Michael Moore, Benevolent Peacemaker
Part One...
by Tina Grazier
After years of vicious attacks, lies and distortions aimed at republicans, Michael Moore says he wants to play nice. He can afford to be generous now, now that his party is "controlling" things again, but he begins badly:
"...those of us on the other side of the fence don't really know what it's like to win...forgive us"
He uses the victim card to set the tone and then has the audacity to ask for forgiveness for not knowing how to rule? Forty years of democrat dominance in Congress, The Kennedy Dynasty known as Camelot, Jimmy Carter, Tip O'Neal and the inimitable Bill Clinton...your assertion doesn't ring true good buddy...were you just unconscious during that period in our history?
I, and the millions who voted for Democrats, have no interest in revenge for the last 12 years.
Interesting that your perception is there might be a need for revenge...could you be hoping our side won't seek revenge for your unkind...no, cruel and conniving activities? But revenge isn't necessary when your guys have already mastered all the basic politically menacing arts: defamation and harassment of persons, maligning and destroying the "enemy" party, lawsuits, hearings, and oh, my very favorite, repetitious accusation in the press based on little or nothing, but sensationalized all to he**!
Michael says he wants to extend an olive branch, but can we trust him? Lets evaluate the offer. His "olive branch" comes in the form of a 12 POINT PLEDGE:
1) We will always respect you. We will never, ever, call you "unpatriotic" simply because you disagree with us. In fact, we encourage you to dissent and disagree with us.
Drop the "always" Mikey...you haven't earned it and it sounds silly coming from you.
2) We will let you marry whomever you want (even though some among us consider your Republican behavior to be "different" or "immoral"). Who you marry is none of our business. Love, and be in love -- it's a wonderful gift.
Let us? You will "let us" marry whomever we want? How Lordly of you. The institution is centuries old and well defined...don't lie about it!
3) We will not spend your grandchildren's money on our personal whims or to enrich our friends. It's your checkbook too, and we will balance it for you.
OH PLEASE...ever heard of LBJ's "Great Society"? Or what about Robert Byrd, the king of pork, or Hillary Clinton's infamous healthcare plan? (she's bringing it back you know). TAX and SPEND was invented by your guys under the guise of helping the poor (using people, especially the poor is tasteless and sick)... balanced budgets have never been on your radar screen.
4) When we soon bring our sons and daughters home from Iraq, we will bring your sons and daughters home too. We promise never to send your kids off to war based on some amateur Power Point presentation cooked up
by men who have never been to war.
"Our sons and daughters"...which do you have over there, a son or daughter? ...Amateur, huh? Insults don't really fit in the lexicon of peacemaking...we're only on #4 and you've dropped that olive branch already!
5) When we make America the last Western democracy to have universal health coverage, and all Americans are able to get help when they fall ill, we promise that you too will be able to see a doctor, regardless of your ability to pay. And when stem cell research delivers treatments and cures for diseases that afflict you and your loved ones, we'll make sure those advances are available to you and your family too.
You brought out your "magic wand" right off the bat, didn't you? And your plan is to "give" free healthcare and miraculous cures to all without putting the bill on the backs of our kids and without limiting and tying the hands of those who actually perform the medical tasks. And if that isn't enough you're also going to keep the communal checkbook balanced? Brother you're gonna need that magic wand...better look for some fairy dust too, juuuuuust in case.
6) When we clean up our air and water, you too will be able to breathe the cleaner air and drink the purer water. When we put an end to global warming, you will no longer have to think about buying oceanfront property in Yuma.
More magic wand talk...and who is this "we" anyhow? If problems do exist, it will be entrepreneurs, inventors and industry that produce the actual solutions. They will do it based on real science, not theories and scare talk because these bright and enterprising folks will be using their own dimes instead of taxpayer money. When your own money or that of investors is at stake you can't afford to go flying off in all directions hoping to get it right. The taxpayer will contribute voluntarily through the purchase and utilization of new products and services and technologies. The only things you guys ever produce is more HOT AIR with slogans, bumper stickers, regulations and laws...these undermine invention...and require higher TAXES.
Tune in tomorrow for part two of Michael Moore's 12 point plan.
