Is this a discussion or just a name calling contest?
It never fails to amaze me that the screams about Michael Moore as a propagandist comes the loudest from those who love to quote Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, Ann Coulter and the Moonie-owned Washington Times as if propaganda was a breath of needed fresh air. One would think ya'll would appreciate good propaganda, since you voraciously devour it every day in your search for a new enemy, a new war, and someone new to blame for every foreign and domestic ill.
Now let's get something straight here, Rich - you didn't join the military years ago out of this deep love and devotion for the ideals and Constitution of this country - you did it for Numero Uno. And while that happened to coincide with doing service for your country, you certainly didn't miss an opportunity to get as much of the taxpayers' benefits as possible to forward your own personal agenda. Why don't you get off this bitter self hero-worship rant and act like you are an American citizen who served his country instead of someone who trained for years in order to turn against his own fellow citizens? I can't apologize because Congress didn't put your head up over all the Presidents on Mt. Rushmore - or that we don't have your portrait in every school classroom and teach our kids how to goosestep with their mini assault weapons in recognition of your fear that a road runner might get across the dried-up Rio Grande and eat a piece of American rangegrass.
So ya say you are afraid for this country? Well, isn't that what being a rightwinger is all about dude? Spreading fear, and using it to create a police state? You know, something that would guarantee your law enforcement career a prime rib on the table every night and a chance to use your own array of personal WMD's to plow down fellow citizens who might voice disagreement? And you know the plan to get there is to plant as much fear and hysteria as possible...you know, your correct "religion" has to be about "fearing" God...we gotta fear the French, fear the damned leftists, fear the next door neighbor, fear the guys in uniform who haven't learned how to goosestep, fear the hometown newspaper cuz it doesn't publish patriotic speeches every morning all over the front page. We gotta fear the "liberals" (who must be everyone who isn't toeing the PARTY line), fear our educators. . fear a speck of dirt in our toenails, fear the U.N., and goddammit, we better be ready to shoot our damned shadow in the midst of the night cuz we might need to be afraid of ourselves when we sleep, too. Ain't that the whole agenda, buddy?
And to satisfy that fear, we are supposed to trust the cream of the Party's finest to lead this nation into oblivion. Yep...that's right...we gotta blindly follow a Party that couldn't nominate anyone better than a man with an addictive personality who has trouble expressing himself - who keeps confusing popular elections with an appointment by God, and who feeds every divisive fire possible in this nation while demanding complete loyalty because "we are at war." Anyone who thinks differently from the Party line - who expresses it in the media, in an opinion, who says something outside some fanatical "church" is a disloyal, unpatriotic, god-forsaken illiterate trash excuse for humanity and should be shot.
No wonder in the last few days, your Administration has been attacked by the wife of the vice president for his support for dismantling the Constitution, attacked by the nations leading scientists for substituting ideologues for scientific research in areas of health, and accused by none other than a damned park police official of firing people who didn't toe the Party line in being a proper ideologue in protecting our national icons.
Now, you go on and worry about all those nasty people in other countries who we gotta keep invading and taking over. . .and we'll pretend that you don't really know that it's a nice coverup for a little tyrannical terrorism going on right here at home, and supported by your divine leader and the Party.
The only scary thing here is that we might wake up one morning and find out that Moore was somehow right and we were too busy listening to still another rightwing temper tantrum to hear the message clearly.
