***** Exactly! We need to stand up together and take back America and we need to do something...Revolution maybe? People are just too damn comfortable with themselves.
Tweak91ify No revolution. What would it accomplish? People are too caught up in themselves. Too many people are sheep and cannot think for themselves. And, as a consequence, we've got too many of the wrong elected politicians serving our country. It's kind of hopeless and depressing at this point.

@timwins31 Thank you Tim. Your comment reminds me of my late father, who is giving God a good roasting as I speak. On our small farm, yearly, he would guide the local 50+ walking group around. On one occasion, the story goes, he stood by the fence pointing something out, curious the cattle came over ... he then delivered a lengthy warning to them! The cattle just stood there ...
He's been warning us for years. Glad I defied my parents every time he had a new show by staying up late to catch every one on HBO :) R.I.P. George baby. It didnt fall completely on deaf ears sir :)
"It's slavery, but you have to get your own food and accommodation" - Steve Hughes Its a weird world we live in when 'comedians' are having to put things like this into routines just to get the truth heard
100% accurate. The sad thing about it is that the only reason he was allowed to say the truth is because he's a comedian just like in feudalist times when the court jester was the only one allowed to speak the truth. It's a case of "it's so funny because it's true". I wonder if the people there got what he was saying was 100% the truth.
I revisit this 3-minutes periodically, and, as time rolls-by, Carlin is proven even more correct by current events, whether the topic is education, the American Worker, politics, media, business, etc. The man was a genius in his social and political commentary. Too bad there is no one today delivering the same truth.
This three-minute clip is taken from a stand-up comedy show, yet I didn't laugh once when I watched this video. Not because I didn't find any of this show funny and humourless, but because I was nodding my head in agreement a lot of the time. George Carlin wasn't just a comedian. He was a philosopher and truth-teller. I have nothing but admiration and respect for this terrific man.

let me guess, this video up there, is right out the television. The best way to start thinking is stop being a dumb ass. Ask questions if you dont understand, stop trust people for now reason and just stop to belive everything you got told....

RA MO I don't know, If you know anything about Christopher Hitchens it was he hated people or entities of power, he particularly hated the way the Kurds in northern Iraq were treated and if anything I suppose he hoped a change of regime would see that change.
RA MO Well now, if you have ever seen any of Christopher Hitchens his debates, you will know that first of he didnt support any particular political party (anymore). His reasons for going to war in Iraq were differant from the Bush administration and his primary concern was indeed for the secular Kurds and he admitted that Saddam should have ended in the early 90s, when most of the world would have supported the US in doing so. Besides that, and i think this is a fair point: Extremist muslims want us dead, even if the US never invaded Iraq or even Afghanistan, they would have still wanted us dead. And then of course you can claim that this is because of the way western nations have acted, and sure that might be true, but their main motivation is and remains Islam, the spreading of it by any means necessary and the death of anyone who opposes it.
As a Dutch guy I see this in my country too and The E-FUCKING-U is growing too! The American dream is a nightmare that has spread all over the Western world, with it's urge to globalization.
It scary shit! I live in America and use to proudly believe this was "the land of opportunity". As it turns out it's the Land of Opportunity alright....... Opportunity to get fucked by a government that wants to be the World Policeman! You may have heard our leaders are wanting to replace human soldiers with Robots. My guess is because they have something big planned that a human soldier would refuse. Or maybe just to save more money for their greedy lifestyles.
david creech My vision is that America was founded by a handful of elite who knew they'd could become very rich and in doing so very powerful with the resources that this lawless land has/had. They could rebuild a new society that in the old countries by the laws of Kings and Queens (uggghhh) was not possible. But the new founding fathers yearning to be like their Kings and Queens needed modern-slaves who were seemingly free and equal to get the resources out of the ground and make the beginnings of an economy that would be larger than in the old world. This is how they came up with the suggestion of "equality" and later the "the american dream". Which was just a poster campagne to get immigrants doing the hard labor. And certainly in the beginnings (when you weren't black) you had more possibilities to grow than in over regulated war torn Europe. But now the polish has warn off and the cracks in the illusion are showing. The hard working blue collar American was nothing more than a tool to create a paper economy (where you can make money when you have money) and buy the power of the world. I do think that we the working Joe's will start an uprise once again like it had happened in Victorian times in England where the working Joe was exploited for the wealth of the rich. But like a smart man once said: "History repeats itself."

No. It's not. It's plausible but ignores the true motives of people and is an utterly cynical viewpoint. As a result it fatally misdiagnoses the problem and so, necessarily, gets the appropriate response wrong too.

"The American Cult of the Individual denies not just community, but the very idea of society. No one owes anything to anyone. All must be prepared to fight for everything : education ,shelter, food, medical care. What every prosperous and successful democracy deems to be fundamental rights - universal health care, equal access to quality public education, a social security safety net for the weak,elderly and infirmed - America dismisses as socialist indulgences, as if so many signs of weakness."- Wade Davis
Carlin speaks the truth, the sad sad truth about the United States, we all miss you, RIP Carlin, you will always be my favorite and I feel it was such an honor to see you perform live twice. Thanks for the memories.
RIP George. I heard this many years back when I was a teenager and it changed my view on the world. I would have said God bless you but I know where you stand on that so ... :)
And the sad part is, all the people clapping are the ones who aren't going to do anything about it. They're clapping to feel good about it, but once they all left they just went back to their normal lives and didn't do anything different.
The Shaper u can still move up people do it all the time but there is an oligarchy that control congress so at least they remain there ie oil companies
speaking the truth is the honorable thing to do but it can also shorten your life for some strange reason, george carlin, bill hicks, christopher hitchens would attest to that, ''if they weren't dead''.
The only thing that took ol George out was his coke habit in the 70's. I am surprised though. As much as he ran his mouth i cant believe he wasn't tagged and bagged back in the 90's.
@@makelpolk4470 Joan rivers died from malpractice, MJ was a drug addict, Tupac died by the sword he lived by, and Steve Jobs thought he was smarter than doctors, I'm not even sure why he is on this list, lol.
I miss Carlin so much. This guy sparked my mind at 11yrs old. Along with 9/11 happening I never saw the world the same again. Such a legend and such an influence in my life. Thank you for your service and honesty!!! Happy birthday and RIP
Nobody seems to care but there are people that know those things you said and have to live with that reality that kills them inside just that much more every day..i care and so do others like me i hope..its a shame we can't put our minds together to defeat this evil..
thanks for this, dan! carlin certainly was a great man. thanks a lot for the transcript too. it will no doubt save others from having to do the work themselves. artists are our greatest truthtellers. they get away with it because they're just artists, and artistic expression isn't given proper respect. so they remain relatively obscure, as in carlin's own words: 'nobody seems to notice, nobody seems to care'. of course a few of us do notice and do care, but we're far too few and far too weak. we are indeed nobodies.
Sorely missed. Bill Hicks and George Carlin were my role models growing up. I was heart-broken (age 13) when Hicks died of pancreatic cancer but Carlin came in and lifted my 'spirits' and intellect. We miss you George =*(
+Ryan Swanson Same here man. Bill Hicks and George Carlin are my heroes too. They spoke the truth, brutal and straight. We the people better wake up, stand together and break this system of control down before it crashes on us.
What is funny is 270 idiots down-voted this! I guess those are the people he was talking about that "don't seem to notice, don't seem to care." George would have made a huge impact these past 10 years.
Rarely do we come across someone with the balls to call things for what they are. Everyday, less and less people are able to express his/her ideas freely, without fear of being chastised, even to death. Political correctness is choking us, at the same time that the assholes in charge preach of democracy, freedom, justice and equality...and many still listen and believe their bullshit!
The fuck did Reagan have to do with this “big club?” You do understand conservatism means smaller government, right? Means you don’t have to go to jail for 20 years for over a pound of pot or whatever, because the peers going to your trial are truly your peers. That’s only an example. But having 20 lbs of pot and a badge is just fine? No wonder you’re voting for Biden-Harris or to the least endorsing that trash.
Muff Diver Yes I am a Muslim & I believe in Allah which is the Arabic word for God the Lord of Abraham. Simple short reason is that there are too many signs such as the creation of Birds & how God created gravity & their wings for them to fly.

***** Rich people don't become politicians , they control them . There are about 8 or so family's in this world that CONTROL it all . They run the show
I remember thinking a lot of this starting happening in the 1980's. In North Carolina, we were know for making beautiful furniture. There were wonderful craftsmen all over the Western Part of the state where I grew up. Everyone knew someone in the furniture business. The people that worked in the plants were true craftsmen. And the hosiery mills made all the socks and all of these items were sent all over the country. Then one by one, they started sending all the work to China. People that had worked in these places made good money, had health insurance and some had even had stock in the companies. There are still a few left I guess, but not many. I remember when I was in my early 20's working at Sears. Back then, we even had stocks in the company and and when I sold anything I got a percentage of the sale. All of this is gone for the most part. My son, thankfully, is really a smart young man and became a computer engineer. That is in the Eastern part of the state. And my daughter works for a Chinese woman and makes good money working for her. She lived in China for a few years as a Designer. But the American Dream we once had is not the same.
This was good information based on your experiences, thanks. America had a prime but it's long gone. Freedom is one of the main things that's gone, look up 5G when you can. It is NOT just an upgrade from 4G. It's another thing that will heavily impact our freedom.
I woke up to this reality in 2009 with the rise of the Tea Party. And believe me, I wish I hadn't. It's a miserable existence because, as Carlin said, "nobody seems to notice ... nobody seems to care". Just can't wait until I can leave this country.
Terry Griffin I narrowed it down to Uruguay, Portugal, and Panama. All three governments actually do what the people elect them to do, instead of ignoring the masses and following the marching orders of the elite 1%.
Rodney Wollam yeah i dont third world countries are a good choice and portugal is in massive debt America is a great place but we need to clear house dont leave stay and help fix the problems we have cowards run and im sure thats not you
Tony Uruguay's actually got a pretty cool 1st world city in Montevideo. Some call it 'the Paris of South America'. I probably won't leave until my house is paid off, in 2023. But, if the same thing happens in 2020 that happened in 2010 (leftists staying home cause it wasn't a Presidential election, effectively handing the right control of the House of Representatives for a decade), my decision will be sealed. As it stands since 2010, those of us on the left who want to see a return to regulating union-busting business and their pollution, the repeal of Citizens United (and a dozen other onerous rulings from the bought and paid for USSC Five), and a well funded legal aid society- have barely been keeping our heads above water.
Rodney Wollam oh your a left winger and im your opposite lol but please explain more by what you think or mean about the repeal of citizens united regulating unions ect im lost by what you said lol
I remember watching this as a kid and getting so damned mad at the truths he was speaking. It's gotten so much worse since he was around, it's disgusting.
It's not just captialism... history has shown the system is irrelevant. It's the people at the top of the system... any system... they are human and can't be trusted.
This man was a prophet...at the end of his life made millions of dollars he could have said a few funny lines and went home but he didn't he was trying to get through to us about what is really going on...listen,listen closely
No we won't. Don't be delusional. What world changing event is going to make the U.S. citizens take their country back? Nothing. This is the way it's gonna be in this country for as long the government continues to exist as it does.
***** Um...no we don't worship government. Are you kidding? The entire nation thinks the government are a bunch of morons and incompetent idiots. This administration has been, statistically, the least productive America has ever seen. The president is useless, congress is a pile of shit, especially because it's now GOP controlled, and, in 2014, some state governments are still struggling with the basic human right of equality by rejecting gay marriage, not to mention abortion.That's why, last presidential election, the voter count was the lowest it's been since World War II: because we realize that we basically have a choice between one pile of shit or the other. Trust me, we don't worship the government, whatsoever. We resent, and borderline despise it.
I think you have the wrong idea. I'm not the minority at all. I'm the majority. There is widespread resentment towards the government throughout the nation. Those rallies you mentioned are attended by just that, dick-suckers, not the average American citizen. Who do you know that goes to those? I've never met anyone who does. Benevolent government? Dogmatic devotion? You're joking right? Half the country hates the Obama administration. In fact, the approval rating is only 47%. You call that dogmatic devotion? Especially when you consider our totally unnecessary involvement in the middle-east which almost the entire country thinks is useless, some even say that it's terrorism in itself. You are not "freer", or whatever, than anyone else, you are the majority. We are not all brainwashed sheep trained to ride the president's dick, most of us disapprove of the administration and have a very cynical view of the government. And ESPECIALLY with the Mike Brown/Eric Garner situation, you really think anyone is showing American pride? Hell no. It's widely known that the government is full of a bunch of self-serving assholes, bribed by corporations, this is nothing new and certainly not a secret. People who disapprove of the government aren't some underground clubhouse, they are the vast majority of the country. And with so many problem with out country, from our massive debt of 18 trillion to the giant wealth gap of the 1% to problems with social security stability and healthcare coverage to prison overcrowding to our abysmal foreign policy, nobody is happy with the state of the country, CERTAINLY not worship, I should think.
He would likely say something about how the entire election was rigged given that he thinks politicians are stooges, and only there to provide an illusion of choice.

'It's called the American dream, because you have to be asleep to believe it'... Boom! FOR SURE!!!
"The American Cult of the Individual denies not just community, but the very idea of society. No one owes anything to anyone. All must be prepared to fight for everything : education ,shelter, food, medical care. What every prosperous and successful democracy deems to be fundamental rights - universal health care, equal access to quality public education, a social security safety net for the weak,elderly and infirmed - America dismisses as socialist indulgences, as if so many signs of weakness."- Wade Davis
Thank u George Carlin for your life, your laughter, and most of all your GODDAMN WISDOM!!!
Carlin speaks the truth, the sad sad truth about the United States, we all miss you, RIP Carlin, you will always be my favorite and I feel it was such an honor to see you perform live twice. Thanks for the memories.
RIP George. I heard this many years back when I was a teenager and it changed my view on the world. I would have said God bless you but I know where you stand on that so ... :)
George Carlin > Kevin Hart, Will Ferrel, Robbin Williams, Richard Pryor all combined
Kevin Hart is trash, doesn't even belong on that list you just put in
And Chris Rock
We have Jimmy Dore now. The new George Carlin.
This aged perfect, like fine wine.
my mind always comes back to this video.. It is always relevant
Yes
A true genius speaking the truth
I love this! Be informed people. Don't sacrifice your self respect for the system.
Truer words have never been spoken. This video should be a required presentation in all schools, at least once a week.
this is pure poetry and is so relevant today.
And the sad part is, all the people clapping are the ones who aren't going to do anything about it. They're clapping to feel good about it, but once they all left they just went back to their normal lives and didn't do anything different.
How true his words👉ITS A BIG CLUB AND YOU AIN’T IN IT...👍👏👏👏
"It's called The American Dream, because you have to be asleep to believe it"
The Shaper u can still move up people do it all the time but there is an oligarchy that control congress so at least they remain there ie oil companies
speaking the truth is the honorable thing to do but it can also shorten your life for some strange reason, george carlin, bill hicks, christopher hitchens would attest to that, ''if they weren't dead''.
The only thing that took ol George out was his coke habit in the 70's. I am surprised though. As much as he ran his mouth i cant believe he wasn't tagged and bagged back in the 90's.
Don't Forget Tupac, Michael Jackson, Steve Jobs, Joan Rivers And Many More.
@@makelpolk4470 Joan rivers died from malpractice, MJ was a drug addict, Tupac died by the sword he lived by, and Steve Jobs thought he was smarter than doctors, I'm not even sure why he is on this list, lol.
The Master......been telling the truth about politics, government, and "the system" for decades ....miss you George!
-Who really owns the country ?
-Highly influential people rarely end in jail.

Right on the money all the time. Miss you tons George
I miss Carlin so much. This guy sparked my mind at 11yrs old. Along with 9/11 happening I never saw the world the same again. Such a legend and such an influence in my life. Thank you for your service and honesty!!! Happy birthday and RIP
I own YOU 0:30
I am GœldmanSachS
I rule 99%
Nobody seems to care but there are people that know those things you said and have to live with that reality that kills them inside just that much more every day..i care and so do others like me i hope..its a shame we can't put our minds together to defeat this evil..
thanks for this, dan! carlin certainly was a great man. thanks a lot for the transcript too. it will no doubt save others from having to do the work themselves.
artists are our greatest truthtellers. they get away with it because they're just artists, and artistic expression isn't given proper respect. so they remain relatively obscure, as in carlin's own words: 'nobody seems to notice, nobody seems to care'.
of course a few of us do notice and do care, but we're far too few and far too weak. we are indeed nobodies.
Holy fuck. This was prophetic.
Mr. Carlin, so you're telling me that Donald Trump doesn't care about me?
yes... he does not give a fuck about you. and if you think he does you are an imbecile
Stephen Lococo lol.
+Visceral Abyss I'm definitely sure there wasn't
+ese grillo Donlald Trump have owner just lıke you,
+ese grillo No he didn't say that, he said " THEY DON'T GIVE A FUCK ABOUT YOU" and i think he made himself really clear
Sorely missed. Bill Hicks and George Carlin were my role models growing up. I was heart-broken (age 13) when Hicks died of pancreatic cancer but Carlin came in and lifted my 'spirits' and intellect. We miss you George =*(
+Ryan Swanson Same here man. Bill Hicks and George Carlin are my heroes too. They spoke the truth, brutal and straight.
We the people better wake up, stand together and break this system of control down before it crashes on us.
I'm totally with you... Hicks and Carlins words live forever
All the thumbs down are from the "Owners of This Country!"
What is funny is 270 idiots down-voted this! I guess those are the people he was talking about that "don't seem to notice, don't seem to care." George would have made a huge impact these past 10 years.
All hedge fund managers.
I'm glad you like this 3 minutes but Carlin's career was built on about a million minutes of genius.
Rarely do we come across someone with the balls to call things for what they are. Everyday, less and less people are able to express his/her ideas freely, without fear of being chastised, even to death. Political correctness is choking us, at the same time that the assholes in charge preach of democracy, freedom, justice and equality...and many still listen and believe their bullshit!
There's another name for the Big Club. It's called Reaganism
The fuck did Reagan have to do with this “big club?” You do understand conservatism means smaller government, right? Means you don’t have to go to jail for 20 years for over a pound of pot or whatever, because the peers going to your trial are truly your peers. That’s only an example. But having 20 lbs of pot and a badge is just fine? No wonder you’re voting for Biden-Harris or to the least endorsing that trash.
What he said back then is even more true today, in 2023. I bet 10 or 20 years from now, it would still ring a bell.
I don't agree when it comes to God. But man is he right when it comes to government issues. Great comedian.
same
Muff Diver Yes I am a Muslim & I believe in Allah which is the Arabic word for God the Lord of Abraham. Simple short reason is that there are too many signs such as the creation of Birds & how God created gravity & their wings for them to fly.
Muff Diver If that's what you wanna believe go ahead. I have my path & you have chosen yours. When we die we will know who is correct.
You don't trust out government, but you trust the education system telling you that bullshit?
Jayden Garcia The educational system is not what made me choose my religious beliefs/believing in God, that would be my free will & my intellect. You don't need much to look around at the creation of life to realize that there is a single Creator to all of this.
Well said...Truth was spoken.
Wow... I'v got a lot of respect for George Carlin now. What a great guy, tellin it like it is!
It's a sad day when politicians are telling the jokes and comedians are telling the truth.
No truer words have ever been spoken ...... THEY DON'T CARE , ALL THEY WANT IS YOU MONEY.
***** Rich people don't become politicians , they control them . There are about 8 or so family's in this world that CONTROL it all . They run the show
I remember thinking a lot of this starting happening in the 1980's. In North Carolina, we were know for making beautiful furniture. There were wonderful craftsmen all over the Western Part of the state where I grew up. Everyone knew someone in the furniture business. The people that worked in the plants were true craftsmen. And the hosiery mills made all the socks and all of these items were sent all over the country. Then one by one, they started sending all the work to China. People that had worked in these places made good money, had health insurance and some had even had stock in the companies. There are still a few left I guess, but not many. I remember when I was in my early 20's working at Sears. Back then, we even had stocks in the company and and when I sold anything I got a percentage of the sale. All of this is gone for the most part. My son, thankfully, is really a smart young man and became a computer engineer. That is in the Eastern part of the state. And my daughter works for a Chinese woman and makes good money working for her. She lived in China for a few years as a Designer. But the American Dream we once had is not the same.
This was good information based on your experiences, thanks. America had a prime but it's long gone. Freedom is one of the main things that's gone, look up 5G when you can. It is NOT just an upgrade from 4G. It's another thing that will heavily impact our freedom.
If only we could all understand how right he is, then we could free ourselves.
we miss you George

Words of Wisdom, still resonate well with the present situation we are in, even after all these years... What a great visionary... may his soul RIP..
I woke up to this reality in 2009 with the rise of the Tea Party. And believe me, I wish I hadn't. It's a miserable existence because, as Carlin said, "nobody seems to notice ... nobody seems to care".
Just can't wait until I can leave this country.
And go where? Just curious.
Terry Griffin I narrowed it down to Uruguay, Portugal, and Panama. All three governments actually do what the people elect them to do, instead of ignoring the masses and following the marching orders of the elite 1%.
Rodney Wollam yeah i dont third world countries are a good choice and portugal is in massive debt
America is a great place but we need to clear house dont leave stay and help fix the problems we have
cowards run and im sure thats not you
Tony Uruguay's actually got a pretty cool 1st world city in Montevideo. Some call it 'the Paris of South America'.
I probably won't leave until my house is paid off, in 2023. But, if the same thing happens in 2020 that happened in 2010 (leftists staying home cause it wasn't a Presidential election, effectively handing the right control of the House of Representatives for a decade), my decision will be sealed.
As it stands since 2010, those of us on the left who want to see a return to regulating union-busting business and their pollution, the repeal of Citizens United (and a dozen other onerous rulings from the bought and paid for USSC Five), and a well funded legal aid society- have barely been keeping our heads above water.
Rodney Wollam
oh your a left winger and im your opposite lol but please explain more by what you think or mean about the repeal of citizens united regulating unions ect
im lost by what you said lol
I agree with his assessment with one exception,
"You have no choice. "
There are always choices. It's just a matter of discovering what they are.
***** Like working to impeach a bad president. If Obama was really as bad as people say he is, why didn't they work harder to remove him from office?
+TheCoolProfessor Because of the media. The media is very capable of keeping people ignorant.
This is my choice....Leave this ridiculous Country.See you somewhere south of the border mi amigos.
Total anarchy?
Matt De Maeyer I don't see to many choices. And believe me I have been looking for.
This mere 3 mins. of video should be required viewing for every educated adult in the country.
I remember watching this as a kid and getting so damned mad at the truths he was speaking. It's gotten so much worse since he was around, it's disgusting.
This man makes me believe in humans somehow.Greatest comedian to ever live,smartest too hands down.
wow that is the most truthful interpretation of the way this world is
Now this is telling it like it is!!! R.I.P. George Carlin!!!
George Carlin simply describes capitalism in a nutshell.
It's not just captialism... history has shown the system is irrelevant.
It's the people at the top of the system... any system... they are human and can't be trusted.
Loves me some George Carlin ! This is one Observant Cat !! This rings true to this day ! Rest in Peace George ~ You are sorely missed my man ~
This man was a prophet...at the end of his life made millions of dollars he could have said a few funny lines and went home but he didn't he was trying to get through to us about what is really going on...listen,listen closely
Sad be true. I hate what has happened to my Country. But I love the people one day we will wake up and take it back.
No we won't. Don't be delusional. What world changing event is going to make the U.S. citizens take their country back? Nothing. This is the way it's gonna be in this country for as long the government continues to exist as it does.
Corey Rozenblat Well, there's always an Article V convention.
Christopher Stevenson lmao Article V? haha our government wipes it's ass with the constitution.
***** Um...no we don't worship government. Are you kidding? The entire nation thinks the government are a bunch of morons and incompetent idiots. This administration has been, statistically, the least productive America has ever seen. The president is useless, congress is a pile of shit, especially because it's now GOP controlled, and, in 2014, some state governments are still struggling with the basic human right of equality by rejecting gay marriage, not to mention abortion.That's why, last presidential election, the voter count was the lowest it's been since World War II: because we realize that we basically have a choice between one pile of shit or the other. Trust me, we don't worship the government, whatsoever. We resent, and borderline despise it.
I think you have the wrong idea. I'm not the minority at all. I'm the majority. There is widespread resentment towards the government throughout the nation. Those rallies you mentioned are attended by just that, dick-suckers, not the average American citizen. Who do you know that goes to those? I've never met anyone who does.
Benevolent government? Dogmatic devotion? You're joking right? Half the country hates the Obama administration. In fact, the approval rating is only 47%. You call that dogmatic devotion? Especially when you consider our totally unnecessary involvement in the middle-east which almost the entire country thinks is useless, some even say that it's terrorism in itself.
You are not "freer", or whatever, than anyone else, you are the majority. We are not all brainwashed sheep trained to ride the president's dick, most of us disapprove of the administration and have a very cynical view of the government. And ESPECIALLY with the Mike Brown/Eric Garner situation, you really think anyone is showing American pride? Hell no. It's widely known that the government is full of a bunch of self-serving assholes, bribed by corporations, this is nothing new and certainly not a secret. People who disapprove of the government aren't some underground clubhouse, they are the vast majority of the country. And with so many problem with out country, from our massive debt of 18 trillion to the giant wealth gap of the 1% to problems with social security stability and healthcare coverage to prison overcrowding to our abysmal foreign policy, nobody is happy with the state of the country, CERTAINLY not worship, I should think.
"it's called the American Dream,because you have to be asleep to believe it."
G. Carlin
Oh sitting in 2020 and he is so right. The pensions are spent. What's next. (RIP)
" Question Everything." George Carlin
This is the greatest 3 minutes ever put up on YT . Thanks George RIP .
Good Morning USA!
Recap day! ;) ouch , I picked up the flag. ; /
George reminds me so much of Lenny Bruce!
Thank you very much for standing up to the real owners George is talking about in this video
We miss you G.C. !
And yet there are too many people who are happy to be asleep so long as its their team reading them the lullaby.
Well said, it’s all about tribalism now.
Spot on. We miss you George.
I wonder what he would think of Trump and Hillary.
he would probably think they're a match made in hell
He would likely say something about how the entire election was rigged given that he thinks politicians are stooges, and only there to provide an illusion of choice.
+Chance Phillips you nailed it politicians are appointed countries are businesses democracies are just a facade
I'm pretty sure he just stated it.
I think he pretty much made it clear as day
Good lord I miss this man. I really think he was shut up 10/20 years early bc too many ppl were listening to him. Call it conspiratorial thinking but whatever...he was dangerous, LOVED HIM!!! Coronavirus and government response would have given him SO much material!!
Jim breuer is killing it on that front. If you haven't, I highly reccomend checking out the last couple specials. They're free on his UA-cam page. One is "somebody has to say it" or something along those lines
@@denniskastner9185 hey, Dennis, I’ve seen him👍👍 Love all the shit about COVID and NWO that he’s been doing. Hopefully, he’ll be with us awhile.
@@pugilemoltobene3708 thanks for the reply! Glad to hear you already heard him. I listen to him, Dave Landau, norm macdonald, James Gregory and Tim Wilson a lot. Adam Carolla has been on the ball lately as well
@@pugilemoltobene3708 hope you and yours are doing well with all of the craziness around. Try to keep smiling and know that you're not alone. Greater is He who is in me than he who's in the world
@@denniskastner9185 Hey Dennis, Adam Corolla has been on it for many years! Norm was a genius - he’s definitely flyin high with those angels!
The entire bit is even better, 11 minutes long and relentless. The title of the entire piece is "Dumb Americans", and it's my personal favorite. Great upload!
i like how this has half a million views while some horrible "artist" like miley cyrus has tens of millions of views. ridiculous. i used to be happy. then i woke up.
I know, I have the same sickness...
OLIGARCHY, thy name is the USA . . .
Really hitting home today...
obedient workers. well said. sad but i am one of them. fuck
