Brain -> Michael Moore: There's Going to Be a Second Crash (And Glenn Beck Can F--k Off) (3/5/2010 1:25:57 AM)

Look at how the right attacks Moore writing him off as some whacko, hippy liberal.
Moore is a hard working successful business owner who made it without an inheritance. He dresses modestly and is religiously devout but refuses to advertise the fact publicly for gain.
Nevertheless he still practices religion more actively than his horde of self-preening, sneering detractors.
Moore's been a gun enthusiast winning a prize for shooting and he's shaped his life actively combining work with his core beliefs - zealously championing the American Constitution and the concept of the American way of life all while being a happily married, responsible parent.
Yes, if everybody was as flaky as that, America might have a chance.
Michael Moore: There's Going to Be a Second Crash (And Glenn Beck Can F--k Off)
We interviewed Michael Moore on The Young Turks today and he was not shy about sharing his opinions. Anyone surprised? He had very strong words for the Democratic Party, the state of our political system and Glenn Beck.
What he thinks of Democrats and Republicans:
You know, I tell you, these Democrats are disgusting; wimps and wusses and weasels. You know, get some spine. This is why I have to admire the Republicans. They at least stand for something.
They at least have the courage of their convictions. They get elected to office, they come into town, and they go "Get outta my way, there's a new sheriff in town. This is the way we're doing things. Get outta here." And then they do it. You know. I mean what they do is crazy. But dammit, they are good at it. We should take a page out of their book.
Can we fix the broken political and economic system in America?
It's not going to get fixed. There's going to be another crash. The commercial real estate bubble hasn't burst yet. That's going to burst. The credit card debt is so huge right now, it will never be repaid. That's a house of cards waiting to fall. So the crash of '08 is going to look like coming attractions. And we're in for a much, much worse time.
What he would have said to Glenn Beck if he was in Van Jones' place:
Fuck off! That's what I would have said. But again, you mentioned Glenn Beck, and of course, he's the guy that's called for my removal from the planet Earth, so...

There's one thing you know about Michael Moore, he's going to come strong. Unfortunately, I share his pessimism about the system. But I believe there is hope at the end of that tunnel. And as corny as it sounds, that hope is with the American people. We have to stop letting corporate interests buy our politicians and government officials. Make a change.
