Michael Moore on Reagan voters: They're dying

Michael Moore on Reagan voters: They're dying By: Patrick Gavin December 13, 2012 09:16 AM EST

Michael Moore thinks the country is getting better — “I’m very optimistic about the future” — he says, and what explains that?

Reagan voters are dying.

In a discussion on Current TV about Sheldon Adelson on Wednesday, Moore told host Jennifer Granholm, “Adelson and all those people will be gone, just like the people who voted for Reagan, the older generation that was really behind Reagan.”

“If you were 55 or 60 years old in 1980 when Reagan ran, you’re dead now,” said Moore. “They’re not alive. They left. And when they left, you know, things got better.”

Sensing perhaps a verbal misstep, Moore clarified his comments.

“My dad is 91. I love old people. Don’t get me wrong. But, I’m just saying that the previous generations, which were willing to live under segregation, were willing to live with women making a third less than men, were willing to live with all this stuff.

Yes they are. Just as Michael will die along with all the other 60’s radicals.

So live your life that the fear of death can never enter your heart. Trouble no one about their religion;respect others in their view, and demand that they respect yours. Love your life, perfect your life, beautify all things in your life. Seek to make your life long and its purpose in the service of your people. Prepare a noble death song for the day when you go over the great divide.

Always give a word or a sign of salute when meeting or passing a friend, even a stranger, when in a lonely place. Show respect to all people and grovel to none.

When you arise in the morning give thanks for the food and for the joy of living. If you see no reason for giving thanks, the fault lies only in yourself. Abuse no one and no thing, for abuse turns the wise ones to fools and robs the spirit of its vision.

When it comes your time to die, be not like those whose hearts are filled with the fear of death, so that when their time comes they weep and pray for a little more time to live their lives over again in a different way. Sing your death song and die like a hero going home.

~ Tecumseh

I hate to admit it, but this doofus has a point.
Our biggest problem IMHO is that people under 30 seem totally ambivalent on all relevant social issues. And they seem all too willing to give Socialism a try.

Then how does he explain how George W. Bush got reelected by the same margin Obama won by just eight years ago? (Not to mention the 2010 midterms...) The demographics haven't changed THAT much in only eight years. The fact is, that Obama’s victory is a combination of the cult of personality the media has built up for him and many voters (11 Million fewer this November than 2008) simply sitting at home because the Republicans can't find a candidate that inspires anybody.

Wrong again you fat tub-o-turds. The generation that voted for Reagan ended segregation.

If not for the corrupt media, Obama would only have won two states.

The result of the overwhelming majority of public schools and almost ALL teen-oriented TV shows.

No kidding. It isn't even that hard to research this fact. The facts are even on probably his beloved Wikipedia.

The Republican Party was based on northern white Protestants, businessmen, professionals, factory workers, farmers, and African-Americans. It was pro-business, supporting banks, the gold standard, railroads, and tariffs to protect industrial workers and industry.
