Fahrenheit 9/11

[BumpinDoug 10+ year member]

He's constantly getting bashed. The economy was tanking as he took office 9/11 happens and he has to decide how to straighten out the economy and what he should do with 9/11. 9/11 has never happened to america. The military wasn't attacked but rather the citizens of the country were. Right now we are taking out terrorists that are fighting against us in Iraq and yet americans are pissed. We are taking out people that are a danger to all civilized nations that don't want to follow the islamic radicals and nations are pissed off.
9/11 was planned well before Bush took office but hey let's give him all the blame. I'd say we got soft. We allowed the terrorist to do their thing and it finally came back and bit us. We must improve intelligence and we will always be fighting against terrorist for as long as the country is standing, unless we decide to just let terrorist go. Then we'll have a nation that has bombs and deaths constantly like the middle east.

Exactly how I feel. President Clinton was in office for 8 years before 9/11, Bush only 8 months, and he gets blamed for it. Blame shouldnt be placed on something like this, but it should be a warning that things like this are a reality in the future. So while we jump the gun and try and take out other nations that could be a threat like Iraq...Americans get pissed. I just dont understand this country sometimes, and I am sure Iraq did have harmful weapons, theyve just had over 10 years to hide them, possibly in other countries or on the seas. We sat back in shock and horror that something like 9/11 happened, then we do something to prevent another one and no one is in support. Its a shame

For all of you saying that this film is a "Documentary", I laugh in your face. How many republicans did MM interview? I counted...zero. Now I am sure this documentary got a fair and balanced point of view from both sides...Yeah right. I could make a better "documentary."

As for the people who say we shouldn't have gone to war with Iraq, do you not remember what happened on September 11, 2001? Bush stepped up and kicked some *** to the people that did that to us. That took balls. Do you remember when the WTC got bombed and the action Clinton took? I can't either; I guess that is because he didn't take action. Maybe if Clinton wasn't a coward and took care of terrorism then, Sept. 11th would have never had happened.

As for the people who were just shocked at how when in the movie the Congressmen who were asked to sign up their kid for the war said no, try getting ANY parent to sign their kid up to go to war. That was just a ridiculous point. No parent would sign up their kid for war, no mater where they work. And the point of the Congressmen not thinking twice about the troops they were sending off to war....HELLO! The troops that they are sending off to war are in the armed forces! What else do the people in the armed forces train for? Taking orders at Wendi’s? Give me a break.

A couple quotes I like:

First off, was that EarDrummin who said about moron hick. Speaking for those moron hicks, you have no clue about them. Just because we are not brainwashed people like you big city folk. I tell you what, where I live we have more honest, moral, kind hearted, patriotic, well liked, family oriented, intelligent, hard working, middle class moron hicks. The so-called hicks are some of waht keeps this country running. If it wasn't for hick farmers, hick truck drivers, hick mechanics, hicks that work in factories where woudl you be. Just because Bush comes from Texas and dosn't speak exactly like you or believe like you, how could you call him a hick moron. I personally love to listen to George Bush's speaches. He speaks how he was raised. He dosn't change the way he talks so that other people like it. He is pure and honest. I'd like to see you come out and spend a week with us hick morons.

Bush is def. getting my vote come election time. I stand behind him in almost all that he has done. He has some of the best moral i have seen out of any politicians. I truly respect him for that.

We originally started out as a nation of British (and various other nationalities) hicks who 'butchered the language.' As much as most people are unaware, this nation is in majority of hicks. Just because you live in the city doesn't mean that the rest of the nation lives the same way. What happens is that these hicks work (or in some cases they don't) too much to have the time to be well-educated on each side, which is why each side tries and influences this group of people in any way possible. Now i am not just limiting this to just country-side hicks - there are town/city hicks too (in areas where there's a city in the middle of a lot of rural land).

I mean, why do you think there are so many talk shows with so many fukced up people? I don't think Jerry Springer/Maurey/Montel/etc would be around if we were all non-hicks.

The major problem is that each side tries to out-manipulate the other into getting uneducated people to go out and vote for so-and-so's side. I don't think either one is honest, but I know which one is full of more shit.

I am a full-blooded RedNeck hick. And I am proud of where I come from and how I was raised. My children will be raised just how i was. I would not want to be anywhere else. I live in God's country, and it is the most beautiful place on Earth. I live around some of the friendliest people. "Thank God I'm a Country Boy!!"

[anaranchi 10+ year member]

Right and i forgot that it was solely the job of president buch to search the world for possible terrorist threats, forget the other thousands of people in office. And Bush wasnt neccesarily on "vacation", he was out of office 42% of time, and probably 90% of that time he was working, there is never an off day for the president. And whats worse, Bush being out of office or Clinton ****ing around with interns instead of searching for threats overseas?

Like I said, a moron hick. If you're a hick, you're a hick.. I'm not saying YOU'RE a moron.

It's rather funny, you come to his defense and side with him based on the principle of "hickness." (I'm laughing on the inside) When you goto college, do they teach hick-ebonics? He's goes to an ivy league school, and some how massacres the English language in every speech he makes. I ask certain Republicans to visit a Dubya page time to time, and listen to the silly things he says. Yes, come to his defense.. especially based on his hickness.

He insults ethnicities, lies, and makes false allegations in his speeches. He then goes on to say that his speech writers were inconsistent in their sources, blaming them for what he (oh yeah, the President) had said.

Da Baller: I really would like to know how old you are, and where you come up with some of this stuff. Sure thing, I'm a suburban city-folk.. and I'm certainly brain washed. I'm so glad you pointed it out just now, because I would hate to continue any more of my college education which is "brainwashing" me. Instead of giving me a runaround of smelly doo-doo, why not tell me why you like Bush him so much, followed with a few facts, perhaps?

Bush has the highest moral of any president.. Bush was out working 90% of the time, ha ha ha.

Call it a false belief but here's my feeling on redneck's. They got balls. If we get invaded guess who are the first to say screw you we are going to take out all of you? It's the redneck's. Really tough guys. The last of the real men. Then you got these people that I won't even call men that take advantage of the benefits the military gives them and then when it's time to fight they say they hate the president are against the war and that they didn't plan on fighting. Well why did they sign up?

Something else. Guess who after 9/11 was against fighting back? The so called toughest of them all the rap artists. Who would have thought? They're willing to talk about selling drugs shooting people, yet when it comes to many being murdered on 9/11 they feel taking action was wrong.

One thing I hate. Where are all the perfect middle ground areas in america? You either have ultra liberal areas which teach how evil the white man is how we need socialist services and how the government knows how to spend the money better than you do or ultra close minded areas where racism exists.

When all is said and done as much as people make fun of the French our nation appears to becoming more and more like them. It's almost like there is a bigger war brewing within the US. Those that want to protect it and those that feel we should negotiate or wait until another strike happens and then take out a few of the enemy and then when until another strike happens and take out a few of the enemy.

I get the feeling now (in my area) that americans resent america.

I really think that liberals feel Bush is becoming the new Hitler of the world because he is exterminating a race off the face of the planet. What is that race you ask? Terrorists.

Bush is nowhere near a perfect president and in fact I'll probably vote third party, but he isn't given any credit for capturing terrorist. He has governments in the middle east actually helping in the fight rather than harboring terrorists and giving them safe ground.

I would hate to continue any more of my college education which is "brainwashing" me

Brainwashing: Inducing a person to modify his or her beliefs, attitudes, or behavior by conditioning through various forms of pressure or torture; 2. The application of a concentrated means of persuasion, such as an advertising campaign or repeated suggestion, in order to develop a specific belief or motivation.

One correlation that must be made is: college is a high pressure environment that deprives it's students of sleep and introduces them into a world of drugs and alcohol. Meanwhile, they are going to classes and being taught a 'liberal' education forcing to have to side with whatever the professors' beliefs happen to be in order to pass their classes. Now I am a firm believer in college education, but you must take everything you learn with a grain of salt. The environment of a college education is strikingly similiar to that of a chinese concentration camp where they brainwash their inmates through similiar means of sleep deprivation, drugs, and repetition repetition reptition of their propaganda.

Who would have thought....ya know you're right, some people cap on the rap artists for being stupid but holy $hit they're really quite intelligent and are against mindless killing.

This is one of the most ignorant comments I've heard, and obviously by a hick who knows nothing more than revenge, nothing of "talking it out," or "thinking it through." Bush, plain and simple went to war with a country that has never once threatened us because of an attack by an extremist group on america who tries to police the world. Those rappers actually knew what was going on, war without reason - based on scare tactics - is just Fu*king wrong, sorry.
