>>Moore made a film for the have-nots, of which there are many.<<
There are far fewer "have-nots' thanks to the free-enterprise system and Democratic capitalism than there would be under any other economic system. Anyone with a work ethic and the desire can achieve his or her goals in this country.
>>The suppression and manipulation of information by the powers that be is undemocratic, unjust and actually illegal.<<
Agreed, they shouldn't be allowed to suppress or manipulate information regarding Saddam Hussein's collaboration with al-Qaeda and other terrorist groups. They also should quit suppressing information regarding the former Iraqi regime's programs, research and materials related to the production of WMD's.
>>As Moore has said, why does a guy in a baseball cap have to be the one to show everybody what's really going on? Why is everyone so complicit (or afraid of losing their couch)? Why do people sit in silence?<<
Because some fat guy from Michigan has it all figured out. Oh, I guess he's just PRETENDING to be a "guy in a baseball cap". He really is a wealthy puppeteer selling propaganda to disillusioned neo-hippies while living in a plush million dollar penthouse in New York. Remain calm....Moore has all the answers... Everyone else are pod people ala "Invasion of the Body Snatchers". Moore's been lying about himself ever since "Roger and Me" when he said he was from Flint, MI. Actually, he is from a upper middle class lily white suburb of Flint and couldn't even last a week working for G.M.! What a wuss!
>>Probably the most important thing Moore shows (we already knew Bush was a psychopath)<<
You realize that you called a sitting President a psychopath? You may disagree with his policies, you may not like his character, but a "pyschopath"? Please. It's pure hyperbole. Just like the stuff Moore shovels. You realize he makes so many errors in his psuedo-documentaries that he refuses to actually call them documentaries? When pressed he says they are "entertainment."
>>I knew then that the war was absolutely wrong and now that knowledge has been re-inforced by a trillion.<<
Some people are anti-war no matter what. Some people prefer thousands of Kurds getting gassed, Iraqis getting mutilated, tortured and murdered and 11 year olds getting raped by Saddam's sons. Some people think war doesn't solve anything. They're right, unless if your include slavery, communism and fascism. Now war is putting an end to extremist Islamic terrorism. In both Afghanistan and Iraq, the situation is better than it was before. You may say "But people are still dying in Iraq!" Guess what? They were dying before the war, and in greater numbers than they are now. Democide, that is: death by totalitarian regimes, blows away war as a leading cause of human death and misery.
Even John Kerry says he wouldn't change his vote on the war.
Democracy gaining an important foothold in a volatile region of the world. Human rights for people in the Middle East is inevitable.
>>The world was not perfect before 9/11. But after 9/11 the world seems doomed.<<
Not perfect? The morale of the military was way down. Our intelligence infrastructure was broke. Islamic terrorism was being ignored by the Clinton administration.
>> We are literally on the Eve of Destruction. We are less safe than when Clinton was in office. That's fact, Jack.<<
Totally wrong. Terrorists are on the run, They are hiding in spider holes and cave complexes. They can't effectively plan, can't significantly act, can't recruit, can't train. Nations don't dare support terrorists now as THEY DID OPENLY PRIOR TO 9/11. All around the world, thousands of trained operatives are searching, investigating leads and hunting down members of al-Qaeda. Arrests fill the headlines on a weekly basis. Prior to 9/11, America was asleep. You are proposing that we should have hit the "snooze" button after 9/11.
>>I'm not a taxpayer in America, but if I was, I'd be making some loud noise over the use of my tax dollars for this fucking war. The disempowered poor people of America are being signed up for war.<<
I have no problem with taxpayer dollar's being spent on in the War on Terror. Operation Iraqi Freedom was a huge success as was our victory and liberation of Afghanistan. The ONE most basic need that brings people together is security. The War on Terror may bother the neo-hippies but most pragmatic people realize that to put the terrorists and their state sponsors on the defensive is the best way to keep everyone safe.
Check out moorelies.com, mooreexposed.com, or any of the other various fact checking sites on Moore. He is a charlatan and is laughing all the way to the bank on the dime of frustrated neo-hippies.
