Michael Moore Slammed By Someone Who Was There
Michael Moore vs. America
The Fifth Column Michael Westfall
April 14, 2007
There are conservatives who believe that we should not address the liberals on the Left, even though they are waging full war against the tenants of our Christian heritage and those who practice the Christian faith. I respectfully disagree.
Ever since he garnered the attention of the public, Michael Moore has been one of the major Leftist liberal icons that have been calling conservatives - and especially Christian conservatives - radical wing nuts.
What did Moore base his career on? Does Moore have any genuine credentials? If so, what are they?
Did he begin many years ago back in the 1980’s by riding the coat tails and using the ideas, work and identity of concerned Flint autoworker activists?
What is the authentic Flint story, and where did Moore really come from?
Is Mike really on the side of the common family man and an expert on everything from politics to health care, or is he a manipulative Leftist multi-millionaire pretending and playing out his liberal illusions? Has he used his celebrity and influence to damage America in important ways?
God works in mysterious ways, and twenty-five years ago it would have been hard to imagine that I would someday be the editor of a site that publishes conservative papers. In the 1970’s and 1980’s I was the leader of various activist blue-collar grassroots worker groups, all headquartered in Flint Michigan.
From Flint, we spoke out against the corporate restructuring that was evaporating America’s premier manufacturing jobs. Our people were dedicated two-fisted worker rebels with thick hides that put the cause above themselves. Our workers had the intestinal fortitude necessary to address the big picture that covered all of the complex issues ranging from automation to global sourcing and were made up of honest hard working family people that cared about our nation and our way of life. We became involved in politics, and I ran for and was elected as the chairman of the union caucus in power at the largest truck plant in the world. We led large worker rallies and participated in countless related functions all around our nation.
Although you didn’t hear it in Michael Moore’s fiction film, Roger and Me or the new film about Michael Moore called Manufacturing Dissent, Michael Moore was my guest at GM stockholders meetings before his Roger movie. At these stockholders meetings our blue-collar activists would confront Roger Smith on the issues that Moore would come to declare as his solo issues.
I call Roger and Me fiction because I was there and I know. Michael Moore, who wasn’t even from Flint, had few credentials and is not the genius intellect that his Leftist liberal pals thinks that he is.
Moore only hit the colossal financial jackpot when he successfully pretended to show to the world that it was himself who was fighting the fight that the real worker activists were engaged in. For Roger, Moore usurped the Flint activists work, ideas and popularity. He effectively made himself into the solo Flint activist rebel spokesman hero for the world when he was anything but a common man’s hero.
Moore’s claim to fame has since been based on making cookie cutter knockouts or croc-umentary style films patterned after the Roger film.
Mike Moore was never a blue-collar activist and it is up for debate if he was even a Flint talking head. He was really not much more then an observer in Flint who made a cheap movie. For Moore to have alluded or suggested otherwise, or that he was the lone Flint Don Quixote raising the issues, is just false and one of his first most glaring problems with the truth. This is fundamentally important because it is what he has based his entire career upon.
Today, the world has seen Mike in action, and much of the world questions his narcissistic endeavor to make a matinee idol out of himself by ridiculing people, making fun of serious situations and using calculated lunacy, such as offering America’s college students free underwear, to get attention for his contrived arguments.
Pro-lifers have heard Mike’s whining nasal chants about abortion. They remember Moore’s statements that he voted for Jimmy Carter because he thought that if Gerald Ford were elected that abortion would end. Influential abortion proponents like Moore have the blood of America’s unborn on their hands because they personally have helped maintain the slaughter and the American holocaust that stains our nation’s soul.
On the political front, Moore is a sterling example of the bankrupt values and morality of the Democrats on the liberal Left. Mike was accepted as a stand up celebrity for the Democrats in the 2004 Presidential election. He was the radical poster boy and icon of the Democratic Party with his slacker campaign. Unbelievably, he was accepted as an iniquitous front man for the top Democratic Presidential candidate John Kerry.
Today, Ralph Nader and I are on opposite sides of the political table on some important issues. That said, Ralph has always been America’s premier consumer advocate, and, whatever your political persuasion, America can never repay Ralph Nader for his contributions in these areas.
Relative to Moore’s loyalties, Nader, who ran against Kerry for president, opened important doors for Moore in Mike’s early years. I worked with Ralph during those early years, and in 1989 I asked Ralph why he would get behind and support such a person as Moore. How did Moore repay Ralph Nader? Well, when Nader ran for president against Kerry, Moore jumped onto Kerry’s bus and began a noteworthy campaign of deep personal character assassination against Ralph Nader all over the nation. If you have a core of decency, you just don’t degrade and turn on people in that manner when they have done so much for you.
On other fronts, staunch citizens who believe in our American system shake their heads. They view Moore as the two-faced adversary of the 2nd amendment who wants to refuse Americans the right to own a gun to defend their families even though Moore hypocritically surrounds himself with gun toting armed guards.
As a Leftist religious icon, Moore reaches out and preaches to his liberal choir, which in too many instances have been America’s young impressionable college students. Like a twisted pied piper pagan preacher Mike has targeted our youth, held rallies with them and has been quick to inflict his convoluted values on his liberal enamored listeners and viewers.
Mike’s mouth pukes out profanities and obscenities as he attacks people he personally labels as America’s conservative infidels. He defies basic Biblical scripture and raises his fist against God’s word as he chastises Christian principles.
The inherent vice of capitalism is the unequal sharing of blessings; the inherent virtue of socialism is the equal sharing of miseries.
