Is this Bill Reilly sitting in (with a great deal of makeup , of course) to look like Maher ?

Misattributed "A fear of weapons is a sign of retarded sexual and emotional maturity." This is not a statement that appears in any translation of any of Freud's works. It is a paraphrase of a statement from the essay "Guns, Murders, and the Constitution" (February 1990) by Don B. Kates, Jr. where Kates summarizes his views of passages in Dreams in Folklore (1958) by Freud and David E. Oppenheim, while disputing statements by Emmanuel Tanay in "Neurotic Attachment to Guns" in a 1976 edition of The Fifty Minute Hour: A Collection of True Psychoanalytic Tales (1955) by Robert Mitchell Lindner:

I took my 11 and 13 year old son / daughter shooting. Let them shoot .22 cal pistols and rifles. Let them shoot a .223 semiautomatic sporting rifle. I shot a 12 gauge shotgun and asked them if they wanted to try it, both declined after seeing the recoil. The .223 was easier to shoot and easier to handle for both of them. P.S. Biden is an ignorant person and quite possibly stupid as well.

she is free to do what ever she wants with her "piece of cloth" (flag)..but she is NOT free to teach students to do such. Probably an "intelligent idiot"

Ladies and Gentlemen, the USA is borrowing 46% of everything the federal government spends. It has taken the USA decades to get to this point while BOTH political parties swapped power positions and continued the steady advancement to our current situation. The various political factions are like members of an orchestra who cannot decide on a song to play, so each plays what they wish to play. Meanwhile, the big luxurious boat they are on is steadily sinking. If all political factions do not solve the spending/borrowing problem....the USA is doomed to financial failure and the resulting turmoil that will result.

Taxpayers, our taxes are helping more and more people, and the votes are for more and more help. We need to work harder !!!!

There is some wiggle room here because of historical differences, but the general concept is correct as far as human nature is concerned: "A democracy is always temporary in nature; it simply cannot exist as a permanent form of government. A democracy will continue to exist up until the time that voters discover that they can vote themselves generous gifts from the public treasury. From that moment on, the majority always votes for the candidates who promise the most benefits from the public treasury, with the result that every democracy will finally collapse over loose fiscal policy, (which is) always followed by a dictatorship." (attributed to Alexander Tyler, a Scottish history professor at the University of Edinburgh, 1887)

I think you have missed the most alarming symptom of all. This one I shall tell you. But go back and search for it. Examine it. Sick cultures show a complex of symptoms as you have named... But a dying culture invariably exhibits personal rudeness. Bad manners. Lack of consideration for others in minor matters. A loss of politeness, of gentle manners, is more significant than a riot. This symptom is especially serious in that an individual displaying it never thinks of it as a sign of ill health but as proof of his/her strength. Look for it. --- a conversation with Friday and Dr. Baldwin in "Friday" by Robert H. Heinlein

and outgo get out of balance and stay that way - even though there are always endless attempts to wish it away by legislation. But I started looking for little signs and what some call silly-season symptoms. I want to mention one of the obvious symptoms: Violence. Muggings. Sniping. Arson. Bombing. Terrorism of any sort. Riots of course - but I suspect that little incidents of violence, pecking way at people day after day, damage a culture even more than riots that flare up and then die down. Oh, conscription and slavery and arbitrary compulsion of all sorts and imprisonment without bail and without speedy trial - but those things are obvious; all the histories list them.
