Privatise Profit Socialize Risk
by Relugus
Jun 13th, 2009
01:42:33 AM
Is the mantra of our elites. Wall Street does not want government touching their sacred profits, but they have no qualms about sponging off the taxpayer. The bailouts were welfare handouts for the rich. And then there's the Spentagon, which is ass-raping the US taxpayer with its pointless and obsolete weapons programs, with its ridiculous, farcically huge budget. Spending more than the rest of the world on defence is unnecessary, wasteful and stupid. If social welfare lost $2 trillion dollars of taxpayers money conservatives would be screaming murder, but the Pentagon does it and no one says a word. The millitary industrial complex is bleeding America dry. Eisenhower warned the American people and they are paying the price for not heeding his warnings.

More biased shit then?
by The Dark Shite
Jun 13th, 2009
02:04:18 AM
Moore has to be the most one-sided, biased documentary film-maker around. He manipulates the facts to suit his argument & leaves out anything that might contradict his own opinion.

The classic one being when he gave a list of the so-called "Co-alition of the willing", omitting all the countries with power. It was needless & fucking insulting & I say that as someone who was against the Iraq war.

The irony is, the kind of people he goes after are so fucking bad, they'd show themselves for what they are without having to resort to such tactics, which are designed to appeal to people who wanna feel smart by watching a documentary, but actually don't know shit about anything.

Compare Moore to John Pilger. Now THAT's a documentary maker!

I said the same about 3 comments up.

Everything he does is biased & has an agenda.

Once he sets his sights on a subject, he'll always make sure the finished film shows whatever his opinion is, instead of the facts.

It's also worth noting, that he makes a lot of stuff up. As far as I'm concerned, a film like fahrenheit 911 is equally as guilty of spin as the people he was trying to expose.

GOOD documentary makers have no bias at all.

Speaking as a Brit, I can see how Micheal Moore might seem like a beacon of truth compared to the big business-sponsored bullshit Americans get spponfed on their so called "News" programmes, but he's not much better.

If anything, he does the same thing, just from the opposite viewpoint. Clowns to left of me, jokers to the right..

Then we can air lift his ginormous carcass to Cuba and we'll see how much he praises their socialized system over ours THEN. Or gee, do you suppose the rich shit (who continually likes to pretend he isn't wealthy and is just an "average joe" like you or me) will cry his eyes out and demand to be treated here in American hospitals using OUR health system?

I used to think a lot of Moore but recently it's become harder, his films are so slanted. They actually lose through being so biased - even though I very often agree with his general argument, it's getting harder and harder to defend his lack of impartiality.

The problem with Moore..
by The Dark Shite
Jun 13th, 2009
04:38:01 AM
Isn't in what he says, it's in the way he edits & chops up statements to make them look rediculous, essentially taking quotes out of context.

The way he manipulates facts/ommits anything that might show his targets in a good light, or even a normal one.

Earlier, I gave the easiest example (because I haven't seen the film for a while), where he mocks the co-alition by reading out small countries. I can't remember the exact ones he mentions, but for example, it was like "Luxembourg, Belgium, Lithuania" etc. That one stands out in my memory, because it was a hack thing to do. Anyone with half a brain would see the blatant bias in not mentioning the key allies, who are substantially more powerful & useful. It also exposed him for having(whisper it), a pretty neo-con view of the world.

Like BenBraddock, politically, I'm on Moore's side. But I don't need deceit to fight my battles, when the truth speaks for itself.

by The Dark Shite
Jun 13th, 2009
06:45:55 AM
John Pilger doesn't have an agenda.

The BBC doesn't have an agenda & is legally bound to never have one.

It's just as possible to entertain without changing the facts, as it is to make an argument without slanting the truth.

Besides, the guy's an idiot. He used to have TV shows in the U.K, before he found a subject controversial enough to make him enough money to buy a 3rd world country.

In one of those shows, he'd invite people to call in. It was around the time when one of the Kennedys went missing at sea. I don't know which one. I didn't really care much.

I can distinctly remember Moore talking about the Kennedys & then looking down on the people of the U.K for having a monarchy.

His point seemed to be that having a Monarchy is unfair/ how unjust it is that they get special treatment & how much better the system in the U.S is. Then he went back to the search for this Kennedy guy.

I thought to myself "You don't even realise it's the same fucking thing, do you?".

They don't have titles or crowns, but it's the same thing. How many Planes, Helicopters & Navy ships would be out searching for a normal guy for that long?

Moore just forms opinions, based on nothing more than whatever thoughts pop into his head at the time, then does everything he can to back himself up & influence opinion to match his own.

He's like the loud, obnoxious bloke in the pub, who won't let something drop until he's proven himself right & everyone else wrong.

While I do like his movies, I view them as just that...movies. In much the same way I view Lord of the Rings or Mega-Shark vs. Giant Octopus. I find them entertaining, but I'm smart enough to not take them as gospel truth. Think of them as "based on actual events" and you'll be fine.

Documentaries are a Point of View
by styles99

09:31:50 AM
Hate to say it, but all documentaries have a certain POV. Yes, he can try and approach one as unbiased as possible, but as a filmmaker, the second you make a decision to place an edit, you are a personal decision. The moment you decide to leave one clip in, and another clip out, you are deciding what you personally think it important and what isn't. That is a Point of view. Go watch the Christmas Log burning if you want unbiased filmmaking....

by marcspector
Jun 13th, 2009
10:02:45 AM
Even a photographer of still news images makes a choice of what subjects he includes or does not include in the frame. That choice alone is a form of bias and has an effect on the viewer. But there is a difference between *discovering* the artist's conclusion and knowing the bias when entering the theater. The entire experience is basically an elaborate sales presentation. No matter how great the film is, there is something kind of weird about movies like this. These kinds of films are really for people who already agree with what is being sold and want their beliefs confirmed.

Thing is, that's the only way Republicans repsond to anything. Republicans are flat-out bullies, who use shouting and intimidation to talk over everyone. Even when you confront them with, say, the photo of a person who died as a result of their actions and efforts, they will not accept it. They will call you the villain. And they have absolutely no moral authority whatsoever. The ONLY way to defeat them is to expose them to others. You cannot tell a bully his point of view is wrong, because he already KNOWS it's wrong - that's why he's being a bully. The benefits to him outweigh the consequences to everyone else ... that's the defintion of WHAT makes a person a Republican. So, the only thing you can do is lay the photo of the dead girl on the doorstep and hope SOMEONE, ANYONE finds that so awful that they'll think for just a second "Hey, maybe being a Republican is putting blood on MY hands." It most likely won't work when the alternative is money and power - in fact, I near-guarantee it won't work - but at the very least you tried to fight that insurmountable human evil.

Did you guys see the left and right coming together? Did you see the high fives George got from even the left? Everybody forgot party. Slowly the ones who chastised W for not going in fast enough, became haters of the war. I remember all of you fucking pining for us to hit Iraq. Yeah you say Bush called for an invasion of a fine dictatorship. He lied to us. Joke. It should have been left in place? Sadam was an angel just like Kim is.

Moore's bias undermines...
by Relugus
Jun 13th, 2009
10:47:02 AM
...the valid arguments he does have. Moore does not attack all corruption which means he fails as a satirist, for the true satirist does not take sides; he/she attacks greed and corruption wherever he sees it. Pilger makes valid points but his political correctness leads to him giving certain people (Castro and Chavez) a free pass. The BBC is nicknamed the Brown Broadcasting Corporation, it is full of Labour supporters (such as Michael Crick and Andrew Marr) who have tarnished its impartiality.
BBC is bias + socialism scare mongering
by filmkiwi

Firstly, The Dark Shite, the BBC is sensationalist and bias to garner popular opinion. Look at all this crap about the PM and a BBC headline "Brown could still be forced out of office" when it's a tiny minority of his party trying to oust him. I'm not for the guy but you really shouldn't believe everything the BBC say, especially as any news source is going to be bias simply because they have to simplify everything to the point where the original point is lost. Why shouldn't the Obama administration nationalise some of the failing companies? Americans have been so scared by the word 'socialism' and the evil Russians that you have to put up with some of the worst health care and financial support in the western world and that's not just according to Michael Moore, that's just fact. So nationalise some of the banks and big corporations, get some of the money to go back to the people rather than just ceo's pockets and start sorting the country out yourself rather than leaving it up to a corporation. Lastly. Take everything MM says with a container of salt but at least he's better than FOX News, or more aptly called, 'What an insane Australian wants to tell you to think today'

Just people who would take a quarter even if it meant ten people would die. Forget that old story about the million dollars for one. "A Republican would take a single quarter, people other places in the world will die." "But I get the quarter, right?" You don't believe me? THEY DO THIS EVERY DAY - with fast-food, CEO robbery of people's retirement money, deliberstely lax gun control, tobacco lobbyist money ... and, lest you think I'm exaggerating, consider the case of anti-freeze. Repeatedly, Democrats have tried to enforce a regulation that would require anti-freeze manufacturers to insert a chemical that would cost less than a penny a barrel into anti-freeze to make it taste bitter rather than sweet to stop very young children from mistaking it for a candty drink (it's that sweet) and dying as a result. Through fillibusters and lobbying, they have forced the vote down every time, the Republicans - so, basically, they are saving quarters but letting kids die. So, there you go - not the Devil, just good students of him.

"I learned it from watching you!" Seriously, it's the behavior I've observed that's so reprehensible. On almost every issue, the Republicans take the side of negativity - fear, hatred, viciousness. This is a political group that believes it's in their better interest to poison babies in Africa than sanction a company (Nestle) for doing that. Think about that. They thought it was BETTER to POISON BABIES in AFRICA than PLACE SANCTIONS ON A COMPANY FOR DOING THAT. The Republicans had to be FORCED ALONG with the sanctions against Nestle. Do some research.

Not every business person is completely unethical. Of course. What's supposed to stop egregious behavior is government regulation and that's been slowly torn down since the Reagan administration. We need regulation to prevent future economic crises like the current one. We should not have lowered interest rates and we should not have bailed out the companies that we did. They could have gone into bankruptcy and the crisis would hve passed sooner. However, if the companies were limited like they were 30 years ago, this crisis would never have happened.

He is generally pointed in the right direction though, and at least he sparks conversation. Unfortunately it requires all the facts to be eaten, processed, edited, and then shat out in pre-formed movie format with comedy, outrageousness, and simplistic/crazy claims. Otherwise nobody would be able to pay attention for 90 minutes to a movie about something that dominates the news and impacts their lives and futures.

Look at Gandhi and Kings viewpoints and you will see they fit with the Democrat party, no matter who they pledged to years ago. Civil rights? Free speech? Less monoplies/big business?

In terms of hunting and guns, I doubt most conservatives feel the same, and I'll rant here, but seriously, coming from a liberal: go hunt. I spearfish myself, its fun. Just actually go HUNTING instead of driving around shooting stuff, and please don't deplete the animals (y'know so they can be around to be hunted)

I also don't care if you own a gun, as long as its a gun you might actually use to hunt or defend, and not a military spec assault rifle for WWIII. Every guy has a boner for hardware, but that doesn't mean people need an AK47, an AR51, sniper rifles, and other high powered stuff under their bed.

I don't like Michael Moore. i really don't like the guy. At the same time, I really don't understand all the the hatred towards him; I don't understand all the attention either.

Moore's docs have been proven to be, at best - misinformation, at worst - out and out lies time and time again. He really is just a bully with a camera spewing hate and stirring up resentment for his own private gain.

Are we to hate him for that? Hell no, free enterprise and all that; the guy's simply making a living playing by the rules he was given.

Yet, we all sit here and debate his claims and "facts" and get pissed at each other.

The bottom line is, Michael Moore's documentarys are for people who are to lazy to find the whole truth or people who won't look at the big picture and realize that on any issue just about everybody is partially wrong all the time. Moore stands for one reason only: to preach to the choir. He offers nothing new to any intelligent discussion and regurgitates opinion as fact. His main M.O. throughout his career has been ambushing people with a camera in their face and using the element of surprise in order to look like he "WON" the debate.

This is not agame, and none of his subjects so far have been either. Some people prey on all of America's special interests to keep everybody divided on the little issues mainly dealing with civil libeties and all that does is keep our eyes off the ball.

But again, Moore is not to blame for any of this; we are. We who have given him a mouthpiece and allowed him to stand on his soapbox for all these years. The people who have given their money through ticket or DVD sales have kept him in power. Watching "SHOCKING NEWS SHOWS" in whch he is the guest. All we have to do is look away and he'll go away.

What I love reading here is all you people who, rather that make a point about his films or skills, resort to "He's fat!" as an "argument." Yes. He's obese. Big fucking deal. His films are not documentaries. Erroll Morris makes great documentaries. Man on Wire is a great documentary. Moore's films are polemics. He is a hard left populist just as much as Glen Beck or Rush Limbaugh are hard right populists. Does he edit to support his positions? Of course! Are his positions worth twisting facts for? I believe so. I have no problem with someone exposing the effects of moving jobs offshore on once powerful American industries. I have no problem with someone exposing the effects of unfettered gun ownership (I own guns and I have no problem with the government knowing about it and am willing to have my ability to own guns limited). I definitely have no problem with the evils of the health insurance industry or the effects of unregulated corporate greed being targeted in a biased matter. Someone has to voice these things. A least with Moore you know you are getting a hard left voice and he wouldn't deny it. But hell, for a lot of y'all who disagree with him, all you can say is "he's fat!" Well, George Lucas is fat, too. Harry's fat (oh, yeah. you shitbirds attack him for that too). Marlon Brando was fat. Orson Welles was fat. Chris Farley was fat. Most people living in America are fat (myself included). What the fuck does saying it add to any conversation?!!?!?! IF it's all you can say, you must be stupid. So how about this. Everyone who posts that someone is fat instead of a reasoned argument or an unreasoned opinion, well, we can begin every response to that person with "You're a shithead." So all you folks who pointed out Moore's weight problems rather than making a point are shitheads. ALL of you.

Aside from New Zealand, there is no place I would rather live than America (New Zealand just seems like a nice quiet corner of the world). Even with all the crap, our crap is still preferable to the crap of others. There are plenty of people who say lots of nice things about America. Moore even does at times. He is hopeful that America will be the country he would like it to be and believes he has the right to make a case for that. But he is a muckraker and it is the muckraker's job to point out the shit they see going on in the hope that someone will clean it up. If you don't want to smell the shit he's digging up, don't watch him. If you do watch him, know that it's going to smell and it may make you angry for one reason or another. He wants you to be angry. It's his job. He may even want you to be angry at him. But if he gets you to think about the issue from his perspective just a little, then he opens your mind to the possibility that there is a problem that needs to be addressed. He's very good at this. Some people, however, don't want to hear that there are people dying because someone at an insurance company refuses to pay for a necessary treatment and they get angry at him for blaming American policy for the problem because they do not want to accept that even in our great country there are those who would rather make a profit than provide life-saving service.

Michael Moore is not everybodies cup of tea but the man is one smooth operator as this nice post that couldn't even get the most rabid reactionary upset will explain. Jim Kenefick runs one of the most popular anti-Moore websites, Moorewatch.com. Last year Mr Kenefick's wife was taken ill with a neurological disorder but with no medical insurance, he was struggling to pay for her health care. In desperation, he posted a note on his site pleading for help and stating that he would "be in your debt for all of time" for any assistance in these troubled times. Mr Kenefick received a cheque from an anonymous individual for a lump sum of $12,000, equivalent to a year's medical fees for his wife. It was enough to ease the crisis and ensure the continuation of the website, so Mr Kenefick banked the cheque and put up a thank you note to the person he called his "guardian angel". You can guess what's coming can't you. After some digging to find out the identity of the altruistic donor it was revealed as the man he had dedicated years to bad mouthing. Confirmation came from Moore himself, who left a message on Mr Kenefick's answer machine confirming that he was the donor, adding: "I wish you my best." Classy."

Go look up the footage of the bank robbery in Burbank where heavily armed and armored gunmen wreaked havoc on an unprepared and under-armed police force. Do we need heavily armed civilian militias who have paranoid delusions of the "government" fed to them by hate radio? Why shouldn't someone who buys a gun (myself included - I have an Enfield Mark 3 and a Mossberg pump action) submit to a background check? If you have something to hide, you shouldn't own a gun. You don't need a gun TODAY, so what's wrong with a waiting period? And can you really tell me it's necessary to have a Dragonov sniper rifle to go hunting? Sport target shooting, maybe (I'd like to fire one...sure). But hunting? What are you hunting from that distance? Why do you need an AK or a submachinegun to hunt? What are you hunting? Oh, wait, we're back to protecting ourselves from our armed police...right.

Is Pelosi hard left? Really? But seriously, people on both sides use facts to encourage others to see things from their side. It just seems like the hard right tends to use their facts to incite people to paranoia, large scale ammunitions purchases and the occasional lone wolf killings of innocents or targeted enemies. I'm trying to remember the last time someone Moore or Olbermann's rhetoric resulted in someone's death or paranoid stockpiling of weaponry in the fear that the government was coming to get them and take their "freedom". Please remind me of when Pelosi proposed a "hard left" law or was factually incorrect in a speech. Please remind me of that.

Hey, you know what? I actually believe our country works and that no one is coming for my rifle or ever will. For one, I live in Arizona, which would go all kinds of crazy first. Arizona is the crazy gun capital of the world if you did not know (Cowboy ethics and all). Second, Democrats have no spines. The most they want to legislate is registry and waiting periods and, sometimes, a limit of the number of bullets that can leave the barrel of the gun in a given amount of time. I have no issue with this. Anyone who thinks the Democratic party wants to disarm the county does not really understand the Democratic party. All they really want is to be in charge. I mean, really. Do you think they can take all our guns away if they can't pass an amendment making abortion or gay marriage constitutional? Those are much bigger liberal issues than taking our guns away and the Democrats cannot even get those right. Please. Stop buying into the paranoia. We are not Poland or Germany or Russia. Those countries all had/have popuations that were culturally programmed for dictatorships. Americans are culturally programmed for "freedom". Plus, there are too many people with too many guns, legal or no. Even if all the good citizens like me turned in our Enfields, there would still be a million others who kept them in a safe somewhere...

Bottom line is he loves this country. He just thinks Obama is taking us down the wrong road.

And he speaks truth to power, did so when many (including the 'mainstream liberal media') were too chicken to do so. A lot of theories he raised in F9/11 were not the ultimate truth.

ANOTHER RIGHTWING ASSASSINATION: THIS TIME A FATHER AND CHILD

TUCSON, Ariz. — Two of three people arrested in a fatal southern Arizona home invasion had connections to a Washington state anti-illegal immigration group that conducts border watch activities in Arizona.

The Pima County sheriff said Friday that 34-year-old Jason Eugene Bush, 41-year-old Shawna Forde and 42-year-old Albert Robert Gaxiola have been charged with two counts each of first-degree murder and other charges.

The trio are alleged to have dressed as law enforcement officers and forced their way into a rural Arivaca home on May 30, wounding a woman and fatally shooting her husband and their 9-year-old daughter.

The Web site for the Minutemen American Defense lists Forde as the group's leader and Bush as its operations director. Forde is from Everett, Wash., but has recently been living in Arizona.

He makes documentaries profitable in a country that gets bored with entertainment that doesn't feature explosions. And his stuff is dead-on (especially Sicko and Fahrenheit 9/11), which is why the rightwing hates the guy. He has to make the docs this way, with sarcasm, emotion and, yes, sensationalism. Otherwise, he'd get zero attention. And let's face it, 'leftist' infotainment is at least actually informational and largely accurate, while the right only has the same lies repeated over and over again (Clinton could've gotten Bin Laden, wrong he never had such an opportunity, Obama's not a US citizen, wrong his birth certificate exists and has been verified, healthcare in other developed countries is worse than ours, wrong as average US lifespan is at the level of a small Eastern European country, we fight just wars, wrong we fight for profit and special interests). Indeed, Obama may be, at best, a centrist who has continued many of the same policies as Bush (including hand-outs to superrich banking institutions), BUT I am very much looking forward to Moore's take on the financial crisis. It will likely be equal parts entertaining and informational and will enrage the right, who can go screw their statues of Ronald Raygun for all I care.

I think Obama is far from perfect and deserves to be criticized, if such criticism is honest and intelligent not pure fucking insane ramblings. If you can actually sit there and blame Obama for a mess that is 90% of the fault of the party that has dominated American politics the last 8 years (I will give you a guess, their name starts with R), than I think it is about time you go to a doctor and ask for stronger medication because the current dosage isn't working.

But the first part, that the BBC is biased. They aren't allowed to be. They're paid for by the people &b essentially owned by the Government. Part of their remit is to be unbiased. If a particular show or reporter is found to be unbiased, they get fined & & people lose their jobs.

At least in my opinion, as a neutral observer..

Well, as they say, it's a country of extremes. It's a cliche, but it's true.

You see it even on the TBs from time to time, where a right-wing supporter will be arguing with a left-wing supporter & neither will give an inch, even if the other guy makes a valid point. It usually ends up in nastiness & name calling.

The way I see it, for every normal American with a particular political view, there's a nutjob who takes things to extremes. & none of them are ever vindicated, because you live in a country of people doing the same.

Look at your politicians. Some of your right-wingers are the most hateful, paranoid people I've ever seen. Likewise, you have left-wingers who would happily reduce your country to nothing.

In-between, you have the normal, intelligent thinkers, who struggle to get their voices heard.

It reminds me of a quote I read once that summed it up. Something like "Pius & holy, wholesome & clean cut, yet it's possible to buy dwarf porn & a shotgun in one shopping trip."

Friends, I would have thought after having theroughly seen virtually all his films summarily debunked and laid bare by a fellow leftist (no less) in "Manufacturing Dissent" a real documentary about both Moore and his various causes, do we really have to do this dance again? Moore's one undying talent is to weave comedy into documentary that has forever been his claim to fame and nothing else.

What's really astounding about this is the same tired Leftist populist bent is going to sound somewhat dated and out of place, with Moore's antics unable to paper over bold faced political realities of GM simply being a poorly run company whose Unionized VOTERS were given extra time on company life support...so their company could go broke with all of our tax payer money.

I've read bits of it (not the whole thing, for the saem reason I can't read all of the Bible-I just find it preposterous). But I learned a lot of things I didn't know, like the fact that Jesus is a prophet in Islam & that it actually teaches peace & loving your fellow man the same as most remigions.

The problem lies not with the religion, but with the murderous pricks who use it as justification, the same way Christians used it over the years.

Michael Moore is just a person who is talking. He may not be accurate all of the time, but he doesn't have to be. He's not a reporter, he's not a politician, he's not a teacher. He's you or me or anybody else who's telling people the way he sees things. I know that some people think that just because a lot of people listen to what they say that it means that they are correct or some kind of leader. But that's not how the people who listen to what Michael Moore is saying see things. They don't just swallow what Michael says. They listen. Then they think about it themselves. Then they talk about it with other people. That is Michael's goal. Not to shove things down people's throats. He just wants to start people talking. Now, I know that some people have a problem with people talking and they label it dissent as if dissent is a bad thing instead of the core principle of being American. Well, that's too bad for those people. Talking is our greatest freedom in this country. We don't have to be right and we don't have to agree. We don't even have to talk. But we can. And if you have a problem with people talking because you think they are wrong, then talk about it. Like you are.

is why likely insolvent banks were able to post profits in Q1:2009. The general public and most politicians didn't balk or even come close to understanding how these deals work or what it means for our economy & society. The stock market saw our collective ignorance and rebounded. The perception (or presentation) of "reality" has become more important than the actual reality.

What this means is that the Treasury has awarded free, unaccountable, and totally unsustainable reign to the financial sector and the guru's facing shrinking production will attempt to shape value (and reality) like clay (ie. mark-to-market).

Moore might be extremely partisan and arrogant, but at least he's waving his hand saying "Hey! Look over here! You may want to pay attention to this, because it will profoundly affect your personal future as well as the rest of the world's"

Because the failure of GM he prayed for in "Roger and Me" has now come to pass. For this reason alone, I hope not a single person buys a ticket to his new film, regardless of whether or not his points are valid. He is celebrating the demise of American industry, and thus is doing more to destroy what's left of the economy than Obama ever can or will.

Two stories about Moore

One. After Bowling for columbine friends of Trey Parker and matt stone kept coming up to them and saying jeez the animation you did in bowling was great. stone and parker were amused at first. after a while it got out of hand. So matt stone went to see bowling for colombine and blew a fuse after seeing the movie. He sent out a statement saying that he and parker had nothing to do with the movie. What riled the pair was moores response in a newspaper that he had commisioned the pair do to the animation for his film. What actually happened was that moore was passing through utah and said that he was big fan of South park and that was all he needed to make the animation look like south park. two Farenheit 9/11. When doing promo work for that film. Moore said that he contacted pete townshend to use you wont get fooled again over the end credits s of farehnheit 9/11. Towenshend said that he eally wasnt interested in seeing the movie and wasnt a filmgoer. so he saw the film out of curiosity and he exploded when he saw the end of the movie. He opened up a can of verbal whoopass on moore. saying that he had never met him. did not know him and the who had instructed thier lawyers to take legal proceeding against Moore for copyright infringement. In his press statement Townshend called moore a liar.

Stop slapping on stupid regulations that none of America's competitors have to kowtow to. Lay off the social engineering.

(And if any of you poor souls out there don't have health care, then get a goddamn job that provides it, twits). Treat our armed forces with respect, give them the tools they need to win, and especially don't use them as political footballs and don't declare a war lost when our soldiers are still fighting it.

We had an election in 2007 and the people spoke. Like blair in the UK, ahern stood down and cowan took over. ur economy has gone into the toilet. Fine gale our now the biggest party in the country after last weeks Euopean and local elections in ireland. There was shift to the left and to the extreme left. Fine gale are center right party. Fianna Faill have been in power for 20 out of the last 23 years. A period in oppostion will have to happpen. Fianna fail have a lot in common with new labour. They are party of patronage like new labour. they have lnks to big business like new labour. Fine Gael are like the tories even down to thier sound bite about having an election and they have made contact have cameron and kenny. Ireland was the first to see through Declan ganley of libertas. His stalling tatics fooled no one last week in the RDS count centre. I wll say this about bertie aherne.

Not all on the Right have jumped off the psychological cliff. Just the "base". After the McCain/Palin rallies of 08, we know them all too well now. Country First is really code for Party First, Country Be Damned.

Secession is a far more dangerous crime than terrorism. Our country endured 9/11, and may have been even stronger if not for the Bush/Cheney Administration.

Yet, should the treasonous Rick Perry declare secession, it would devastate the United States like no other event in our nation's history. The entire country would erupt in chaos.

As you said, people like Ashoko act as blase about secession as terrorists act about the victims of their murders. They're all mentally deranged cowards.

"Cut corporate taxes": American corporations already pay among the lowest of effective corporate tax rates in the world. How does a further cut spur economic growth? How will those tax cuts encourage consumers to spend more? What benefit will corporate tax cuts have on the overall economy when corporate revenues are in constant decline?

"Stop spending like a fuckdrunk lottery winner": Depends on what you call "spending". Government has always constituted about 25% to 35% of GDP in peacetime. That figure goes up in wartime, as we are now. Do you want to take the money away from the military? Without stimulus jobs, the unemployment rate would be even higher. Stimulus jobs = money that eventually becomes income for small businesses to large corps. One construction project leads to revenue for everyone from local markets to steel and concrete manufacturers. With your "proposal", our soldiers would have insufficient armor and arms to do the job you sent them to do. And more jobs would be lost in a host of sectors. You call that a solution?

"Get the government out of the auto business": What does that mean? Let Chrysler and GM be sold off to foreign companies with no guarantees that they will use American auto workers and American parts suppliers? So what you're saying is just continue with the Republican agenda of global free trade to the detriment of our economy? Okay.

"Treat unions and companies with equal fairness": That's assuming Obama doesn't. What leads you to believe that? The unions have been forced by the government to accept huge concessions (and that is fair by my standards) to keep the auto companies viable. So what is your point?

"Stop slapping on stupid regulations that none of America's competitors have to kowtow to. Lay off the social engineering.": What regulations? Are you referring to gas efficiency and toxic emissions? We already have some of the most lax regulations in the world. And anyone who wants to sell a car in America - be they Chrysler, Honda, Mercedes, or Kia - has to conform to the same regulations. What's your point? Are you saying we should give American companies a break and hold foreign companies to stricter standards?

"STAY OUT OF THE HEALTHCARE BUSINESS": People in England and Canada are satisfied with their healthcare, not having to worry about going bankrupt when either they don't have insurance or when their insurance does not cover them for serious illnesses. Again, what is your point?

"(And if any of you poor souls out there don't have health care, then get a goddamn job that provides it, twits)": Health insurance is no guarantee of healthcare coverage. The providers goal is minimum payouts, maximum profits. You think simply having insurance means you never have to worry about costs. You're wrong. Read your policy's fineprint.

"Treat our armed forces with respect, give them the tools they need to win, and especially don't use them as political footballs and don't declare a war lost when our soldiers are still fighting it.": I agree with you there. Except Obama is doing every responsible thing to make sure they are well-equipped, well-treated (aka not being electrocuted by showers made by Cheney's Halliburton/KBR). The point of your post was to point out Obama's wrongs, right?

"OH, yes, and most importantly, buy American and vote Republican.": That's quite an ironic statement considering the Republicans blasted Obama for including Buy American provisions in the stimulus package, using "preserve global free trade" as their excuse.

"And there you go. So simple even your basic typical left-wing pseudo-intellectual can grasp it.": What's there to grasp? A uninformed partisan rant that has no basis in reality? How hard is that?

... which nearly destroyed the US banking system.

In other countries, prominently Australia, prudent regulations curbed the greedy excesses of investment bankers and reduced the damage caused by financial hillbillies in the US.

The idea that Obama is single-handedly making economic policy is puerile. His cabinet is making precisely the same decisions to re-establish financial stability as virtually every other democratic government in the world.

And as for subsidized healthcare, most democratic governments in the world have it. Whether or not the UK and Canada run their Health care systems rationally, there are dozens of countries which do. Why should the US stay permanently stuck in the 19th century? Switch off Fox and get educated.

We all knew that it was going to be defeated. perhaps the biggest and most important report in the history of the state was the ryan commission report into clercial abuse in industrial schools. The opposition defered that debate while they went ahead with thier poxy no confidence motion which they lost. thosuands of people marched on the dail many were surviovrs of those awful instutions and some were families of suvivors. and in the chamber of our parliment on the no confidence motion The two leaders had a go at one another. Taoiseach: deputy kenny has stated that our economy is going down the - Deputy kenny: i have never used the word toilet. That is the leve of debate that goes on in the dail. words fail me.The irish labour party has begun its General election campaign.

the banks trotted in to see the Irish minister for finance. The banks were not sound. but that was not the message the minister was given. they all went in and said the banks were all sound. Anglo irish bank was nationalised. and the rest were given the biggest state gaurantee in the history of the irish state. 500 billion. This was very big deal and the opposition tried to get questions but everything was a bit vague. The dail had allnighter and the legislation to cover the gaurantee was rushed through the dail and senate. Questions were and are still a bit vague. why did the irish govt choose to save anglo irish bank. Fianna fail has friends in high places and one of those was sean fitzpatrick. Anglo was the builder and property developer bank and fianna fail had strong connections to them. IN the same that new labour does. anyon who dared write negative news stories about the econonmy was accused of talking it down. and bertie had freinds who were property developers. I dont know how some people dont commit suicide when talking down to economy. Said bertie aherne the head of the task force on suicide prevention. to a buiness lunch in dubin. they all thought that was hilarious. The people trying to stop suicides in ireland didnt see the funny side. There will be alot more of them as business people ending up loosing everything. INcluding small business. The banks are lying throught thier teeth saying they back lending again. The banks association official says they are and fianna fail TD said they are not and he is gotten letters from small business. who are going to the wall. and all our polticians can say is that jobs are they priority. thier own?

I love the way you mention England & Canada (as if we're joined at the hip), then only mention Canada's supposed woes.

Let's put this straight. The NHS was formed on the basis that it is the right of every human being to have healthcare, wherever & whenever it is available. It wasn't based on wishful thinking/politics by the way, nor idealism, but on the medical code.

That's why even enemy combatants are treated on the field if need be. Does it work all the time? No. Are there waiting lists? Yes. Becaue it's free.

BUT, & this is something that American opponents do a Micheal Moore on (in other words they ommit the truth)...

We also have the same kind of private treatment you have. If we want it, we can have it. IF we can afford it, we can have it.

Treatment taking too long? Hey, if you can afford it, go private! It's there. It exists. You don't wanna wait? Pay. In that sense it's the same as the system you have now.

The difference is, those who can't pay, get treatment. Those without insurance, with no money, get treatment. Sometimes they have to wait, but waiting is better than no treatment at all.

Seriously- you're one of the most well spoken people on this website. It's nice to see someone who doesn't need to resort to vitriol to get a point across. Keep up the good work. That being said, there are a couple of things that we disagree on (I think.) As far as government sponsored healthcare, the last thing we need is Big Government telling us what we can't and can't do in regards to our health. Need an example? There already is government sponsored healthcare, and its called the Veteran's Affairs hospital and healthcare system. Seriously- after having seen how our vets are treated an dealt with, I wouldn't trust the government with running a 7-11 in the middle of Oklahoma, much less running national healthcare. There really has to be another way of going about it. Secondly- Obama hasn't really done much to see to it that our troops have gotten the tools they need to win these wars. Obama's SecDef- Robert Gates, has seriously gutted our military's development of new technologies at his boss's behest. I just can't agree with our troops not having the absolute best technology available, especially at a time when Iran is pushing for nukes, North Korea (however hollow their threat may be) is threatening nuclear war, and Communist China (who is hands down the biggest thief of American military secrets and technologies) and Russia have completely revamped and upgraded their war machines. As much as I would love to see us not need a military because we're all to busy holding hands and singing songs around the campfire, it's unrealistic. There's the old adage that we have what we need to win a war just in time for the next one. Cutting our defense spending and projects will fuck our soldiers, sailors, airmen, and marines in the long run. And oh yeah- the Attorney General is a douche.

Let's say you had a national health system. It wouldn't affect you at all.

I grew up in the U.K, I never had to use the NHS. I was always private, because my Dad was doing ok financially.

The notion that nationalisation of the health system means waiting lists & bad treatment is bullshit propoganda.

Both exist in tandem. If you can afford insurance/paying for private, you can.

The point of the NHS is to give healthcare for those who can't pay. Not you. Not the people complaining. It doesn't even affect you at all.

Your lives will be exactly the same.

Also, can we do away with the myth that the CRA's attempts to get banks to loan to minorities caused the economic collapse. Economists have looked into banks regulated by the CRA and those not regulated by the CRA and who provided more subprime loans. Guess what, banks who had no obligation to provide subprime loans actually gave out a lot more subprime loans who are not regulated under the CRA.

The country has undergone a radical privatization of hospitals in the last 15 years. Obama is not about to "take over" those hospitals nor is he going to build new ones. We are talking about voluntary opt-in system of healthcare coverage. If you want to keep your private plan, choose your own doctor, etc. you are free to do so.

We're not talking about a replication of the VA healthcare system, which I agree has been criminally neglected by Bush (especially since so many casualties have returned in the last 6 years due to Bush's wars). Obama did the right thing in installing General Eric Shinseki as VA Secretary. This is the same general who was fired by Rumsfeld when he said the invasion of Iraq required a far larger number of troops than were being sent. Had Rumsfeld heeded him, many American soldiers would still be alive. General Shinseki will improve services for our veterans.

Obama and Robert Gates ordered the cancellation of outdated, redundant and ineffective military contracts. At no time did they cut funding for vital supplies and arms. The military budget being one of the largest components of the entire federal budget, it was imperative that Obama ensured it was streamlined and made efficient. Bush and Rumsfeld abused the military budget with years and trillions wasted in notorious no-bid contracts to the likes of Halliburton. Shit, they were so corrupt they fired whistleblowers at the Defense Dept. Obama and Gates are simply countering that corruption.

I agree that our military should be the most advanced and effective in the world. The problem also is that companies that develop for us (like Lockheed Martin for example) also develop for other countries. They have no loyalty to America. I would vote to give Obama special powers to ensure that military technology developed here, stays here under secrecy laws.

I don't think you and I disagree very much. We just need to look at facts and not be distracted by the rants of uninformed Fox News drones and Dittoheads.

Look on the bright side - the stupider they are, the easier they are to crush. And all indicators show that the rabid fringe elements of the Right are cannibalizing mainstream support to the point that the Republican Party will be completely insignificant.

For that, I don't mind enduring the mindless ramblings like Ashoko's. I just hope he doesn't go out and make himself a martyr for the cause.

I disproved his scary propanda about national health systems (in the sense that private healthcare/insurance still exists, so nothing really changes, except for the poor). So, he simply changed his argument. & just a couple of posts underneath my reply, which means he saw it.

Do you know what it's like, to be of the same political opinions as him, to want him to do well & expose the corrupt fuckers of this world, & to sit there gobsmacked at the bullshit he puts out?

It isn't even clever! Any intelligent person can see his deciets coming a mile away. They're so ameteur & hacky. He makes movies for people who don't understand politics.

Its the way the far Right (not the Powell right) deal with those of differing viewpoints. With violence. As for me, I am an elite Liberal and therefore will never have a lack of healthcare. If my wife gets cancer, and I cant afford the treatment, we sell the house. When that runs out, we simply sell my organs (I have 2 of most of them). When that runs out I pray for divine healing. When that doesnt work, well, I guess it's time to utilize assisted suicide...oh, thats right-thats a sin and is against the law in most states.

I should also point out that when you mentioned Canadians coming over the border, do you know that of the biggest drains on the British NHS, Americans are on the list? Yep. Usually pregnant women who cotton on to the fact that it's illegal for a hospital in the U.K to turn them away. They can't pay for healthcare in the U.S, so it's cheaper to fly to the U.K & waltz into a hospital. That's where your private healthcare gets you. Third world countries provide better healthcare for their citizens.

So, you'd rather live in a "greed is good" society, than one in which sick people can get well, as a basic Human right, rather than based on income? That's wrong on so many levels.

That will be the end of the United States of America. The sun has been setting for about 40 years now but ObamaCare will spell the end. Taxes will be raised to pay for the free health care of the fucks who are too lazy to pay for anything themselves even as they continue to eat shit. Companies will then head overseas in droves (and I won't blame them one bit for it). Health care costs too much because through giant insurance corporations, HMO's and Medicare we've removed the actual act of paying money for services rendered from the process. Anyone with half a brain knows this.

Going in, you had to know that F9/11 was much more biased and propaganda ridden. After all, the guy made the Move On.org website his personal blog for his Bush attacks. Just clicking there for the first time in months, I don't see him anywhere. I'm rambling, anyway, Moore is not going to solve anything, he's going to make money.

In the U.K, NHS hospitals are funded from our income tax. The Government takes a percentage of our income tax & uses it for the NHS. After that, there's nothing to pay.

Under our system, if you've worked & paid income tax, even if you aren't working at the time treatment is needed, you've already contributed to your medical treatment.

Imagine the difference that would make to a Cancer patient for example. Someone who can't work, but needs regular treatment. Under the American system, the costs would be horrendous!

IF (& that's a BIG if!), your Government did it the way the U.K does it, you'd pay the same income tax & actually save on insurance etc.

The difference would lie with the Government, who would need to spend more of your taxes on hospitals & less on spy satellites & ingenious prototype death rays.

I'm sure he'll blame some of it on his standard bogeyman--free markets, capitalism, individual liberty, Christians, and so on. But this time, I think I might actually agree with him. At least based on the teaser trailer. Fuck tax payer bail outs of major corporations that are "too big to fail". Sheesh.

That's one of the reasons it is likely to happen. It includes big payouts to the insurance industry, who paid for a lot of the opposition, last time. So ObamaCare might actually cost you more in tax dollars in private insurance that you never see manifested as actual coverage, but . . . the insurance companies will enjoy a payday, at least for a while, so aren't nearly as likely to stand up in opposition. Meh. What happens, happens. Whatever it is, it'll still be better than living in the middle-ages without proper sewage treatment or indoor plumbing or air conditioning.
BringingSexyBack: The End of the Republican Party

Jun 15th, 2009
09:50:42 AM
"Fringe" elements may be canibalizing the Republicans--actually, I think it's more the domination of "moderates" and liberal Republicans who want to offer "Democrat Lite" to voters, but, maybe not. Still, political cycles are tough to avoid. One party rarely holds power over the presidency for more than 8 years, almost never for more than 12. The Democrats held the house for 40 years, but the senate waffled back and forth fairly often. Eventually, Republicans will make electoral gains if for no other reason than they aren't the party in power . . . Although it tends to be, "Meet the new boss, same as the old boss", if you ask me. Slightly better or slightly worse, depending on your point of view, but mostly the same. Still, historical cycles seem to be pretty consistent, over time. They may expand or contract, but there's a good chance of a Republican in the Whitehouse after 8 years of Obama, just based on trends. A good chance of a Republican controlled house and/or senate after 2016 (maybe before, but more likely given historical cycles after the 2016 midterms). And we can blather on about how it's "the end of the Republican party" or "the end of the Democrat party" (a common phrase in 1994 and 1998 and even 2004, not so much anymore) but the electorate seems to cycle the bums overall every 8 to 16 years, at a maximum. Some folks hold on to their congressional and especially senate seats forever--but, on the whole, the party in power changes no matter what. Given how anemic the Republican party is right now, that doesn't exactly excite me, but . . . there it is.

Achieving Modest Projections
by kevinwillis.net
Jun 15th, 2009
11:53:30 AM
Eh, I don't say they are going to achieve it, just that it'll sorta "happen to them", while it'll seem like they did something to make it happen. Not have Reagans or FDRs can't overcome the cycle for a time, but . . . still, history tends to indicate a cycle, not that'll mean much. Although there occasionally seem to be more ideological cycles, too, but political reality seems to blunt them eventually. The 1994 Republican Revolution, for example, didn't really keep the momentum going.

Arguably, the "radical fringe" will end up winning the elections. The Republicans aren't going to make a lot of progress, overall, running as Liberal-lite, any more than Democrats, overall, are going to make a great deal of progress running as Conservative-lite. Dichotomies tend to help win the day--at least, more quickly. The Contract With America was not Democrat-lite, for example. George Bush kinda was (compassionate conservative, open borders, blah, blah, blah), but that gave us the 2000 stalemate, etc. McCain was a perfect example of middle-of-the-road, milquetoast, country-club Republicanism, and he lost handily. And he really was Obama-lite.

I suspect that, the more conservative the Republicans are, and the more they offer a stark contrast to the Democrats, the more rapidly they will push the cycle and win back seats and the presidency and proceed to do almost nothing with them. The more moderate and middle-of-the-road they go, the more rapidly they approach the strategy that got them 40 years of Democrat rule in the house. But . . . what's gonna happen is what is gonna happen.

...though I wish he were more accurate, regarding SICKO, Moore's depiction of British and French healthcare was wildly inaccurate. No, they do NOT offer utterly free treatment and medicine; much of it is part-privatised and the waiting lists are incredibly long, with delayed bills arriving later. It is not fast, friendly and free; it is frenetic, feeble and falling apart. It's so sad (I am devoted to universal healthcare as a concept) but it's true. Moore's representation was rosy to the point of being a complete fabrication.
From a review
by Sepulchrave
Jun 15th, 2009
12:26:44 PM
As it turns out, France can't. In 2004, French Health Minister Philippe Douste-Blazy told a government commission, "Our health system has gone mad. Profound reforms are urgent." Agence France-Presse recently reported that the French health-care system is running a deficit of $2.7 billion. And in the French presidential election in May, voters in surprising numbers rejected the Socialist candidate, Ségolène Royal, who had promised actually to raise some health benefits, and elected instead the center-right politician Nicolas Sarkozy, who, according to Agence France-Presse again, "plans to move fast to overhaul the economy, with the deficit-ridden health care system a primary target." Possibly Sarkozy should first consult with Michael Moore. After all, the tax-stoked French health care system may be expensive, but at least it's "free."

Friedman Suing Fox For Wrongful Termination, Scientology Blamed

New York Daily News say Friedman was fired not because he encouraged people to run out and illegally download one of his employers' own movies(Wolverine), while that same employer at the same time chided other writers for doing the same. Instead they say he was fired as part of some big conspiracy spearheaded by Scientology. No I am not joking.

I'll Be Interested In Seeing How Universal Healthcare
by kevinwillis.net
Jun 15th, 2009
12:45:35 PM
Works out here. I expect politicians in this country will get tarred, feathered, and run out on the rails if healthcare ends up being long waiting lists and disqualifications based on obesity or personal habits. That may be what BSB is thinking about, when he mulls over universal healthcare, but most people are thinking about a magic bullet and will be bitterly disappointed to get UK national healthcare. Not that healthcare in this country is that great, now, but I'm pretty sure the fantasy of many voters will not match the reality of universal healthcare. And, unlike BSB, not all the folks who are so into universal healthcare now are vegan, non-smoking, working out all the time sorts.

Give me the quote in Sicko where Moore says healthcare is free in France. ONE. Here's a hint. There isn't one. Never does Moore say healthcare is free, in fact he points out several times in the film the burden of taxes in France, Canada, Cuba to pay for their healthcare. But those taxes pale in comparison to the medical debt and insurance premiums, deductables, copays that are drowing U.S. citizens.

No cookie for you.

But you're right about limiting the number of smokers, alcoholics and obese people. If only we increased taxes on tobacco, alcohol, and fast food to reduce the use of the causes of these problems. But no, THAT would be evil SOCIALISM. Good thing you didn't get that cookie.

True. I was told it would make me stronger (nope) and that I'd be thinner (nope) and that I'd have more energey (nope). That being said, I wasnt sickly either and got along just fine. The problem is that you have to really plan and cook-and I hate cooking. If your on the road, get hungry, well, your shit otta luck unless you find a supermarket. Somebody needs to come up with a fast food veggie chain. Anyways, though I used to hunt, I gave that up years ago. My old shotgun is just a sentimetal object from my dad. I AM planning on very, very soon stopping eating meat again, this time for good. Why? Because, very simply, I believe all animals are sentient beings and as such I dont want to be part in their slaughter. Should the world go back into the dark ages, however, and I had to hunt again, I could do that, but I just dont believe that in this day and age we need to consume all this meat (which I like). But just because I like it does not mean I should do it. I can go back to Protein powder, veggie burgers and the like. Cheese in small amounts is OK. One last thing: Think that in 50-100 years, we who eat meat will be thought of as barbarians by our great, great grandchildren. The conciousness is evolving, and I think its our destiny to evolve to a point where we dont eat meat.

Silence speaks a thousand words. Obama can't just come out and dispute the results of an election that for all we know was conducted legally and in the spirit of democracy. Iran's main argument against the U.S. is that our government is trying to undermine their democratically elected government by covertly installing a Western, pro U.S. regime against them. What's it going to look like if the U.S. comes out and backs a pro western candidate that for all we know lost the election? It will feed right into the Shah's hands and he will crack down even further on the protesters.

I say fuck these protesters actually. What evidence do they have that the election was rigged? Have they given any? Why would it be? It's a figurehead political position and these assholes are burning down the cities because they lost, while Mousavi has done nothing and pretty much endorsed the behavior. Way to let us know he and his protesters are serious and wouldn't be just as fucking fucked up as Ahmadinejhad.

We are trying to open up a diplomatic dialogue wit hthe country no matter what the outcome is of this election. It's essential to our own security that that happen. So why would Obama take a side. It would be the worst thing he could do.

No, Obama should not dispute the results of the election but he needs to call for the Iranian regime to respect basic human rights as the protests grow (which he may have already done).

But I think you need to read up on what Iran is all about and educate yourself a bit...see Claudia Rossette or Michael Rubin for example. This is an authoritarian, semi fascist theocracy not some budding democracy.

Mousavi is NOT the answer...the people are sending a message which has been repressed for decades.

Reagan cut corporate taxes when he had to deal with a truly horrible economy (courtesy of Obama's noble ancestor, Jimmy Carter), and it worked; the economy rebounded. A strong dose of that remedy would work wonders for the malaise we're suffering now. As for unions making major concessions right now...well, why do you think it was necessary? From Fortune Magazine: " As analyzed by Harbour-Felax, labor costs the Detroit Three substantially more per vehicle than it does the Japanese. Health care is the biggest chunk. GM (Charts), for instance spends $1,635 per vehicle on health care for active and retired workers in the U.S. Toyota (Charts) pays nothing for retired workers - it has very few - and only $215 for active ones. Other labor costs add to the bill. Contract issues like work rules, line relief and holiday pay amount to $630 per vehicle - costs that the Japanese don’t have. And paying UAW members for not working when plants are shut costs another $350 per vehicle." Got it now? There's more info on that subject, but we're costing Harry enough bandwidth as it is. And as for the gov't running the auto business...hell, it's been doing it for years via tree-hugging legislation and other stupid add-ons courtesy of members of Congress. Now we've got the Boy Wonder firing auto company heads and attaching strings as to what kind of cars they can build. Yeah, that'll help people choose American cars over Japanese. As for spending, Obama is now talking about taxing health benefits in order to give people without health benefits health benefits. There's some fucked up logic for you. And people in England and Canada are HAPPY with their health care? What orifice did you pull THAT out of? Here's the facts, courtesy of PBS: "SURPRISING FACTS ABOUT AMERICAN HEALTH CARE Medical care in the United States is derided as miserable compared to health care systems in the rest of the developed world. Economists, government officials, insurers and academics alike are beating the drum for a far larger government role in health care. Much of the public assumes their arguments are sound because the calls for change are so ubiquitous and the topic so complex. However, before turning to government as the solution, some unheralded facts about America's health care system should be considered, says Scott W. Atlas, a senior fellow at the Hoover Institution and a professor at the Stanford University Medical Center. Americans have better survival rates than Europeans for common cancers: * Breast cancer mortality is 52 percent higher in Germany than in the United States, and 88 percent higher in the United Kingdom. * Prostate cancer mortality is 604 percent higher in the United Kingdom and 457 percent higher in Norway. * The mortality rate for colorectal cancer among British men and women is about 40 percent higher. Americans have better access to treatment for chronic diseases than patients in other developed countries: * Some 56 percent of Americans who could benefit are taking statins, which reduce cholesterol and protect against heart disease. * By comparison, of those patients who could benefit from these drugs, only 36 percent of the Dutch, 29 percent of the Swiss, 26 percent of Germans, 23 percent of Britons and 17 percent of Italians receive them. Lower income Americans are in better health than comparable Canadians: * Twice as many American seniors with below-median incomes self-report "excellent" health compared to Canadian seniors (11.7 percent versus 5.8 percent). * Conversely, white Canadian young adults with below-median incomes are 20 percent more likely than lower income Americans to describe their health as "fair or poor." Americans spend less time waiting for care than patients in Canada and the United Kingdom: * Canadian and British patients wait about twice as long -- sometimes more than a year -- to see a specialist, to have elective surgery like hip replacements or to get radiation treatment for cancer. * All told, 827,429 people are waiting for some type of procedure in Canada. * In England, nearly 1.8 million people are waiting for a hospital admission or outpatient treatment. Source: Scott W. Atlas, "10 Surprising Facts About American Health Care," National Center for Policy Analysis, Brief Analysis No. 649, March 24, 2009." There you go. Nothing like a good dose of FACTS to clean the mental colon. Best wishes for a speedy recovery.

"A strong dose of that remedy would work wonders for the malaise we're suffering now."

How would it work wonders?

What size tax cuts do you believe will result in such wonders?

What range of wonders can we expect? Describe please?

Will tax cuts solve the problem of declining sales? If yes, please elaborate.

For BSB, enjoy

“President Ahmadinejad would like nothing better than to see a very aggressive series of statements by the United States that would try to put the U.S. in the center of this. And I think President Obama is avoiding that quite rightly.”

“This is not a dispute for the U.S. to be the center of,” Burns said at another point. “It’s up to Iranians to decide who Iran’s future leaders will be. He said he respects Iran’s sovereignty. I think it was important to do that.” - Nicholas Burns, former ambassador to Iran during George W. Bush.

"When your adversary is making a fool of himself, get out of the way. That is a rule of politics Lyndon Johnson once put into the most pungent of terms. U.S. fulminations will change nothing in Tehran. But they would enable the regime to divert attention to U.S. meddling in Iran’s affairs and portray the candidate robbed in this election, Mir-Hossein Mousavi, as a poodle of the Americans...

The dilemma for America is that the theocracy defines itself and grounds its claim to leadership through its unyielding resistance to the Great Satan—the United States—and to Israel. Nevertheless, Obama, with his outstretched hand, his message to Iran on its national day, his admission that the United States had a hand in the 1953 coup in Tehran, his assurances that we recognize Iran’s right to nuclear power, succeeded. He stripped the Ayatollah and Ahmadinejad of their clinching argument—that America is out to destroy Iran and they are indispensable to Iran’s defense," - Patrick Buchanan.

From what'm getting from reading this posts her,e it seems american movie geeks feel that for one to be a movie geek, one also needs to be a rabid right-winger appologist to the very people who fucked up THE WORLD ECONOMY, and at thw same time bashing soembody who feels pretty upset about the sad state of affairs and makes a movie out of it? And that he dares to have a personal opinion? Am I getting this wrong or something? Was there a memo i never got?

No-your right on. As for the far right, what you are witnessing is the death of a political party. Soon it will only be a lunatic fringe movement dominated by angry rich white men and their followers-mostly poor, uneducated, white supremist types. They're angry a Black Man hold the highest office in the land; Theyre angry that the scientific community is convincing the world that Global Warming is real; They're angry that latinos will soon replace whites as the majority; they're angry that they cannot wage war/torture with impunity; They're ultra-paranoid that somebody is going to take their guns, so they stockpile weapons in the hope that someday things will crumble so that they can murder at whim all those they think are messing up our country; Theyre angry at public Schools for teaching science and evolution, as they believe it contradicts a book written by space gods thousands of years ago. They have one idea: Tax Cuts for the richest 1% of the population. Thats it. But even is Obama bumped his head in the night and woke up convinced we need this tax cut, they would still secretly despise, distrust and hate him-just like they really do Michael Steele. Anyone who thinks the far right has got their backs is a fool-esspecially if your a minority. God Help Us All should these thugs ever gain ultimate power.

I know you said "far right", but I just want to make sure that we point out the difference between someone who is conservative and has a legitimate alternative view point/position versus those who are on the fringe of the right wing and absolutely nuts or partisan assholes (Chuck Hagel vs. Rick Santorum or Tom Delay).

Unfortunately, that fringe has a great sway over the Republican party. Yes there are far left loonies as well but I will say that the difference between the Democratic Party and the Republican Party right now is that you don't see Michael Moore as the key speaker like you do Rush Limbaugh or Sean Hannity.

Personally I long for the day when the current Republican party finally implodes, and can either kick out all of the nuts or else a new party (perhaps a libertarian party as long as the exclude the "privatize the sidewalks" crowd) can be formed so we can have a sensible debate about the direction of the country and wether are economy should be based on a Keynesian or a Friedman model instead of wondering where the President's birth certificate is or accusing him of being a Muslim/socialist/Communist/rac ist/fascist (I don't even know how that works because they pretty much negate each other).

I do mean Far-Right. The majority of sensible conservatives-Buckley, Powel, etc. need to stand up now and assume control of the party. It may divide them and cost elections in the SHORT run, but in the long run it will prevail. We need true conservatives to balance the scales in our country. Hell, I could see myself even supporting a true conservative when needed. But the current foaming at the mouth rascist, war mongering, corporate bitch theocrate lapdog who represents the party now is destroying the very thing they are trying to save. Remeber: Lincolin was a Republican-Pro-Union, anti-slavery. Today a guy like him wouldnt stand a chance in the GOP. Eisenhower also-raised taxes on the wealthy-he was a Republican, and he was anti-war unless we had to do it. Hope that you true conservatives can re-claim your birthright. Good Luck!

Sicko, again:

At the beginning Moore shows a league table for healthcare and points out that the USA is below Slovakia. What he forgets is that it is also one place above Cuba.

Later in the film, he deliberately portrays Cuban healthcare as far superior to American.

This is factually inaccurate- by his own table.

I can't wait to see...

What Mike digs up this time. A true American patriot. BTW, when Obama adressed the ongoing junk food problem in this country, you think he specifically was referring to one Bill Maher's dildo? But no, seriously Moore,just take the Farhenheit money and move to France or something.
BTW, Uberman...

Way to stereotype an entire political party. It's one thing to personally represent or prefer a party. It's quite another to spew out the garbage you typed onto this fucking site. So, I guess according to you, the majority of my family (far right) is just an ammunation, god-fearing, klan member? Yeah, you seem to represent whats going wrong with this fucking country. I suppose now I'll bid you adue with Enjoy the lattey and the tofu! Open up that mind just alittle further, okay fellow American? (btw, I voted for Obama).
