We're just a bunch of killers

Always have been, always will be according to far Left filmmaker Michael Moore.

About those fat-cat Hollywood hypocrites

Adam Carolla sez:

“They all pretend like they’re part of the 99 percent, but they’re not; they’re part of the 1 percent,” he said of Hollywood’s liberal elites. “They’re all incorporated, they all have tax attorneys, believe me. . .”

He pointed to liberal documentary filmmaker Michael Moore as the classic example of a Hollywood phony.

“Michael Moore makes $30 million a year, $40 million a year, but he’s part of the 99 percenters? Now he has to keep up that façade,” Carolla said.

“So he has to show up wearing the ball cap and the t-shirt, because if he ever shows up with a top hat and a monocle, he’s going to be tossed out of his club. … They all do the same thing.”

Michael Moore's John Reed Moment

By Gary Starr for the Neville Awards
March 7, 2010

Earth's second extra-terrestrial satellite, or a small planet with two legs if you will, fancies himself a latter day John Reed (the real-life Communist loser in the Warren Beatty movie 'Reds'). He has recently starred in his own version of "10 Days That Shook the World" by journeying to Madison, Wisconsin to declare that America and Wisconsin are not broke, and all of America "stands with you." He was also gassing around about the workers having "had enough." Of what we are not sure.

Maybe they want to get paid not to show up for work like their elected Democrat state senators. Oh wait, that's already happening....they are all down at the statehouse with silly pre-printed union signs and making a huge mess.

Thrill to the latest rantings of our national treasure and erstwhile post-modern Lili Riefenstahl:

Glenn Beck's first documentary...may Michael Moore finally rest in peace

On January 22, 2010: Glenn Beck ran through the atrocities of Adolf Hitler, Joseph Stalin, Mao Zedong, and Ernesto 'Che' Guevara — "the true unseen history of Marxism, progressivism and communism" as Beck described it — with some implied lessons for today. [It is his first documentary.]

According to Lee Edwards, a fellow at the Heritage Foundation and chairman of the Victims of Communism Memorial Foundation:

• "solid research" and willingness to take on "still-prevailing myths about Che Guevara and Mao."
• "one of the best documentaries [he's] seen on communism..."
• "I think this suggests the line on Beck that he is some kind of wild man is just not true," Edwards said. "This guy is thoughtful and interested in history. How many journalists in cable, print or whatever have this kind of interest in giving you a historical context. I think he should be commended for that."

History According to Glenn Beck

The sheer absurdity of 20th century American liberals rewriting all of human history in keeping with their one idee fixe, class struggle, is a demonstration of the lasting influence of Marxist dogma on leading figures on the American left such as Howard Zinn, Michael Moore and Oliver Stone

The real secret history of America, the one that Oliver Stone would never film and Howard Zinn would never write about, is that the American left would never have had a fraction of the success that they did in the 20th century without corporate backing...And that indeed is the paradox of the left, that its attacks on the free market are so appealing precisely to those who don't work for a living, both on the corporate and the intellectual side.

Is John Mackey really evil?

I just happened to see this link on Drudge: "Capitalism Is Evil," says new Michael Moore film and it got me started thinking about the CEO and founder of Whole Foods Market John Mackey.

I love Whole Foods and have shopped there for many years. In fact, when I used to work at Universal Studios (I was there for a total of 16 years) I had once thought of moving to an apartment in Sherman Oaks within walking distance of the market (this was sometime around 1982-1986). Since my husband was recently put on a gluten-free diet, we shop there even more!

Anyway, I discovered that Mr. Mackey has been a fan of Ayn Rand as I was, In fact, I read "Atlas Shrugged" four times in the 1960's. And, I used to be a libertarian as he once was (I even ran for California State Senate as a Libertarian in 1998).

Now, if you read the following interview from several years ago, you will see a very thoughtful man who does not limit himself the way Michael Moore does. Instead of wasting his time and money on angry, hateful, finger-pointing and non-productive endeavors, Mr. Mackey provides a wonderful, healthful resource for people (especially those with special diet and health needs) and treats his customers and employees and business partners with dignity and respect. OMG! Doesn't that violate the whole radical left thing? You know, the one that needs to change the WHOLE system because this country is so rotten?

Interview with Whole Foods’ John Mackey

April 2, 2006
We’ve mentioned before that Whole Foods CEO John Mackey is a fan of Ayn Rand’s novels. Today I stumbled across an interview with Mackey (actually, because the interviewer had linked to our blog) from last year.

In the interview, Mackey discusses his enjoyment of Ayn Rand’s writings, his experiences with libertarians, and why he no longer considers himself a libertarian, per se.

And don't forget Mr. Mackey's creative contribution to the healthcare debate (you know, the ideas that made those "tolerant" leftists start a boycott against the market) The Whole Foods Alternative to ObamaCare

In a sane world, Mr. Mackey would be considered a shining example of what Capitalism offers to a free and productive society. But in the hate-filled world of the radical left (who have infected the Democratic Party) he is the enemy.

God help us all.

Bush, Hillary, Michael Moore said to greatly exaggerate stats on health care

© 2007 WorldNetDaily.com

President Bush, Hillary Clinton, Michael Moore and much of the mainstream media are incorrect when they claim the number of Americans without health insurance to be 40 to 50 million, with the actual number possibly under 10 million.

So says the Business and Media Institute, a Virginia-based division of the Media Research Center, a nonprofit watchdog organization designed to bring balance and responsibility to the media.

"The actual total is open to debate," says BMI analyst Julia Seymour. "But there are millions of people who should be excluded from that [high] tally, including: those who aren't American citizens, people who can afford their own insurance, and people who already qualify for government coverage but haven't signed up."

She notes government statistics also show 45 percent of people without insurance are not completely in dire straits, as they'll have coverage again within four months after switching jobs.

"Accounting for all those factors, one prominent study places the total for the long-term uninsured as low as 8.2 million – a very different reality than the media and national health care advocates claim," said Seymour.

The BMI report notes the number of the uninsured who are not U.S. citizens is nearly 10 million on its own, invalidating all the claims of 40-plus million "Americans" without health insurance.

In a May 31 speech, Sen. Hillary Clinton, D-N.Y., said: "It's really indefensible that we now have more than 45 million uninsured Americans, 9 million of whom are children, and the vast majority of whom are from working families."

ABC News medical expert Dr. Tim Johnson cited the incorrect data as he praised a "bold" and "politically brilliant" universal health-coverage plan on the April 26 edition of "Good Morning America."

"It's bold because it does propose to cover all Americans, including the 47 million now who are uninsured, within five years," said Johnson.

Seymour also labeled Michael Moore's new film "SiCKO" as a "propagandumentary" and pointed out the director's website claims a very high number of uninsured: "There are nearly 50 million Americans without health insurance."

She says subtracting non-citizens and those who can afford their own insurance but choose not to purchase it, about 20 million people are left – less than 7 percent of the population.

"Many Americans are uninsured by choice," wrote Dr. David Gratzer in his book, "The Cure: How Capitalism Can Save American Health Care." Gratzer cited a study of the "nonpoor uninsured" from the California Healthcare Foundation.

"Why the lack of insurance [among people who own homes and computers]? One clue is that 60 percent reported being in excellent health or very good health," explained Gratzer.

"Proponents of universal health care often use the 46-million figure – without context or qualification. It creates the false impression that a huge percentage of the population has fallen through the cracks," Gratzer told BMI. "Again, that's not to suggest that there is no problem, but it's very different than the universal-care crowd describes."

The Kaiser Family Foundation, a nonprofit group often quoted in news reports, puts the number of uninsured Americans who do not qualify for current government programs and make less than $50,000 a year between 8.2 million and 13.9 million, far less than the mantra of 40 to 50 million.

....[M]edia outlets incorrectly claimed the number of uninsured to be 40 to 50 million Americans. The actual total is open to debate. But there are millions of people who should be excluded from that tally, including: those who aren't American citizens, people who can afford their own insurance, and people who already qualify for government coverage but haven't signed up.

Government statistics also show 45 percent of those without insurance will have insurance again within four months after job transitions.

Accounting for all those factors, one prominent study places the total for the long-term uninsured as low as 8.2 million -- a very different reality than the media and national health care advocates claim.

The number of the uninsured who aren't citizens is nearly 10 million on its own, invalidating all the claims of 40+ million "Americans" without health insurance....

However, the Census Bureau report "Income, Poverty, and Health Insurance Coverage in the United States: 2005," puts the initial number of uninsured people living in the country at 46.577 million.

A closer look at that report reveals the Census data include 9.487 million people who are "not a citizen." Subtracting the 10 million non-Americans, the number of uninsured Americans falls to roughly 37 million....

Many of the same people pushing the incorrect numbers of uninsured Americans also claim that these people cannot "afford" insurance....

Katie Couric echoed those sentiment on the CBS "Evening News" May 23.

"The number of Americans with no health insurance is continuing to grow as more and more employers say they can't afford to offer group insurance…People who try to buy insurance on their own often find the price beyond their reach," said Couric as she introduced a two-part "investigation of the health insurance industry."

But according to the same Census report, there are 8.3 million uninsured people who make between $50,000 and $74,999 per year and 8.74 million who make more than $75,000 a year. That's roughly 17 million people who ought to be able to "afford" health insurance because they make substantially more than the median household income of $46,326....

Subtracting non-citizens and those who can afford their own insurance but choose not to purchase it, about 20 million people are left -- less than 7 percent of the population.

"Many Americans are uninsured by choice," wrote Dr. David Gratzer in his book "The Cure: How Capitalism Can Save American Health Care." Gratzer cited a study of the "nonpoor uninsured" from the California Healthcare Foundation.

"Why the lack of insurance [among people who own homes and computers]? One clue is that 60 percent reported being in excellent health or very good health," explained Gratzer.... So what is the true extent of the uninsured "crisis?" The Kaiser Family Foundation, a liberal non-profit frequently quoted by the media, puts the number of uninsured Americans who do not qualify for current government programs and make less than $50,000 a year between 13.9 million and 8.2 million. That is a much smaller figure than the media report.

Kaiser's 8.2 million figure for the chronically uninsured only includes those uninsured for two years or more. It is also worth noting, that, 45 percent of uninsured people will be uninsured for less than four months according to the Congressional Budget Office.

5 Good Reasons to Vote Today ... a letter from Michael Moore
Date: Tue, 7 Nov 2006 02:51:28 -0800

IT'S A NATIONAL REFERENDUM. Although candidates' names will be on the ballot today, this election is NOT about this candidate or that candidate. Make no mistake about it: This election is nothing less than a National Referendum on George W. Bush and his War. Don't waste your time trying to learn about who the schlump is that's running for office. You know they're all pretty much the same, a few are better than others, but... please. They is who they is. THIS election is not about them. It's a simple up or down vote on staying the course.

Who lied?

Michael Moore just sent this out today:

The Race Between the Right Wing and the Right Thing ...a message from Michael Moore

Date: Mon, 6 Nov 2006 09:26:30 -0800

Friends,
Tomorrow night, those who sent 2,800 of our soldiers to their deaths -- all because of a lie the president concocted -- will find out if America chooses to reward them -- or remove them.

But Moore is either uninformed or he, himself, is lying to everyone: Find out the TRUTH! at the "Truth or Fiction" website--if you care!

PS: Think he's trying to influence the elections???

But do not be deceived yourself - here is the National Security record of the Democrats: "Just Why Democrats Are 'Dangerous' When It Comes To America's Defense" From INVESTOR'S BUSINESS DAILY (Posted 10/20/2006)

3. On tapping foreign terrorists' phone calls to the U.S. — Democrats voted against it.

4. On tracing terrorists' money flow between foreign banks — Democrats voted against it.

5. On building a border wall to control illegal immigration and stop dope — dealers, terrorists and criminals — Democrats voted against it.

6. On interrogating captured terrorists — 194 Democrats just voted against it.

7. On telling the world (and our enemy) about a timetable for withdrawing from and deserting Iraq — this is Democrats' retreat and defeat plan.

Think that's bad? Here's the Democrats' national defense record for the last 40 years:
