I got the shit slapped outta me when I wouldn't eat the nasty sourkraut and was told of the "starving little kids in Lapland" to which I honestly and with a giving heart asked, "can we mail this to Lapland?"

I think Maher is fully awake now. He makes too much sense too often not to be. He still mixes in a lot of leftist bullshit but I think most of that is to keep his credibility up with the left.

Patton Oswald is a typical Hollywood liberal living in a bubble, as Maher says, and who is perfectly happy knowing only what he can see and hear in his bubble. He also thinks he is intelligent which means he can't be ignorant - in his mind. Aristotle had a word for it, which escapes me at the moment. He wrote about intelligent people who become dumb willingly because they refuse to accept any facts but those they know and believe to be true. I disagree with Aristotle in the sense that truly intelligent people seek facts and truth. It is called intellectual curiosity. You don't have to be intelligent to ignore the facts. So many liberals fall into this category. They refuse to accept more information that might conflict with what they believe. That's the bubble Maher is talking about. With liberals, they are so determined to remain ignorant, the wish to silence those that are trying to educate them.
