Michael Moore is that fat kid from elementary school that everyone hated because he used to pick his nose, and he was too fat for kickball, even in the thrid grade.
Now he is just trying to get revenge on us all.  |
Moore's problem isn't necessarily his fat body, but his fat head...and his thick skull...

This is the left's newest tactic. Villifying the conservative voters. My sister that lives in Warren County, Ohio was interviewed by the Washington Post because she organized a Pray the Vote Rally in her church. The reporter wanted to know if they were told who to vote for, they weren't of course, but I am sure you can see where all of this is going. The reporter said they were amazed at the number of Christians that got out and voted and he wanted to know what motivated them. Here is a letter I sent them. They still will never understand.
| Quote: | They Just Don’t Get It
The 2004 Presidential campaign and election are now a memory, but political analysts and pundits from both sides are still trying to figure out what happened. They are discussing who voted which way and why they voted this way. They all seem to have come to the conclusion that moral issues and values played a huge part in this election, and they are right about that. What they don’t seem to understand (especially those left of center) is why Christians voted in the numbers we did and why we chose the leaders we did.
The Democrats want to pinpoint the hot button issue that drove us to vote in historical numbers. They try to say it was because of the Defense of Marriage Propositions that were on the ballots in several swing states. Yes, that was part of it. They look at President Bush’s faith and say in complete puzzlement, “We have a strong core of faith in our party,” as though his profession of faith and willingness to talk about it was the reason for gaining our vote. I agree this played a part too. I would however argue that those issues and how the left, in particular, deals with them are merely signs to many Christians that the Democratic Party does not understand us, our beliefs, and why we hold those beliefs. Not only do we sense a lack of understanding in the Democratic Party, but we also sense an underlying contempt for something we hold very dear; our faith. This underlying contempt is not only felt to be from the Democrats, but from the Mainstream Media and Hollywood; two entities by the way that embrace the Democrats and propagate the liberal agenda while at best ignoring conservative or traditional agendas and at worst maligning or ridiculing them.
Christians have sat back silently while our faith and our values have been labeled as extremist by some and “hate speech” or offensive by more outspoken partisans. My husband and I engaged in a philosophical discussion right before the election on why we were voting Republican. My husband is what one thinks of when one thinks of the typical demographic of a Republican. He is a college educated male between 30-40 years old, protestant Christian, married father of three; he is in a management position with a large company and he is the sole breadwinner in the family. When he speaks of issues it is with the responsibility of providing for his family weighing uppermost in his mind. So, the Republicans fiscal platforms appeal to him, as well as their stand on protecting the nation. When I said that I was voting Republican this year because of faith and moral issues his response was a surprised, “You can’t be serious, I mean both sides have people with morals and people without them.” I agreed because this is true. The Republicans do not have the corner on the moral market. They are human and humans have flaws, but they are willing to allow God and faith to be a part of the discussion. The Democrats on the other hand are willing to embrace those who would have God escorted out of the discussion and the nation without a second thought. The Democrats are willing to embrace those that would claim that “Separation of Church and State” really means “Absence of God” in our society and as a Christian I felt that this would be a move in such a wrong direction that we may never recover from it.
There are those on the left that try to say that Evangelical Christians want to force their faith on everyone else. Nothing could be further from the truth. Christian evangelism does not work by force, it works by persuasion. People who are forced into a belief are not really believers and we would never want it that way. Christ would not want it that way because He wants people to seek Him willingly. No, Christians do not want to force their beliefs on to others, but neither do we want our beliefs forced from us, and this is something we felt could happen given the current rhetoric from many on the left. So, if you don’t mind a former elementary school teacher and current stay-at-home mom playing political analyst, I will take a shot at naming that hot button political issue that prompted many Christians to brave bad weather and long lines to vote; it is called Freedom of Religion and the people who founded this country thought it was pretty important too.

Do you have a link to where this is on Moore-on's site?
Moore-on.org's also quoting some guy in there that quotes some Dem rep from FL claiming that the electronic scanning machines have recorded R votes in error in the smaller counties (claiming this was done fraudulently - the "biggest election fraud in the history of the world")...it's clear to me that the "problems" they're talking about could easily happen if the Rs got more people out (read church people, etc.) That could have skewed the vote totals (legitimately) toward Bush...even if there were more Ds than Rs in that county...

I don't know but I always thought my instrument was made for something besides urinating. What would be the point otherwise? Or prehaps it's just his way of telling us that he is one on those "SQUAT TO PEEs". You know, the kind that Arab Sultans used to use to guard their harems. I believe that the proper dictionary term is "EUNUCH" That's probably the real cause of his angst

military lovin - Check, Retired - 22 years - 1963-1985
sister marryin - No thanks, she threatened to forge my name on a Marine enlistment contract to get rid of me, so I joined the Navy knowing she was serious.
abortion hatin - No. In fact, I believe in retroactive abortions for criminals and terrorists.
gay loathin - No, have very good friends who are gay. By the way, they voted for Bush.
foreigner despisin - No, only the ones that want to kill me.
non passport ownin - No, my wife and I have valid passports.

What a maroon! America has all the guns and bombs. It's what we do. You don't like it, move to France.
I'm married to a foreigner, and English is my kid's SECOND language. I could care less who has an abortion (but the more liberals who do the better). Does that mean my vote for Bush should be disqualified?
