The Brits are angry at Moore’s Marxist propaganda. And the Cubans are beyond irate.
great first paragraph. keep it up, please.
From the column...Michael Moore, the American documentary maker...specialises in searing indictments
When will Moore do a searing indictment of that trillion dollar mistake, public housing, which contributed to the evils of prostitution, illegal drugs, gun running, cop killing, murder, and rape?
Before Americans "buy into" government controlled health care, they need to take a good look at government controlled housing,
Moore is nothing but a fat scumbag who couldn’t find his you know what if he had to.
Minnette almost gets it.
Socialized medicine can NEVER work
Good article, but Vanity Fair is by William Makepeace Thackery. She seems to be confusing it Pilgrim’s Progress, by John Bunyan.
Minette reminds me of the Libs.
“Communism CAN work. We just didn’t quite have it right last go around.”
Interesting side note: a short list was released recently of the documentaries that are in the running so far this year for an Oscar, and “Sicko” wasn’t on it. Could it be that even the leftist morons in Hollywood realize they can’t put enough makeup on this particular pig to make it presentable on Oscar night? (I mean “Sicko,” not Barbra Streisand).
Apparently Minette Marrin has been able to see the truth about that slimy creep better than most foreign journalists. Congratulations are in order. I hope my Brit in-laws read this column. One of my Brit brothers in law thinks Moore is great. I tried to explain to him what demagogic liar he is, but he waved me off. He wanted to believe Moore’s lies.
I found how the World had been misled by prostitute Writers,
to ascribe the greatest Exploits in War to Cowards,
the wisest Counsel to Fools,
Sincerity to Flatterers,
Roman Virtue to Betrayers of their Country,
Piety to Atheists,
Chastity to Sodomites,
Truth to Informers.

Codswallop. This is the typical view of the British Socialist, though, unfortunately, this view has also become widespread to other "ordinary" British people who have no first-hand familiarity with the American system(s). The reality is that Socialized Medicine was one of the most frightening things (along with the crime) about living in the UK. The quality and the availability of getting appointments were seriously lacking, so much so that one often had to wait months for a simple visit, especially during the winter months. This happened to me and, eventually, I ended up visiting an "alternative" doctor, who had just finished his training and was working from his home.
Another thing that most people don't realize is that the "free" health care one is forced to purchase (it is directly usurped from paychecks) from the NHS is far more expensive than much better private health care policies that can be purchased in the U.S. However, the government's involvement in the health care industry here in the U.S. is also dragging down our own system, and all the "free" care that is given to anyone who desires it through the various government options is driving up both our taxes and insurance costs.
Socialism is based on theft and greed and will NEVER work. Period.
