with more vehemence than I have ever heard, say, Democratic leaders defend it.

"If we're the greatest country on earth, maybe we can have the greatest government."

11. From that angle (distance) Lewis looks like he could take on the role of Vince Lombardi

We get a seal HERE and HERE....

12. I need more Lewis Black today.

When the shit gets this deep, there's nothing like Lewis Black to put it all angrily into perspective. "What the FUCK is wrong with "Government"? God, I'm sick of hearing that stupid shit from conservatives--they're like broken records. Robots. Drones. Stepford Americans.

16. Nothing better than knowing there is someone out there who can

so eloquently put into spoken word, EXACTLY what we are thinking. It reminds me that I'm not going insane, just the world.

13. a true patriot is one who works for the government

and does a good job because it is the right thing to do, because it improves the lives of others.

All these right wing nutjobs who scream America First, America - love it or leave it, are just slinging slogans and probably never see the big picture: we all do better when we all do better.

20. My takeaway line:

"We're the greatest country in the world...maybe we should have the greatest government!"

AMEN AND HALLELUJAH.

Lewis Black, sir, you are a national treasure. :patriot:
