Michael Moore Bucks Up the Troops

How can I not post this? Here's my favorite part:

Enough of the handwringing! Enough of the doomsaying! Do I have to come there and personally calm you down? Stop with all the defeatism, OK? Bush IS a goner -- IF we all just quit our whining and bellyaching and stop shaking like a bunch of nervous ninnies. Geez, this is embarrassing! The Republicans are laughing at us. Do you ever see them cry, "Oh, it's all over! We are finished! Bush can't win! Waaaaaa!"

And there's this:

They are relentless and that is why we secretly admire them -- they just simply never, ever give up. Only 30% of the country calls itself "Republican," yet the Republicans own it all -- the White House, both houses of Congress, the Supreme Court and the majority of the governorships. How do you think they've been able to pull that off considering they are a minority? It's because they eat you and me and every other liberal for breakfast and then spend the rest of the day wreaking havoc on the planet.

In essence, he's right. What he misses is that more of this country is conservative than they are Republican. I'm a Christian first, a conservative second, and a Republican third. That formula fits for more folks than Michael Moore and his crowd care to think about.

In a way, Moore makes the case for the election. Kerry's plan is get out of Iraq, pull back, bring our troops home. In his never ending Vietnam flashback, he refuses to see the Iraqi conflict for what it is: an important front in the War on Terror, not an end in itself. World War IV, not a police action.
