The leftist film maker Michael Moore advertises himself as a Catholic. He makes rather a big deal out of it. Yesterday in an open letter congratulating himself for Bart Stupak's capitulation, he revealed with clarity his contempt for the sanctity of human life and the inherent and equal dignity of every member of the human family. Some Catholic. I suppose we should be grateful that at least he doesn't repesent himself as a "pro-life Catholic" (or even a "pro-life Democrat"). I'll paste in the letter below. (P.S. It's worth noting that Moore sees Stupak's action for what it was---a capitulation, not a victory for unborn children, a/k/a "fertilized eggs.")
Michael Moore | How the People in My District Got Stupak to Change His Mind -- and Thus Saved the Health Care BillPublished on Mar 22, 2010 - 2:49:51 PM
By: Michael Moore
Friends,
Well, our full court press on my congressman, Bart Stupak worked! Hundreds of my neighbors here in his Michigan district spent the weekend organizing thousands of voters to get busy and save the health care bill. We called Stupak's congressional office non-stop and we got thousands of people up here to flood his email box.
And then a rare thing happened: An elected representative did what the people told him to do. It was nothing short of amazing.
Stupak, and his seven "right to life" Democrats who had said they would vote against the bill, reversed themselves after what Stupak said Sunday afternoon was a week of his staff having "really taken a pounding." Hey, all we did here in northern Michigan was let him know that we would be unceremoniously tossing him out of Congress in this August's Democratic primary. One of our group announced she would oppose him in the Dem primary. That seemed to register with him.
All of this made Stupak look pretty worn down at his press conference yesterday, pleading with people like us to stop calling his house and waking his wife "at two or three in the morning." Hey! That's not us. We never call during Carson Daly!
Obama needed 216 votes in the House last night -- and he barely got them (219 was the final number). Had Stupak not done a 180 in the last 24 hours, the health care bill would have gone down in flames. Thank you, to all of you here in northern Michigan who did what had to be done. You and you alone saved this bill in the final moments.
Stupak stood on the floor of the House last night and, in a surreal moment, spoke against the "Stupak Amendment"! Once he got through his medieval meanderings about where babies come from, he gave one helluva speech.
And, that's when Republican congressman Randy Neugebauer of Texas shouted out: "Baby killer!" Wow. I guess the fertilized egg police felt betrayed by Bart.
Those of us here in Michigan will now decide what to do about our misguided congressman. We're a forgiving lot, but maybe not this time. We shall see.
Bart, I'm glad you discovered you didn't have a uterus. And, like the scarecrow, I'm glad you found a bit of your brain.
A good night it was -- important little steps were taken to bring our country into the civilized world.
Now, we have some real work to do if we really want to say we have universal health care. The sharks who run the insurance companies have every intention of turning this lemon into some very profitable lemonade.
Yours,
Michael Moore

This would be akin to me identifying myself as a Jew and embracing genocide and ethnic cleansing.
He often wears a Michigan State University hat, too.
As a two-time MSU grad, it disgusts me.
Especially because he’s a UofM droput.
Michael Moore is an .... well, then that would be an insult to .... everywhere! >:-( I suspect when the time comes, and Michael stands before his Maker, that God will want to have a few ‘words’ with Michael (say, about millstones and deep oceans!).
Will there ever come the day when someone in Congress offers up a bill to declare unborn/preborn babies as AMERICAN CITIZENS in the womb, worthy of ALL the rights guaranteed to AMERICAN CITIZENS by the US CONSTITUTION?!?!
It galls me to see someone praising womens’ rights, while condemn generations of unborn children to death as if they were meaningless pieces of crap on someone’s shoes. :-(
I suspect he means the usual union members and college kids who do the same for democrat candidates. They can put out a flood of letters, phone calls, emails and faxes from one boiler room.
Forgot to add—kudos to Randy Neugebauer for his courage at calling a BABY KILLER a BABY KILLER!! That applies to HolyO and Joe “Big F’n Deal” Biden and Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid too!! God bless Randy Neugebauer for telling the truth! Think I’m gonna go donate a little bit to his campaign right now for that! :-)
You know they are lying...for every liberal phony phone call/email/fax sent to Stupak, he got 100 phone calls/emails/faxes from decent Americans supporting his so-called ‘stand’ against federally funded abortions! Now we know Benedict Bart was in on the scheme with HolyO the whole time—Judas had his shining moment, Stupak had his as well—now is the time for consequences.
Honestly, I wouldn’t be surprised if Stupak has a heart attack or stroke over all of this. The guilt and remorse (IF he has any) must be eating him alive, to see that HolyO used him (IF he was innocent and honestly believed that POS in the WH).
Time will tell.
Wow, just when I thought Moore could not be any more disgusting...
There is a certain foul irony in the party that rants and raves about a woman's right to do what she wants with her body means a few cubic inches of it during her fertile years. For everyone else and for the rest of her body, they are pushing medical control in the direction where people have no rights to any medical treatment but rather only the privilege to do what the government allows.
I read only the first three paragraphs. I won’t waste any more time on Moore.
***Well, our full court press on my congressman, Bart Stupak worked!***
No, it didn’t, you idiot. Stupak never intended to vote NO. Don’t take credit where none is due.
