AUDub 11,158 Posted November 13, 2022 Share Posted November 13, 2022 Carlin would have been the ultimate anti-Trumper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
icanthearyou 4,463 Posted November 13, 2022 Share Posted November 13, 2022 He understood what politics really is. He understood the differences between rhetoric and reality. Our government is openly for sale. We argue mostly meaningless issues while this one big overreaching truth becomes more and more entrenched. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SLAG-91 1,483 Posted November 13, 2022 Share Posted November 13, 2022 Elections are a good time to remind myself that we are pretty much choosing which group we think will be slowest in driving us over the cliff. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sadly, this statement is a pretty good reflection of our average understanding of power, politics, history. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DKW 86 7,431 Posted November 14, 2022 Author Share Posted November 14, 2022 I may have been describing myself wrong. I guess I am a Carlinist-Prog. While advocating for M4A, MWI, UBI, Tuition Reform, no more unauthorized wars, etc I understand that the only thing out there that will deliver any of that doesnt exist at this point in time. With the DNC in charge of the Senate, the HOR, and the WH, we could not even get a meaningless vote to raise the Minimum Wage. Think on that for a while...

johnnyAU 3,634 Posted November 14, 2022 Share Posted November 14, 2022 I admittedly didn't fully appreciate Carlin when he was around. The man was truly one of a kind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

creed 1,641 Posted November 15, 2022 Share Posted November 15, 2022 I don't know if any of you were at AU in the late 80s or early 90s, but Carlin was at Beard Eaves one night. He was extremely entertaining and funny. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
