On a social level, I agree with Bill Maher and his audiences positions on gay
rights, anti-war, environment, etc. But, I can't stomach watching them, now that
I've seen they can be just as hob-nail-booted as the right they despise. It was a
sad day for the left in America.
As I said, I'm a fan of truth. I don't worship media personalities. I outgrew that when I saw Blue Oyster Cult in business suits before a concert when I was 16 years old. Bill Maher's audience is much older, but they seem to have never understood that the persona projected by someone like Maher is just that. People let him have the mic, perhaps with agreements and limits of discussion pre-arranged and mutually agreed to. The future of our nation is not a team sport, and when we are split by "Democrats vs. Republicans" so visciously we all lose. This dual paradigm keeps us arguing over "flag burning" and side issues, while our nation is led to war based on a 9/11 myth that has never been proven, only stated over and over and over again by corporate media.
Although the good book is one those on the right often abuse and misuse to promote division and hatred, its still a pretty good book if you look at what Jesus had to say, "Watch out for false prophets. They come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ferocious wolves. By their fruit you will recognize them." -- Jesus; Matthew 7:15-20When Bill Maher stridently marched down the aisle on his HBO show, urging security to "kick the ass" of both men and women, who's only crime was to demand answers to questions we should all be asking, I think we caught a glimpse of his fruits. When we saw his audience of the so-called left acting like brown-shirts, we should all take pause in our acceptance of the right/left paradigm corporate media has cultivated like a garden.
We, conservative, liberal, black, white, rich, poor, are all Americans. We are all being denied some important truth regarding 9/11. It is being denied just as viciously by too much of the so called left media, as it is by FOX News, and their radio minions. Truth and the search for it, rises above politics. The truth about 9/11 is something we all need equally, if our nation is going to progress based on a firm foundation. If we go forward based on a foundation of lies, everything we do in the future will turn to rot. It is the nature of the universe.
