Obits for Opposites - George Carlin and Jesse Helms, By SAUL LANDAU , July 19 / 20, 2008
As part of his anti-gay, anti-black and all other colors, anti-liberal and pro gun credo, Helms also belonged to the “Proud to be an American” club, the association of people whose bumpers bear the sticker: “Proud To Be an American.”
I never shared that sentiment; nor pride in being Jewish or coming from New York. George Carlin analyzed such statements of pride as bullsh*t. “Pride should be reserved for your achievements, not accidents of birth like being American or Irish or Italian.”
Indeed, Carlin questioned everything, analyzed words, and splintered customs with knife like logic. “You go to a baseball, football or basketball game and they begin with the Star Spangled banner. And all the men – not the women – have to remove their hats. What’s the relationship between a hat and patriotism? Why not take off your pants to show you love this country?”
