The Republican Front Runner is a Huge Fan of Michael Moore
Red State ^ | October 20, 2015 | Leon H. Wolf

Posted on 10/20/2015 2:43:45 AM PDT by Cincinatus' Wife

What a long way that we have come in this country. The Republican front runner in 2015 is parroting Michael Moore’s 2004 propaganda film Fahrenheit 9/11 almost verbatim and there’s actually a discussion as to whether this constituted good politics. Somehow almost everyone who is commenting on this story is completely missing the boat as to what Trump’s parroting of Michael Moore’s talking points actually means in the context of the current Republican debates.

In the first place, I don’t think Trump has any identifiable core beliefs about what happened on 9/11 and who is to blame. I don’t really think that Trump has frankly though through the implications of what he’s saying with respect to what Bush should have known about 9/11 and what institutional changes he could have been expected to put into place in the 8 months he was in office prior to the worst terrorist attack in United States history. All Trump knows is that he perceives this attack as being damaging to Jeb Bush, and so he is prepared to use it.

Second, I think it is incorrect to say that these comments by Trump make him a “truther.” Trump is not saying, at least as far as I can tell, that Bush directly caused 9/11, or that he had foreknowledge of 9/11 and chose to do nothing about it. Trump isn’t quoting from Loose Change, he’s quoting from Michael Moore. His argument is not that Bush was complicit, his argument is that Bush was incompetent......

The point is that Donald Trump is willingly attacking Jeb Bush from the left – and not just the center left, but the fringe, extremist left who were already routed conclusively in the 2004 elections...

You are knowingly pushing a liars column to advance you political agenda.

Perhaps you should not lie down with the dogs if you wish to avoid fleas.

I cannot name a single fundamental principle regarding the proper role of government which Mrs. Clinton deeply believes and which she has consistently held dear.

Maybe this?

Hillary's latest campaign salvo is true to the
credo of the Democrat Party
: keeping the snarling
abortion worshippers at bay by upping the political
ante at every election cycle.

"A vote for me is a vote for a Fully-Fornicating Society.
I pledge non-stop aggression over the unborn.
I will end the punishment of an unwanted birth.
Science will benefit from aborted baby body parts."

===========================================

The genital-sniffing Planned Parenthood abortion worshippers who populate the Dem party are crazy over the Clintons......Bill and Hillary are the living breathing embodiment of The Fully-Fornicating Society w/ none of the evidence of sexual activity.....the "nuisance" of an actual child being born.

Bill gives sex-obsessed lefties a vicarious thrill....visions of the married, gray-haired Clinton getting a young WH intern to crawl under his desk to give him a BJ is better than Viagra.

=================================================

(Groan) God only knows what blood, gore and baby body parts Hillary will throw the genital-sniffing rubbermaids to assure them "her aggression over the unborn" will continue...and is her prime interest.

Maybe Hillary will distribute videos of politically-correct abortions that produce more profit-making baby body parts----as the true measure of her abortion worship?

=============================================

What Hillary deems the proper role of government? (see below)

To: All
Remember when the "kind-hearted and compassionate" Clintons (Bill
was President) assured us that abortion would be "safe, legal and rare?"

============================================

Oops. The kindly Clintons plumb "forgot" to mention that they
themselves opened the gates so that Planned Parenthood could traffic
(and profit) in baby body parts.

(EXCERPT--WND.COM). Then-Pres Clinton is credited w/ opening up the market in fetal body parts. Since Clinton signed the National Institutes of Health Revitalization Act of 1993, “fetal-tissue research” has expanded into a federally subsidized multi-million dollar industry of selling human spare parts salvaged from abortions.

For example, the NIH budgeted $21 million in fiscal year 1999 for grants and awards for fetal tissue research. At the University of Washington, the NIH subsidizes the central laboratory for human embryology.

According to a lab notice obtained by WorldNetDaily, it “can supply tissue from normal or abnormal embryos and fetuses of desired gestational ages between 40 days to term. Specimens are obtained within minutes of passage, and tissues are aseptically identified, staged, and immediately processed according to the requirements of individual investigators.” The notice is signed by Alan G. Fantel of the department of pediatrics.

At the time, two organizations that profited from this growth industry were (the now defunct) Opening Lines, a business formerly located in West Frankfort, Illinois...... and Anatomic Gift Foundation, headquartered in Laurel, Maryland.

Opening Lines gives credit to President Clinton for opening up the lucrative business in fetal tissue trade.

According to Opening Lines, on January 22, 1993, Clinton lifted the moratorium on federal funding. “This action created a great demand for fetal tissue and has made possible the development of treatments for individuals afflicted with serious diseases and disorders,” says the sales brochure.

Both companies served as wholesalers for the marketing of baby body parts to researchers, drug companies, hospitals and universities. These groups harvest the baby parts from abortion clinics and ship them to their customers.

Opening Lines provides fetal tissue researchers with a “fee for service schedule,” which gives prices for each body part. For example, Opening Lines charged:

<><> $150 for a spinal column;

<><> $400 for an intact embryonic cadaver;

<><>$75 for 8-week-old baby's eyeballs (40% discount for a single eye);

<><>$150 for two arms or legs; and,

<><> $100 for the skin of a 12-week-old baby.

"However I am strongly for Trump. Very much so."

You're also strongly supportive of Obamacare and don't care much about abortion. It's right there in your posting history.

Liberals attract liberals.

The only candidate that is against amnesty is Trump the only candidate against the horrible trade deals is Trump.

Only Trump says he will enforce existing immigration laws. No other candidate says that. All have had the opportunity to say "I will enforce existing laws and deport illegal aliens". None but Trump have.

I'll give Paul a little credit on trade at least he voted against TPA and did not co-write an editorial with the amnesty pimp Paul Ryan singing praises to TPA and TPP.

If anyone other than Trump is elected 30 to 75 million new Marxist voters are in the pipe line via amnesty and chain immigration. The Republic will die in 2020 when the new Marxist voters start to vote. California is already allowing illegals to vote. Once amnesty passes and it will if Trump is not elected, American conservatism is dead. Thrown on the ash heap of history. Is that what you want CW? Because without President Trump that is what you will get.

rude is an admitted free trading globalist. He cares about nothing other than his bottom line. The nation, it people, and it constitution mean nothing to him. In short he is a Chamber of Commerce GOPer all the way. I am surprised to discover CW is also. That I find sad.

“The point is that Donald Trump is willingly attacking Jeb Bush from the left”

The left right stuff is total BS. Trump attacked bush from a position opposing a lack of government transparency. Any assertion of “blame” is used to deflect and deceive the public from the core issue which is a lack of transparency.

There is more to the 9/11 story than the official government narrative. I think at this time, it’s abundantly clear that the government is always willing to deceive the public if necessary to protect its interests.

Trump has tapped into rational popular skepticism of the government on a variety of issues and its resonating.

This is all about luring union Democrat voters, of the sort that generally idolize Michael Moore, to cross over and vote for him.

BTW I used to live in Moore’s hometown. The guy is an utter, absolute fraud. And his former neighbors know it.

Yeah well that’s kind of funny that Jeb helped unleash the 9-11 hijackers on us with his immigration policies.

I can’t help but think Trump knew this before he spoke out.

Another example of Trump kicking everyone’s ass.

Thanks, Principled.

Also, watch this vid in which Morning Joe and others discuss the coup that Trump pulled off with this.

I called it a coup early this morning on some other thread and was derided by the Trump-critics in FR.

Did his best?

Voicing that people should be able to invest 2% of their OWN $$, away from S.S. then quietly backing down, fast...that’s POSSIBLY ‘doing his best’.

Keeping the border open, inviting the invaders, NOT enforcing the Law nor our Constitution, calling our own Citizens vigilantes, etc. etc. ...not even CLOSE to ‘doing his best’

For better or worse, 911 happened on Bush’s term. 9 months in and no fundamental changes to cull the dead-weight and start doing his JOB (enforcing the Law), Trump, IMO, is dead on. Brother Jeb (and unfort now, Scott) are just as complicit.
