Audacity of Truth
Spinsational:
"We were so busy just getting stuff done and dealing with the immediate crises that were in front of us that I think we lost some of that sense of speaking directly to the American people about what their core values are and why we have to make sure those institutions are matching up with those values."

Michael Moore hates capitalism all the way to the bank
Reuters reports on Michael Moore’s new crockumentary and, as usual, it’s an anti-America fest:
VENICE (Reuters) – Capitalism is evil. That is the conclusion U.S. documentary maker Michael Moore comes to in his latest movie “Capitalism: A Love Story,” which premieres at the Venice film festival Sunday.
Blending his trademark humor with tragic individual stories, archive footage and publicity stunts, the 55-year-old launches an all out attack on the capitalist system, arguing that it benefits the rich and condemns millions to poverty.
“Capitalism is an evil, and you cannot regulate evil,” the two-hour movie concludes.
“You have to eliminate it and replace it with something that is good for all people and that something is democracy.”
The bad guys in Moore’s mind are big banks and hedge funds which “gambled” investors’ money in complex derivatives that few, if any, really understood and which belonged in the casino.
Meanwhile, large companies have been prepared to lay off thousands of staff despite boasting record profits.
My question is: What will this idiot do with all the money he makes from this “documentary”? If he takes one dime in profits then he’s a damn hypocrite. To find out just how much Moore “hates” capitalism, read Jim Hoft’s post which describes the worth of Moore’s residence in Northern Michigan.
Just like the “greenies” like Al Gore and John Edwards, who demand of others a “green” lifestyle they themselves do not observe, just like the hypocrites in the Obama administration who demand purity from Republicans on the lobbyist issue but who don’t hold themselves to the same standard, Moore’s motto is “What’s good for me, is not necessarily good for thee.”
And the beat goes on.

The problem is that he is, at elast in part, going after the wall street people whose greed drove some of the problems we have now. Be interesting to see if he also goes after the bailouts for the right reasons.
This movie, and it galls me to admit this, he actually may have chosen a worthy target.
I do want to know, however, how he reaches the conclusion that the answer to evil capitalism is democracy.
Let’s see now. Seems to me “Big Banks” and hedge funds were a direct result of socialist engineering via government regulation and threats a la B. Frank and others “so concerned about the little guy”.
Yep. Michael Moore picked the right industry, but unfortunately picked the wrong targets of the abusive practices of social engineering gone worse than usual.
LSU: I’m guessing that in his mind “democracy” is mob rule where the majority keeps voting for things for themselves at the expense of all the evil rich people… almost like it is now.
That should read “Crockumentry maker” idiots. I have seen the commercials for this movie on TV today, and they are so full of s**t that it makes me want to vommit.
I think it is funny that he is at AIG’s HQ asking for money. That company was run great until a f**kin’ Dem started running it. – Lorica
We have actual communists parading around as Democrats today. JFK would spit on all of them.
I wonder if there is a re-make of Animal Farm in the works…perhaps we can have it done like the movie Babe…all the cuteness and the great irony of George Orwell.
But, really, doesn’t Moore have a few good examples of so called non-capitalist countries that he can use as examples in his movie..a little history of that worker’s paradise Cuba, of course, and then former USSR and it’s stranglehold on Eastern Europe??? Totally failed systems due to lack of incentive for workers causes low productivity and poor quality products.
The problem is the people who buy tickets to go see this lard ass’ movies. So many fools. Sooner or later they’re going to feel the pain that Obama and his friends are inflicting on this nation. Most of us saw it coming … but so few wanted to believe it.
Moore’s next “documentary” will be a composite of clips showing toothless younger people guffawing like Goofy and saying something along the lines of, “We don’t need no n…r to tell us what to do”, and paint it as though that’s the typical voter anywhere to the right of Chucky Cheesy Schumer.
And the MSM will fall all over themselves praising it for “its brutal honesty” and “timely message” for all voters to remember come election day.
In the meantime, race-baiters and haters like Jackson, Sharpton, Van Jones, Wright and Obama will get free passes because their hearts are in the right place.
What the country needs isn’t “democracy” which is mob rule, what it needs is to be what it’s supposed to be, i.e. a “republic” where the rule of law applies to and is enforced for all, and the government doesn’t play silly and dangerous social engineering experiments by suborning the Constitutional limits on government powers.
But, despite Capitalism being “evil” I don’t see Moore giving up his money or his use of it to hawk his movies for a profit.
You really have no freedom if you are not allowed to own and accumulate property, to create wealth, and to dispose of that wealth as you see fit. Personal freedom begins with economic freedom.
And that’s the basis for capitalism. Somebody ought to drop a copy of The Wealth of Nations on Moore from a great height. Like, maybe, from orbit.
Good point Steve, that’s why health care is not and never will be a true “Right.” You do not have a right to steal from other people, whether you do it yourself with a gun or you have government do it with their guns and threats. Nothing is a Right if someone else has to pay for it, particularly against their will.
I want to know how Moore, such a pathetic character, gets away with calling his agenda-driven films “documentaries?” They are nothing but lies and distortions. Our colleges/universities are no longer an open exchange of ideas; they have become serious indoctrination venues for socialism and anti-Americanism. The idea that we would elect a president who is anti-American, Marxist, and a practicing Muslim [now that he is in office--just celebrated Ramadan at Camp David] after 9/11 is absurd –and yes, JFK would spit on them!
Moore is supported up the wazoo by the media giants that support him, his Hollywood lefty buddies who rake in profits from the global sales of movies, even Moore’s buffoonery serves a purpose to them. Soros and the global left elitist support this junk…it makes the masses even less educated. Misinformation, disinformation they are into that through the spectrum of entertainment.
Left-wing zealots Michael Moore and Bill Maher should be stranded together on a desert island and see who lives and who dies. A new reality show: “Left-Winger Island.”
My initial money is on Moore since he has significantly more body fat, but Maher might be able to outlive Moore simply by relying on drawing from the nourishment offered by his storehouse of left-wing extremist raging hate… lots of vitamin-goodness in that satanic vitriol. Neither, though, will survive… they’d be too busy whining and bitching at each other and waiting for their government entitlement checks to arrive that they wouldn’t have the sense to gather firewood, forage for food, or come out of the rain. The island rats would feast on their statist corpses once all the hot air was released…
I would love to watch “Left-Winger Island”! I could finally find something to laugh about in this past couple of years with regard to Washington.
