1. That's it, in a nutshell.
George could cut right through the crap, couldn't he?

6. George Carlin always was, and always will be, a genius and wizard with words.
HE got them "pro-lifers" pegged perfectly.

7. One of the wisest and most honest people we ever had.
He actually got people to come out and listen to the truth being told.

(how many can say that?)

8. I used to be the chapter chair of a Right to Life chapter.
What George Carlin said was not universally true when he first said that. The people who volunteered as Right to Lifers also volunteered for Meals on Wheels, at school, donated time and money to homeless shelters and in daycare centers.

Generally speaking, generalizations are not always accurate. At least that used to be true. Now, I dunno. I was brought up by a dad who said that all Christians were stupid or hypocrites or both, so when I rebelled against my parents in the 1980s I became a conservative. Maybe dad wasn't so wrong.

9. And now you're here.
Congratulations. You can use your own mind.

I've learned, after being on this forum a while, to be careful about generalizations. I still tend to make many broad sweeping statements.

11. They don't want to hear from you until military age...
Then they think you're just fine! Just what they've been looking for.

Conservatives want live babies so they can turn them into dead soldiers.
