Dear Michael Moore....

So a few months back I had read a letter that Michael Moore wrote to President Obama involving the decision to send more troops to Afghanistan. Besides the fact that this massive douche bag has absolutely no concept of anything, and his ideas rely on absolutely no logic at all- he insults the military. Let's see his fucking credentials. Exactly. I'll go ahead and paste his letter to Obama, then after that I'll paste a letter to him from one of my battle buddies from MP school. I also want to include a letter written to him back in 2005, reminding him of his ignorance. I wanted to be the one who penned him as an idiot, but it looks like I don't have to.

Open letter to President Obama from Michael Moore

Dear President Obama,

Do you really want to be the new "war president"? If you go to West Point tomorrow night (Tuesday, 8pm) and announce that you are increasing, rather than withdrawing, the troops in Afghanistan, you are the new war president. Pure and simple. And with that you will do the worst possible thing you could do -- destroy the hopes and dreams so many millions have placed in you. With just one speech tomorrow night you will turn a multitude of young people who were the backbone of your campaign into disillusioned cynics. You will teach them what they've always heard is true -- that all politicians are alike. I simply can't believe you're about to do what they say you are going to do. Please say it isn't so.

It is not your job to do what the generals tell you to do. We are a civilian-run government. WE tell the Joint Chiefs what to do, not the other way around. That's the way General Washington insisted it must be. That's what President Truman told General MacArthur when MacArthur wanted to invade China. "You're fired!," said Truman, and that was that. And you should have fired Gen. McChrystal when he went to the press to preempt you, telling the press what YOU had to do. Let me be blunt: We love our kids in the armed services, but we f*#&in' hate these generals, from Westmoreland in Vietnam to, yes, even Colin Powell for lying to the UN with his made-up drawings of WMD (he has since sought redemption).

So now you feel backed into a corner. 30 years ago this past Thursday (Thanksgiving) the Soviet generals had a cool idea -- "Let's invade Afghanistan!" Well, that turned out to be the final nail in the USSR coffin.

There's a reason they don't call Afghanistan the "Garden State" (though they probably should, seeing how the corrupt President Karzai, whom we back, has his brother in the heroin trade raising poppies). Afghanistan's nickname is the "Graveyard of Empires." If you don't believe it, give the British a call. I'd have you call Genghis Khan but I lost his number. I do have Gorbachev's number though. It's + 41 22 789 1662. I'm sure he could give you an earful about the historic blunder you're about to commit.

With our economic collapse still in full swing and our precious young men and women being sacrificed on the altar of arrogance and greed, the breakdown of this great civilization we call America will head, full throttle, into oblivion if you become the "war president." Empires never think the end is near, until the end is here. Empires think that more evil will force the heathens to toe the line -- and yet it never works. The heathens usually tear them to shreds.

Choose carefully, President Obama. You of all people know that it doesn't have to be this way. You still have a few hours to listen to your heart, and your own clear thinking. You know that nothing good can come from sending more troops halfway around the world to a place neither you nor they understand, to achieve an objective that neither you nor they understand, in a country that does not want us there. You can feel it in your bones.

I know you know that there are LESS than a hundred al-Qaeda left in Afghanistan! A hundred thousand troops trying to crush a hundred guys living in caves? Are you serious? Have you drunk Bush's Kool-Aid? I refuse to believe it.

Your potential decision to expand the war (while saying that you're doing it so you can "end the war") will do more to set your legacy in stone than any of the great things you've said and done in your first year. One more throwing a bone from you to the Republicans and the coalition of the hopeful and the hopeless may be gone -- and this nation will be back in the hands of the haters quicker than you can shout "tea bag!"

Choose carefully, Mr. President. Your corporate backers are going to abandon you as soon as it is clear you are a one-term president and that the nation will be safely back in the hands of the usual idiots who do their bidding. That could be Wednesday morning.

We the people still love you. We the people still have a sliver of hope. But we the people can't take it anymore. We can't take your caving in, over and over, when we elected you by a big, wide margin of millions to get in there and get the job done. What part of "landslide victory" don't you understand?

Don't be deceived into thinking that sending a few more troops into Afghanistan will make a difference, or earn you the respect of the haters. They will not stop until this country is torn asunder and every last dollar is extracted from the poor and soon-to-be poor. You could send a million troops over there and the crazy Right still wouldn't be happy. You would still be the victim of their incessant venom on hate radio and television because no matter what you do, you can't change the one thing about yourself that sends them over the edge.

The haters were not the ones who elected you, and they can't be won over by abandoning the rest of us.

President Obama, it's time to come home. Ask your neighbors in Chicago and the parents of the young men and women doing the fighting and dying if they want more billions and more troops sent to Afghanistan. Do you think they will say, "No, we don't need health care, we don't need jobs, we don't need homes. You go on ahead, Mr. President, and send our wealth and our sons and daughters overseas, 'cause we don't need them, either."

What would Martin Luther King, Jr. do? What would your grandmother do? Not send more poor people to kill other poor people who pose no threat to them, that's what they'd do. Not spend billions and trillions to wage war while American children are sleeping on the streets and standing in bread lines.

All of us that voted and prayed for you and cried the night of your victory have endured an Orwellian hell of eight years of crimes committed in our name: torture, rendition, suspension of the bill of rights, invading nations who had not attacked us, blowing up neighborhoods that Saddam "might" be in (but never was), slaughtering wedding parties in Afghanistan. We watched as hundreds of thousands of Iraqi civilians were slaughtered and tens of thousands of our brave young men and women were killed, maimed, or endured mental anguish -- the full terror of which we scarcely know.

When we elected you we didn't expect miracles. We didn't even expect much change. But we expected some. We thought you would stop the madness. Stop the killing. Stop the insane idea that men with guns can reorganize a nation that doesn't even function as a nation and never, ever has.

Stop, stop, stop! For the sake of the lives of young Americans and Afghan civilians, stop. For the sake of your presidency, hope, and the future of our nation, stop. For God's sake, stop.

Tonight we still have hope.

Tomorrow, we shall see. The ball is in your court. You DON'T have to do this. You can be a profile in courage. You can be your mother's son.

We're counting on you.

Yours,
Michael Moore

Letter to Michael Moore from Soldier

"This is a message I wrote to Michael Moore today after reading his open letter to the President. I laughed at first while reading it but then he bashed the military and that sent me over the edge. So hear is what I wrote."

Dear Mr. Moore, My name is Chris Silva and I am a Specialist in the US Army. I recently read your open letter to President Obama and I had a few questions about things that you brought up in your letter. First question is that how do you know that there are only 100 members of Taliban left in Afghanistan? Obviously you must have resources to know this for a fact otherwise you would be lying about this and your credibility is complety shot. Not that you had any credibility to begin with but we'll just go with it. Now if there really was only 100 Taliban left in Afghanistan, do you really think that the Joint Chiefs would be recommending more troops to Afghanistan in the first place? I mean come on, use some logic here. Second, why did you disrespect everyone who is currently in the military or has ever been in the military? when you said that we love our kids in the armed forces but hate our [explitive] generals, you not only disrespected all the generals out there, but you disrespected everyone in the armed forces by saying that. Since you are obviously ignorant of anything other than what you say let me give you some background on the military structure. You have the Officer side, which would be your generals, colonels, major, captains, etc, and then you have your Non-commmisioned officer side, that's your sergeant majors, sergeants, corporal, and finally you have your enlisted side which is your specialists and your privates. When anyone comes into the Army, you start out as a private. You eventually work your way to being a sergeant and then you have the option if you have gone to college and graduated to become an officer through ROTC or OCS. Then after that you have another ladder to climb in being an officer. It takes a very long time to become a General in the Army and every one of them started out as a private, so by you saying that we hate our generals, you insult everyone beneath them as well because people like myself take orders from them and carry them out to the best of our ability. Finally, why are you of all people being critical of the person that YOU voted to be president in the first place. Until you have been over to Afghanistan to see what actually happens over there, you can not be critical about anything that has happend since you haven't done anything for this great nation except rip and berate anything that doesn't put money in your pocket. My brother is also in the Army and he leaves for Afghanistan in July and I leave in 2011 for Afghanistan. I hope you sleep well in your nice bed tonight Mr. Moore because there are soldiers out there who are sleeping in a foxhole and are just fine because they are hanging on to the fact that they are doing something for their country that they love and would die for.

Letter to Michael Moore from a real American

Dear Mr. Moore,

I honestly have to tell you... I hate your fucking guts. Forget about how un-American you are, how politically retarded you are, or how fat you look while slobbering your political garbage all over everyone - mainly, I despise you for the fact that you make money off of influencing the young minds of America to be Bush-haters. Personally, I do not agree with some of the President's decisions; however, I am wise enough to blame our entire country for poor decisions. We voted him in. Twice. I am also deferential enough toward our country not to make public remarks about our CIC because I have respect for him; I respect authority and do not lay blame on one man's head. I felt your, "Bowling for Columbine," to be in poor taste just like the way you live your life. Let's look at you for a moment... you, a formerly overweight, sloppy man, who points his formerly fat little finger at everyone else all the time and makes money from American tragedy. What have you done for America except to drag it down with your inaccurate portrayal of our government? You, a big-mouth waste that uses his "movie" making to influence uneducated America. You are not a politician, but you should be with the diarrhea of inaccurate information and sensationalism that spews from those lips, but, then again, that is just like a "movie" maker does.

You are a pariah to our nation... the fat kid who got beat up by the jocks at school, and this has formulated your hatred of America. If I didn't know any better, I would think that George W. himself went to school with you and kicked the shit out of your pie-hole everyday for being such a candy-ass. If you are so passionate about politics, use some of your blood-making money to make it a better place instead of making movies that only benefit your fat-ass fanny-pack. No one likes to see Hollywood try to engage our minds with their ridiculous and one-sided political rants during award ceremonies. Your "movies" are just a façade hiding your own political agenda, which, by the way, is fucking warped. Have you ever been diplomatic and unbiased in your "reporting" of our national disgraces? No, and you know it. You are a selfish, pathetic excuse for an American, and you can take your formerly big, fat ass over to Iraq and get your pig head cut off and stuck on a pig pole. Then, you can have your equally as fat wife make a documentary about how loudly you squealed while terrorists were cutting through all the blubber and chins to get that 40 pound head off of you. I dare you to go to Iraq and diarrhea all over our soldiers; they would love to strip you naked in the streets and leave you so that the terrorists can pick you up and dispose of you the way terrorists do. If you believe that Iraq and Al-Qaeda were not together, go over there and see for yourself. The only reason you were and are against this war is because you are too much of a waste to fight for your rights as an American and to punish those responsible along with their allies. I bet the people of Iraq are very happy to be liberated from a man who is a criminal and was a detriment to the World - not just the USA. Ask them if they are happy to be liberated. Furthermore, Iraq got what they deserved when they refused to allow UN inspections.

As for the FEMA response... yes, that could have been handled much better; however, that catastrophe could have been avoided if the Louisiana government would have gotten off their asses ten years ago and fixed those levies. Aren't you against big government? Don't we have "states" so that they can be semi-responsible for themselves, or is it that they only want the government to get involved after the fact? I guess that you would be one of the "rich" who should pay more taxes for the poor. Nice idea - but you have to remember that it's nature to have weak and strong. Not everyone can be the same, or you'd be really thin because you would have less money to buy food. True equality means less gluttony for you so that some idiot can have lots of babies they can't support while the "rich" takes care of their poor decision making.

If you want to rant and rave and shit all over America, then turn over all of your money to the poor as you preach. Make your movies, and turn over all of your profits so that drug addicts and criminals can have health insurance. Use your money to give FEMA a larger budget (which was needed even before New Orleans) so that they can better handle mass disasters. You have about as much political education as Mike Brown did mass-disaster education. Take your formerly fat ass over to some low-income schools and help poor kids learn to read if you are so concerned about education. Then everything will be great, and everyone will be so educated that we will have no low or middle class. We will have to contract foreign countries in order to get maids to mop your floors... or garbage-men to pick up all of the fried chicken bones and Twinkie wrappers that used to litter your driveway.

You should be charged with treason and scorned for being anti-American. You look me in the eyes and tell me that the families of 9/11 don't deserve vengeance from these terrorists who will never stop trying to destroy us. What? Are we supposed to turn the other cheek on an attack like that? Fuck you. It doesn't matter how much money we put into health care when these Muslim radicals will stop at nothing to kill Jews and Christians. I think that if they succeed in their mission, health care is irrelevant. I hope that you take this letter, with your thousands of other hate letters, and use it to preach about wasting trees so that you can go hug them while the rest of the country is riding out this storm. We are Americans. We are fighting a war. And if you don't want to be a part of it, take yourself on your little, private jet to France and drown with those pussies in their wine while living next door to terrorists. You are a terrorist of your own kind with your mediocre film career. I think of you as a bigmouth who has lots to say without ever getting your formerly chubby hands dirty by actually making a difference... a bigmouth who only makes money from exploiting America. I guess you do have one quality that I like: the ability to make educated Americans distinguish between a "movie" and facts.
