Fahrenheit 9/11
July 16th 2004
Warning: anti-Bush political post. For the love of our great country, go see this film. Michael Moore says a lot of stuff, and, to quote Donnie Darko, “I pray that this is merely a work of fiction.” But I know that at least part of it is factual, and I will say that even if 10 percent of the facts in the movie are true, then you have every reason not to vote for President Bush in the November election. God knows he has the power to win it, and for that very reason we must not vote for him. I’ll say one thing more:
I was sitting in the car with my father after seeing the movie. I asked him what we do if Bush gets reelected. I said, he could get out of control.
“He’s already out of control.” he replied, which of course, is true.
And I can’t finish this conversation, because I just realized that if I publish what I was about to write, I could get labeled as a terrorist and Bad Things could happen. And that is one more reason. Please, if you trust that I am a rational intelligent thinking person, incapable of subversion and brainwash (and I am), trust me. We must vote for Kerry. Not nader. Not anyone else. Kerry. Because, frankly, I don’t care what Nader has to say about our party system, a vote for anyone but Kerry is a vote for Bush.
This is not an extremist view. I am not being “too serious.” I am not blowing this out of proportion. Please watch the film, especially if you are planning on voting for Bush. I give you this argument: I, a non-christian, saw The Passion of Christ. You, if non-democrat, have the same obligation to see F9/11.
Rational Addendum: I know that F9/11 is a conglomeration of truths misleading the viewer into thinking there is a big conspiracy — we have to remember that we’re not getting Bush out of office because of anything like that — his views on the environment, economics, terrorism, oil, and mostly the war in Iraq are fundamentally wrong, conspiracy or not.








Tristan,
Terrific blog … clean and smart design.
I saw 911, too, and high recommend that you read “The Age of Sacred Terror” by Simon and Benjamin.
