"There might be one thing you've noticed I don't complain about: politicians. Everybody complains about politicians. Everyone says they suck. Well where do people think these politicians come from? They don't fall out of the sky. They don't pass through a membrane from another reality. They come from American parents and American families, American homes, American schools, American churches, American businesses, and American universities, and they're elected by American citizens. This is the best we can do, folks. This is what we have to offer. Its what our system produces. Garbage in, garbage out. If you have selfish, ignorant citizens, you're going to have selfish, ignorant leaders. Term limits ain't gonna do ya any good, you're only gonna wind up with another bunch of selfish, ignorant Americans. So maybe, maybe, maybe its not the politicians who suck. Maybe something else sucks around here? Like the public!... Because if it's really the fault of all these politicians, where are the bright, honest, intelligent Americans ready to step in and save the nation and lead the way? We don't have people like that in this country... FUCK HOPE!"-- George Carlin

He's a guy in a suit who obviously works in an office. And I say he's not a terrorism expert. You wanna know who's a terrorism expert? Osama bin Laden, Ayman al-Zawahiri. The people they hang around with. Those are the terrorism experts. Has this guy in the suit ever blown anyone up? No. So why say he's a terrorism expert?"-- George Carlin

It wasn't their land to begin with, they stole it from the Indians."--George Carlin

"There's really no harm reviewing the past from time to time; knowing where you've been is part of knowing where you are, and all that happy horeshit.
