize and rid the airwaves of Conservative points of view and Conservative talk shows. Getting rid of Rush Limbaugh is their dream goal. Such is the Liberal idea of the Fairness Doctrine and how to apply it. If Rush were gone, they would soon attack the rest.
As for me, I prefer a world [and especially an America] where women are Ladies and men are Gentlemen and they treat each other with respect This would be a necessary step in the restoration of civility in America. But the undeniable first step must be the defeat of Barack Obama and his Progressive ideology in November. And by the way, President Obama, send back to Bill Maher his million dollar donation to your political PAC as a good faith gesture.
Hmmm … I wonder how many Liberals will rush to my side now and say:
“I may disagree with what you have to say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it.”

As the Obama Administration is being uncovered for scandal after scandal, his plans are beginning to backfire. For example, the ever-increasing scandals at the Internal Revenue Service are now jeopardizing critical funding for the agency as it attempts to play a major role in the implementation of Obamacare. Obama was planning a major budget increase for the IRS, but now the feat is proving difficult as Congress sees that the IRS has proven to be untrustworthy. This proves the famous, unchangeable law of sowing and reaping.
There is a general consensus that there is a dumbing down of America underway. There is a growing recognition that our move away from the classical understanding of what constitutes a proper education – and the ends of that education – is largely responsible for the problems we're seeing in the classroom, the workforce, and the culture at large.
A woman who described herself as a teacher of the U.S. Constitution has gone ballistic over Bradlee Dean’s ministry effort at a gasoline station in Florida to drum up support for its campaign to teach the ethics, morality and responsibility of the Bible in public schools. The woman verbally and physically attacked two ministry workers Elizabeth Ilse and Chase Schomberg.
The Boy Scouts of America recently decided they have greater loyalty to homosexual activists than to the God they pledge duty to and decided to allow homosexual boys to join the organization. Not to be left behind in the West's headlong plunge into immorality and insanity, the British equivalent of the Girl Scouts, Girl Guides, has decided to embrace narcissism over God.
Senator John Thune (R-S.D.), Chairman of the Senate Republican Conference, issued a statement today following the Senate’s rejection of his border security amendment (S. Amdt. 1197) to the immigration reform bill (S. 744). Thune’s amendment would have required construction of approximately 350 miles of reinforced, double-layer fencing, which was required by the immigration bill passed in 1996, as a trigger prior to Registered Provisional Immigrant (RPI) status being granted.

"We don't intend to turn the Republican Party over to the traitors in the battle just ended. We will have no more of those candidates who are pledged to the same goals as our opposition and who seek our support. Turning the party over to the so-called moderates wouldn't make any sense at all." - Ronald Reagan, Nov. 10, 1964 |
