Is Michael Moore supposed to be amusing?

I've often found that if I go down the list of "liberal" issues with people who say they're Republican, they are quite liberal and not in sync with the Republicans who run the country. Most don't want America to be the world's police officer and prefer peace to war. They applaud civil rights, believe all Americans should have health insurance and think assault weapons should be banned. Though they may personally oppose abortion, they usually don't think the government has the right to tell a women what to do with her body.

There's a name for these Republicans: RINOs or Republican In Name Only. They possess a liberal, open mind and don't believe in creating a worse life for anyone else.

So why do they use the same label as those who back a status quo of women earning 75 cents to every dollar a man earns, 45 million people without health coverage and a president who has two more countries left on his axis-of-evil-regime-change list?

I asked my friend on the street. He said what I hear from all RINOs: "I don't want the government taking my hard-earned money and taxing me to death. That's what the Democrats do."

Money. That's what it comes down to for the RINOs. They do work hard and have been squeezed even harder to make ends meet. They blame Democrats for wanting to take their money. Never mind that it's Republican tax cuts for the rich and billions spent on the Iraq war that have created the largest deficits in history and will put all of us in hock for years to come.

Moore looked really, really stupid tonight. To paraphrase what he said at the Oscars, when John McCain doesn't like you, it's time for you to go.

Michael Moore is not amusing--just fat and facially-challenged.

I'll never forgive Moore for the way he treated Charlton Heston in "Bowling for Columbine". I had the pleasure of working with Heston once and he is one of the nicest guys you'll ever meet. What a hatchet job ol' slobby did on him.

Yes Mr. Heston is a great man. I am sorry for his condition. I wish he had run for office.

Money. That's what it comes down to for the RINOs.

That's what it always comes down to for you too, fatman. You rail on about war profiteers and tax cuts and women making 75 cents on the dollar (if they really did, any responsible business owner would fire every man on the payroll).

Meanwhile, the person who has more money off the Iraq War than any other person on the planet is... MICHAEL MOORE.

"Though they may personally oppose abortion, they usually don't think the government has the right to tell a women what to do with her body."

Maybe it's time to face the facts. They took down the Ten Commandments and replaced them with feminist theology.

The government has exalted a 'woman's body' to the preeminence of goddess and empress of America. While religion is being suppressed and banned from the public, a 'woman's body' is comprehensively protected by law in nearly every domain, including the spheres of self will and immorality. A 'woman's body' has been empowered in ways that in saner times were proscribed by a moral and reasonable society.

From legalized abortions to lewd fashions, from pornographic daytime soaps to teenage breast implants, from breast feeding in MacDonalds, to 'no-fault-divorce' laws, from statutory job quotas for women that thwart males with better qualifications to being crowned with the legal advantage of 'minority status', a 'woman's body' has become the center and soul of America.

There's such an intense focus on it that you see 10 year old girls walking around trying to look like Britney Spears and you can't even pick up a Betty Crocker Cookbook without some sort of recipe that will make a woman's body more 'sexy'. The cultural obsession and governmental consecration of a 'woman's body' has made it the new religion of America.

Moore Won’t Return to Madison Square Garden

----
Following all the commotion last night at RNC, Michael Moore will not be returning to Madison Square Garden, E&P has learned. According to editors at USA Today, which is publishing his daily column this week, Moore told them that he was choosing not to return again.

However, they said he would continue to write his daily column and they stressed that in no way did they second-guess their decision to have him write the commentary.

Moore fans, let me point out something very, very important here.

He’s going to report on a convention he’s not attending?

Is any other major media outlet doing that? Reporting on the convention without being there? Even bloggers are only reporting on *coverage* of the convention unless they are inside the building.

So Moore is going to write a week’s worth of columns about something he’s watching on TV like the rest of us. Interesting. USA Today just told the world that the answer to “what liberal media” is “This one, dumbasses, USA Today. Isn’t it obvious?”
