Here’s a mega George Carlin quote from two years ago…try to think of who today has the balls/platform to say this to millions of people.

“There’s a reason why education sucks and it’s the same reason why it will never, ever, ever, ever be fixed. It’s never gonna get any better – don’t look for it – be happy with what you got. Because the owners of this country don’t want that – I’m talking about the real owners now – the big wealthy business interests that control things and make all the important decisions. Forget the politicians.

“Politicians are put there to give you the idea that you have freedom of choice… YOU DON’T. You have no choice. You have owners. THEY OWN YOU… THEY OWN EVERYTHING. They own all the important land, they own and control the corporations, they’ve long since bought and paid for the senate, the congress, the state houses, the city halls, they got the judges in their back pockets, and they own all the big media companies, so they control just about all the news and information you get to hear. THEY GOT YOU BY THE BALLS.

“They spend billions of dollars every year lobbying to get what they want. Well, we know what they want. They want more for themselves, and less for everybody else, but I’ll tell you what they don’t want. They don’t want a population of citizens capable of critical thinking. They don’t want well informed, well educated people capable of critical thinking. They’re not interested in that. That doesn’t help them. That’s against their interests. They don’t want people who are smart enough to sit around the kitchen table and figure out how badly they’re getting fucked by a system that threw them overboard thirty fuckin’ years ago. They don’t want that.

“You know what they want? They want obedient workers. OBEDIENT WORKERS. People who are just smart enough to run the machines and do the paperwork, and just dumb enough to passively accept all these increasingly shittier jobs with the lower pay, the longer hours, the reduced benefits, the end of overtime, and the vanishing pension that disappears the minute you go to collect it.

“And now they’re coming for your social security money. They want your fuckin’ retirement money. They want it back so they can give it to their criminal friends on Wall Street. And you know something? They’ll get it. They’ll get it ALL from you – sooner or later – cuz they own this fuckin place. It’s a big club, and you ain’t in it. You and I are not in the big club. By the way, it’s the same big club they use to beat you over the head with all day long when they tell you what to believe. All day long, beating you over the head with their media, telling you what to believe, what to think, and what to buy…

“The table is tilted, folks. The game is rigged. And nobody seems to notice, nobody seems to care… Good, honest, hard-working people – white collar, blue collar, it doesn’t matter what color shirt you have on – Good, honest, hard-working people continue – and these are people of modest means – continue to elect these rich cock-suckers who don’t give a fuck about them. They don’t give a fuck about you. They don’t give a fuck about you. They don’t CARE about you – AT ALL! AT ALL! AT ALL!

“And nobody seems to notice, nobody seems to care. That’s what the owners count on. The fact that Americans will probably remain willfully ignorant of the big Red, White and Blue dick thats being jammed up their assholes every day. Because the owners of this country know the truth. It’s called the American Dream – because you have to be asleep to believe it…”

RIP George Carlin!
You were a Ledgend!!!

I already knew he was an atheist when I wrote the post. Doesnt mean I am.

And if you were paying attention you would know that if he is “up there” already then our prayers are not going to do a thing for him.

Nice! Way to pay attention! I bet he’s up there right now, just waiting to hear our prayers! Me first!!!!!

Give ‘em hell Carlin give ‘em hell.

I guess he would know one way or the other by now.

Coke came out my nose Rodney (the sugary liquid kind, not the drug), thank you:) I think Mr Carlin would have found that funny too.
