MorphRC Posted August 5, 2004 Share Posted August 5, 2004 Some parts may not be. But the majority of it, is, ive compared it to 3 other documentaries about the Bush-Saudi relationship, and Moore seemed to get stuffed on his sources, these other docos, had tonnes of paperwork, video, email and personal testimonies. I still wouldnt Bush. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hermione Posted August 6, 2004 Share Posted August 6, 2004 I just read this in my paper and thought I'd share it with you guys. It's just an opinion, but it makes sense~ [quote][b]Bush Polarised US[/b] I refer to the article "Genius or Boor?" in which was written "Farenheit has polarised the US, and it is no coincidence that the film-maker released it in the months leading up to Mr George W. Bush's re-election fight in November". I beg to differ. I have been in Los Angeles for the entire duration of Mr Bush's precidency, and I can emphatically say the film wasn't the root cause of the "polarisation", but his policies and actions were. Most voters have been apathetic, not really caring who was in charge. There was always the core group of diehard voters who supported either the Democratic or Republican party, but that changed in the last four years of this administration. Mr Bush's faith-based initiatives eliminated regulatory and policy barriers that have kept faith-based organisations from working with the federal government to help Americans in need. This made a lot of Christians happy, but angered a lot of liberals and even some conservatives who believe firmly in America's policy of the separation of Church and State. So the people who normally didn't care about the policies of the government say up and took notice. As a result, people moved into two distinct camps: those for and those against. Now this happens in every administration, and there will always be someone against the policies of the new president. But Mr Bush's presidency has taken it to levels of hysteria unknown in the Clinton years. The further right he moves, he makes a believer of an apathetic right-wing conservative, while at the same time creating an empathic left-wing Bush-hater. Mr Bush, as president and as a man, sees the world in black and while, with no shades of grey. You are either "for us, or against us", as he said in a speech given just before America invaded Iraq. This outlook on life has shaped the policies of the current administration. And as a result, most people have had to choose sides... I dearly hope to see the re-emergence of the middle. It was the perfect spot to watch the world go by.[/quote] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
