    "It's real easy to make speeches. It's much harder to stand up against corporations."

    Cognitive Dissonance is a powerful mindfuck. It transfixes it's host with the terror of inconvenient truth .. the brain becomes motionless .. and all avenues to critical thought are blocked.

    Even science no longer makes sense.

    the only thing Maher is pissed about, is the Obama is not moving to the far left fast enough for him...

    Maher is another ugly, hateful liberal comedian, with a mug only his mother could love..

    Bill Maher is evidence that Libertarians aren't all just "embarrassed republicans".
    Excellence is an art won by training and habituation. We do not act rightly because we have virtue or excellence, but rather we have those because we have acted rightly. We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act but a habit.
    - -- Aristotle

    Believe nothing on the faith of traditions, even though they have been held in honor for many generations and in diverse places. Do not believe a thing because many people speak of it. Do not believe on the faith of the sages of the past. Do not believe what you yourself have imagined, persuading yourself that a God inspires you. Believe nothing on the sole authority of your masters and priests. After examination, believe what you yourself have tested and found to be reasonable, and conform your conduct thereto.
    - -- The Buddha

    From one who often calls libertarians "embarrassed republicans", you've made a good point.

    I think Nixon said it best to Ike when Ike was facilating about choosing him as a running mate. "At some point you either have to shit or get off the pot.".

    I'd agree with that as well.

    I think Maher, like many disgruntled on the left, simply has no stomach for the utter weakness of the Democratic Party but finds himself with few options.

    "Libertarian" is much more socially and politically acceptable than say .. "socialist" .. but we agree on much.

    Correct. A few of them are just loony Libertarians.
    Bush doubled the debt from 5 trillion to 10 trillion.
    Proving tax cuts work!

    Bush asked for and signed for the TARP money.
    The Republican senate leader backed Bush on this.

    I've never noticed before, but he IS ugly.
    McCain to Obama. "If you don't like our bill, send troops to help us."

    Obama, himself attempted to filibuster Justice Alito, who now sits on the Supreme Court.

    I imagine that lots of those "Yes We Can" balloons are starting to pop by now.

    Hate to say I told you so .. but I told you so.

    And some are Democrats who try to make themselves appear less partisan by calling themselves something they aren't.

    Maher is funny enough, but taking his stuff seriously is sad. It's like that inane show where he and 7 other democrats all sit and bash some Republican actor he found somewhere who was foolish enough to show up for the abuse...
