I do more things than just argue on the internets, thank you very much. As to the question, yes, I'm damned proud of my country, and all the good that it's done and continues to do, but that doesn't mean I ignore the bad sides of it's history. Patriotism doesn't have to be blind patriotism. |

I am quite proud of my country, and very fortunate to be in the country that I live in. And about Michael Moore and Cindy Sheehan, well, I respect they're rights to say what they want to say, but I completely disagree with everything that they say or do. I'm not too fimilar on Cindy Sheehan's full story, but I know she's anti-war and a Bush-hater because her son died in war, correct? To her, I don't understand why she protests against the war just because she lost her son, because her son willingly went into the military to fight for our country. She should respect that her son died for ultimately her protection. All in all, I don't think that her son dying in the war is a good enough reason to become "Anti-Bush" and try to stop the war just because her son died. More soldiers have died as well, and what about the Iraqi civilians that wanted no part in this war in the beginning? I don't see anyone sticking up for them. They're more labeled as victims WAY more than we are. And about Michael Moore, ugh, he needs to be sent to Smack-'em-uptown. He makes good movies though. |

I agree with you on Sheehan. I've been following her story since last August. At first she seemed like the new face of the anti-war movement but now she's become so desperate for attention it's pretty sad. Moore...well I'd like to kick him in his Mas y Menos. When you say he makes good films, you mean he makes them interesting and catchy. Not in a way that makes you believe every word he says. If that's what ur saying I agree. F 9/11 was a good propaganda film but unless you really check your facts and don't question what you see, it's the truth |

That's exactly what his films are to me. And I wouldn't question the truth, it's there I know.
Of course. But you seemed to be pointing out all the negative things in your last few posts that it seemed like you didn't care much for this country. Just glad to clear that up. |

One thing I'd like to clear up to confirm whether or not I'm an idiot. Did you say Michael Moore's films are the truth? |

I'm with Mike on alot of things. He's not a blind leftist--he criticizes the Democrats for their status as "doormat of America." He's certainly not a moron. He's not an ass, like certain high-class conservatives (cough, O'Reilly, cough, Ann Coulter). Call me whatever you want--a dirty liberal, a flip-flopping democrat, a pinko commie, whatever (I call myself an independant)--I believe Mike, simply because conservative America has failed so utterly at being truthful. |

I respect your beliefs, Davis. But since they don't agree with mine, I've decided not to let you win this round of The Caption Thread. Better luck next time, Commie!!!!! I'm just kidding. Honestly, I could sit you down and point out so many inaccuracies and all out lies in Fahrenheit 9/11. Michael is right when he talks about Democrats but it makes me puzzled as to why he supports them, endorses them and then says that there is no way they can lose? (Kerry) You're right about Coulter, I find her to be really extreme at times but I like O'Reilly because he's a good man and he's doing a good job with this nut Judge in Ohio-I think. |

Except when he's a hypocrite, when he lies about his past deeds on the show, when he lies about lying, when he bullies people for having opinions that differ from his own, and then there's the fact that he's a closed-minded jerk who thinks that his father earining $35,000 a year makes him "blue-collar," (check the rates of inflation--see how much 35 grand was worth in the 70s). Just off the top of my head. But we've been going off topic, so...back to the war, I guess. |

Ah...I'll not book that lecture hall then. Right now on DrudgeReport the top story has a picture of Bush above the caption, "We Will Defend Israel". Opinions? |

I just want to say one thing. It's odd how if a country has atomic/nuclear bombs, the US goes nuts and tried to take them away even though the US is the only country that has ever dropped a bomb on another.
How about, "we will stop the war?" I like that better. |

I think I misunderstood what you said before. I think I read it too fast and had typoed. No, I don't think that Moore's films are truthful. Just to clear that up. I believe what I meant to say is that Moore stretches the truth in his movies. EDIT: Oh, and here's a recent article that was released on CNN today about the recent events in Iraq.
Any interesting thoughts on this article? Opinions? This seems to be nice to hear since we've heard nothing but violence and bombers.
I rest my case with Cindy Sheehan |

Rescued by the very people they called occupiers. I'm not sure if anyone in here watches Bill O'Reilly but I caught his talking points memo yesterday and it showed GWB almost tearing this White House Reporter a new one. Bush really did a good job of taking her down. She kept trying to interrupt him and asked dumb questions like, "What was your REAL reason for going to war." I can't find a transcript and the video is gone but it was a great thing to see. |

I did see that, but it was on the news. At least he took authority, and answered honestly (I hope). If Bush does fulfil the promises he made in that press confrence, then I'm happy. |
