Default Moore at Lehigh

The only time I've been close to Moore was when he came to speak at Lehigh. There was a college republican table outside the auditorium he was speaking at offering literature. The luny leftists that came to see Moore ended up destroying their table and literature and violently attacking the college republicans. I wasn't there so I can't tell you the whole story, but as I understand Moore really got them riled up right before it happened.

I'm left wondering what loony leftists could possibly afford Lehigh (gotta love mommy and daddy protecting their kids!). Moreover why would any loony leftist want to go to an institution that did/does? so much defense research (I believe most of it was connected with the steel...)

Well he does have a point. I mean look how many communist doctors there are in our medical/biology textbooks. People like Ian Flemming, Watson, Crick, and Wachter. Oh wait....

I was really hoping Moore would just go away. This movie is sad news.

Moore has turned out to be a full-blown communist:


TIME: Of the declared presidential candidates, down to the Dennis Kucinich level, say, who do you think has the best health-care plan? Including Kucinich? We could include him.

Michael Moore: Then Kucinich, but he doesn’t go far enough. He supports what he’s calling a single- payer nonprofit plan, but from my read, it would still allow [private] entities to control things, as opposed to the government. What’s wrong with the government? The right wing and the G.O.P. have done a wonderful job brainwashing people that government doesn’t work, and then, as Al Franken says, they get elected and proceed to prove the point. [Laughs.]

TIME: So you think Washington could handle a program this big?

Michael Moore: Ask anyone on Social Security if their check comes on time every month. Like clockwork. And it comes through the so-called dilapidated U.S. mail. My dad’s check literally will come on the same day every month. The government has been quite good and efficient at creating a number of systems. If I tell people the administrative costs for a private health plan —advertising, p.r., executive pay —are 20% and ask them what Medicare’s administrative costs are, they’ll guess 50%, 60%. The fact is, for Medicare/ Medicaid, it’s 3%. The last figure I read for Canada’s [government] system is 1.7%.

If he has really used Cuba as an example on his things can be done better, then that would blow my mind. It's like visiting Communist Russia, back in the day, to see how the food supply can be handled better. Or current day North Korea for that matter.

America's health care system sucks.
America's justice system sucks.
America's prison system sucks.
America's foreign policy sucks.
America's uber-patriotism and religiousness suck.

America's TV shows and movies are great.
America's sports are great.

I'm a liberal. I don't believe in God. Am I a communist?

Do you think the above problems have to do with a lack of state invervention or are they caused by state intervention?

Umm, are the people in the "land of freedom" not allowed to be communists?
