'Fahrenheit 9/11' burns screen as anti-American propaganda<BR>
(by Ed Blank in Pittsburgh Tribune-Review)<BR>
<a href="http://www.pittsburghlive.com/x/tribune-review/entertainment/movies/reviews/s_200400.html">http://www.pittsburghlive.com/x/tribune-review/entertainment/movies/reviews/s_200400.html</a><BR>

“If Moore had studied a bit more, or at all, he could have read Orwell really saying, and in his own voice, the following:<BR>
<BR>
‘The majority of pacifists either belong to obscure religious sects or are simply humanitarians who object to taking life and prefer not to follow their thoughts beyond that point. But there is a minority of intellectual pacifists, whose real though unacknowledged motive appears to be hatred of western democracy and admiration for totalitarianism. Pacifist propaganda usually boils down to saying that one side is as bad as the other, but if one looks closely at the writing of the younger intellectual pacifists, one finds that they do not by any means express impartial disapproval but are directed almost entirely against Britain and the United States.’<BR>
<BR>
And that's just from Orwell's Notes on Nationalism in May 1945. A short word of advice: In general, it's highly unwise to quote Orwell if you are already way out of your depth on the question of moral equivalence. It's also incautious to remind people of Orwell if you are engaged in a sophomoric celluloid rewriting of recent history.”<BR>

You can quote Orwell till you squat and poot, use elongated words till your whiney toots. You're to late... THE EMPEROR HAS NO CLOTHES and the little people see his shiny hiney for what it really is (thanks to Michael Moore) <BR>
<BR>
The bushes,baker,rumsfield, cheney, condaleesa with her name oil barge, the whole lot have been bought and used as butt wipes by the arabs. They in turn are using our NATION and CHILDREN for their dirty war. But now we've got their number and THE JIG IS UP!!! How much of the BILLION they received will they use to TRY AND JIMMY THE VOTE. There is a new AMERICAN REVOLUTION in the making and it's being done with one little film and you know what SUSH....THe rest and you are Scared and JEALOUS AS HELL, trying to do damage control. If I were them I'd be hiding my money and looking for a far away island to buy...HA But to tell you the truth even HELL would be too good for them. They have sold their rights to THE HOME OF THE BRAVE. THey should become COUNTRYLESS moneyed slaves marked not with a SCARLET T (TREASON) to wander wondering what happened to their pull the wool over the poor people plan. BUSH IS A LAUGHING STOCK WHO HOCKED THE USA. The whole world knows it now and all the ad campaigns and guys quoting ORWELL in the world won't take the TRUTH away. <BR>

Oh BK, you should stick to romance poetry and heavy medication...<BR>
<BR>
MICHAEL MOORE was the one quoting George Orwell, at the end of the film that you obviously haven't seen.  This is why Hitchens and others are also quoting Orwell - to point out the fact that Moore is seriously over-rated and under-informed.  I liked him better when he played FAT BASTARD in "Austin Powers" (typecasting)<BR>
<BR>
I can't wait to watch the monkeys come flying out of your ass when Bush gets re-elected in November.  Maybe you should move to France or Alec Baldwinia...

I've seen the film and I'm taking more people back to see it. We're going to have parties of people going to see it. That and get people registered to vote. If they do win in November you can bet it was bought and paid for by Saudi and good taxpaying monies that they swiped in exchange for the dead bodies of the children of this country.

Dear Crystal and Ladyinwaiting,<BR>
Thank you for your kind words about my submission' Bearing No Gifts.'  It's not poetry, but it was the thoughts of my heart given voice, just the same.  (...and that's gotta count for something!)<BR>
<BR>
The man who inspires my writing is very devoted to me, but sometimes rambles about what others have brought to the table before me.  Sometimes it makes me feel inadequate in his eyes, but then I remember that for all they offered, it is 'me' that he has chosen to spend his time with, so I'm content(but a little insecure at times).<BR>
<BR>
I'm just a working class woman trying to keep all the plates spinning (as are the majority of us on the board.)<BR>
<BR>
I wish you all a super week, happy weekend, and a happy 4th of July.  Despite the polarity in politics, I believe we can all come together and celebrate the one all thing Americans do have in common- our Independence (and freedom of speech)!<BR>
Tricia<BR>

Let's give thanks that at least up until the current administration we have been fairly free to voice our opinions without fear of persecution from the Government.  However, those fundamental rights are being stripped away from us daily, sugar coated as a 'patriotic act'.  Wake up and smell the shit, it's getting deeper.<BR>
<BR>
I'm reminded of a story I heard recently; a head waiter was caught without dessert as the chef had quit.  He took some brown apples and a few walnuts left over from the previous year, mixed them together and put little toothpick flags on them, had the band play 'America the Beautiful', and marched the waiters out with the concoction.  The guests were enthusiastic in their praise.  His comment later was that you could serve up any kind of shit with a flag on it and fool the people, without fail.  I suspect our current administration would agree.<BR>

I have YET to meet one person in this country who has had their rights infringed, limited or removed... and if one-tenth of one percent of the US population gets hassled over Patriot Act stuff in defense of our country against terrorism, then I say so be it.  After the worst foreign attack in the history of the US, our country has had no further attacks... due to the leadership and resolve of our President and our government.  The sad reality is that you either think 9/11 is America's fault or you really don't give a rat's ass about it in the first place...<BR>
<BR>
Clinton and Reno slapped the hands of those who did the first WTC attack by taking them to court (like the good attorneys they were).  We shoulda taken out the Taliban THEN, and Bin Laden shoulda been eradicated with all his ghouls back then.  Didn't happen... and our current President cleaned up that mess and ratcheted-up our country's defenses significantly.<BR>
<BR>
Again, I am neither Republican nor Democrat (although I used to be a DEM and liberal for years, as well as a "wannabee Buddist" and Unitarian Universalist - until 9/11 woke me up to the core values and beliefs instilled by my parents and the country's founders).  Both parties are evil, as far as I am concerned.  And the manipulations of the likes of Moore are even more evil (the norm for Hollywood).<BR>
<BR>
Moore actually was quoted a few years ago as saying "Americans are perhaps the stupid-est people in the world" - so any of you that support or agree with that, go ahead and continue to spew bile and hatred.  My theory is that the more hatred you minority ultra-liberals spew, the more likely Bush will be re-elected.  That bile invalidates every good thought you would have us believe in you - you can't beat a dog and pretend to love humanity.  Move to Canada where Michael Moore makes his movies... be a hater pretending to be a lover.<BR>
<BR>
If Clinton or Kerry would've been courageous enough to go to war in defense of America, Haliburton would still have been awarded reconstruction contracts because that is what they do.  And don't tell me Kerry is a war hero - he served in Nam for four months and had some tiny schrapnel fragments picked out of his ass... and played the system to win medals he knew he'd use for personal political gain later.<BR>
<BR>
I didn't even vote for Bush the first time, for the record.  I'll check back in here at the Blender on November 3rd to watch the monkeys flying outta your asses...<BR>

Am i ever relieved you never voted for Bush...whew Sush, i A would have had to lit a candle for you at your choice of churches of whats happening now. I am neither Republican nor Democrat as well but the blatent out and out sinister corruption of our country that's as plain as the nose on your face, well unlike you I have a tendency to call a spade a spade. Especially ones that will go down in history as truly EVIL. (But what the hey, I was raised to know the difference between the two. (Good and EVIL)<BR>

(One last post and then I'll see you in November...)<BR>
<BR>
The United States of America has liberated millions of oppressed Iraqis in this war, and that is historic - that trumps everything else.  If the US benefits from oil in the process, all the better (but that line of "war for oil" thinking shows a depth of ignorance).  As I watch the news tonight describe a new hopeful future for the women and children of Iraq, I can say that I am proud to be an American and I am proud of our President's leadership in ridding the world of Saddam Hussein and bringing freedom to the Iraqi people.<BR>
<BR>
I am ashamed for all those of you that hate our President and our country... and particularly for all of you who think Michael Moore is some kind of hero.

Michael Moore has an opinion just like Mel Gibson and Cecil DeMille have (had).  How can you denigrate him in the same sentence you proclaim loudly to be a 'Proud American'?  And yes, we've certainly demontrated our superiority over the likes of Saddam by teaching the Iraquis how to properly run a prison system.<BR>
<BR>
Go sell booze to young people and let them loose on the highways Mark.  <BR>
<BR>
Imcidently, I didn't vote for Bush in the last election either, and I'm not a fan of Michael Moore.

We have not won anything yet. Though we do have Saddam in captivity at the moment, I think giving him back to the Iraquis will be like giving him to the three stooges. While they poke each others eyes out, he will sneak out the back door.  You fail to mention Osama (the man we are supposed to be after, and the guy everyone seems to think is going to pop out of the woodwork just at election time) <BR>
  And you fail to mention 7 trillion dollars that we owe for this war or the lives involved dead and or alive that will never be the same again because of what they have had to endure. Bushwacker and family have made a billion dollars off the Saudis (no wonder he has that smirky grin)  I think this fact alone should eliminate him from being president of anything except maybe one side of Mars (the dark side)<BR>
<BR>
"There's no question about it: The corporate conservatives and their allies in the political and religious right are achieving a vast transformation of American life that only they understand because they are its advocates, its architects, and its beneficiaries. In creating the greatest economic inequality in the advanced world, they have saddled our nation, our states, and our cities and counties with structural deficits that will last until our children's children are ready for retirement, and they are systematically stripping government of all its functions except rewarding the rich and waging war.” --Bill Moyers<BR>
<BR>
I rest my case for the moment and I love Michael Moore. He said it loud and clear, why should an uneducated white guy with a ball cap have to be the one that points it out to you. The media is bought and paid for from the billion dollar profits the bushes gleaned from this war. In other words money talks and the rest of us are supposed to be like lemmings and follow this ASSHOLE of a leader off the cliff. Catching Saddam was nothing, the hatred of this country is immense. They think we are all like you Mark money grubbing imperialists. But as my son said (Like Mother England like child...US)<BR>
