George Carlin On War

"Well, we like war!

We like war! We're a war-like people! We like war because we're good at it! You know why we're good at it? Cause we get a lot of practice. This country's only 200 years old and already, we've had 10 major wars. We average a major war every 20 years in this country so we're good at it! And it's a good thing we are; we're not very good at anything else anymore! Huh? Can't build a decent car, can't make a TV set or a VCR worth a fuck, got no steel industry left, can't educate our young people, can't get health care to our old people, but we can bomb the shit out of your country all right! Huh? Especially if your country is full of brown people; oh we like that don't we? That's our hobby! That's our new job in the world: bombing brown people. 

Iraq, Panama, Grenada, Libya, you got some brown people in your country, tell them to watch the fuck out or we'll goddamn bomb them! Well when's the last white people you can remember that we bombed? Can you remember the last white--- can you remember ANY white people we've ever bombed? The Germans, those are the only ones and that's only because they were trying to cut in on our action. They wanted to dominate the world! BULLSHIT! THAT'S OUR FUCKING JOB! Now, we only bomb brown people – not because they're trying to cut in on our action – just because they're brown. 

Now you probably noticed I don't feel about that war the way we were told we were supposed to feel about that war, the way we were ordered and instructed by the United States government to feel about that war. 

You see, I tell ya, my mind doesn't work that way. I got this real moron thing I do; it's called “thinking”, and I'm not a very good American because I like to form my own opinions. I don't just roll over when I'm told to. Sad to say, most Americans just roll over <snap> on command, not me. 

I have certain rules I live by; my first rule: I don't believe anything the government tells me... nothing, zero, no, and I don't take very seriously, the media or the press in this country, who in the case of the Persian Gulf war were nothing more than unpaid employees of the Department of Defence, and who most of the time, most of the time functioned as kind of an unofficial public relations agency for the United States government. So I don't listen to them, I don't really believe in my country and I gotta tell you folks, I don't get all choked up about yellow ribbons and American flags. I consider them to be symbols and I leave symbols to the symbol-minded...

The last few weeks I've been giving you lots of reasons why the far-left in America (Socialists, Communists, Hippies) don't like George Carlin. And all of that really has to do with his beliefs in free speech, personal freedom, and individualism. 

If George Carlin was performing and speaking today, he would be treated like Bill Maher by the far-left and he would probably have to hire an army of bodyguards to protect him. And he wouldn't be allowed to perform on college campuses by the far-left, because of the way that Carlin made fun of radical feminists and the far-left in general. He probably probably would've gone after Islamism, especially militant Islamism as well, in America in general. 

But you listen to George Carlin and how he talks about war and the far-left would talk about him, the way they paise Che Guevara or some other militant leftist from the 1960s or 70s. I mean he would be like their God to them. (Even though most of these folks are Atheists) Because this is how the far-left sees the United States of America. We're just 1, huge, war machine, in the business to protect "The Man" and to bomb the hell out of people who have dark complexions, especially if they have a lot of oil and gas as well. 

And 1 other thing that the far-left loves about George Carlin: he cusses his ass off. He could barely get through a sentence with delivering a "fuck", or a "shit", or "fucking", "mother fucker", etc. And that's how those folks talk to each other and how their militants talk to people they disagree with online. Which is only about almost everybody. They can get very pissed off online, perhaps because they're so lonely and unhappy.
