Comments on: Michael Moore's Imperfect Diagnosis

The New Republic: "Sicko" Has Its Flaws, But Is Also A Compelling Indictment Of U.S. Health Care

[redhoffer]

kommoncents - Sorry you have a hard time understanding stuff. You honestly missed everything I wrote I guess. To spell it out:

-Jesus was poor.
-Jesus gave healing to anyone who wanted it, poor, old, whatever. Jesus offered "universal healing" to anybody who was sick.
-Healing is pretty much like health care.
-Christians in general are against "universal healthcare", or don't promote it very much.
-Jesus would have supported "universal healthcare", we know this based upon the basic description of what he allegedly did or who he was as Jesus offered healing (aka health care) to everyone.
-Christians who are not strongly in favor of universal healthcare are abandoning a basic part of Jesus' teachings and way. They are failing in their faith, or just denying a basic part of who Jesus was because it is not convenient for them, which is pathetic, almost evil I would say.

I understood your message clearly. I appreciate the common sense wording. Thanks for you hopeful insight.

Why Ianueiuilie! I have never touched pot, let alone stirred it.

I just think its very important for compassionate conservative Christian Republicans to stick together during times like these when people are trying to ruin our society with things like health care and flag burning.

Its not fair that my husband has had to work all these years just to get health care, but these Hollyweird people like Michael Moore and Rosie ODonnell think we should provide it to everyone.
Liberal Democrats are going to ruin this country with these expensive ideas.

The next thing you know, people charged with crimes will be given FREE legal help.

Things like this just shouldn't happen in conservative Christian Republican countries.

You're either brain damaged or having a lot of fun stirring the pot! If it's the former, get help, if it's the latter, have fun.

To redhoffer: What the he** are you talking about? Does anyone understand a word he said? As with most religous fanatics, it's Jesus said this, God said that, and none of it makes any sense, just alot of dribble.

Moore's movies have generally been thoughtful, and he backs up most everything he shows in his films with hard evidence and in an entertaining (to many) way. These are documentaries and are unscripted. No twists in the footage, all of these poeple rally said what they did and had the experiences they did. He has made big money doing this, no more than the televangelists and much less than the most powerful neocons have by benefiting from the war.

Moore is even generally kind to those he "goes after". As appalling as Charton Heston's views were shown to be in "Bowling for Columbine", Moore still was very decent in his portrayal (but Moore was generally attacked for his footage).
Attack the messenger as usual, most repubs don't like facts.

It is sad that more powerful christians won't stand up to this current administration, as they could have the power to do what is right for america. This is not "hate against christians", but just disappointment.

Fighting so hard to keep a status quo that is so awful is not what Jesus would do. He was poor and would give healing (aka health care) to anyone and everyone. Why can't we follow these teachings? It's fundamental to who Jesus was, but many christians fight against those teachings. Who has the hate?

Thanks God for Mr. Moore, I would listen to him anyday over the idiots who blame everything on Dem or Repub, Left or Right etc...etc...etc..
I prefer a hopeful message for the future of our children.

moore would sell you that hopeful message for the price of a movie ticket. He is hoping that in the future your children would watch his movies to motivate him to sell your those hopefull messages.

DONT BE NAIVE. I dont think Moore is worried about the future of your children..he is more worried about the future of his bank account

As is usually the case; everybody loves the US Health Care model until they become a victim of it, then they can't say enough bad things about it. Wouldn't it be great to actually meet a conservative who can empathize with somebody else besides big business?

[xzavierbrown]

I am worried about Moore's intentions..he has so many misguided crusades about anything and everything that did nothing but generate money and notariety to himself AND never ever have I seen any improvement in any of the issues he was bringing forward.

is his intention is about helping people or his intention is helping himself to other people's money?

****

so does this mean you want to care and pay for these "sick homeless people"? give me you address and I tell them to bill you.

[neoconnie]

I agree with Xavier that liberals should have to pay for everything, including the Iraq war.

If Clinton hadn't hadn't done the nasty in the oval office, none of this would have happened.

Rush is right.

[msvenezia2]

Michael Moore ought to move to Cuba. He's got situational ethics. He *** about our country yet, even with all the hatred he spews about the United States, he sure seems to profiteer from it! In the past he lied about his stock portfolio claiming he owned no U.S. stocks while he did. He's a communist. If Cuba is such a great place, it's only 90 miles away. Try pulling your garbage there and you'll end up in a gulag with the rest of the writers and artists that have been imprisoned without trial by Castro.

To top it off, half our country is so poorly educated about history, economics, dictatorships, etc. that they actually listen to this insane maniac!

[xzavierbrown]

liberals just love whinning about anything..ASK THEM TO PAY OR SHED A FEW SWEAT for 'anything'..its a different story..the story of this liberal california governor..who was that guy again who was removed out of office because he RAISED AUTOMOBILE TAXES for this predominantly liberal state to pay for those predominatly liberal services that were implemented by a predominatly liberal groups..

best way to hit a liberal is through thier pocketbooks..LET THEM PAY FOR IT.

[neoconnie]

The idea that we should provide health care for everyone in our country is apalling. I think poor people deserve to be sicker because they refused to work, and because all fates are deserved.

When are the liberal democrats going to realize that a filthy goal like universal health care for everyone is just sick, sick, sick.

Its about the spirit of competition, and who can get the most. Its not about helping poor people.
That's not what Jesus would want.

[daysing1]

I don't know when these gullible liberals are going to wake up and see that the Constitution does not gaurantee that anyone has health care. When you have found it, please let me know.

Also, health care is a commodity. It is purchased by individuals for their use. It is not an entitlement.

Furthermore, when will the left and CBS admit that Michael Moore lies. He makes up "facts" he twists scenes in his "documentaries" to say something else not the truth. He makes it up. Puts it on the screen. Walks around smugly and then hops in his limo and rides back to his fancy NYC apartment, counting the money he made off slandering those who disagree with him.

Lastly, something else I have noticed whenever the left beats its chest to defend Moore. The anti-christian invectives come spewing out. I thought the left was "tolerant" and "open-minded". They just cannot help themselves. Their hatred and intolerance for christians and religious people knows no bounds. I guess Moore just draws that type of fan base.

I trust that ultra-lib POS about half as much as I trust GW Bush and that is pretty low.

I lived in Iceland for two year and is a modern welfare state, in the spirit of its Scandinavian neighbors and cousins. Everybody reaps the benifits of free health care, free education (from the preschool to the University level), guaranteed pension and high standards of living, while paying the price of a near 50% income tax. Illiteracy, poverty, prostitution and violent crime are virtually unknown, and the nation is one of the wealthiest in the world, with regard to its size.

"Only in love, abnormal psychology, and compassionate Christian republican conservatism does logic not apply."

By Sigmund Freud and NeoConnie

What I love most about being a compassionate conservative Christian Republican is that I don't have to really worry about anything. I know that our President consults with the Holy Ghost on important matters, and that helps me sleep very well.
