There is no need for both of us to do the same thing. After all, we are not clones, now are we?

Are you suggesting I don't post my honest opinions on this forum?

No what I am suggesting is that you don't post obvioulsy psuedo-honest opinions masquerading as being "fair" all in the name of being contrarian.

You know that micahel moore is nothing more than a two bit side show huckster.

I just won't suffer your contrarian charade.

Well, I have to agree with you that indeed I don't do that. Cheers.

Cheers to you also, Torie, just don't get caught up in the made up hoopla of snake oil salesman moore, just because in some of your social circles, it is the fashionable thing to do.

Golden Retriever. Gentle, smart, loyal and fun loving. Great with kids.

Smart? When it rains mine sits on TOP of her doghouse! Personally I think she's a little bit 'flicted.

It takes all kinds - Know Your Enemy!

If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear
the result of a hundred battles. If you know yourself but not the enemy,
for every victory gained you will also suffer a defeat. If you know neither
the enemy nor yourself, you will succumb in every battle.

America is in no danger of too much religious fundamentalism. Every day, God is being forced further from our American public discourse. He doesn't like it either.

Yeah so, I and many others know that michael moore is a two bit snake oil salesman.

I don't need to plunk down 8 bucks to find out something I already know.

Imagine if, on Sept. 11, the U.S. Air Force had blown four passenger jets to kingdom come. Moore's film would be filled with poignant home movies of final Christmases and birthday parties and exploitative footage of anguished parents going to Washington to demand the truth about what happened that day and an end to the lame Bush spin about vague "threats" to public buildings.

Steyn BUMP.

Thanks for the ping, Pokey.

I wish Mr. Steyn hadn't dropped himself to liberal standards when he made fun of Moore's size and suggested he looked like the King's brother.

....although it is a funny mental picture, I must admit. ;^)

Oh, OK. You're a Liberal pretending to be Conservative when it's interesting to do so. Have fun.

BTW, you can always pay more tax than you have to. They never return a check.

I saw the movie tonight with my liberal Democrat girlfriend and her liberal sister and yes, liberal brother-in-law.

I was more upset by Moore's manipulative sketch of the dead soldier's mother, and her visit to Washington.

The pictures of the wounded soldiers... Hell, war is ugly. The soldiers said that themselves. That it changes you forever.

But damn, folks, people DIE in conflicts. We lost the same amount of men and women that get killed in auto accidents over a 4 day weekend.

That said, Bush is going to have a real hard time getting re-elected, IMO. It's shameful and disgusting that some of my friends and fellow Americans fall for this type of bullsh*t.

I told them what is wrong with Halliburton getting contracts? I asked them who they would hire to build their airplanes. Lockheed or Boing. Certainly not Air-Buses-R-Us.

Well it's only Halliburton or Bechtel, IMO. Hire the best.

Sorry for rambling, but the movie depressed me a bit as far as Bush's chances.

What are you afraid of?

Is a boycott your #1 concern? Or do you think we can't think for ourselves and hold-on to our conservative values after viewing it?

Hey whatever, there is reason for the adage "A fool and his money are soon parted".

According to your screen name you also live in the DC area or maybe DC itself.

No wonder you are depressed. You should get out of the beltway sometime.

Tell me about it. I'm just very nervous about the possibility of a Bush defeat. The Supreme Court is getting a facelift soon.

The USA will be gone as you know it in the next 30 year, if the country goes LEFT.
