Mooreâs "Hate-riotism"
Hat tip: LGF. EFL.He was lauded with a twenty-minute standing ovation at the Cannes Film Festival. A.O. Scott of the New York Times calls his movie a "passionate expression of outraged patriotism." At the June showing of Fahrenheit 911 before the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Science in Los Angeles, he received a standing ovation of over a minute. And Michael Mooreâs most recent work spits in the face of my dead countrymen. He doesnât care, Doctor. As yet another innocent person has their head severed by Islamic "extremists," Moore apparently glosses over the fact that democracy in general and America specifically is under attack... See above. Now imported to our shores, hatriotism is the simplest way to get the growing contingent of professional protestors who populate television audiences to cheer. Mock America. Mock our involvement in Iraq. Mock President BushâŠand get rousing applause. The only problem isâŠAmerica has freed my kinsmen... But Iâm sure if you ask very nicely, Mikey can forgive America for that. The irony is, for all of their false bravado behind the First Amendment and their right to "free speech," the hatriots are exercising this right because American men and women shed their blood to afford them this right against those who would seek to oppress it. I would invite Michael Moore to my homeland to make a movie criticizing Turkish oppression and see what happens... Iâd pay good money to see that! Further, Islamic prophecy foretells of worldwide conversion to Sharia law under Islam, and thus, those who are fighting against us are "holy warriors." In this instance, I would say our president is half-right. He says we are not at war with Islam. They keep this shit up, we will be. I agree. However, a significant portion of Islam is in fact at war with us. And Michael Moore is blind to it all... At the risk of sounding like a broken record, Doctor, he doesnât care. Our soldiers â your sons and daughters â are fighting to preserve Michael Mooreâs freedom to produce such works that mock their very existence. I hope he realizes that. No, Doctor - heâs far too stupid and self-absorbed. They are allowing my countrymen the right to freely express themselves without being stoned to death as a consequence. Or have their heads severed slowly while their executioners are chanting "Allah hu Akbar." As long as itâs not his head, Mikey doesnât care. (Do I detect a pattern here?) Read the whole thing at the link - and donât miss the great cartoon. Posted by: Barbara Skolaut 2004-06-27 |
