The teachers union is a group of self interested union bullies. They want no accountability directed toward their teachers by getting them tenured out the ass. Then they lobby against school vouchers and choice when children maybe able to get a more fulfilling education at another school. The unionization of teachers has significantly hurt our education system.

Lobbyists are the ruin of America in many,many ways....but I still fail to see how THIS has hurt education.
Yup, we're stupid and that effete little snob sniffing his rarified air has it made in the shade. You see, on networks that are beholden to ratings to survive, the number of people watching Maher would matter but Maher is only playing to the Hollywood crowd because HBO doesn't get its money from advertising. It gets its money from number of subscribers to HBO not number of HBO subscribers who watch Bill Maher. Bill Maher exists for Hollywood. HBO wants Hollywood to vote for Bill Maher awards. So HBO serves up Maher and original series that will please that Hollywood crowd that votes on awards for television. To the rest of their subscribers, they offer movies.
So sure he attacks conservatives. He's in it for the accolades from people who vote for awards in Hollywood. He's not in it for the number of people who watch his show.
If you can get your movies, elsewhere, think about dropping your HBO subscription. If asked why, tell them - Bill Maher.
Nope. But didnt vote for Bush in either of the last two elections either. Actually didnt vote at all the last two elections.
The one that's stupid is the person saying that Americans are dumb because they elected Bush twice yet forgetting that these same, apparently "dumb" people also picked Obama this time.
and ur offended why americans are stupid when u have people saying tey want to protect u and then yet tanper with the patiot act and constitution and americans sy nothing, and many of these same americans are saying/crying we're now a communist country we're dumb but yet we can have tea parties and **** cause its for partisan reasons
The only problem with Bill Maher is that he tells the truth.
The main reason why he is despised. The stupid ones live in their bubbles and don't take kindly to anyone trying to put dents in it.
