George Carlin: Gun Nuts & The NRA

[Initech]

Oh if only we had him right now.

1. They'd crucify Carlin....

just like they do with many other comedians today. They'd brand him as un-American, a "leftist", a communist sympathizer, a drug addled fool, and many of the other choice descriptions they give to people they don't understand. Carlin wouldn't stand for it though. He'd give it back to them just as good or better than they gave it to him. He was no weak-kneed liberal.

2. I don't understand this "Un-American" thing.

If an Italian was anti-pasta, they wouldn't call him "Un-Italian". If a Canadian doesn't like snow or hockey, they don't call him "Un-Canadian". Where did this "Un-American" meme come from?

6. Republicans.....

when they "branded" American patriotism and claimed it as their own. Now they won't let anyone else claim to be a "real American" without paying royalty fees.

3. didn't really like the "fruity" thing. The rest of it was great

4. Ask the Las Vegas victims what they think of LaPierre; and what they intend to do about him

5. If he was still around

he would say to all of us, I told you so!!!!

he had his finger on the pulse of the US then.
