Moore Is Less
It’s pretty clear that news conduits are publishing Moore’s comments for comic relief on a slow news day. It’s obvious that at core, he harbors strong communist values despite his curious success in the capitalist world. The appearance is even a giveaway. The unkempt hair, the hat, the scruffy beard. He looks like a Fidel Castro but much better fed. Some may recall that just recently, he was suing the Weinstein brothers for monies allegedly owed to him from his recent celluloid delusion. If he believes everyone’s money belongs in the collective socialist pool, why bother fighting for it?
There is no more remarkable testament to America’s freedom of expression than the fact that Moore is able to spread his deranged gospel …and people will pay for it! He reminds me of the precocious but annoying kid at family gatherings who always wishes to be the centre of attention by doing goofy things such as pulling spaghetti from one nostril through to the other. As he gets older, he becomes a social pariah and thus behaves more bizarrely to get attention from increasingly aloof peers. Somehow, kindred spirits to Moore find him and they glom onto each other like so many globules of mercury. Unfortunately for us, some of those kindred spirits own media outlets and so Moore’s warped views reach the mainstream without his parents around to tell him to go to his room.
What our hero is advocating in the linked video is outright socialism. Someone should drop a note in his breakfast barrel to remind him that he lives in a country that happens to be ground zero of capitalism in the world, though admittedly many are trying to change that. It’s as if he had filled himself at the buffet table and then preached to the people after him not to eat there. Why don’t people get tired of hypocrites like Moore? Why don’t they tie him up in the dead of night, throw him in a rucksack and ship him one way to Cuba? His opinion of things may change when he’s in a place where the access to Big Macs is not as easy as he has obviously become accustomed to. It will dawn upon him as to why there are no fat communists, except the leaders. He may be surprised to find that in a society which shares the wealth, there isn’t any. It’s easy to share nothing. All those with brains and drive have left…to the U.S. But maybe he’ll find a more willing audience for his opinions there…if they let him speak at all. I’m sure there would be many Cubans willing to swap places with him.
Moore mistakes his limited commercial success to genius. In America, they’ll buy anything. Even William Hung of American Idol fame sold albums. He should confine his voracious appetite to restaurants instead of the hand that feeds him.
