America Bashers
I have never really thought about the idea of America bashers being American. I knew other countries would bash us, but we bash them also. I was surprised when reading the quote by Michael Moore saying, "Many families have devestated tomight, this just is not right. They did not deserve to die. If someone did this to get back at Bush, then they did so by killing thousands of people that DID NOT VOTE for him! Boston, New York, DC and the planes' destination of California-these were places taht voted AGAINST Bush!" He had such anger and hate toward Bush and I could not believe that he would say something like that. I honestly felt bad for Bush. Did he not realize how awful that would make Bush feel, to say that thousands of people were killed due to him alone?! Micheal Moore was very rude and had no facts to back him up. I realize in America we have the freedom of speech but he took it to far. This story in all really did make me think about things. It made me realize that America does bash themselves. In the story they say part of it is due to the Vietnam generation. I don't really have much to say on that because I don't know anything to detailed on the Vietnam war or generation. I do agree that bashing in America is definitely in the news for a long time. I never put that together until I read this story. This story definitely opened my eyes to the bashing in America today.

But review the ending of Moore's Sicko, in which he makes clear his critique is so harsh exactly because he is such a patriotic American, because he believes America is supposed to be about ideals of liberty and community that it is failing to uphold.
