Summary: Dude, you rock!
Comment: Michael Moore is a brave , brave man. A bearded dove in the land of hawks. I first experienced MM's brand of seat-of-the-pants-pissing-in-public honesty when i watched "Bowling For Columbine". Since I am not American in any sense of the word (I temporarily work here), I am free of the stigma or loaded-ness of terms like "Liberal" , or "Democrat". I don't care about what label to give Moore , nor do I waste my time delegating him to the "Right" or the "Left" or the "Middle".
His insight is remarkable largely because he shows the ability to rise above the lies he's force-fed by the White House and its mouth-pieces , aka the "media". After all, he's been through the same stuff that most Americans have, and he comes from the same cultural "stock". Sure, a lot of Americans will BenedictArnold him...but wait!
The deciding factor in divining if Bush's actions are FOR or AGAINST the country is merely the timeline you will consider. In the short term..say, until the next elections, his actions, while causing widespread massacre may make him popular in the eyes of a nation scared into thinking their lives are in danger.
In the long term, the US is merely creating a sort of "401k of Hatred". Bush and the media have somehow convinced everyone that their (anti?)terror policies only took birth on 9/11. Not true...the US has been bombing innocents for many many years. That will take its toll.
Moore specifically exposes the fact that the Bin Ladens and the Bush family were, essentially, bed-mates. Going for Bush's jugular, he outlines several public lies , that he calls "Whoppers", that directly conflict with other offcially stated "facts". Gives accounts of areas where Bush's past and family creates a conflict of interests with his current position - that of the Pres.,thereby rendering all his actions highly suspicious.
Moore's next film "Fahrenheit 911" appears largely to be a film of this book.
Here's a big concern. Are the people who NEED to read these books reading them? Or, are the stupidly hypnotized masses gazing at Bush with adoring eyes as their "wartime president" who will kill the evil guys and restore the golden age of America? Get real, people. Bush and co. are only perpetuating the violence by taking what is not theirs and going where they are not wanted. Simple plot for simple-minded people? maybe.

Summary: Straight Up Book
Comment: This is a straight up book. Does Michael Moore tell the truth about some political issues everyone may not agree on. Darn straight. Does he does he take himself too seriously while doing it? Not at all. Moore is trying to spark controversy and he does a good job. To spark controversy you have to take a firm stand on something controversial. He's taking a ultra-extreme political stance because it will spark you to either agree or disagree. He wants you to feel passion one way or the other. It's the same formula Rikki Lee Travolta used writing "My Fractured Life" which is one of the best books ever on show biz. Moore has now written the equivalent for the political world by following the same formula. I recommend you read it.

Summary: Liberalism is a fanatical religion
Comment: Moore is catering to a demographic that is dumb enough to buy into these lies. America is the best country in the world simple because liberals are not in charge. Liberals are simply unable to answer the following questions that destroy their intellectually bankrupt arguments that buckle under the slightest scrutiny.
He exemplifies why Liberals believe the following seven lies :
1) America is rich only because it has stolen money from other countries. Africa would be rich if America had not stolen from Africa. Even the wealth created in the last 10 years from software development was the result of exploiting the Amazon jungles and the Congo.
2) Blacks in the US deserve reparations, even from people who's ancestors came to the US much later than the Civil War. Even Asian American taxpayers who arrived in the 1970s must pay reparations to Blacks who would otherwise be wealthy in Africa had they not been taken from there. Blacks are continually discriminated against by whites to this day at every possible opportunity. The fact that black immigrants from Dominica and Jamaica are doing much better than African Americans means that they are selectively not subjected to racism, even though their skin is even darker.
3) The SAT is racially biased. The fact that Korean, Chinese, and Indian students do better than whites still means that it is biased against blacks.
4) All rich people are rich because they had rich parents. If someone has poor parents, they have no chance. Communism, which fairly redistributes the fixed amount of dollars in the US, is the only fair solution. Even the immigrants who became rich after coming here (Andy Grove, George Soros, Vinod Khosla, Arnold Schwarznegger, etc.) have exploited others.
5) Bush's tax cut only favors the rich. The person making $300,000 was paying $100,000 in taxes, and now will only pay $80,000, getting a refund of $20,000! The person making only $20,000 was paying $2000 in taxes, and now will still pay $1500, getting a refund of only $500. It is unfair that the rich person gets a refund that is 40 times larger than the poor person! They should get a refund of the same size! The fact that the rich person is STILL paying $80,000 while the poor person is only paying $1500, or less than 2% as much, is irrelevent. The rich are evil, and we have to take it away.
6) We have NO right to attack the Taliban, even though they don't allow girls to go to school and force women to wear a burkha. Women in the US, however, are still held back by the glass ceiling.
7) All the world's cultures are equal. The fact that immigrants from every part of the globe want to leave their countries and come to the US is not a valid point. I do not need to visit Africa, China, Brazil, or Iraq to know that their cultures are better than America. It is okay for China to massacre its own students at Tianamen, and conduct genocide against Tibetans and Uighurs, but it is wrong for the US to attack the Taliban while providing food for the Afghan people.
If you are a conservative who is angered by liberals who put forth these arguments, you will the vacuum of liberal thought in this book. You will also know when you have WON when liberals say 'you are dumb' or 'you don't know' without putting forth an intelligent sentence.
If you are a liberal who thinks this book is true, get out into the real world and gain some common sense for a change (liberals usually only believe in free speech when it consists of their own liberal intellectual incest.).
Note that the fools giving this book five stars do not actually point out any flaws in conservative reasoning, but just scream about things not relevant to common sense. That is because CONSERVATIVES HAVE ALREADY ANALYZED AND DEFEATED THEIR POINTS, and they have no choice but to cry in protest to their being outwitted and embarrassed. It is easy to win a debate against some liberal pseudo-intellectual.
Liberals are so dumb that their fanatical beliefs have actually become their religion. They are religious fanatics to just as great a degree as a Crackpot Christian.
Liberals are also incredibly racist - they hate educated minorities only because they are dark-skinned people who do not subscribe to their fanatical religion of liberalism
