Subject: A Letter to All Who Voted for George W. Bush


To All My Fellow Americans Who Voted for George W. Bush:

On this, the fourth anniversary of 9/11, I'm just curious, how does it
feel?

How does it feel to know that the man you elected to lead us after we
were attacked went ahead and put a guy in charge of FEMA whose main
qualification was that he ran horse shows?

That's right. Horse shows.

I really want to know -- and I ask you this in all sincerity and with
all due respect -- how do you feel about the utter contempt Mr. Bush
has shown for your safety? C'mon, give me just a moment of honesty.
Don't start ranting on about how this disaster in New Orleans was the
fault of one of the poorest cities in America. Put aside your hatred
of Democrats and liberals and anyone with the last name of Clinton.
Just look me in the eye and tell me our President did the right thing
after 9/11 by naming a horse show runner as the top man to protect us
in case of an emergency or catastrophe.

I want you to put aside your self-affixed label of
Republican/conservative/born-again/capitalist/ditto-head/right-winger
and just talk to me as an American, on the common ground we both call
America.

Are we safer now than before 9/11? When you learn that behind the
horse show runner, the #2 and #3 men in charge of emergency
preparedness have zero experience in emergency preparedness, do you
think we are safer?

When you look at Michael Chertoff, the head of Homeland Security, a
man with little experience in national security, do you feel secure?

When men who never served in the military and have never seen young
men die in battle send our young people off to war, do you think they
know how to conduct a war? Do they know what it means to have your
legs blown off for a threat that was never there?

Do you really believe that turning over important government services
to private corporations has resulted in better services for the people?

Why do you hate our federal government so much? You have voted for
politicians for the past 25 years whose main goal has been to de-fund
the federal government. Do you think that cutting federal programs
like FEMA and the Army Corps of Engineers has been good or bad for
America? GOOD OR BAD?

With the nation's debt at an all-time high, do you think tax cuts for
the rich are still a good idea? Will you give yours back so hundreds
of thousands of homeless in New Orleans can have a home?

Do you believe in Jesus? Really? Didn't he say that we would be judged
by how we treat the least among us? Hurricane Katrina came in and blew
off the facade that we were a nation with liberty and justice for all.
The wind howled and the water rose and what was revealed was that the
poor in America shall be left to suffer and die while the President of
the United States fiddles and tells them to eat cake.

That's not a joke. The day the hurricane hit and the levees broke, Mr.
Bush, John McCain and their rich pals were stuffing themselves with
cake. A full day after the levees broke (the same levees whose repair
funding he had cut), Mr. Bush was playing a guitar some country singer
gave him. All this while New Orleans sank under water.

It would take ANOTHER day before the President would do a flyover in
his jumbo jet, peeking out the widow at the misery 2500 feet below him
as he flew back to his second home in DC. It would then be TWO MORE
DAYS before a trickle of federal aid and troops would arrive. This was
no seven minutes in a sitting trance while children read "My Pet Goat"
to him. This was FOUR DAYS of doing nothing other than saying "Brownie
(FEMA director Michael Brown), you're doing a heck of a job!"

My Republican friends, does it bother you that we are the laughing
stock of the world?

And on this sacred day of remembrance, do you think we honor or shame
those who died on 9/11/01? If we learned nothing and find ourselves
today every bit as vulnerable and unprepared as we were on that bright
sunny morning, then did the 3,000 die in vain?

Our vulnerability is not just about dealing with terrorists or natural
disasters. We are vulnerable and unsafe because we allow one in eight
Americans to live in horrible poverty. We accept an education system
where one in six children never graduate and most of those who do
can't string a coherent sentence together. The middle class can't pay
the mortgage or the hospital bills and 45 million have no health
coverage whatsoever.

Are we safe? Do you really feel safe? You can only move so far out and
build so many gated communities before the fruit of what you've sown
will be crashing through your walls and demanding retribution. Do you
really want to wait until that happens? Or is it your hope that if
they are left alone long enough to soil themselves and shoot
themselves and drown in the filth that fills the street that maybe the
problem will somehow go away?

I know you know better. You gave the country and the world a man who
wasn't up for the job and all he does is hire people who aren't up for
the job. You did this to us, to the world, to the people of New
Orleans. Please fix it. Bush is yours. And you know, for our peace and
safety and security, this has to be fixed. What do you propose?

I have an idea, and it isn't a horse show.

Yours,
Michael Moore

To Michael Moore,

How about a great big steaming cup of STFU
Grumpyr

I didn't know you were one of Michael Moore's lickspittles John Lee Hook.' You are more messed up than I realized. Heal Baby.

Radio Address of the President to the Nation - September 15, 2001

Good morning. This weekend I am engaged in extensive sessions with members of my National Security Council, as we plan a comprehensive assault on terrorism. This will be a different kind of conflict against a different kind of enemy.

This is a conflict without battlefields or beachheads, a conflict with opponents who believe they are invisible. Yet, they are mistaken. They will be exposed, and they will discover what others in the past have learned: Those who make war against the United States have chosen their own destruction. Victory against terrorism will not take place in a single battle, but in a series of decisive actions against terrorist organizations and those who harbor and support them.

We are planning a broad and sustained campaign to secure our country and eradicate the evil of terrorism. And we are determined to see this conflict through. Americans of every faith and background are committed to this goal.

Yesterday I visited the site of the destruction in New York City and saw an amazing spirit of sacrifice and patriotism and defiance. I met with rescuers who have worked past exhaustion, who cheered for our country and the great cause we have entered.

In Washington, D.C., the political parties and both Houses of Congress have shown a remarkable unity, and I'm deeply grateful. A terrorist attack designed to tear us apart has instead bound us together as a nation. Over the past few days, we have learned much about American courage -- the courage of firefighters and police officers who suffered so great a loss, the courage of passengers aboard United 93 who may well have fought with the hijackers and saved many lives on the ground.

Now we honor those who died, and prepare to respond to these attacks on our nation. I will not settle for a token act. Our response must be sweeping, sustained and effective. We have much do to, and much to ask of the American people.

You will be asked for your patience; for, the conflict will not be short. You will be asked for resolve; for, the conflict will not be easy. You will be asked for your strength, because the course to victory may be long.

In the past week, we have seen the American people at their very best everywhere in America. Citizens have come together to pray, to give blood, to fly our country's flag. Americans are coming together to share their grief and gain strength from one another.

Great tragedy has come to us, and we are meeting it with the best that is in our country, with courage and concern for others. Because this is America. This is who we are. This is what our enemies hate and have attacked. And this is why we will prevail.

Thank you for listening.

I can be a little slow at time's , but can somebody tell me how sardonicus's post has anything to do with Michael Chertoff running horse show's just wondering? It was a motivating post though

michael moore is not a leftist.....buut they still cannot put away the venom to see the truth....these type of conservatives are an extreemely dangerous threat to our country..... if anyone cannot get the common sense and total lack of politics in that letter....you should not have the right to vote.....you are retarded enough to be on death row in texas if you cannot understand that letter...........
thats why there is only one serious respons so far.....
really no one can be honest for a moment!!! that is putting your own politics above everyones safety.......

Michael Moore's affinity for the truth is similiar to Rosy O'donnells affinity for Guns.

Steelieosus, the Bush speech was intended as a counteroint to the the Michael Moore prattle posted earlier in the thread. Sorry for any inconvenience. It is 9/11/05, ne?
