Real Time With Bill Maher: Oliver Stone (2010)

Real Time With Bill Maher_ Oliver Stone (2010)Source:Real Time With Bill Maher– I think Bill Maher trying to take Oliver Stone seriously.

You can also see this post at FreeState MD, on Blogger.

“Oliver Stone tries to enlighten Bill Maher, on the Israeli Flotilla raid, and how AIPAC really controls congress as a foreign agent unduly influencing American politics. Bill Maher knows which side his bread is buttered on, and sticks to the Israeli propaganda he has been paid to deliver via HBO. Open Hood”

Bill Maher said something to the affect in this video, “that we need a good conspiracy theory”, or, “does anyone have a good conspiracy theory?” And I’m thinking as I heard that, Oliver Stone was sitting right next to him on this show. The man whose made a career out of conspiracy theories. Go back to 1991 with JFK about the JFK assassination and perhaps Platoon, that was about the Vietnam War.

And in this video which I’m guessing is at least a few years old, because they were talking about Hugo Chavez as if he was still alive. Chavez has been dead for two years.

Bill Maher likes to talk about what he calls the “Crazy Left.” I tend to call them the Far-Left, but Senator Bernie Sanders is pretty Far-Left as a Democratic Socialist and has economic policies that I don’t agree with and has a much larger role for government, especially the Federal Government than I do. But Bernie Sanders (generally speaking, is not crazy.

But Senator Sanders, doesn’t throw out conspiracy theories for the most part and say things like America and Israel are in to wiping out the Palestinians and want to occupy Iraq indefinitely because they want the oil.

So maybe Crazy Left will be what I call our Left-Wing, well characters lets say to be nice. Because there are good, rational, intelligent

ABC Sports: NFL 1983-Week 1 MNF-Dallas Cowboys @ Washington Redskins: Highlights

Posted on April 6, 2015 by Erik Schneider

dallas vs washington 83Source:ABC Sports– Cowboys WR Tony Hill was a Redskins killer. This game was no exception.

“Dallas vs Washington 83. MNF Cowboys Comack.”

From Niewy 25

This is a follow piece, from an earlier piece, about this game, on The New Democrat .

“Danny White passed for three second-half touchdowns and ran for another to rally Dallas from a 23-3 halftime deficit to beat the defending Super Bowl champions. The Cowboys compiled only 85 first-half yards, but exploded for 271 in the final two quarters. White completed bombs of 75 and 51 yards to Tony Hill to put the Cowboys within striking distance. His 1-yard TD run 2:35 into the final quarter put Dallas up 24-23. Joe Theismann tried to rally Washington, but Ron Fellows’ 33-yard interception return set up Doug Cosbie’s 1-yard scoring catch two plays later to clinch the game.”

Cowboys-Redskins

If I’m a network TV sports executive and I got Monday Night Football on my network, I think this would be the dream matchup to have to open the new Monday Night Football season. Because the Cowboys-Redskins at this point in the NFL, you’re talking about the best current rivalry in the NFL. The two best teams in the National Football Conference, if not the NFL.

They hate each other and yet respect each other. NFC East, which can be said about each team in that division, but even more so with the Cowboys-Redskins rivalry. So back then you were always talking about great football games, because both teams were good every year, both teams were very physical on both sides of the ball and they literally hated, but respected each other.

Now how about this game: the two teams from the 1982 NFC Final. The Redskins not only won the NFC, but dominated the Miami Dolphins on both sides of the ball in Super Bowl 17 to win their first Super Bowl. Tom Landry, the first or second best head coach in the NFL at this point. Only Don Shula might have been better at this point.

Joe Gibbs, the best young head coach in the NFL at this point and already considered a genius at least on offense. Going into 83, the Redskins looked like the favorites to not only get back to the Super Bowl, but win their second straight. The Cowboys lost the last three NFC Finals with Danny White as their quarterback and looking to not only get back, but get back to the Super Bowl. And they still had a very good team.

So this was like a week-one Super Bowl, in prime time, on ABC and ABC Sports had the best football show back then. The NFL and perhaps college football as well. Frank Gifford calling the game with Don Meredith as the lead analyst, which he was great at and had a great sense of humor as well. Howard Cosell, providing the comedic, fans, point of view for this game. And he was also pretty knowledgable about football and certainly knew what he was talking about.

The game played in the nation’s capital in Washington at RFK Stadium. The stadium rocking and crazy like it always was, especially in prime time and for rival games like against the Cowboys, New York Giants, Philadelphia Eagles. This was the perfect way to kick off an NFL season.

The McLaughlin Group: 10/03/03: No WMD in Iraq

Posted on April 6, 2015 by kireschneider

.

Eleanor Clift, nailed it early on in this show when she said the War in Iraq was over soled and the evidence going in never justified for the War in Iraq. She makes this seven months after the War in Iraq was launched in March, 2003. Remember, the original justification for the War in Iraq was to eliminate weapons of mass destruction from Iraq and get them out of the Saddam Hussein Regime. And then they don’t find them. The reason and evidence for the War in Iraq was never there.

Neoconservatives in and out of the Bush Administration blew this story and war from day one and they haven’t gotten any better. And why the Republican Party is struggling so much at the presidential level and even within their own party. With Conservatives, “saying America shouldn’t try to police the world and that we should even be fiscally conservative with the defense budget and not run up our debt and deficits with the military budget.’ To Neoconservatives still saying, “that we should spend whatever takes to police the world. Because no one else will and debts and deficits don’t matter to begin with.”

As far as the Joe Wilson story. I just wish this was as big as a story in 2003-04, as it was in 2005-06 and John Kerry beats President Bush by winning both Ohio and Florida. Had this story broke in 2001 or 02 and then continued to grow instead of late 2003, I think President Bush would’ve been in huge trouble going into the fall of 2004. In a lot of way George W. Bush is one of the luckiest politicians who has ever lived. Because even with all the obvious mistakes he and his administration made in their eight years, the Democratic Party for the most part was never in strong enough position to take advantage of them. In his first term, but in his second term they came together and went to work politically on the Bush Administration and scored a lot of points.

ABC Sports: NFL 1985-Week 13-MNF-Chicago Bears @ Miami Dolphins: Full Game

Posted on April 5, 2015 by Derik Schneider

Forget about the records with the Bears being 12-0 and obviously the best all around team in the NFL in 1985. And the Dolphins being 7-5 at this point, I believe fighting for the AFC East Championship, or make it as an AFC wildcard. This was a great matchup and one of the best NFL Monday Night Football games of all-time. Even with Joe Namath and O.J. Simpson in the booth with the great Frank Gifford. Instead of Don Meredith and Keith Jackson, or Al Michaels and Dan Dierdorf. Because of the style both teams played and what they were great at. And that the Dolphins might have been the only team in the NFL in 85 that had the personal and head coach to beat the Bears.

The only way you beat the Bears that season was to have a great big quarterback, with a strong accurate throwing arm, with a quick release. They had that with Dan Marino, obviously and perhaps the best NFL QB in the game at this point. But then you also needed multiple receivers who were quick and had great hands. The Dolphins had that with Mark Duper, Mark Clayton and Nat Moore. And then throw in Tony Nathan out of the backfield. And then you needed a great pass protecting offensive line. That was quick and not only being able to take care of their man, but get to blitzers as well. The Dolphins had that as well.

If this was the Super Bowl matchup in 85. The Bears would’ve won and perhaps had won going away. Not 46-10, which is how the beat the New England Patriots. But 35-17, 35-21, something like that. The Bears would’ve adjusted on defense and not of blitzed as much. And they would’ve had Jim McMahon at QB instead of Steve Fuller. But the Dolphins would’ve still moved the ball well enough to make a decent game out of it. Because they would’ve been able to spread the Bears out on defense and get rid of the ball quickly and utilize all of their receivers. And hit Tony Nathan for short gains after their big plays. Because the Bears secondary didn’t have a lot of speed. And the linebackers weren’t great cover defenders either.

CBS Sports: NFL 1985- Week 15- Chicago Bears @ New York Jets: 1st Quarter

Source:CBS Sports

A great week 15 matchup even though it was an inter-conference matchup between the Bears and Jets. The Bears were 15-1 in the 1985 regular season and the Jets were 11-5. The Jets, Los Angeles Raiders and perhaps the Cleveland Browns were the top three underachievers of the NFL in the 1980s, at least in the AFC. You could argue that even though the Bears won Super Bowl 20 and won an NFC Championship and played in three NFC Finals in the 1980s, they or the Raiders were the biggest underachievers of that decade.

Because as dominate as the Raiders were in 1985 they almost looked mediocre at least in comparison for the rest of that decade. The Raiders won two Supers Bowls in the 1980s. But continued to have great talent throughout that decade and yet were barely a playoff team after they won Super Bowl 18 in 84. But the Jets were just as good talent wise as the Raiders and Bears on both offense and defense from 81-82, until 86. And only played in one conference championship. When they lost to an inferior Miami Dolphins team in 1982. This was a great matchup on paper, but a battle of underachievers, in the Bears-Jets.

Public Resource: Longines Chronoscope- Senator Joseph McCarthy (1952)

Posted on April 5, 2015 by Rik Schneider

9203

Source:Public Resource– U.S. Senator Joseph McCarthy (Republican, Wisconsin) on CBS News Longines Chronoscope, in 1952.

“LONGINES CHRONOSCOPE WITH SEN. JOSEPH R. MC CARTHY – National Archives and Records Administration 1952-06-25 – ARC Identifier 95766 / Local Identifier LW-LW-114 – TELEVISION INTERVIEW: William Bradford Huie and Donald I. Rogers talk with Sen. McCarthy on presidential and senatorial campaigns in Wisconsin, his book McCarthyism – The Fight for America, and exposure of “communists and crooks” in the federal government. DVD copied by IASL Master Scanner Katie Filbert.”

From Public Resource

This is 1952, so the Democrat Party still controls Congress, (House and Senate) as well as The White House with President Harry Truman. Republicans won a clean sweep in 1952 and won back the White House and both chambers of Congress. Which meant Senator Joe McCarthy would become Chairman of the Government Oversight Committee in the next Congress in 1953.

The Army-McCarthy hearings got started in 1953, because Congressional Republicans won back Congress in 1952. And Senator McCarthy was essentially able to put Congress through hell in 1953 and up to 1954, before he was censured in 1954, because of his handling of these hearings, when the American people and Senate Republicans along with Democrats got tired of Chairman McCarthy and his McCarthyism hearings. And they shut him down.

As far as Corliss LaMont with the American Labor Party: he was a Democratic Socialist, but further Left then Norman Thomas, who ran for President several times for the Socialist Party. Norman Thomas was a Democratic Socialist in the European sense combining private enterprise with democratic socialism and the welfare state. Corliss LaMont wanted government owning and operating the business sector, as well as the social welfare sector, making him a Communist.

Bob Parker: ABC News 45-85- Communism on The March

Posted on April 5, 2015 by Erik Schneider
Edward R. Murrow

Source:Bob Parker– Longtime CBS News anchor Edward R. Murrow.

“”45/85 Part 3 an ABC News television documentary. It aired on September 18, 1985. The three-hour program combined archive film and television footage with new interviews to document post-World War II history, focusing especially on the Cold War. Hosted by Ted Koppel and Peter Jennings. Birth of Israel, baby boom, German Blockade, Red scare, Hess vs. Chambers.”

From Bob Parker

Without the creation of NATO the North Atlantic Treaty Organization that is responsible for the security of North America and Europe and Europe primarily, Germany would’ve been occupied by either the United States or Soviet Union. And perhaps still occupied by America or Russia today unless some other agreement or arrangement was put in place to protect Germany from some new authoritarian regime coming him to replace the Nazis.

But NATO was created, but instead of having a United Federal Germany, Germany was split up with a Federal Republic in the West and a Communist Republic in the East. Until they reunified in 1989 and now there’s one Federal Republic of Germany. That is the economic and perhaps now even the diplomatic power of Europe. With the fourth largest economy in the world and the only large European state with a strong vibrant economy today. All of the other big Euro states are dealing with high debts, deficits, recessions, high unemployment and growing poverty.

What NATO did along with the European Union and the Marshall Plan was give Europe a chance to breathe and catch its breath and rebuild themselves. Without having to worry about some new civil war breaking out or some new authoritarian regime emerging in Western Europe and give the Europe the ability to develop. And not just rebuild themselves from World War II, but develop themselves and develop their economies and diplomatic relations, people and rebuild their militaries.

And what happened as a result was a free social democratic Europe in the West that was thriving. And a totalitarian, authoritarian, suffocating, Russia in the East. Where people would literally escape from their own countries.

The McLaughlin Group: Martin O’Malley vs. Hillary Clinton

Source:The McLaughlin Group

As far as Martin O’Malley beating Hillary Clinton next year, no one is expecting him to do that. But plenty of upsets have happened inside of the Democratic Party during presidential years in the past. And all the Democratic nominees coming out of nowhere were all serious intelligent candidates, who were successful in their current and previous jobs. Who were great politicians and communicators, who very likable and spoke very well to the Democratic base. Jimmy Carter, Bill Clinton and Barack Obama. All current or former President’s of the United States. Martin O’Malley is just as good as a politician as Jimmy Carter at least and perhaps Barack Obama.

As far as the NCAA. Why should just student athletes not be able to earn money while at college either though their field or outside of their field? Why should athletes suffer, while law students, medical students and everyone else are not only allowed to work their way through college, but earn money while at college. And a lot of these athletes come from lower-middle class to low-income families. Where their parents can’t afford to pay for their cost of living and send them money while they’re at college. They don’t have to worry about their schooling, but they have to be able to pay their other bills while their at school.

As far as Carly Fiorina, she is less accomplished than Mitt Romney as a politician. Which is sort of the death knell for a potential serious presidential candidate. Had she defeated Senator Barbara Boxer in 2010, then maybe she would be a serious candidate right now. Because she could say that she’s one statewide in one of the bluest states in the country. And now has foreign policy experience on the Foreign Relations Committee or Armed Services Committee. She has business experience and was a successful business executive and everything else. But that didn’t happen and now she looks like someone who is just trying to get any big job and get her name in the public eye.

Real Time With Bill Maher: ‘Liberals vs. Fake Liberals’

Posted on April 4, 2015 by Derik Schneider

Real Time With Bill Maher_ 'Liberals vs_ Fake Liberals'Source:Real Time With Bill Maher and Elton John.

You can also see this post at FreeState MD, on Blogger.

“In his editorial New Rule, Bill Maher calls on liberals to stop attacking people who agree with them.”

From Real Time With Bill Maher

Just to correct Bill Maher for a moment and lately I’ve agreed with him on almost everything.: But this is not “Liberals vs. Liberals”. This is not John Kerry vs. John Kennedy. This is Liberals, like a Jack Kennedy or a John Kerry, two of my favorite Liberals, vs. the Far-Left. The Left’s version of the Christian Right or New-Right in America.

Liberals believe in free speech. What is free speech, well the right to speak freely. Not the right to say what most of the country already believes or already agrees with you on. And with free speech comes people being offended and perhaps being oversensitive and being too offended. The Far-Left New Leftists, perhaps Statists and maybe even Socialists, don’t believe in free speech.

Sure, the Far-Left believes they have the right to free speech, but for everyone else we have the right to say what the Far-Left already agrees with. But if we say anything that may offend someone or people or groups that the New-Left in America believes deserves special treatment and name your minority group, except for Jews, we should shut up, boycotted and that our speech should even be outlawed. All of the political correctness groups and organizations that Bill Maher mentioned, none of them are Liberals.

Leftists, who are closeted Socialists, who call themselves Liberals or Progressive, (depending on which day it is and which sounds cooler) they are fake Liberals who don’t have the balls to admit to calling themselves what they are, which is fascists who believe they know what is best for everyone else and what people should say. And we should interact with each other.

Leftists believe that freedom is not necessary and dangerous because these fascists will use their big government to manage everyone’s lives for them. I’m not sure the Far-Left in America believes in heterosexuality anymore and perhaps sees it as homophobic or something. Because their women sound like man-hating dykes. And their men sound like queens who see masculinity as evil or something.

The Right obviously has their crazies. They are called the Far-Right or New-Right that want to put America into a national time machine and take us all back to 1927 or something. How about 1915 before American women had the right to vote.

But the Far-Left has their gigantic, national, nuthouse, that if you added them all up might not be able to fill the en entire city of Wichita. (Which is a mid-size city in Kansas, for anyone in the Northeast or West Coast whose never heard of it) But the Far-Left is so loud and vocal and fairly organized, even for a nuthouse, that they can make Liberals and Democrats look as bad as the Far-Right makes Conservatives and Republicans look.

USFL Forever: USFL 1985- Week 3- Baltimore Stars @ Memphis Showboats: Full Game

Posted on April 4, 2015 by Ederik Schneider

IMG_5242”

Source:USFL Forever– the Stars vs the Showboats, from 1985.

“[Note: This is the COMPLETE game which replaces the short ESPN Classic version]

Walter Lewis ran for one touchdown and threw for two more in leading unbeaten Memphis to its third straight triumph in a 21-19 decision over the defending USFL champion Baltimore Stars.

With Memphis trailing 13-0, in the third quarter, Lewis scored on a one-yard run when he was chased into the corner by a horde of Baltimore defenders but managed to get the ball over the goal line before being tackled.”

From USFL Forever

I just looked it up and the Baltimore Stars were 10-7-1 in 1985 and yet they won the USFL Championship that season. Not exactly a great record for a championship team. That would be like a 9-7 record in the NFL. Teams with records like that generally barely make the playoffs and don’t do much in the playoffs, or just miss the playoffs. But generally don’t go all the way. But if you listen to the commentary of this game, they are talking about after the first two games of the season, the Stars were still winless. And turning the ball over a lot and not scoring touchdowns in the red zone.

The Memphis Showboats were 11-7 in 1985 and also made the playoffs, but didn’t go very far. Solid record with a solid team, but not exactly championship material as their record would indicate. A defensive oriented running team, that played fairly conservatively on offense.

The Stars were fairly similar in style, but with a better quarterback in Chuck Fusina, a better passing game and a great running back in Kelvin Bryant. Who would go on to the NFL with the Redskins. And be a major factor in the 1987 Redskins Super Bowl Championship team. So this was a very good matchup with two very tough teams with very good defenses.
