Michael Moore’s New Year’s Resolution: "Stop Saying, 'I Support the Troops.' I Don't" By Noel Sheppard Created 01/01/2013 - 1:40pm

Schlockumentary filmmaker Michael Moore has some peculiar New Year’s resolutions that he published at the Huffington Post Monday evening.

At number four was “Stop saying, ‘I support the troops.’ I don't. I used to.”

“I understand why so many enlisted after 9/11,” Moore continued. “Sadly, many of them were then trapped and sent off to invade Iraq. I felt for all of them. I understood those who joined because of a lousy economy. But at some point all individuals must answer for their actions, and now that we know our military leaders do things that have nothing to do with defending our lives, why would anyone sign up for this rogue organization?”

Isn’t that special?

Then Moore, possibly realizing how inflammatory this was, added a fifth resolution:

Apologize for No. 4. I have enormous respect for anyone who would offer to sacrifice their life to defend my right to live. Is there any greater gift one can give another? It's not the troops' fault they're sent to invade other countries for dubious reasons and outright lies. It's OUR responsibility to prevent this, to elect representatives who believe in peace, and to only put our troops in harm's way when it's absolutely necessary. My uncle was killed in World War II. Today would have been his 90th birthday. My dad still misses him. Our family has served this country in the military since the Revolutionary War. None of them watch Fox News.

This guy’s a sketch, isn’t he?

:) Thanks. And I really do think “he” looks like a woman most of the time. Being really fat is a good way to hide breasts.

I hope, really hope, that a hatchet of some kind doesn't come twirling end-over-end and buries itself so very close to his head. Like below his chin. Ooh, did I say that? Sor-r-y. I really, really, really shouln't have.

Please, anyone near to this globulous piece of garbage, on behalf of all who have served, and are serving now, walk up to this hunk of crap and put a fist to his foul mouth.

How much of this crap are we going to take?

He may have the right to say it, but that does not mean there should be no consequences.

His next of kin should feed him a good ole Southern breakfast every day: grits with gravy, 1/2 lb. bacon, 1/2 lb. pork sausage, homefries, 4 eggs,and 5 buttered biscuits! Washed down with a big mug of buttermilk!

The creature continues to be incoherent.
