Michael Moore is drawing huge crowds!

I haven't read the book, so I know not whereof you speak.

However, I feel compelled to say this.  We cannot permit any
political party to "own" Jesus Christ.  We cannot
permit any political party to declare, over and over again
(visit a political chat for verification) that a democrat
cannot be a Christian.  Or a patriot. Or a loyal American. 
The right wing has been hiding behind Christianity since at
least 1964.  They have talked the talk, but not walked the
walk.

And, to me, they have blasphemed, according to the Bible, by
so using the image of Christ to protect them from attack. 
Nobody wants to attack Christ.  Nobody wants to attack the
American flag.  But, in the eyes of the Christian Right,
anyone not marching with them is (1) not a Christian; (2) Not
a patriot;  (3) treasonous; (4) Not worthy of respect as an
American;  (5) Open for the most filthy insults capable of
being given; (6) Accused of communist ((athiest)affiliation; 
(7) accused of being a homosexual; (8)Should be denied free
speech; and (9) should be denied the right of dissent.

I do not find much of Christianity, as I know it and believe
it, in the Christian Right's propaganda and desire for power. 
I do not find much Americanism in the Christian Right's
propaganda for desire and power.  I find a blasphey of Christ
and a lack of civility, and a desire to convert America into
some kind of "thing" equivalent to Iran's Islamic
theocracy.  Thank God I was born in America.  Thank God I was
born into a Christian philosophy.  And thank God for both that
give me the ability to think and the power to act upon that
thought to protect my country.

At the moment, hypocracy rests with the right wing.  They are
co-opting both the right to be Christian and the right to be
an American.

The Christian Right does now have a patent on God or the Flag.
 Dissent, free speech and the Christian Right (to quote
Sharpton--who really isn't considering becoming president--)
need to be encountered 
by the right Christians.

Amen.

It taught me a lot.  Kinda like Kevin Phillips teaches a lot. 
But I liked more because he is current and "still
thinking about it," and telling all the rest of us to
"think about it."

Michael is being put down by the right wing as well as the
left wingers who have been bought out.  Michael has it down
pat.

His initial fervor for Clark was balanced by his statements
that he would be watching and future judging.

As we should all do.
