1. Maybe Michael just doesn't get around to looking at the polls. But the majority of Americans are behind the President, and Michael knows that number will only climb after war breaks out. Also no one is passionate about killing anyone. I suggest President Bush look for those that are passionate about protecting ourselves from mad dictators. Americans who support the war are not blood thirsty, we simply live in reality and know a killer cannot be contained.
2. You know I don't remember Michael complaining when Clinton was dropping bombs on Belgrade to distract from Monica. Of course maybe I just wasn't paying any attention to him. I could be wrong. But make no mistake that Bush is not seeking a distraction, he is seeking US national security. I mean someone has to protect Michael's right to be a moron.
3. Bill Maher, LOL! How bad do you have to suck that the best you could come up with in your letter was something Bill Maher said.
4. OK with all due respect the pope isn't exactly himself these days, and honestly what else did you expect to hear him say. The Ditsy Chicks are idiots who are now apologizing for their remarks to try and avoid getting booed off the stage when they go on their tour in the states, and can someone help me with this question. I tried to do a search to see if Michael Moore ever served in combat. I can't even find out if he served period. I would find it interesting that he bashes on politicians for their lack of service if he himself never put on a uniform.
5. UMMM, maybe Michael doesn't know that our armed forces are an all volunteer service. Does anyone remeber Moore hollering that Chelsea enlist during Clintoons terms in office? I don't either!
6. OK I'm convinced! Michael Moore does not read polls. He apparently does not realize that a majority of Americans are peeved at the French right now. First off what does Chevy, or the movies have to do with America being here. Second, I love the Statue of Liberty as much as the next American, but let's be honest, it is one symbol of hundreds in our country. If the French never gave it to us do you think Americans would be yearning for one. AHHH yes the Revolutionary War. The good 'ol days when the French knew how to put up a good fight against tyranny. Of course after that they turned into sissies who surrender to tyranny faster then Michael does to an aerobics exercise. Apparently Michael doesn't realize that if their was no America there would be no France either.
All I can say is he hasn't found any of those screws that came loose. But hey Michael think positive, someday, sometime, just maybe, someone will actually take you serious.
Today's diatribe is neither well thought out nor accurate.
1. The American public overwhelmingly supports President (not Governor - do some research on the Electoral College) Bush in this action. OVER-WHELMINGLY. You may not like that fact, but you really need to accept it.
2. The most damaging threat to our economy at this point is indecisiveness. Once the markets got an indication of what path we were about to take, they skyrocketed. Oil prices will come down. Productivity will go up, since less of the economy will be diverted to transportation costs. 401Ks will rebound.
3. The whole world is NOT against President Bush. France, Germany & Belgium do not qualify as the entire world. Nor does Hollywood. Perhaps you need to broaden your circle a bit.
4. In fact, just yesterday (Sunday) the Pope said "Certainly, the leaders of Baghdad have the urgent duty to collaborate fully with the international community, to eliminate any reason for an armed intervention." Doesn't sound like the Pope is on Hussein's side to me.
4b. The Dixie Chicks? Are you serious? Their opinion is about as irrelevant as yours or Barbra Streisand's. when will you self-centered Hollywood types going to realize your NO MORE IMPORTANT THAN THE REST OF US. Fame does not equal intelligence or relevance.
5. The honorable men and women of our armed forces are 100% VOLUNTEERS. No one - NO ONE - has forced them to accept the duty they have volunteered for. Be thankful for their sacrifice, but don't judge others who elect to take other paths with their lives. Did you serve?
6. The French Connection. Mr. Chirac is going to have a lot of explaining to do when the depth of his country's involvement with the Iraqi regime is revealed. I also firmly believe the French are looking to weaken the U.S.A. in order to make a stronger and Franco-centric Europe.
6b. As for travel, President Bush visited Mexico, England and China prior to running for office. Perhaps you should use the internet for research (just once).
I've never agreed with your politics, but usually there's been an element of truth in your position. Not necessarily enough to convince me you were right, but enough for me to understand how you developed your position.
This time, you're just wrong. Wrong on a lot of things. Things that aren't subject to emotion. They're called facts.
Maybe you should stick to them (just once).
