The education system in this country, along with the 5th column leftist media, enables Fat Bastard to make a killing!

- the first documentary ever to top the American film charts in its opening days

Uh Mr. d'Ancona, its not a doumentary. It's a leni rifesnstahl tribute to satisfy the rabid and self-consuming appetite of the neo-nazi Bush haters.

Will the balled-bovine's excretement never stop flowing?

And is every sufferer of the Liberal Psychosis so absolutely in the grip of his own morbidly self-loathing-based hatred as to be incapable of any intellectual activity whatsoever -- or of telling the truth?

My bet is the first on AlQaeda's list of evil Americans is Michael Moore and his followers....they are not as adept at making distinctions between good westerners and evil ones as MM claims to be

"You just wonder how many people in the States will get to see it, since they live in a country under censorship."


???? THAT is why the world hates America - more media whores in the uK not counting ignorant people and worst of all ... LAWYERS and activist judges in the U.S.A. who agree with that stupid woman who babbered the above statement.

But we cannot either forget our non-existant American conservatives who are too cowardly or too blind in their pursuits of power themselves (especially those who are politicians, lawyers or judges!)

The anti-war lobby has the slick movies of Michael Moore. And what do we hawks have? The sickening images of Abu Ghraib, that's what.

THE FILM THEY DON'T WANT

June 28, 2004 -- I'D like to make a documentary entitled "What We're Up Against." I'd include the following:

* Scenes from the destruction of the World Trade Center: jets crashing, people jumping from the upper floors, the towers' collapse, the months-long digging through the rubble — and the excruciating body-identification task faced by the medical examiner's office.

* The "beheading videos" — from reporter Daniel Pearl right through to Korean Kim Sun-il.

* The charred and mutilated bodies of four Halliburton workers hanging from a bridge in Fallujah.

* Post terror-bombing scenes from Bali, Madrid, and Istanbul. Ditto for Riyadh, but with additional footage of the recent attack showing the 22 victims whose throats were slit.

* The Saddam Hussein "torture videos," photos of the mass grave sites containing 300,000 Iraqis and photos of Kurdish men, women and children killed by chemical poisoning.

* Footage of the pregnant Israeli woman and her four daughters murdered by two Palestinians who then put an additional bullet in each child's head and one in the abdomen of the mother.

* A "montage" of numerous mullahs and imams whose non-stop spewing of anti-American and anti-Semitic speech incites further hatred and violence.

* Another montage of "joyous Arabs" dancing in the streets after virtually every successful act of terror.

Think I'd win a Palme d'Or at the Cannes Film Festival? Neither do I.

Moore is the most powerful spokesman of the myth that gripped the Spanish people when they elected Jose Luis Rodriguez Zapatero as their Prime Minister in the wake of the Madrid bombing: namely, that if we oust specific politicians from office - replace Bush with Kerry, Blair with Brown - the Islamic fundamentalists will leave us alone. It is, of course, psychologically reassuring for voters to be told that they have this power, that there is something quick and clean they can do about their collective predicament. But it is also a fantasy. The theocratic guerrillas of al-Qaeda and its associates who, it emerged last week, were planning to bomb a British primary school in Madrid and, on Friday, promised fresh attacks in Europe, will not be appeased by any number of political scalps. Their ambitions for the world are much greater and more terrifying.

I'm afraid he's right about this, and what's worse, I'm not sure what anyone can so or do to convince such people that Islamic fundamentalists won't be mollified by conciliatory gestures.

Of course, Moore has proven Bush to be correct. Provide a friendly environment and almost anyone can be a successful capitalist. Moore is a successful capitalist. He has provided something that the market is willing to pay to see. His investors must be delighted because they'll get back their investments plus a great return. That's capitalism!!!

Now, if Moore wasn't also a lying hypocrit, he'd disown capitalism and turn over all his profits (in capitalism, ALL profits are ill gotten) to folks who deserve what he has looted from the market.

Moore's profits are just like those of the oil company. He has overcharged for something he could have sold at a profit at $3.00 a ticket. Moore is a price gouger, a capitalist run amok. Moore has become what he claims to hate in others!! He can only purge himself of this terrible abuse by giving away all the excess profits. BUT, HE WON'T!!

I think the author misses a big point here. He says that "No war in modern history has been as badly sold to the public as this one." What he fails to take into account, however, is that no war effort, with the possible exception of Vietnam, has sustained so much internal sabotage (in the form of propaganda) in history. The Bush administration has probably made just as good a case for this war effort as has any president previous, but it is no longer enough to do just that in the face of all the internal anti-US sabotage being attempted by the US and international media. We are at war, not just with Islamic crazies, but with the Leftist forces in the West who would love to see them win.
