Michael Moore hates America. He can’t escape this fact. He hates American ideals, he hates capitalism, and he hates the courage shown by American soldiers while embracing the “courage” of terrorists. He hates American strength. He hates American power. He hates that the majority of American people support the war, and warns that those who do support freedom for Iraq will pay for that freedom with the blood of their sons. He hates that American corporations are working in Iraq, rebuilding schools, paving roads, providing drinking water, and rebuilding the economic infrastructure of the oil-rich nation.

Moore recently called Halliburton a “war profiteer.” The last I checked, the definition of a war profiteer was ANY person or organization who makes a profit (justly or unjustly) from the events of a war. Moore is going to be the first filmmaker to release a commercial film based on the events of September the 11th. We’ll follow up with Moore and make sure the profits of his new film “Fahrenheit 911” are donated to the families who lost their loved ones that day… because, God forbid if anybody should make a dime off of an armed conflict, right Michael?

Moore undermines the effort in Iraq. As a rabble rouser, he has every right to voice his opinion on the justification for going to war or not. But someone needs to tell Moore that the invasion happened over a year ago, and the debate is over. Instead of complaining about what the soldiers are doing in Iraq, he would best serve those men and women by showing the world that we can be united in determination, even in the face of so-called uncertain motives. No, that’s not Moore’s style. His only interest in the soldiers and what they are thinking comes from when he receives letters from disgruntled servicemen. One of them, Specialist Mike Prysner, is understandably shocked to find himself in a war zone. After all, he turned down a writing scholarship to join the Army just after September the 11th. Who knew there would be a war in the Middle East?

Moore’s wild inexplicable success comes not from the widespread domestic demand for his films, but from foreign French and Canadian film festival awards. This darling of the Euro-trash entertainment industry is showered with praise for his courage to stand up to his own country. His Academy Award for “Best Documentary” (is there a category for “Best Fabrication” or are these rewards reserved for Halle Barre and Sean Penn?) earned him the right to speak in front of millions and state his opinion on the war in Iraq. And it was rejected by even the liberal Hollywood elite. Moore’s original popularity is not a complete mystery. Moore got his 15 minutes with the entertaining “Roger and Me.” He has since been viewed as the blue collar guy who fights for the working man. The fact is, Moore has a million dollar luxury apartment in Manhattan and outsourced his website to a Canadian company. Well, so much for the little guy.

Moore hates America. Despite his repeated claims of “loving” his country, Moore has brazenly declared that Iraqis are the new “minutemen,” and that “they will win.” Funny, I don’t recall American Minutemen blowing up public places in order to convince the British to leave. But then again, Moore doesn’t seem to be the type of filmmaker, or man, to let little things like facts get in the way of his hysteria.
