re: Bill Maher’s New Rules about finding “offense” in anything & everything...

I am on the record that Trump caused his own issues with McCain by making that stupid statement.
I don't have to agree 100% with a politician to vote for him. If you wait for 100%, you would never vote.
How many liberals on here attacked Obama for INCREASING the power of the Patriot Act after spending almost 8 years railing on Bush for the Patriot Act?
I have to vote for the politician I think fits my beliefs best and has the best chance of winning. I didn't think any of the other Republicans could win.
As to Maher, he is entertainment. If I don't like the person, I don't have to watch the person. You are comparing apples to oranges. I don't like Maher and his comments about soldiers in captivity wasn't the only reason I dislike him. I clearly stated his smug delivery pisses me off. He has a very punchable face.
I'm just trying to understand the thought processes of the many posters on this board. I don't consider myself as either republican or democrat because quite frankly, politics in this country piss me off and sicken me.
The typical politician always places their own benefit and prosperity first before their constituents and the American people as a whole, and they've kept this country hobbled and short of its potential for decades, as a result. It's now uglier than its ever been, and I'm truly scared about the future of this country and its place globally.
But I get many republicans posting here blaming democrats for restricting and trying to oppress the freedom of speech, for one. Soldiers who fought in wars fight to defend and protect the US's rights and freedoms. One of those freedoms is the freedom of speech, for every US citizen.
So you post that because Bill Maher makes jokes or disrespectful remarks about soldiers, he should get punched in the face. How about get flogged, or hanged, or beheaded? It's all the same thing - oppressing the people from the freedom of speech, right?
You must be a flaming Democrat......

The part where the last time the Democrats had the ability to pass legislature they used all of their political capital to pass sweeping healthcare legislation delivering subsidized health insurance to millions of poor Americans.
And robbing millions of working class Americans of adequate coverage.

Now you are conflating your political opinion with their platform. Disingenuous.

Dave Rubin has pointed this out, and I think he’s correct, that now Bill Maher is the late night host furthest on the Right. A decade ago it was the opposite. I don’t think Bill has changed at all, it’s everyone around him who has.
I’m still pissed at him taking shite from actual racists like Ice Cube and especially Simone Sanders, but I do think he is an important proponent of the First Amendment, which is constantly under attack.

Ummmm, he’s like one of the first major targets by it. It did subtly exist, but then they dropped all pretext and went out in the open. That was a declaration of war.

He won't allow any criticism of global warming dogma on his show.
Sure he will. He just won’t let it go unchallenged. There’s a difference between him and Don Lemon.
quote:
He only supports free speech when he sees an opportunity to pat himself on the back.
I’m sure that’s why he has Ann Coulter on constantly.

But that still makes him better than 99% of Demonrats.
Agreed

Sorry you can't handle the truth.
Before the ACA it was possible to buy a low premium, high deductible plan with an actual provider network. (Which could easily be supplemented with an AFLAC policy.)
Now you still have high deductibles, but networks are smaller and you aren't allowed to buy the affordable plans.
That's a yuuuge reason for the 2014 electoral bloodbath. It also went a long way toward sinking Hillary in the Rust Belt.
That's without even mentioning the morally repugnant marriage penalties and the infamous Obamacare glitch.

More taking issue with you changing the subject. You made a false statement about the Democratic platform and then tried to pivot into critiquing the effectiveness of policy. Two entirely different discussions.

The point being that over the past 10-15 years, D policies have been Robin Hood in reverse.

Board only hates him because he's a democrat.
I don't like him because of his comments about the Aggie Bonfire collapse in 1999 2 days after it happened. It eventually ended up getting his show (Politically Incorrect) pulled from ABC due to the backlash.

Considering she's his side piece, it's part of the agreement.

Catholic Democrat? Funny. And capitalism isn't the evil people try to make it out to be. Trading goods and services for wages is in no way evil. For instance, when it speaks of people had everything common in Acts, and people try to make that about socialism. It is actually the perfect example of pure capitalism.
For example, I had to trade x amount of wool for eggs, milk, and bread with my neighbors. That is capitalism.
Socialism would be I had to give x amount of wool regardless of how much eggs, milk and bread that I am given. Hence, the issues with socialism.
I'm going to use the word Faith instead of religion because religion annoys me. But faith is the most important thing in life, hard not to have it mean something when looking at politics.
Another thing, conservatives help the poor more than anyone (More conservatives are Christian, therefore pay more tithes which go to a lot of charities /missions). Just because we don't want to be told we have to give x amount of taxes to entitlements and foreign countries doesn't make us evil. Actually makes us more aware of how our money is wasted on those who do not use it properly.

The Bible says," if a person is unwilling to work, he shouldn't eat." How is taking money from one hard working person to give to a person who refuses to work compassion or Christian? Stealing is a sin and so is sloth!

I hate him because he mocked soldiers in captivity essentially saying there were staying in a Hilton Hotel.
I watch Maher on and off but I don't remember seeing this, do you have any reference that would help me find it?
The POW issue is one I am very sensitive to and Trump's comments directed at McCain are one of the reasons I loathe him, had he kept them specific to McCain I would chalk it up to politics, he did not and it eats at me especially from someone that did not serve.

My point is that liberalism and conservatism incorporate elements of Christianity. Conservative politicians just pander to it a bit more.
Seems like the appropriate thing to do since today's liberals seem intent on nailing them to the cross of political correctness.
