That's good, I don't either.
I hate liars like Moore.

How anyone can see anything good out of his attempts to discrace or
president and our troops is beyond me.
When the President performs disgraceful acts, such as ordering the U.S.
military to perform torture on prisoners, or ordering U.S. citizens
imprisoned with no probable cause and no recourse, or announcing that he
will shop the Social Security Trust Fund to the highest Wall Street
bidder, then what should a reasonable citizen say about him?

"To announce that there must be no criticism of the President, or that we are
to stand by the President, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and
servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public. Nothing but the
truth should be spoken about him or any one else. But it is even more
important to tell the truth, pleasant or unpleasant, about him than about
any one else."

A Republican president. If the truth about Bush and his policies is
disgraceful, where does the fault lie? And perhaps you can enlighten us as
to the exact nature of Moore's attempts to disgrace our troops? Please
provide links.
I don't particularly like Michael Moore either, and I think that his
obvious bias undermines his credibility. His personality also undermines
the effectiveness & reach of his message. But people like Joe, who get
their political opinions from the KKK & Jerry Falwell, would consider
any statement contrary to their views as "unpatriotic" or even
"treasonous" no matter how obviously true it is.
I can understand and to a large extent agree with the sentiment, "Love
America right or wrong" but I cannot agree with the mutation of this
into "Love Bush & Cheney no matter what they do."
