George Carlin, a Genial Comedian

The most genial comedian was George Carlin. His ingenious pistol delivery of truthful political commentary was unmatched by any comedian before and since.

No topic was off the table:

1.      “Save the planet, save the trees” – the motto of the people who do not know how to save themselves, much less the planet. The planet is fine, it has been here for four and a half billion years; it is the people who are not fine.

2.       Tired of Earth Day and sanctimonious environmentalists, “white bourgeois liberals.” They only care about a safe, clean place to live for their families. They don’t want a wall around the southern border to stop illegal immigration, they want a tall wall around their homes.

3.       Tired of bicycle paths that seldom anybody uses.

4.       Humans have been here for 100,000 years; are we putting the planet in jeopardy? We are putting the wallets of middle class in jeopardy, forced to drive tin cans, exposed to geoengineering, eating fake meat, sweat in their homes, all in a bogus effort to “save the planet,” an effort which benefits the climate change industry.

5.       The planet survived through “volcanoes, earthquakes, plate tectonics, continental drifts, solar flares, sunspots, magnetic storms, magnetic reversal of the poles, hundreds of years of bombardment by asteroids, comets, meteors, worldwide floods, tidal waves, worldwide fires, land and oceanic erosion, cosmic rays, and recurring ice ages.” Plastic bags, straws, and aluminum cans are going to have an influence?

6.  The planet will be fine long after we are gone and there will be nothing left behind of us, “maybe a little Styrofoam.” We are just a surface nuisance in the grand scheme of the planet’s survival.

Seven offensive words banned the genial George Carlin from radio and television. After that, he performed on cable and in clubs where FCC rules did not apply.

Today those words that got George Carlin banned are found in many lyrics of ghetto rap music, music that Americans of all stripes play in their cars and as entertainment everywhere.
