Umm. George Carlin is not a leader in either political science nor in philosophy. I believe he never even finished high school. While he is funny as a comedian in both the political and non-political realm (his act on air travel is hilarious), I don't use him as you did as an authority on anything except maybe humor.

"What I was referring to was the part about conservatives suddenly being interested in you again when you reach military age. Lay that against the "criticism" that Obama wasn't out recruiting for the US Army and see what happens..."

I am glad you clarified this otherwise nobody else would have known what point you were trying to make from Carlin's spiel.
