Anyway, I've heard good reviews of this film from both the left and the right.
I just love it when Fox News makes the claim 'Fair and unbalanced'. NOT

My husband watches Bill O'Reilly, and wonders why I think he's so much worse then, say, Michael Moore. I tell him because MM never makes the claim that he's fair. He's a liberal, and never claims to be anything but. BOR claims his 'no spin zone' as he's spinning faster then a child's toy!!!

Look for O'Reilly spinning in this! They are all spinning.

There is little doubt that the world in general is more liberal than it was 50 years ago and beyond. Conservatives are simply roadblocks on the path to an ever more progressive and liberal world. What a sad existence.

My grandfather was a cop. Spent the last several years of his career as a detective.

Anyway, one of his insights was that an almost sure way to tell if a suspect was telling lies would be that he would constantly go out of his way to remind officers that he was telling the truth.

In light of that, I find it quite interesting that organizations such as Fox News feel compelled to regularly remind you that they're "fair and balanced."

I'm going to see that one when it comes out. The only countries other than America that lack Universal Healthcare are third world countries, in which simply cannot sustain it.

Current local philosophy here about healthcare is rediculous. Your health is a luxary that must be paid for, but oil for your Hummer is a social responsibility.

Fox News has the slogan Fair and Balanced, Bill O'Reilly does not. O'Reilly gives you his opinion, that is what he does, it is what he is paid to do. O'Reilly's No Spin Zone holds people accountable, he will not let them get away with not answering the question presented. How many times has someone been asked a question and instead of answering they give a diatribe about nothing. He won't stand for it, and neither should we.

Moore claims to be a documentary film maker, yet time and again we see that he has lied in his documetaries and staged events. So much for honesty.

Conservatism, I repeat is not an ideology. It does not breed fanatics....But if you want men who seek, reasonably and prudently, to reconcile the best in wisdom of our ancestors with the change which is essential to a vigorous civil social existence, then you will do well to turn to conservative principles
