I am really sick and tired of people like Michael Moore saying he is patriotic. Patriotic to what? If he is patriotic to America, then he is patriotic to what we were founded to be. We were founded to be a capitalist society, with free speech that cannot be supressed because it offends some one. We were founded to be society in which one is free to persue their dreams, and it is owed to no one to pay for theirs. The only thing I owe is a little bit of my labor to help protect to keep our society that way. So if you say you are a patriot, then you support the constitution and are a capitalist! Are you Michael? NO Michael you are the biggest slobbiest ASSHOLE in this country. You want the benefits of freedom so you can work to deny me of my rights to freedom.

NO doubt it had a great opening -- all that press will do that. BUT F911 has already proved to be on it's way to oblivion.

Saturday is ALWAYS a big raise over Friday. F911 DROPPED on Saturday by 5%, and it will probably drop even furthur today. Then it will crash and burn in the shadow of Spiderman next week.

Mark my words, this POS will be gone from theaters within 3 weeks.

Last night, lionsgatefilms.com had the entire movie available for free download. I've got it on two CD's and am curious as to what the legalities are of passsing it on to others. Anybody here know?

The important thing here is how many people saw this movie. If my math is correct, about 2 million people have seen this thing. Most of them are going to be people to already were going to vote for Kerry anyway. I just wonder how many swing voters will see this if it gets into the second run dollar theaters, pay-per-view and DVD.

I highly encourage ALL FReepers to abandon the idea that FReepin' will only bring more people to the theaters, that was really wishful thinking, and now we see the reality - they are already coming in response to the overwhelming media blitz. What they need to see is that we won't roll over!

To all of you who have never "FReeped" before, I guarantee you will get so charged up from FReepin', that you will have a hard time to sleep that night regardless of how tired you are! The faces of grateful patriots are the second best payment you could get. By FReepin', you wake up something inside of them and you. They get encouraged to speak out and they walk with more spring in their step. They are PROUD to be an American who just gave you the thumbs up or tooted their horn showing their support for the country at a time when some real IDIOTS are racing to give their money and support to an America HATER.

But the best payment is when you see these IDIOTS who HATE America, and you see the anger and fear in their face because they know YOU aren't gonna stand idly by, while they trash the country! Their faces are all twisted and contorted and here YOU are standing there waving, proud of your country and sharing your BIG SMILE! You have just RUINED their day, and they will no doubt tell their fellow liberals how YOU were there, and they haven't won yet.

Here's a few ideas to get going: Get a small American flag that you can easily handle with one hand as you hold your sign, get some foam poster board (so your sign will be firm and easy to read and handle), a black marker and and red marker and make your sign simple and BIG letters. Tell them Fahrenheit 9/11 is PROPAGANDA, That we should support OUR TROOPS and NOT terrorists! You can write a different message on both sides of your poster board, so you can easily flip it to display a variety of messages. I wrote "Support our Troops, not the terrorists" on one side, and "Hezbollah supports Fahrenheit 9/11". Whatever you write, hold your sign PROUD and SMILE - the spirit of America is watching you!

Moore has timed the release schedule so that it'll be out on DVD in October. He's hoping the DVD release will have a big impact. I'm hoping this will all backfire on the libs, since they've embraced such an extremist anti-American Clymer.

They will have to get it on DVD quickly and out of stores by Sept. This is campaign material and as such cannot be shown or sold in the 60 days before the election.

"2 million people have seen this thing."

In a nation of nearly 300 million those numbers aren't so impressive after all.

This is getting way out of hand. It is time for Fox News, the Bush Campaign or the RNC to produce a program or even a document Refuting 911 Point by Point to show America that Moore's Film is 100% Lies, Lies, Lies!

Where is the Bush Campaign on this one? I am getting a bit ticked off. Bush could even address the nation and prove to everyone that every single thing that Moore says about, him and his family is a Lie!

Damn this is Frustrating!

Is it playing in small towns or mostly concentrated in big cities and liberal areas? In the summer we live in Marysville, WA, a short distance from the Seattle area. It isn't playing in any of the multi-plexes nearby. These farming towns are more conservative than Seattle, that's for sure. There are lots of flags out, many at half-staff since Reagan died. Michael Moore timed his release date for a nothing weekend (no competition) and it's also location-location-location, with big liberal cities getting the bulk of the showings.

Haven't you had the TV on? The media is refuting it for us, point by point.

Keep in mind that by limiting the number of theaters the impression is given that the entire world is lined up to see the garbage.
