Is he one of those 'comedians' who sprinkles his lines with the F word and other potty mouth? I have no use for them. Not funny.

I am very skeptical of most activists too. Most of them exist only to extend the power of an unpopular or unsupportable point of view. In a republic such as ours, there is ample opportunity to vote, and they simply don't like the result.

The only way I can respect an activist or activist organization is when they put their money where their mouth is. I don't mean people like George Soros who are so wealthy that 20 million dollars isn't worth bending down to pick up off the ground. I mean people who have to budget.

One activist organization I like is the Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation. They put their money into buying land and converting its primary use to habitat. I have no respect for Greenpeace or the Sierra Club, because they primarily interfere with the legal rights of others.
