    I think the people who hate Dennis Miller, do so because they don't/can't understand him. His speech is intelligent, well thought out, and is delivered with machine gun style. I wish we had about 100,000,000 more like him.

      I don't believe you understand how the Constitution works.
      The Constitution was written to restrain the federal government, not the people.
      The Constitution does NOT grant any rights.
      It was the STATES who gave us the Constitution and gave rise to (what was supposed to be a very limited) federal government.
      The Constitution charges the federal government with GUARANTEEING our rights.
      Most people never had a decent civics course, and that causes errors in how "We, the People" understand what the feds are supposed to do (and it isn't very much).

    @swiftcow445 No it doesn't. There is a part about a militia, but then there's comma, "the right of the PEOPLE to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed." They had just finished fighting a war against a militia that routinely stripped people of their weapons so they couldn't fight back. They understood that the militia was necessary to maintain the security of the state, but that it was more important for the people to be armed in the event they ever had to rise up against said militia.

    A rant or harangue is a speech or text that does not present a well-researched and calm argument; rather, it is typically an attack on an idea, a person or an institution, and very often lacks proven claims. Such attacks are usually personal attacks. Compare with a dialectic.
    i hope this help more for a person wanting to know what a rant is and have access to a pc or laptop or what ever portable device that has a access to the internet you arent to bright. try using the search enginens.

    • @Varsityy1
      @Varsityy1 9 років тому +1

      00Phat12345 A rant is talking about something negatively for a while. For example, Dennis Miller hates the way that some people would behave in the world; therefore, he could rant about it. Another example would be yours truly making fun of Austin Mahone and Becky G on my web show "Weeknight Update with Elie Muller" because I'm jealous of the fact that big time celebrities could find love and a little known web show host on UA-cam can't even get an actual kiss from a girl who isn't his actual mom. Of course, that's just my opinion, and I could be right.

    @3:40 People talk about 10-15 years ago like it was an era before the so called "campus craziness" of today. The fact that people from /back then/ were also arguing that the-end-of-free speech-on-college-campuses-is-imminent makes stuff people say today sound less credible and more like it might be an overblown, juvenoic, "kids these days" rant. He even mentions then currently news controversy about binge drinking on college campuses which makes it sound even more like a old vs. young generation rant.
    By the way, those restrictive "speech codes" he mentions? They're on a 9th or 10th year of decline with a significant drop just this past year, despite the fact that people think the-end-is-nigh on speech.

    Were you listening to the audience? That joke and the whole rant killed, and I happened to find it really funny.
    Unlike a lot of other serious/political comedians, who just say their opinion and the audience gives a cheer or applause because they agree, he actually makes people crack up and is funny about it.
    Just because you don't like his politics or you didn't personally find it funny doesn't mean he has no comedic skill. Quite the opposite, actually.

    See kids. Waay back in the past this man was known as a comedian. I know I know that weird tingle in your belly followed by those wheezy noises are frightening but don’t be alarmed. That’s a perfectly normal reaction by the brain called laughter. You see waay back in the past before the overlords took over and banned fun there were these people called “comedians” who would go on stage and make light of topics that could be mundane or offensive. In some cases the topics were so offensive that just mentioning them without fear and pointing out how obscured it was was enough to elicit this very reaction you just had. No no, it was just before the land whale.......sorry “strong independent women” who basically talked about their vaginas and every detail there about. See back then a comedian had to be interesting, intelligent and have a voice. Rather than having a rich relative in Congress. Sadly the great purge wiped it all away. Oh if only we had listened to guys like this instead of booing him because he pointed out how ridiculous our over reactions were at the time.

    @heatbucspies55 I do think he can be funny but he's lost that edge since he opened up as a conservative. He just has a smug tone that I cannot get around. People say Bill Maher is smug, but Miller has him beat. If he just stuck to comedy, maybe I'd laugh at what he has to say; otherwise, he just seems to be treading water. It's also very easy to make the converted laugh--conservative or liberal.

      Yeah what happened 2 him. Someone threatened him most likely. Psychopaths hired by public figures. Sad.
