- Go to Fahrenheit 911 idiocy
Come to think of it, these folks who call me a demagogue and a blowhard have put me in the same league as Limbaugh, Hannity and the other real luminaries of the conservative movement. Thanks!!

Isn't it interesting? I use my right of free speech to express passionately held opinions and I'm a blowhard, a demagogue and more. But people who express opinions that oppose mine, just as fervently as I do, aren't. I did call Moore a blowhard and so forth in my open letter to him, and I'll tell you why. I did it to expose his threats to sue anyone who criticzed him or his movie as being worthless. Beyond that, I'll leave the name-calling to others.

What I've experienced is exactly the kind of jaded cynicism, hopeless negativity and abject defeatism about our great country that Moore indulges in. I was stuck in it for most of my 20s and 30s. Praises be, I'm mostly free of it.

Just...
...as i thought. Another blowhard, spouting off about something you've neither seen nor experienced.
Kinda punches LARGE holes in your arguements, y'know? Them being second hand and regurgitated.
Oh, and for your info, I do listen to Rush and others. That's how I know how fascist the US is becoming.
Keep the blinklers on, though. You'll feel more comfortable that way.

Why the question mark in the blog title?
Made you look, didn't it? And, no, I'm not interested in seeing Fahrenheit 911. You liberal folks want me to watch it before I criticize it further, but I have better things to do with my time and money. But be honest - neither do any of you want to listen to Rush or Hannity, although you freely criticize them. And listening to them doesn't cost you a dime!

Yo WriterofDark,
I'd also like to know if you've actually bothered to see the movie (or are you just taking the biased words of Drug Rush and Insanity Hannity as Gospel?)--since you've been devoting a substantial part of your blog time to bashing it!

Assuming You Haven't...
...been to see the movie, you may find it helpful to read Stoneheart's balanced and thoughtful review of it
here.
You never know - it may even convince you to go see the thing you are so vociferously criticising!

Two Quick...
...questions.
1. Have you actually seen the movie yet?
2. Why the question mark in your blog title?

Strange that you call yourself "writeroflight" ... Reading your posts perhaps it actually is time to let some light in? Good luck to you, nonetheless.
