Bill Maher Schools A Republican On Mixing God And Politics



In this clip from last night’s Real Time with Bill Maher, he absolutely shreds a Republican strategist’s defense of FOX’s decision to invoke God in Thursday’s GOP debates, when Megyn Kelly played a Facebook clip of a viewer, asking what God has told the candidates to fix first in our nation.

“Is that an appropriate question for a debate?” asks Maher incredulously. “For me, that was the most cringe-worthy and uncomfortable part of the debate” responds one of his guests. “Have you ever heard a question like that, and would there ever be a question like that asked in a Democratic debate?” asks Mary Matalin, a Republican strategist who clearly thought that the question belonged in Democratic debates.

“NO! Because they’re more rational!” erupts Maher, who is cut off by a shrill outburst of “THEY WERE ASKED A QUESTION!” from Matalin. “But they [Democrats] would never ask that question. They would put aside all the coocoo questions because they’d like global warming and real problems!”

He’s absolutely right. Why the GOP feels the need to continually play into the fanciful delusions of Ted Cruz’s private conversations with God is beyond any comprehension.

Ted Cruz's life, let alone his political campaign?

This is why Catholics view protestantism as heresy. Protestants think god is a lifestyle councilor who talks to them and leaves them paste it notes on their refrigerators telling them how to set their daily priorities.

If the christian god was real and spoke to you, the one and only thing he would say to you is, "Yo bro, the world is ending now and you are FUCKED !!"

4. But Glen Beck tells me to buy gold, who should I believe?

I can't believe anyone would really believe gold will be valuable after an apocalypse. Why? If anyone thinks I would trade food or water for gold they have another think coming.

5. If he didn't tell you to buy bullets, it must actually be Satan

God would remind you that if you have enough ammo, you can take the whiskey, cigarettes and gold from the godless liberals.

No, really, I haven't seen it, I have seen other zombie shows though over the years. Seen one seen them all is my feeling about zombies.

As for gold, there is no way hoarding it for a disaster makes sense.
