Michael Moore declares jihad on capitalism

Michael Moore today posted his "15 Things Every American Can Do Right Now" on his DailyKos diary. I'll analyze it here to spare you a visit to the Kos Kidz.

Let's see what Mr. Moore wants us to do...

You've Seen the Movie -- Now It's Time to ACT!
Shock! Here comes Moore's real agenda which the MSM seems all too eager to ignore.
2. Congress must join the civilized world and expand Medicare For All Americans. A single, nonprofit source must run a universal health care system that covers everyone.
No doubt Mr. Moore hopes Obama's "choice and competition" is just a Trojan horse for "civilized" single payer health care.

5. Save this fragile planet and declare that all the energy resources above and beneath the ground are owned collectively by all of us. Just like they do it in Sarah Palin's socialist Alaska. We only have a few decades of oil left. The public must be the owners and landlords of the natural resources and energy that exists within our borders or we will descend further into corporate anarchy. And when it comes to burning fossil fuels to transport ourselves, we must cease using the internal combustion engine and instruct our auto/transportation companies to rehire our skilled workforce and build mass transit (clean buses, light rail, subways, bullet trains, etc.) and new cars that don't contribute to climate change. (For more on this, here's a proposal I wrote in December.) Demand that General Motors' de facto chairman, Barack Obama, issue a JFK man-on-the-moon-style challenge to turn our country into a nation of trains and buses and subways. For Pete's sake, people, we were the ones who invented (or perfected) these damn things in the first place!!
Sure thing, Mr. Moore, right after you, Al Gore and all the other fat ass limousine liberals stop burning fossil fuels. Better yet, take Rush Limbaugh's advice and put your money where your mouth is and put your own carbon based life form six feet under. Judging by Mr. Moore's girth, he's consuming more than his fair share of the food chain already. Guess he lives by the motto: "To my fat ass according to my wants, to the rest of you peons: ride the bus and eat bread and water!"

2. Take over your local Democratic Party. Remember how much fun you had with all those friends and neighbors working together to get Barack Obama elected? YOU DID THE IMPOSSIBLE. It's time to re-up! Get everyone back together and go to the monthly meeting of your town or county Democratic Party -- and become the majority that runs it! There will not be many in attendance and they will either be happy or in shock that you and the Obama Revolution have entered the room looking like you mean business. President Obama's agenda will never happen without mass grass roots action -- and he won't feel encouraged to do the right thing if no one has his back, whether it's to stand with him, or push him in the right direction. When you all become the local Democratic Party, send me a photo of the group and I'll post it on my website.
Ahh.... so in Moore's worldview, he's helping carry out the real Obama agenda. Well, if we had a real media watchdog in this country, they'd ask Obama if he agrees that he and Michael Moore have the same agenda. Given that Moore's movie is playing on movie screens around the country, I'd say it would be a fair question to ask Obama. After all, Republicans are assaulted every day by reporters, stalkers and bloggers demanding to know if they agree with nutjobs. Moore is a nutjob, but he's a nutjob with a large audience, and I demand to know if Obama agrees with any of his extremist rants.

4. Show up. Picket the local branch of a big bank that took the bailout money. Hold vigils and marches. Consider civil disobedience. Those town hall meetings are open to you, too (and there's more of us than there are of them!). Make some noise, have some fun, get on the local news. Place "Capitalism Did This" signs on empty foreclosed homes, closed down businesses, crumbling schools and infrastructure. (You can download them from my website.)
There you have it... Michael Moore has declared jihad against capitalism.
4. Unionize your workplace so that you and your coworkers have a say in how your business is run. Here's how to do it (more info here). Nothing is more American than democracy, and democracy shouldn't be checked at the door when you enter your workplace. Another way to Americanize your workplace is to turn your business into a worker-owned cooperative. You are not a wage slave. You are a free person, and you giving up eight hours of your life every day to someone else is to be properly compensated and respected.
Worker owned cooperatives? Wage slaves? Could he be more patently obvious in revealing his outright Communist agenda? The MSM gives this guy a microphone and he gets invited on Leno and they never, ever call him out for his overtly Communist rhetoric. God I miss when we had Democrats like Harry Truman and Jack Kennedy. You know, Democrats that hated Communists. Just because the Soviet Union collapsed doesn't mean Marxist ideology is gone. Indeed, it's growing stronger than anyone yet realizes. The threat is real.

How the hell does this guy get to go on Jay Leno? Jack Kennedy is spinning in his grave. I feel like Zell Miller. Dude, WTF happened to the Democratic Party? Seriously.

I think this is great.

Next week I hope we hear he blew himself up in Flint, MI in front of a deserted GM factory.

Jihad on capitalism? Is Mike Moron going to sit on capitalism?

Well, SOMEBODY in the Moore family should have used a "Trojan".

Let me guess ...

1. Eat a big bag of Doritos.

2. Stick head further up posterior.

3. Mumble something about Bush and Cheney.

4. Make a pilgrimage to Mecca.

5. Eat a second big bag of Doritos.

6. Check with your stockbroker.

7. See if you can find any remnant of General Motors.

If he does, the MSM will make a martyr of him and blame Rush for guilting him into suicide. All the same, I won't miss Mr. Moore.

True that. I'm surprised Mr. Moore didn't tell his supporters to kill any conservatives in their midst. After all, his buddies at the NYT have said that birth control is needed to save the planet. It would stand to Mr. Moore and Mr. Gore's line of reasoning that offing conservatives to save the planet is justifiable.

Damn, there I go again... making satirical comments that the Race Detective (aka Charles Johnson) will republish and claim all right wingers are hatemongers and racists. Woe is me. I actually get Limbaugh's humorous rants. I must check into the nearest for reeducation.

When that fat s.o.b. gives away every nickel he made in this capitalist society - then I’ll believe he’s at war.

He should immediately give up all his green. I will happily print him Red Currency with Chairman Mao on the face in exchange for all that filthy capitalist green in his bank accounts.

Michael Moore = useful idiot.

Ironically, Mr Moore will be one of the FIRST eliminated in the purges when the communist left consolidates power.

Mao’s Cultural Revolution is a perfect example of how the left devours it’s own.

Muslim extremists are notoriously intolerant of pigs, Michael Moore would not survive a jihad.

Since Obama's stated goal is merely to introduce a little public competition into a private insurance environment, it's clear that Michael Moore wants President Obama to fail!

Ahh... that's what Obama told you and me, but that's not what he told his liberal buddies at the AFL-CIO!

So, are we then to assume that all the people who worked on his movies have been paid the same as him? Did he demand that all the employees of the movie theaters showing his movie also be paid the same as him? Or were they just paid the standard union wages? Oh that’s right, he didn’t use union workers.

Why doesn’t he invest his ill gotten gains from that evil capitalist system into discovering an alternative to oil and the combustion engine? Why hasn’t he convinced all his Hollywood friends to also invest?

Will he be sharing his New York penthouse home with some of the poor benighted people in that city who have no home?

The list goes on. POS pure and simple.
