I don't get all choked up about yellow ribbons and American flags. I don't believe in any of them.Īnd I have to tell you, folks, I don't really believe very much in my country either. And neither do I believe anything I'm told by the media, who, in the case of the Gulf War, functioned as little more than unpaid employees of the Defense Department, and who, most of the time, operate as unofficial public relations agency for the government and industry. Government, Police, clergy, the corporate criminals. My first rule: Never believe anyone in authority says. Not me, There are certain rules I observe. You see, I've got this real moron thing I do, it's called 'Thinking' And I guess I'm not a very good American, because I like to form my own opinions I don't just roll over when I'm told. Now you folks might have noticed, I don't feel about that Gulf War the way we were instructed to feel about it by the United States government. I'm still waiting for the day we bomb the English. Even those Serbs we bombed in Yugoslavia aren't really white, are they? Naaah! They're sort of down near the swarthy end of the white spectrum. And not because they're cutting in our action we do it because they're brown. And that was only because they were tryin' to cut in on our action. Well, who were the last white people you can remember that we bombed? In fact, can you remember any white people we ever bombed? The Germans! That's it. You got some brown people in your country? Tell 'em to watch the fuck out, or we'll goddamn bomb them! But it's also our new job in the world: bombing brown people. Oh, we like that, don't we? That's our hobby now.
GEORGE CARLIN YOUTUBE FUCK FULL
We can bomb the shit outta your country.Įspecially if your country is full of brown people. But we can bomb the shit outta your country, all right.
GEORGE CARLIN YOUTUBE FUCK TV
Can't make a TV set, a cell phone, or a VCR. And it's just as well we are, because we're not very good at anything else. We average a major war every twenty years, So we're good at it. This country is only 200 years old, and already we've had ten major wars. You know why we're good at it? Because we get a lot of practice. We enjoy war.Īnd one reason we enjoy it is that we're good at it. We couldn't wait for the Cold War to end so we could climb into the big Arab sandbox and play with our nice new toys. We can't stand not to be fucking with someone. And that makes sense, because we like war. And even though the TV show consisted largely of Pentagon war criminals displaying maps and charts, it got very good ratings.
As far as I’m concerned, all of this airport security, all the searches, the screenings, the cameras, the questions, it’s just one more way of reducing your liberty, and reminding you that they can f*ck with you anytime they want… as long as you put up with it… as long as you put up with it which means of course anytime they want, cause that’s what Americans do now, they’re always willing to trade away a little of their freedom in exchange for the feeling, the illusion of security.Let me tell you what I liked about that Gulf War: it was the first war that appeared on every television channel, including cable. And they certainly don’t recognize a good show when they see one! I have always been willing to put myself at great personal risk for the sake of entertainment and I’ve always been willing to put you at great personal risk for the same reason. Yeah… but I also know that most Americans are soft and frightened and unimaginative and they don’t realize there’s such a thing as dangerous fun.
I think the very idea that you could set off a bomb in a marketplace and kill several hundred people is exciting and stimulating and I see it as a form of entertainment! Entertainment… that’s all it is.
