He is discribing himself

"I LOVE DEAD KENNEDY'S"

Speak for yourself, cause you are in no way speaking for me, or I imagine, anyone else that inhabits this website.  Why someone like this moron hates the only country that would tolerate his tired act is beyond my understanding, I'm glad I don't subscribe to HBO.

You know Bill Maher says things like this because he is out of touch; he doesn't associate with "real Americans" and he wants us to be exactly like Europe.

Hey Bill, I'm sure you can do your show from France...get the hell out of our country!

It is far better to be three hours early than one minute late.

Noel, what on earth are you going on about?

Nixon went to China and had lunch with Mao.

Reagan went to Berlin and gave a speech about tearing down a wall..then went home and hired a contractor..

Everyone knows that Al Gore invented the "internet", it's been repeated on this site several times.

The computer was invented by Charles Babbage.

So what have you done lately?

I finally got it to work...only thing he said that made me grin was the possibility of him being fired again if we had another terrorist attack.

Doubling down on stupid is not a particularly good idea. ~Andrew Breitbart

Bill Maher was a third rate stand-up comic and he's a third rate wannabe pundit.

Unfortunatly this is the same mentality that sparked the "For the first time in my life I am proud to be an American" statement. There are a class of people in this country that just do not understand that the very fact that they can continually complain and lambast their own country is the very reason they should be proud of it. Quit trying to emulate countries that would have collapsed years ago had it not been for us, economically or militarily. Had it not been for the freedoms and way of life they continually try to destroy they would not exist as who they are today.

Now can we all calm down and have a moment of silence for Mr. Maher....what? not yet?.....dang

Completely agree with his analogy of MJ = USA, though it would have been perfect had Jackson been 100 lbs. overweight.

As to America accomplishing nothing, au contraire.

It has, over thousands of liberal steps, stolen the liberty of its citizens and created a nation with millions of helpless, government-dependent minions.

Maher says we haven't accomplished anything fantastic since 1969.  Well, I wonder if it has anything to do with the countries leaders promoting atheism, socialism, immorality, death (abortion), political correctness (immunity from dissent), illegal immigration, disproportionate immigration from one particular country (Mexico. thus we inherit Mexican ways of life), feminazism (kids are now raised by liberal/socialist teachers and not parents), homosexuality, promiscuity of adolescents, I could go on.  Liberalism has ruined our country.

Atleast conservatives are TRYING to make the country a better place and strive to keep this the World's best country to live in.  It still is but if liberals have their way, it might not be in the future. 

  Bill Maher is right if he is speaking for himself.  Remember the old picture "this is your brain" and "this is your brain on drugs"?  For Bill Maher, those are the same pictures.

"What experience and history teach is
this - that people and governments never have learned anything from history,
or acted on principles deduced from it."

G. W. F. Hegel

Maher's comment reminds me of the story about the time the Lone Ranger and Tonto were surrounded by a host of Indians.

The Lone Ranger says to his faithful companion, "Looks like were done for, Tonto."

Tonto replies, "What do you mean we?"

So, Bill, I repeat. What do you mean WE?

'In Maher's view, America has accomplished nothing since July 20, 1969.'

 "and I can't think of any ambitious goal we've reached since then"

He didn't say the America has accomplished nothing since 1969, he said that America hasn't set or reached any ambitious goal since the moon landing. To some extent he is right. If a president proclaimed that by the end of the decade we will use 50% less oil as a nation, or that by the end of the decade we will send a man to Mars that would be a ambitious goal. 

To achieve something nobody thought was possible, something no other nation had done.

A president didn't set a goal to create a personal computer, or proclaim that the world wide web made available to regualr folks.

Destroying the Soviet Union was accomplished by the work of Democratic and Republican presidents since the beginning of the Cold War. Reagan didn't single handily do it by himself, he was in office at the right time. 

We haven't achieved anything since 1969? Really? Let's see.

By far, not a complete list but just a few that popped into my head:

• the development of GPS by the Department of Defense throughout the 60s, 70s, and 80s until its public release in 1995.

• further development of fiber optics throughout the 70s which, for the
  first time, allowed the transfer of sound and video and in turn
  transformed telecommunications around the world.

• hepatitis B virus vaccine

• invention of the microprocessor

• invention of the floppy disk

• invention of the PC

• the first digital camera

• the launch of the space shuttle

• development of the first TCP/IP network in '83 and its commercial
  release in '85 which gave way for what we know today as the Internet

• invention of voicemail

• invention of the ethernet

• tivo (!!!)

• the first video came console

• invention of e-mail

• javascript

• and my personal favorite: Google (i know they didn't invent anything per se but picture a world without Google)

Imagine the world without a few of these.

I'm missing a bunch but that's beside the point. To say the people of
the United States haven't achieved anything since the Moon landing is
absurd and comical at the same time.

The US has remained an economic and political superpower since the turn of the century. I
would insist that is an achievement in and of itself. We have been a
noble nation throughout history and we are the most charitable country
in the world. Have we made mistakes? Absolutely, and many. What country
hasn't? What good does it do to focus on them? The good we have done
for the world is much more powerful and much more significant than the
shameful mistakes we have done in the past.

I never in my life have watched his show - I am now to understand he has a "serious Jerry Springer commentary" where he gets important and speaks to the camera?

...projecting the misery of their lives onto the rest of us. Can't they all just move to France and shut up? Makes me want to puke...

Why would anyone take his word on anything?

The Playboy mansion has never seen a more frequent visitor in its history let alone that besides hit hatred for American values he has a disdain for anyone who has a belief in God.

Bill Maher is one of those many special persons in America who can describe in detail what the inside of their rectum looks like.

Maher: "I can't think of any ambitious goal we've reached since then..."

Nothing? Why, we just elected the first African American president, is all! A messiah, no less. And that first African American president, that Maher wanted so badly, has almost accomplished his goal of enacting a poisonous socialist agenda in record time, that is well on it's way of draining this country of any kind of a future, while the media, who that first African American president has made his personal political staff, have set around and marveled at his feat. Can't think of anything, indeed.
